The Difference Between Objectives and Goals

I love learning new things and really enjoy teaching others. As a teacher, when you get that “Aha!” moment from a student, it pretty much makes everything you do worthwhile.

Review Time 2

It’s a good idea to periodically stop and assess your situation to see if you are still on course and on time, don’t you agree? That’s what we are going to do this week.

Concepts of Accomplishment

Reaching goals so we can achieve our dreams typically boils down to doing a few simple things well. To illustrate that point, I’d like to tell you a story about coffee and avocado toast.

Embrace the Suck

When something bad happens to you, are you angry and upset, or are you thankful for the learning opportunity presented to you? If you use bad things to learn and you are comfortable with failure, then you know how to embrace the suck.

Have you heard of the 80/20 rule? Even if you have not heard of the 80/20 rule, I’m sure you are familiar with it in at least some way. Let’s dig in a bit, shall we?

More Than Dreams and Goals, It’s About Lifestyle

Here’s an interesting little story. As you read it, see if you can relate…

The Importance of Dreams

All of us dream. If you look up the definition of a dream, you will see various iterations of occurrences while you sleep. If you look up the definition of a daydream, you will see a daydream is something that takes us away from the present, a fantasy, a detachment from the current reality, or a hope for the future.

What The Class Is and Is Not

If you choose to buy a low-cost car, you will have certain expectations in your mind of what you will get and, conversely what you will not get. If you purchase a high-end luxury car you might have higher expectations. Likewise, if you fly a budget airline to a sunny destination, you may expect to pay for a drink and to carry your luggage on the plane with you. If you fly first class on a well-known international air carrier, you will expect superb service and lots of amenities. I think you get the idea. So, what I want to do this week is set the stage for what you should expect when you take the course.

Learning Methodology for Adults

The goal at Afterburner Success Partners is to help you learn how to achieve your dreams and live your best life. To be successful, one of the things we (that’s me as the instructor and you as the student) must understand is the process of learning. If we understand this process, then we can employ effective learning strategies so students can better comprehend the material and thus have better outcomes.
