Do What Matters Most
Despite Uncertainty, Temptation, and Resistance
A 6-hour Recorded Class
This class teaches a radically positive approach to doing challenging work. In this class, you will learn:
- How to quickly untangle confusion about what matters most now
- The #1 tool for focusing your mind on your top priority
- The key to disarming temptations that pull you off course
- How to handle resistance without just resorting to pressuring yourself
- The power of your mind to motivate what matters most
Just-in-Time Planning
A 6-hour Recorded Class plus workbook and 9 bonuses
This class teaches a revolutionary way to plan complex, long-term projects so you can finish them. I call this approach “Just-in-Time Planning,” because it rejects both the over-planning that bogs down many ambitious undertakings, and the arbitrary “just do something” approach, which leads to shoddy work and wasted effort.
Tap Your Own Brilliance
A 6-hour Recorded Class
You already know what you need to know to complete most of the complex items on your To Do list. There’s just one problem. You can’t always access the information when you need it.
We’ve all felt stuck in our thinking at times — though you may have called it “procrastinating” or “bogging down” or “going in circles.” A few basic tools can slay these dragons.
If you want to speed up the process, and learn to access what you already know when you need it, you can learn how in my 4-session course, Tap Your Own Brilliance. This class presents the core toolset you need to pull helpful information out of your own brain, and use it to solve problems faster, make better decisions, and communicate more effectively.

Launch
Achieve a Major Goal in 8 Weeks
Three times a year (January, April, and September) I run an 8-week Launch to help you jump start a project. In this program, you:
- Set a goal or resolution that makes a material difference to your health, wealth, or relationships, which you will achieve in 8 weeks
- Troubleshoot and overcome any practical difficulties that stand in your way
- Build measurable emotional resilience to draw on as you pursue other challenging goals in the coming year
During the 8 weeks you get daily email advice and group coaching calls twice a week. You get what you need to address all of the problems that come up when you start or restart a long term project.
