Raising, teaching or mentoring boys? Create a Success Mindset, build Self Confidence, raise Self Esteem and teach the most important Life Skills by focusing on the ONE thing that drives all other results.

Developed over 27 years with over 3,000 boys at a unique summer camp, this effective approach has more than 60 years of results to prove it works and strategies to use right now in everyday situations. Effective even when time and opportunity are short, this new approach will transform parenting, grandparenting, teaching, coaching and mentoring by helping a boy form the specific beliefs about himself that lead him to take responsibility for himself and create success in every area of his life, including:

• I can do it!
• People like me;
• My opinion matters and people respect my opinion;
• I can try new things and be successful;
• I can make friends with people I don't know;
• My life matters and I have a purpose and reason for being here.

Discover:

• Why learning this formula is the BIGGEST needle-mover (even if you think a child is too young or too old);
• How to recognize opportunities everywhere and why the answer isn't found in expensive private schooling or the latest educational toy;
• The single biggest mistake that holds a boy back (and keeps him from ever achieving the success you want for him);
• Easy-to-do actions and activities that make an immediate difference;
• How to go from hoping you are doing a good enough job to knowing you are focused on the one thing that really matters.
