About this audiobook

"I'm going to lose 10 pounds before summer." "This time, I'm going to stay in school until I finish my bachelor's degree." "From now on, I'll work on strengthening my marriage every day." We all make promises to ourselves. But only a handful of us are able to follow through on those promises. Why? Because we never learned how... making and achieving personal goals is not a skill taught in school or covered on-the-job training. But now popular author and motivational speaker John Powers provides a roadmap to keeping those private commitments. In The 5 Disciplines of Powerful People: How to Keep The Promises You Make to Yourself, John Powers takes you step by step through making and keeping a promise to yourself. You'll explore how we think when it comes to improving our lives; discover how to build the inner strength you need to stick to your goal; and, most importantly, follow the process for achieving the commitments you make to yourself. As you work your way through this powerful program, you'll learn to:

  • Go from wishes and dreams to promises you can keep
  • Create and channel your passions so you maximize their motivational force
  • Plan, prepare, and incorporate practical thinking
  • Persist in pursuit of your promise
  • Build on your success
  • Utilize various personal power features such as how to deliver at crunch time
  • Live a life of personal power, satisfaction and happiness

No matter what you've promised yourself, you can use this audio program to keep that promise. As John says, "You decide what you want. The 5 Disciplines of Powerful People shows you how to get it."
