Are you looking to put yourself on a new trajectory?  Would you really like to be considering new possibilities and taking new action? 

Now more than ever people are desperately seeking to break themselves free from limitations.  You know that familiar adage “doing more of what we’ve always done …“  Well, it rings especially true today.  In his book, The One Hour Breakthrough, Doug Berger makes the compelling point.  “People are widely conditioned to look outside themselves for explanations of limitations.  You do so at your own peril.  As soon as you place limits outside of yourself, you forfeit the opportunity to play for breakthrough.  It is only in playing by new rules that you can truly be the author of your life.  If you are not the author of your life … NO Breakthrough.”

In this session you will discover that Breakthrough is a learnable skill set.    Doug will talk about how to:

·         Recognize ways you limit yourself … then put those limits aside

·         Bring your aspiration of the future to life

·         Think Breakthrough

·         Take bold action

·         Be more satisfied and fulfilled

Doug will be sharing insights from The One Hour Breakthrough.  Copies will be available for signing and purchase.
