Synopsis

LCS inspires young adults (really all adults) to learn crucial, real-life street-smart skills, showing them how to control their mind, think big, and take daily action to achieve results beyond their dreams. LCS lays out crucial life skills that schools barely brush upon. It teaches young adults how to grab the bull by the horns and steer their life in the direction they want it to go. It gives techniques on mind control, then outlines key techniques to accelerate their success, and concludes with essential life planning. It shows how to expand their thinking, develop a plan, and jump start their life by taking action now to get ahead of the crowd. LCS is written in easy-to-understand language that can be applied right away. Humor is sprinkled in to keep readers interested and inspiring quotes and graphics highlight important principles. Lots of additional resources are provided along with many actual experiences to easily understand the concepts. Chapters end with What Would Jeff Do steps to apply what was laid out and challenge their families and friends to learn these concepts, but most of all action steps to get started now. LCS is written in a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) format so the mind can more easily understand and retain the information. It shows readers how to harness the underutilized subconscious mind, strengthen it, and align it with their deepest desires, letting it assist them toward accomplishing their goals daily. It gives techniques for squashing typical negative thoughts and focusing on their strongest desires. It shows them how to establish a regular routine for a healthy and clear mind. It tones them to get out of their comfort zone multiple times a day. It helps convert dreams to reality by teaching techniques that have been well tested with others. It can be used as a pocket guide to reference throughout life, filled with foundational skills all adults need. Success can be given to staff to demonstrate company support for employee growth and a related contest can establish department challenges to assure staff members apply the skills. It can be given as a bonus with a sale, used with a mail-in coupon after a purchase, as a discounted purchase with a purchase, or a given as a motivational tool for subordinates or a down line. It could also be used as a free gift for returning a postcard or making a phone call in response to a solicitation. Potential uses are endless with its low volume cost. Parents will partner with their children to help them hone these skills, which will allow them to bond and support their children as they experience new, challenging situations outside of their comfort zone. These skills are designed to keep young adults from entering the rat race, working paycheck to paycheck, that many adults find themselves in with no apparent way out. Since LCS is a series of books, it will encourage long term patronage and it can be customized for your company. With part of the proceeds benefiting a national charity, your company will benefit from positive goodwill, spreading your brand to all of their followers. It will help young adults, their parents, and the country come out of one of the worst recessions we have experienced in decades. LCS offers a unique partnering arrangement that will allow your company to get its message out and reach your target audiences with great material that will build your brand nationwide. Deemed as the anti-bailout plan the country needs to show young adults how to succeed in life, LCS fills vital gaps in the typical school curriculum by providing long-term foundational, proven success techniques to young adults before they find themselves in a dismal situation many people are experiencing in today's economy. Prestige Media Group is a growing multi-media enterprise that produced the LCS series.

About this title

About the Author:

Jeff was born a poor, Russian immigrant girl from the old country... GOTCHA! Now that I have your attention... Jeff grew up in Fayette, Ohio, a small town with just one stop light 35 miles west of Toledo, Ohio. He was and continues to be a very driven person, letting little stop him once he sets his mind to something. Having bought his first rental home at a sheriff s auction as a 17-year old high school senior back in 1981, Jeff rarely does the normal thing. For over 25 years since high school (15 of those while in college at night, during the day, and on weekends), Jeff ran and owned companies, filling roles of CFO, COO, CEO, In-House Counsel, and turnaround specialist, helping those companies reach record sales and profits several years. He also provided financial planning services, served on multiple boards, and volunteered and did pro bono work for over 25 entities. Jeff has also taught at three colleges and given estate and financial planning seminars. Having consulted with a number of companies, led and assisted with start-ups, company growth, and business turnarounds, he has decided to share some of his wisdom gained from all of his unique experiences. Jeff has an ever-growing list of credentials that no longer fit on a business card, including JD (attorney licensed in Ohio and Michigan), MBA, MHCA, CMA, CBM, BS, and AA in management, marketing, computer science, finance, and law; he has also completed advanced training in real estate investing and obtained licenses in insurance/financial investing. As a real estate investor, he remains active in foreclosure/bank-owned, bankruptcy, and probate properties, residential homes, self-storage facilities, and mobile home parks. Jeff still plays competitive volleyball and golf, emcees and sings at local events, and regularly spends time with his family.

Review:

Anyone with high personal aspirations will benefit from and appreciate Jeff's common sense cheat sheet that flies in the face of the pervasive entitlement mentality that so many of us have fallen victim to. Life won't hand you success, but you can and should hand this book to anyone that is seeking it. --Jim Cockrum, International Internet Business Expert

I applaud Jeff s purpose, which is to keep young adults from entering the rat race many adults find themselves in by showing them how to avoid the paycheck to paycheck trap. His book and teachings should be a part of our primary education in this country. I will be buying three copies, one for each of my children to use as their roadmap to success. --Scott Meyers, President, Alcatraz Storage

This guide to real-world life skills should be a must read for all high school and college students and graduates. Written in easy-to-understand language with humor, relevant examples, and lots of references, this book constitutes a handbook for success that can be used by readers for years to come. If you want to guide your life in a positive direction, rather than simply react to the events of the day, this book is for you! --Thomas Gutteridge, Dean, College of Business Administration, The University of Toledo
