What makes a good life? To find out, let’s look at the longest study, ever, on human happiness.

You can help your kids have happy lives by setting them up for careers they love.

Having kids in the house keeps us looking toward the future. It constantly lifts our eyes to the horizon—to what will be years down the line.

In chaotic, uncertain times, this is good for us.

Especially when we say to ourselves, “I can’t control what’s going on in the world right now, but I can control my own behavior and choices. Right now, today, I can take some small manageable steps toward bright futures for the kids.”

I provide very short reading assignments that help with this—every week in my free weekly email newsletter.

Anyone can subscribe for free here.

Our country has been through frightening, chaotic times before, and we will go through them again. How great it is—to build our confidence that our kids are going to thrive and flourish in years to come—no matter what happens.

Being a parent—what’s it like?

Tonight, in just a few minutes after dinner, get your kids ready to open their own parachutes.

I can help you get those kids (ages 12–26) through college debt-free and into jobs they love afterward.

You CAN do this! Getting your kids through college debt-free is achievable!

You can achieve this great goal—you just need someone to guide you.

It takes a lot of internal fortitude to stay with the process of getting your kids through college debt-free.

Which ladder would you rather climb?

Getting your kid through college debt-free is just like any other endeavor in life—you get to that goal by moving forward, one step at a time.

You got through that last part, didn’t you?

Then you are getting through.

This holiday season, don’t forget to have some empathy and kindness for yourself.

On Sunday, October 4th, 2020, I was the keynote speaker at the online College Planning Untangled conference.

Below is a small segment of that keynote.

(If you’ve followed me for a while—can you guess what key principle I was speaking about here?)

I said:

“Here’s our third goal for tonight. Toward the end of our time together in this hour, I’m going to teach you one key principle that no one else you know is talking about.

One key principle that can untangle all the college confusion—and send your kid shooting like an arrow straight to a bullseye—without stress, pressure, or anxiety of any kind.

I’m going to give you a phrase to write down. Write this down now so you’ll be sure to catch it when I talk about it tonight:

You know you need some good solid direction to jumpstart the college planning process for your family—but guidance counselors are hard to reach, and most in-person college prep conferences have been cancelled.

Time to register for a college planning conference that’s all online.

No need to buy a plane ticket or book a hotel room.

All the inspiring info is packed into just two hours—each evening—for a week.

Can’t make one or more sessions?
