CHRISTINE'S PHILOSOPHY Emotion is the driving force behind all human intellect, accomplishment, and success. If you cannot feel where you are going, you cannot SEE it either. As the visionary behind 20 / 20 Vision for Success, Christine brings her personal and professional philosophy into the firm. This value core is infused in every aspect of the service provided by the 20 / 20 Vision for Success team. Beginning with your initial contact and continuing beyond your contracted time, 20 / 20 Vision is committed to your accomplishment and success. The workshops we provide teach a range of subject matter focused on helping your company—through the efforts of your people—reach and exceed goals. The tactical matter of these workshops is vital to the application of any plan, yet it is the emotion that is evoked in the workshops that will drive each participant to feel and thus SEE how to get there. In life we face obstacles and adversity, even in the midst of joy. Success is found in recognizing obstacles and overcoming them by trusting in our ability to seek knowledge and apply it. Anyone can read a book. Anyone can take a class. Truly successful people are emotionally motivated and driven to run towards their goal and achieve their success. They seek knowledge, then learn and apply learning faster. Christine credits her success in sales, business management, and life from an ability to express and share emotion, evoke emotion while teaching, and through helping others express their own emotions. 20 / 20 Vision is built on a succession of refined processes that enable motivated participants to unleash an inner drive and strive to success. 20 / 20 Vision for Success workshops can accelerate your ability to achieve through emotional awakening while you learn. Experience the benefits of 20 / 20 Vision for Success. See and feel YOUR POWER.

It starts with your words    There Isn't Enough Time!  Instead of being a victim and relinquishing control, take ownership of your day.  Gods granted us this day.  Matthew 6:11 - give us today our daily bread -  So use it wisely..  Say instead I spend my time doing ____ this for work.  I spend my time doing ____ this for family.  I spend my time doing ____ this scrolling on social media.  I spend my time doing ____ this for fellowship.  I spend my time doing ____ this for working out.  This is how I break down my day.  We have 24 hours in a day -  48 --> 30 Minute Blocks  1,440 Minutes  Bed at 9:30 -  up at 4 AM  That's 6 and a half hours  The COST - 27% of my day.  The reward: I am rejuvenated, my body has healed and repaired etc.  The alarm goes off, my eyes open.  GO, Don't hit snooze!

I choose to figure things out for myself I haven't taken the time to create S.M.A.R.T. goals! Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Timely I haven't been consistent enough to make a habit. My results are coming — (Say it with me now) because I am not doing.  I Don'tDon't Know Where to Begin! I haven't taken the time to research what is the best for my goals. I haven't cared enough to start!  I Don'tDon't Have Support! I haven't made my goals public! I haven't taken the time to reach out to someone for help! I am hanging with the wrong people! I asked for help from the wrong person!  I Have No Idea What I Want? Say: My life has been on autopilot, and I have not cared enough to figure out what truly ignites me. If you don't know what your WHY is, you will fail when it gets uncomfortable.

Craig talks with Pastor Jon Gerlach about guns in America after Jon commented on one of Craig’s posts with a very interesting take on it all. In this episode, we learn about how Jon found the church and how it impacted his belief system, and also Craig’s faith-based struggles. This episode is not a gun debate, but much more of two guys discussing theory and application of the bible. This episode was recorded in Sept 2020 when the US presidential election race was dividing the country and guns was a hot topic at that time. *I am releasing this episode after the fact, but wanted to bring attention that there were 147 mass shootings in America at the point of publishing this episode.

Craig Capurso Hosts this episode and breaks down these 6 excuses. craigcapurso.com ... I don't know-how ... I'm Afraid  ... I don't have enough time ... I don't have enough money - ... It's too late for me - ... It's too hard -   Are You Interested or Committed to your goals? Well…What's the difference? If you're only Interested you will only do what's convenient... How many times have you allowed an excuse to Stop You from getting something you wanted? Look I get it…  Some folks don't grow up with the best circumstances: Born into a household that lacked Support, Money, Education, Opportunities… And now when you look back, you attribute the lack of success to a product of what lot you were given… That's Weak Sauce…. Right There.. That's playing the Victim… That's that same Crap that is rampant in today's political environment, which I will NOT be getting into on this podcast today… It’s easy to beat yourself up when you look back at what you didn’t accomplish! or When you look in the mirror and are disgusted with what is staring back at you. But! If you truly look at what got in the way, and you are honest with yourself you will see... That it was always you. Not your circumstances! IT WAS YOU! It was your lack of COMMITMENT!   So I am going to work through some common excuses and solutions to those excuses If at the end of today I moved you to take action and help you to re-commit to whatever has been on your mind. I want to hear from you.  Leave a comment where ever you are hearing or watching this. That you are Going to take action based on this wake-up call, or that you already took action. ------------------- Excuses!!!! ... I don't know-how This statement gives you permission to not even try.  This is one of the easiest to overcome.  Hell… you can learn how to build a house on YouTube if you are truly committed. Try This Educate your self, take a course, Hire Help, Join a Support Group, Get a coach for accountability   ... I'm Afraid - “Every successful person was too they just choose to persist and build their confidence by venturing  beyond their doubt"  Try This: Ask yourself what is the worst thing that can happen?  List it out List all the good things that can happen? You will likely see the good outweighs the bad "Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and FOCUS on what could go right!"   ... I don't have enough time - You make time for what’s truly important to you. Try This Create a list of the things you do on a daily basis from the moment you awake until the end of the day. Record your activities in 20-minute blocks. (Include everything) Do this for the week.. You are going to find a lot of waste, but you will also find 2-4 hours that you can take back and dedicate to your goals.  ... I don't have enough money - There's usually a way to work around a lack of financial resources.  Take the step from the last example Try This make a list of all the things you spend your money on and look for waste. Look at all the things that don’t serve your goals Look for recurring subscriptions that you don’t use. You can Increase your skills by Volunteering or Interning which can lead to bigger pay or opportunities Get a Second job, Get a Side hustle. Money is not scarce… the way you think about it is!  ... It's too late for me - Getting a late start might be less convenient and more challenging, but God determines when it's over.  Not your limiting beliefs.  If you still have the physical ability to put forth the effort you owe it to your future self to do so. Try This Find out what you want What is your real why is What interests you, What influences you What motivates you. And then Build a plan, Take it one step at a time one rep at a time.   ... It's too hard - Claiming that something is “too hard” is really just another way of admitting that you’re afraid. And Yes,  It’s going to be harder than what you are used to giving as per energy, attention, mental concentration, but I can tell you from experience that the satisfaction of completing something that you poured your heart into and earned is priceless. Try This Set your mind on success! Get an accountability partner. Listen to a Podcast or Watch Youtube videos that motivate you Affirm yourself with the reasons WHY you want IT and Why NOW is the time you are going to achieve it.   You want a trick when going after your goals? Make Them SMART S - Specific M - Measurable A - Attainable R - Relevant T - Timely   And Set goals along the path. Small goals often help provide wins that are critical to boosting your confidence. Let go of the excuses, and Let go of the reasons why you can't.   When you do this you will see past your own limiting beliefs. - It’s time you surprise yourself It’s Time To BECOME! And Take responsibility
