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.

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.
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.
That’s OK—recordings will be available for 30 days after the conference ends. Just use the 30-day all-access pass included in your conference fee.
I’ll be opening the conference Sunday, October 4th with a keynote titled: How to Get Kids Through College Debt-Free—WITHOUT SCHOLARSHIPS!
This keynote is inspiring, and exciting—and may save you so much on college costs that you could pay admission to this conference 200 times over.

It’s titled How to Win More College Scholarships—Starting in 8th Grade.
(If I can teach your family non-scholarship strategies for getting college paid for, and then inspire your kids with scholarship strategies—your teen will be beautifully positioned to win at the college and career prep money game.)
