The Life-Changing Creative Time Catcher 3-Week
Tele-class: The Proven System to Increase Your
Creative Productivity and Life Fulfillment
The book is not ready yet but you
keep asking
me to
teach you the truth about time, now. So here is Part
One. The number one issue that you revealed in my
reader survey was trying to find the time to work on
your creative process or projects. In order to
activate your creative success in life, you must
leverage your individual power to capture time. We
all have the same 24 hours a day to achieve what
we want, yet some people are able to focus and
commit to completion, while other people stay locked
in fear, procrastination, or self-doubt. You don't need
more gimmicks or clutter control suggestions, you
need an overhaul of your thinking and your actions.
This 3 week tele-class series will change your life, if
you let it. You will learn how to:
- Design a Creative Time Catcher Model that works
for you
- Subtract the unnecessary and irrelevant from
your life, including negative people
- Take responsibility for your life choices and
priorties
- Develop new habits and boundaries for your
creative time and space
- Enjoy your work with passion and focus
If it's time to turn your creative inspirations into
tangible forms, make your creative explorations into a
priority in your life, or to launch a new
product/service for your business, this tele-class
series will help you to stop your excuses and give
you the tools to make it happen. It's not about
having more money, a more understanding family, or
a more flexible lifestyle. It's about changing your
relationship with time, designing a customized action
plan that reflects your personality, and utilizing time
recovery and preservation strategies. Read on...

We are all busy in this world of over-stimulation and
overwhelming demands. Yet, some people stay on
target with their life and creative goals and some
people do not. In the process of writing the Creative
Time Catcher Program, I created a workshop exercise
called "75 Excuses for Not Doing Your Creative Work"
which helps you to tune into your individual dance
with time-and the perception of not having enough
time to do what you want. Here are a few common
excuses:
- I fear that I'm not talented enough.
- I can't do anything if it doesn't pay off right away.
- If I spend time on myself and my passions, I am
being selfish.
- I can't decide what I want.
- The people in my life are unsupportive.
If none of these excuses resonate for you, I bet
you have a long list of your own. I challenge you to
make that list and see what beliefs or saboteurs are
blocking you from having the life that you intend to.
Whether you have any of the 5 excuses above or
your own list, join us for the Creative Time
Catcher Tele-class Series and shift out of the
victim role into an empowered, proactive stance. You
can learn to focus your energy on what truly matters
to you. Sign up today and let's help you to turn
things around-right now.
This is a special program and may not be offered
ever again in this format and at this special price.
Reserve your space today. Limited to the first 50
people who sign up.

My colleague, Patricia Aburdene, co-author of the
famous Megatrends books, just released her
new book Megatrends 2010: The Rise of
Conscious Capitalism (Hampton Roads, 2005)
where she writes that the focus on spirituality has
become so pervasive that its impact on personal lives
is now spreading to institutions. As Patricia
says: "Social transformation happens only when
there is a combination of economic necessity and
new values. We are exactly at that point now in
society. The accounting scandals, the tech bubble,
the market crash are compelling capitalism to take a
look at itself. But there must also be a positive sense
of new options, and those exist in the form of rising
interest in spirituality in business, the dynamic
growth of socially responsible investing, shareholder
activism, and the power of values-driven consumers
in the marketplace." As a "future freak", I have
always been a fan of Patricia's trend-setting wisdom
and her new book inspires great hope and
opportunities for innovation and personal and
organizational harmony.
