With
The
Orientation
-
Part
1
Having
Been Said
So,
now,
with
that
said,
let's
first
talk
about
how to
get the
most
out of
this
Academy,
shall
we?
Understand
that
the
site
offers
a ton
of
basic
principles
in
and
by itself.
The
mentioned
textbooks
offer
a lot
more.
Use
both
the
site
AND
the
textbooks
with
the
goal
of
gleaning
as
much
as
possible
from
whatever
sources
mentioned.
Each
textbook by itself has certain principles that can easily be
learned. But, when added to the rest of the Academy and
the rest of the textbooks, they add un-disclosed hidden benefits
that can only come together the way they are presented here at AGS
Life Academy.
Hence,
there is no other school, college, university like this
one. We teach people the fundamentals so they can
individually think for themselves. There IS a step by step
process to THE system presented here.
Training
Wheels
For
an example, when a parent tells a child you must stop when you
come to the street and hold my hand before crossing, they don't
have to explain that vehicles move at such a fast rate, that
they can take the child out before they realize what
happened. But, the law is when you come to the street, you
must STOP. AND then hold my hand tightly before we cross
the street together. There could be other unintended
consequences if the law is not obeyed.
Later
on, when the child becomes older and more mature, then they will
learn those consequences and the other hidden reasons initially
why stopping at the street and holding the hand of the parent is
important. Or, why it is important to obey the laws of the
land. So a certain amount of faith
& obedience
is critical to the child's growth and development.
The
same with this Academy. The law so to speak is listed in
each textbook or each section of the Academy, but it is the
meditation on each section in combination with everything else
that will give the greatest benefits. The spirit of the
law or the principles. Not just the letter of them.
That is what will produce the greatest leap
frog aheads in marriage, in work situations, in life.
Happiness, peace, hope, joy, accomplishments, progress will be
abounding tremendously as iron clippings to a magnate.
AGS
Life Academy
looks at the WHOLE person. The individual student must
learn the principles, the laws, and tailor them to themselves
for the fullest benefits to them and everyone else. Then
obey them.
Initially,
learn and obey and later on you will UNDERSTAND and we already
learned that knowledge comes before understanding and
understanding comes before wisdom. Isn't wisdom what we
are after? Then, let's go back to the beginning and let's
learn the knowledge. Obey whether you understand or
don't. That will come later.
Just
like the child holding the parents hand at the street
corner. When they mature a bit more, they will learn and
eventually be able to cross the street on their own without the
holding the hand of the parent. The training wheels to
help a child learn balance in riding a bicycle type training
system. Eventually, those training wheels will come off
the bike and the child will ride like they have always known how
to ride.
Remember,
you, the student, are the teacher of the future teaching your
children or others. Learn the material with that objective
in mind. Alright? Step by step. Principle by
principle. Item by item. Build in flexibility in the
process.
WHY 6 Months?
Before
we start let's understand why AGS
Life Academy
uses 6 months in our foundational programs. It could
easily be done in 3 or 4 months by the super aggressive, 6
months by most people, 9 to 12 months by slow reading individuals
who also maybe super workaholics and super socially active and who knows how long for the non-serious.
For
balance in life, we use one hour a day for studying, yet, if one doubles that time to two
hours a day, obviously, the Modules would be done twice as fast
as only one hour a day. Should one increase their study
time to 3 or 4 hours a day, so much the better. 8 Hours
would be full time and not recommended as we do encourage
working at the same time.
Please see the typical
day
for sample routines. You need balance in life and as was
said in the Organizational & Management college the Founder
and President attended "Everything has a place and everything in it's
place". There IS a reason why we suggest what we
do. Our point is whatever time it takes, it will be worth it.
We
are continuing to add new items to increase the depth of
learning all the time and may suggest in the future 6 to 9 or
maybe even 12 months of education depending on the seriousness of the student,
how in depth they may want to dig into certain Modules and other factors.
Our
suggestion is keep the 6 basic Modules intake adding additional
reading beginning in month 7. This way, you have the
foundation
- the 6 months programs - before digging deeper in any one area.
Many have devoted their careers to even portions of each Module
becoming "experts" in selected sections of it.
We're not recommending that for the masses. Get the
foundation first. Then, in Module 6 you can decide what
direction you may want to pursue.
As
we say, the 6 months time frame is being kept to keep the overall
focus of the student on the missing dimension of the basics of
how to live life more abundantly while raising their standards
in the process AND leap-frogging ahead of their
peers.
In
other words, the basics of what needs to be learned. You,
the student, should realize go through the 6 Modules so YOU get
the most out of them for yourself. Do it the right way as
suggested regardless of whether you complete the process
in 3 or 4 months or 9 to 12 months. Take it step by step
at YOUR pace. YOU will be the winner for it.
Let's
get started, shall we?
A
14 Day Preparation
System
For
Mind-Blowing,
Solid, Ever-Growing,
All-Around
Success
The
rest of
your
life
depends
on what
you do
over
the
next
several
days.
Hence,
take
this
seriously
as
suggested.
Consider
this is
a true
Academy
for
learning
as it
is.
It may
just be
the
most
important
learning
you
have
ever
done.
If you
can
read
3rd
grade
English,
then
YOU can
achieve
great
things
within
the
next 6
months.
And, we don't
care
from
what
kind of
background
you may
have
had.
Nor,
what
kind of
situation
you may
find
yourself
in at
the
present.
Quite
frankly, we expect
you are
either a Down
and
Outer
or
Basket
Case or
a
non-Basket
Case.
Basket
Cases is
who
this
site
was geared
for
originally.
Hopefully,
that is
YOU.
We've
found
that if we
can
turn
Basket
Cases
into
Rolls
Royce
type
leaders,
what
can we
do with
you non-Basket
Cases?
So,
now, it
is for
both
Basket
Cases
AND
non-Basket
Cases.
We
do
believe,
however,
that
Basket
Cases will be
transformed
more
dramatically.
And
faster.
Like a
rose
with
plenty
of
sunshine
and
water
and the
right
nutrient
filled
soil,
you will
blossom
in
time.
6
months
time.
Basket
Cases
in many
cases
are
more
"hungry"
for
knowledge
to help
them
achieve
goals
of
improvement
than
non-Basket
Cases. You non-Basket Cases, prove us wrong. But, it
really
doesn't
matter.
Both
can
succeed.
Just
follow
directions.
Don't
innovate.
Just
follow
directions.
AND ...
read
EVERY
word.
Don't
skim.
Then,
plan on
reaping
the
rewards
galore.
6
months
is all
it may
take.
6
months.
The
only
difference
between
this
Academy
and a
brick
and
mortar
building
Academy
is the
distance
between
us.
And YOU
will do
most of
the
work
yourself.
Both
types
of
Academies
- brick
and
mortar
and
here
online
- require
textbooks. Our textbooks
are
different
than
most
Academies
and
that is
true. Ours will
prove
more beneficial
real
fast,
however.
They
are
filled
with
Street
Smarts
while
the
other
is
filled
with
theory
or what
some
want
the
masses
to
learn,
whether
practical
or
not.
They
need to
fulfill
government
requirements. We don't.
One
Academy
has a
live
body
teacher
while
the
other (AGS
Life Academy)
is at a
distance
online. We just
don't
believe
you
will
need a
live
body to
walk
you
through
what is
in this
Academy.
You
should
be
smart
enough
to
learn
on YOUR
own.
Therefore, we are not
going
to
insult
your
intelligence
by
requiring
you to
have a
live
body in
front
of
you.
And if
you
should
want, we are available
for
whatever
questions
you may
have online.
AND,
without
the
private
Academy
expense
either.
After
each
module,
you may
obtain
a
Certificate
of
Completion
for
that
module
if
you'd
like.
Click
here
for
more
information.
This is
not
critical
for
your
success
however.
Finding
The
Time
One
of the
first
things
you may
need to
do, is
find
time to
go back
to
school.
This
Academy.
Hence, we suggest
go
through
the time
management
section
and
first
determine
why you
want to
go back
to
school.
Then,
use the
sheets
in that
section
to map
out
what
time
you
have
and the
activities
you are
doing.
Think
about
each as
you
list
them.
You
should
be able
to find
the
necessary
time
each
day.
By
the
way,
all we suggest
is one
hour a
day. Two would be better, but one hour a day is all it may
take.
See the
typical
student's
day.
Even
if
initially,
only
one day
a week
is all
you can
find to
start.
Then,
as you
progress,
you'll
find
the
time to
up it
to two
or
three
and
before
long,
you'll
be a
part-time
every
day student
of AGS
Life
Academy.
Remember,
we understand
what it
is like
to be a
Basket
Case
and a
Down
and
Outer.
Start
from
where
YOU are.
In the
circumstances
YOU
find
yourself
in, at
any
given
moment.
The
key is
do this
step by
step, as
the
following
suggests.
You
will be
able to
get the
necessary
time to
take
the
courses.
Initially,
read
the
textbooks
and do
the
other
things,
like
homework,
as
directed.
The
more
you do
the goal
setting
portion,
the
more
you'll
cement
in the
reasons
why you
will
continue
the
program
and be
that
Rolls
Royce
type
leader
in 6
months.
That
is our focus -
to get
YOU to
the
Rolls
Royce
status
in 6
months.
This
Week
This
week is
preparation.
Next
week,
you can
actually
get
started
in the
self-help
"new
YOU
transition"
development.
Here
is a
STRONG
suggestion:
Immediately
contact
your
local
library
and
reserve
and/or
obtain
as
quickly
as
possible
the
movie
or DVD
My
Fair
Lady.
(Libraries
are
fantastic
FREE
sources
of lots
of
great
things.
More
about
this
source
elsewhere.)
This
movie -
My
Fair
Lady
- is an
outstanding
movie
not
only as
an
excellent
quality
family
entertainment,
but
also
for YOU
and YOUR
transformation
situation
towards
the
"New
YOU"
right
now.
Again,
... IF
... YOU
are
serious
AND
willing.
Watch
the
awesome
movie
and
understand
that
YOU are
the
flower
girl
and AGS
Life
Academy
is Mr.
Higgins
... AS
A
REMARKABLE
ANALOGY.
Then
the
question
becomes
... how
high
can YOU
dream?
Another
Suggestion
Are
you
familiar
with
Johnny
The
Bagger?
You
should
be.
If you
have
not
viewed
the
following
two
short
videos,
please
do.
http://www.karmatube.org/videos.php?id=108
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5059143759817044986#
Then,
between
the My
Fair
Lady
video
and
Johnny
The
Bagger
videos,
consider
what
YOU can
do
going
forward?
AGS
Life
Academy
can and
will
transform
YOU in
the
next 6
months
on a
more
profound
basis.
In all
7 areas
of
life.
Your
future
is in
YOUR
hands
starring
you in
the
face as
you
read
this.
Currently,
have reverted back to total give-away status of the Academy.
Therefore, only the Auditing
Program
is available and everything, including the Registration, is FREE
to everyone.
Some
students have decided to take the For Credit Courses anyway even
though they may not hand in their work and won't be graded on
any of it. But, they will have gone through it should the
Academy decide in the future to change back to For Credit
Courses, they will have already completed much of the work.
Obviously,
the Academy is still being more fully developed.
The
first
day - read
the
entire
site
through
once on
the
first
day.
The
purpose
this
day is
to look
at the
big
picture
and how
it all
fits
into
the
whole.
The
balance
of the
day,
allow
the
mind to
consider
what
you
read.
You
should
have
already
bookmarked
the
site.
Maybe
even
make it
your
home
page
for
awhile.
The
second
day -
read
the
site
again,
yet
more
specifically
pondering
each
section
in how
it may
pertain
to
YOU.
Cover
the
first
five sections
more
thoroughly
-
Purpose
&
Objective
&
Vision;
How To
Get The
Most
Out Of
This
Academy;
Typical
Day;
and The
Foundation.
Also,
cover
The
Courses
section.
The
third
day - read
the
site
again,
especially,
The
Foundation;
The
Courses
and the
various
sections
on that
page.
Begin
thinking
about
YOUR
goals,
your
objectives
and
your
plans
of what
YOU
want to
get out
of this
program.
Write
them
down.
Do NOT
do this
until
the
third
day.
The
first
two
days
emphasis
needs
to be
done to
set the
stage
for
this
day.
This
may be
one of
the
most
important
days in
your
life
going
forward.
It sets
the
stage
dramatically
and
cannot
be
under
estimated
in its
value
as the
first
two
days
does as
well.
The
fourth
day - review
your
goals,
your
objectives,
your
plans
as you
review
the
site on
the
fourth
day to
make
sure
you are
following
the
guidelines
as best
as YOU
can
with
YOUR
filtering
system.
Order

These 10 textbooks
will be
your
primary
textbooks
for your learning at AGS
Life Academy.
Buy
pre-owned
but in
good to
excellent
quality.
You
want
the
information,
not the
high
price
new
books
would
require.
AND
yes,
spend
the
money
up
front
and get
them
all in.
It will
be
worth
it.
These
textbooks
are not
like
most
textbooks
in
mainstream
colleges
and
universities
costing
upwards
of
hundreds
of
dollars
a
piece. They teach principles of living in a certain way that
makes sense and is easy to understand. There are other
books that are good, but
we feel these are the best for the purpose
and objective
AGS
Life Academy
wants to convey.
These 10 textbooks
should
cost
under
$10 a
piece
plus
shipping
of $4
or $5
or so
dollars. Yet, in some cases, the cost may be much
higher. Some may cost $0.01 a piece, while the
shipping may still be $4 or $5. Hence, the expectation the
total investment for YOUR future to be under $125.
Therefore,
the
total
cost
for ALL 10 of
your
textbooks
at AGS
Life
Academy
should
be
under $125 for pre-owned books. Many libraries also contain
these books with the understanding they cannot be marked up as
they can be if they are your own. New may be slightly more
expensive. The key, is to order them as soon as possible to
get them ALL in up front.
You
might
try Amazon.com,
ebay.com,
or
other
online
book
outlets
or more
locally
in book stores or eventually our own Fulfillment
Center.
Some of
the above
books
and
material
cannot
be
acquired
through
local
stores
and
must be
acquired
online. We do suggest find these books as quickly as
possible as some may be harder to acquire than others.
Some of
these
items
may
take a
few
days,
weeks
or
months
to
actually
get in
your
possession.
Hence,
order
them
quickly
before
you
actually
need
them.
Remember,
you
will
need
the
first
book,
Ben
Franklin's
Autobiography
by this
Sunday
or in a
few
days.
Bookmark
the news
sources
listed.
Review
the health
page as
well as
the Cash
Flow & Budgeting
pages.
The
fifth
day - read
the
site
again
so it
really
is part
of
you.
Begin
reviewing
the news
sources
sites
to get
a feel
for
them.
Do NOT
make
any judgments
on any
of
them.
Remember,
there
is a
reason
for
each of
them on
the
list.
From
the far
right
to the
far
left
and
several
in the
middle
with a
few
analytical
ones as
well.
There
are
some
with
"religious"
overtones
as well
from
very
different
perspectives.
For a
reason
explained
throughout
the
Academy.
Prove
all
things
for
your
self
while
learning
to
understand
where
others
are
coming
from.
Don't
innovate.
Just
follow
the
system
and
learn
to
discern
what
YOU
want
with
YOUR
own
personal
value
system.
Check
out the
full
disclosure
page.
Begin
the
preparation
for the Budgeting
program
as well
on the
fifth
day.
The
sixth
day - read
the
site
again
and
review
the
progress
you
made
over
the
last
six
days.
Plan
out the
next
week
taking
into
consideration
The
Typical
Day
suggestions.
Begin
day
dreaming
about
your
life
ahead
and
everything
YOU
believe
YOU can
do and
achieve
in the
future.
You
truly
have
begun
the
awesome
process
of
using
this
site to
YOUR
advantage.
You
have
set the
stage
for
explosive,
blockbuster,
leaps-and-bounds
progress
for
yourself.
Imagine
what
others
will
think
of you
in 6
months. And,
I mean
that
very
sincerely.
The
seventh
day - sit
back
and
relax.
Take
the day
off
from
your
"normal"
activities.
Get
into
the
habit
of
taking
one day
a week,
preferably
the 7th
day of
the
week,
to
relax. In certain locals, 7 means
"complete". Hence, the day to rest from
"normal" activities. A great day to meditate on
the week just past AND think about what you did poorly and want
to do better and what you did well and do more of in the future.
The
Second
Week
This
is the
first
week of
the
rest of
YOUR
life
AND the
"new
YOU".
The
transformation
really
begins
now.
The
foundation
is
being
laid
before
you to
build
your
success
platform
on.
On
the
first
day of
the
week,
Sunday,
first
part of
the
day,
begin
reading
according
to The
Foundation
your
first
book -
The
Autobiography
Of
Benjamin
Franklin.
The
second of
the first
three
things is
your Exercise
Program
while the
third item
is Staying
Informed
with the
international
news.
These
three
things
should
be first
part of
your day and
every
day
from
here on
out.
Actually,
6 days
a
week.
The
seventh
is
always
a rest
day.
Build
that
rest
day
into
your
plan
right
from
the
get-go.
You'll
see the
benefit
later.
A
quick note
on How To
Study as a
report that
many high
school
graduates
complain
about
colleges
being too
hard as
they never
learned how
to study has been published.
So, let's
dive into
that topic
so YOU can
get the
most out of
THIS
Academy.
The
following
is not
meant
to
insult
your
intelligence
but to
aid you
in how
to
study
to get
the
most
out of AGS
Life
Academy
and
become
a Rolls
Royce
type
leader
living
life
abundantly
and
others
gravitating
around
you as
if you
were a magnate.
How
To
Study -
6 step
process
1.
No
distractions
- Go
into
your
special
study
area
and
turn
off any
and all
electronics
you may
have in
the
area.
All
those
TVs,
radios,
iphones,
Blackberries,
computers,
instant
messaging
&
email
programs.
Remove
any and
all
distractions.
You
want
just
the
textbook,
the
computer
with AGS
Life
Academy
index
page on
the
screen
and a
yellow
high-lighter,
yellow
pad of
paper
and a
pen.
And one
hour.
One
hour a
day
first
thing
in the
morning.
Every
day.
Set
that
time
aside
and
faithfully,
do not
allow
ANYTHING
to
interrupt
your
daily
studying
time.
Paper
vs.
online,
Kindle,
etc
textbooks
&
books?
A
recent
credible
study
has
shown
that
reading
paper
(soft
or
hardbound)
books
is
preferable
over
the
computer
or
online
versions,
Kindles,
etc.
Many
side
benefits
from
reading
the
paper
versions
that
the
computer
and /
or
online
versions
and
Kindles
do not
have
and
enjoy
make
the
choice
more a
no-brainer.
You
are not
interested
in
"saying"
you
read
such
and
such a
textbook.
You
want
the
information
that is
in the
textbook.
You
don't
want
snippets
as the
computer
tends
to
generate.
More
and
more
studies
are
disclosing
that
those
raised
on
computers
are
loosing
the joy
and
great
benefits
of
reading
hardcover
or
paperback
books.
They
have
trouble
concentrating
while
reading.
Reading
is
becoming
a lost
art
that
really
needs
to be
found
again.
As fast
as
possible.
There
is so
much
locked
away
you
cannot
get any
other
way
than by
reading.
A
quick
digression.
There
was a
business
owner the Founder / President was
helping
with
his
finances
and a
general
consultant. He suggested
several
specific
books
that he knew
would
address the owner's issues
directly
and
more
than a split
second
or two
for his
extremely
limited
attention
span. The owner told him that
he gets
nothing
out of
reading.
That he
may
read
something
two or
three
times
and as
fast as
he
reads
it, it
is
gone.
At
school,
his
teachers
said he
was
marvelous
with
computers.
Yet,
terrible
in
other
subjects.
He is
about
to fail
in
business
as
well,
because
he
doesn't
read.
The
answers
are
right
there
so easy
and yet
beyond
him for
not
learning
how to
read. His
potential
is
truly
amazing,
yet
without
the
ability
to
read,
he will
continue
to
fail.
How
unfortunate.
And,
truly a
shame.
From
past
experience,
personally
and by
observations
and
previous
consulting
days,
even
without
the
various
studies
on
paper
vs.
computer,
there
is
something
special
about
the
paper
books. Studies
are
showing
this to
be true
as
well.
Therefore,
if at
all
possible,
always
select
and
read
the
paper
versions.
Develop
the
love of
this
art -
reading.
Do it
for 30
days
and see
what
you
think
at the
end of
that
time.
Once
in the
special
study
area
with no
distractions,
AND the
door
closed
if at
all
possible,
begin
your
reading
of
paper
books -
your
textbooks.
You
want to
read to
understand.
Not
just
read.
You
want to
make
your 6
months
venture
as beneficial
as
possible
AND as
simple
and
easy as
possible.
In
other
words,
as the Founder's dad
used to
say,
try
learning
as much
as
possible
from
others
rather
than by
your
own
trial
by
error
scar-filled
ways. Let others feel the pain and suffer and you reap the
benefits of learning by observation only. What they did or
didn't do.
2.
Read
&
How To
Read - The
first
time
you
read
something,
take
the
book
and
after
opening
it up,
look at
the
Table
Of
Contents.
That
Table
Of
Contents
has a
wealth
of
information
that
you can
review
quickly
to see
the
overall
direction
of the
textbook. Skim
some of
the
pages
and
chapters
to get
a
"feel"
for the
book
and the
chapters.
When
you are
ready,
begin
on page
one,
unless
otherwise
directed,
and
read to
understand
what is
said.
Try to
get the
meaning
of what
is
provided.
Now is NOT
the
time to
skim.
Read
every
word.
You
want
this
information
and not
just to
pass
some
test
for a
grade.
There
are no
tests
nor
grades
here at
AGS
Life
Academy
when you take the Audit Program.
Read
the
entire
Forward,
Intro
pages
or
whatever
there
is
prior
to
Chapter
one.
Initially,
when
you
come
across
words
you
don't
understand,
you
have
two
options.
One
attempt
is to
discern
the
meaning
from
the
sentence
and /
or
paragraph.
The
other
is open
a
Dictionary
and
look up
the
word
and
learn
the
meaning
that
way.
Both
methods
have
merit.
Just by
reading,
you
will
learn
lots of
words
as you
progress.
Words
will be
your
friends.
Learn
as many
as
possible.
Especially,
colorful
nouns,
descriptive
adjectives,
meaningful
adverbs,
action
verbs.
Later,
your
income
may
substantially
increase
by
internalizing
these
gems.
More
about
this 6
or 7
figure
opportunity
later.
You may
even
consider
making
a list
of
these
jewels.
You
are
learning
PRACTICAL
Street
Smarts
you
cannot
learn
any
other
way
than by
reading
books.
Select
books.
Yes,
read
more.
But as
you
read—read
less,
think
more.
In
other
words,
as you
read,
stop
and
think.
Therefore,
it may
take
longer
than
just
skimming.
It
will.
Take
the
time to
think
and
think
deep.
The
deeper
thinker
you
are,
the
more
rigorous
your
thinking
is, and
the
more
you
exercise
and
challenge
your
mind,
the
deeper
your
understanding
can
be.
Isn't
that
what
you are
after
by
attending
or
going
through
AGS
Life
Academy
-
understanding
AND
then
wisdom?
3.
Go
back
&
Review
&
How To
Review - When
you
have
finished
all
that,
go back
and
skim a
second
time to
pull
out the
highlights
of each
section.
Usually,
these
intro
pages
give
the
overall
direction
of the
book
with
some intriguing
insights
into
how the
book
was
developed,
written
or came
about.
This
info is
good to
know
info.
Background
info
you
will
use
later
on.
When
you are
ready,
begin
Chapter
one.
The
same
approach.
Read to
understand.
When
you
finish
Chapter
one, go
back
and do
a quick
review
highlighting
key
sections
or
phrases
or
sentences
or
whatever
you
think
is
important
to
YOU.
List
these
highlighted
items
out on
paper.
Don't abbreviate.
Write
it out
long
hand. We want
you to
get in
the
habit
not to
skim or
skip
over
things
too
quickly.
Go
slow,
especially
in the
beginning
to GET
IT.
These
are
some of
the
future
principles
that
will
transform
YOU.
[You
may
decide
to use
your
computer
Word
document
type
program
instead
of a
yellow
pad and
that is
fine.
Label
the
page
with
the
title
of the
book,
the
section
of the
book
and the
notation
"Interesting
things
in this
section".
The
same as
you
would
on your
yellow
pad of
paper.]
4.
Yes,
Write
It Out
&
Why - Once
you
have
written
down on
the
yellow
pad or
your
computer
what
you
found
important,
go on
to the
next
chapter
and do
the
same
thing. We are not
asking
you to
learn
those
highlighted
sections
nor
what
you
wrote
down.
They
will
come in
handy
later.
Now
is just
reading
and
recapping.
Reading
and
recapping.
If
you
don't
find
anything
interesting
in a
chapter,
then
make a
note to
that
effect.
Don't
force
something
that
isn't
there
... for
YOU.
Some
chapters
may
have
more
than
others
and
that is
to be
expected.
Overall,
in your
quest
for
knowledge
and
especially,
right
knowledge,
as that now famous sales
manager to the Founder told him years
ago
now,
"If
you can
glean
just
one new
thing
from
each
book,
it has
paid
for
itself
and the
time it
took to
read
the
entire
book." Good
advice. We expect
you to
get
more
than
one
thing
in each
of
these
books.
5.
Pause
&
Ponder
- When
you
have
covered
the
entire
book,
chapter
by
chapter
with
the
highlighted
sections
and the
yellow
pad or
computer
filled
with
hand-written
or
hand-typed
items,
pause.
It
is time
to
reflect
on the
overall
book.
From
beginning
to
end.
What it
had to
say.
Also,
what
you got
out of
it ...
so
far.
Actually,
take a
whole
hour or
so at
least
to
ponder
this.
Write
down
your
thoughts.
How can
YOU
implement
what
you
read,
what
you
highlighted,
what
you
wrote
down
into
your
life?
Do YOU
see the
merits
of
making
those
changes
in your
life?
Ask
yourself
the
who,
what,
where,
why and
how
questions
in that
regard.
Dwell
on that
for a
day or
two.
Write
your
thoughts
down.
6.
Re-read
- When
you
have
finished
that,
go back
and
re-read
the
entire
book
again
from
the
front
cover.
This
time,
notice
you
will
get a
lot
more
out of
the
entire
book.
You may
wonder
how
that is
possible
and
that is
part of
the
repetition
process
of
education.
The
more
you
read
and
study
something,
the
more it
becomes
you.
It is
called
the
process
of osmosis
and it
actually
takes 6
times
before
it
becomes
you.
The
Process
Of
Osmosis
Digression
The
first time you hear something,
no way
is the
typical
response.
The
second,
well,
maybe.
The
third
time,
ok, I
can see
that.
The
fourth
time,
yes.
Alright.
The
fifth
time,
of
course
while
the
sixth
time
one
would
say, of
course,
doesn't
everyone
believe
this?
Haven't
you
been
doing
this
with
your
reading,
highlighting,
note
writing,
reviewing,
re-reading,
etc?
When
you
write
things
out
with
your
own
hands,
it
helps
the
eyes
take it
all in
in two
steps
so you
get all
the
senses
into
play.
You see
the
words.
You
feel
the
words.
You
hear
the
words
as when
you
read,
doesn't
your
mind
hear
the
words?
After
awhile
you can
even
taste
the
words
but
that
comes
with
training.
The
secret
of
using
this
Process
Of
Osmosis
principle
later
on will
be how
to do
this
entire
process
in one
sitting
for
super
rapid
internalization.
That
will
come.
Just
begin
slowly
and
systematically.
This
technique
in
sales
helped the Founder and President set
incredible sustained records.
It
increased his closing
averages
substantially
higher
than his peers
while
driving his volume
of
business
1 1/2
times
the
industry
standard
with a
fall-out
rate
substantially
lower
than
the
industry.
Net
results
was he needed
to see
half as
many
potential
clients
to
achieve
overall
net
placed
higher
volumes
of
business
than his peers.
He
sold his company
generated
leads
to
fellow
peers
as most
of his new
business
came
from
un-solicited
referrals.
They
heard
about him from
satisfied
clients
which
is
another
principle
to
learn -
do more
than
what is
expected
promising
less
but
delivering
more
and the
business
will
always
find
you.
Work
smarter
and not
just
harder.
These
techniques
are
just a
couple
techniques
you
will
learn
in this
Academy. He did have a reputation in the industry.
Check out always
be true to you.
You may also want to check out Business
101
for further techniques to grow businesses.
Again,
this
principle
of the
Process
of
Osmosis
will
come.
And a
lot
more
principles
as
well. Remember, if the Founder and President could do it,
YOU can too. He started slowly and methodically and with perseverance
to learn the principles. Then, everything else came
naturally. That's the principle of what AGS
Life Academy
is built on. Go back to the basics and learn it slowly and
methodically and then it BECOMES you.
Anyway,
when
you
have
finished
reading
the
book
the
second
time,
now go
back
and
review
your
notes.
Do so
for a
few
days.
An hour
a day
every
day of
reading
you
should
have
time to
finish
the
book in
a
month.
But,
even if
it
takes
you two
months,
it is
still
worth
it.
Take it
slow
and
methodically.
Step by
step by
step.
The
system
works.
Some
days
you may
be able
to read
an
extra
half
hour or
even an
extra
full
hour
and
that is
fine as
well.
Again,
The
Second
Week
After
you
spent
the
first
hour
reading
and
beginning
your
transformation,
then,
begin
your
exercise
program
according
to the
health
section.
Do what
is
comfortable
for
YOU.
This will
be good
after the
reading
program so
your mind
can wind
down a bit
and absorb
what it has
learned so
far.
Then,
the third
item is
spend
the
time
necessary
to
become
current
with
the
international
news
according
to the
news
sources
provided.
30 days
should
be
sufficient
before
trimming
this
time back to
12
to 18
minutes
first
part of
the day.
Immediately
after
reading
according
to The
Foundation
schedule
and the
exercise
program.
Again,
these
three
things
should
be first
part of
your day and
6 days
from
here on
out.
As a
reminder,
the
seventh
is
always
a rest
day.
You'll
grow to
really
appreciate
this rest reward benefit
later.
Spend
the
rest of
the day
as you
normally
would.
After
dinner
with
the
family
and an
evening
together,
spend
another
couple
or
three
or so
hours
on your
Budgeting
program
and
your Time
Management,
which
will
help
you get
organized
and disciplined.
Also,
review
the health
section
again
making
plans
accordingly.
So,
the
first
day
sets
the
stage
for the
rest of
the
week
and the
future
at AGS
Life
Academy.
If you
hadn't
noticed,
the
only
cost
are the
textbooks
and
materials.
Everything
else is
FREE.
A
different
type
educational
learning
experience,
wouldn't
you
agree?
We expect
you to
be debt
free at
the
conclusion
of this
Academy.
Or, at
least
in
regards
to this
Academy.
And, if
you
have
implemented
the Budgeting
program
you may
be debt
free
elsewhere
as
well.
A
huge
difference
between
this
Academy
and any
other
institution
you
might
consider
is this
one
teaches
fundamentals
that
will
truly
help
you be
balanced
in life
as well
as
organized
and
financially
secure.
You
will
also
live
life
more
abundantly
as it
has
been
said
before,
the
more
you
implement,
the
more
you
will
get out
of the
program.
It IS
YOUR
future!
Tell
The World What You're Doing
One suggestion we make is to tell
everyone you know that you have decided to go back to
school. A special type school. An Academy for
leadership development. An online 6 month program you can
do at home or wherever you want and whenever you want.
Just an off-hand remark may be sufficient.
Or, you may want to challenge
those close to you - immediate and extended family, co-workers,
supervisors, acquaintances, others - to join you in your
educational pursuits. Why not do it together?
Helping and encouraging each other? And, it is free.
Anyway, right now. That may change in the future, just
don't know. But, do make it clear that YOU will continue
whether they do or not.
As you progress in the Academy,
you will be able to remind all that know you that you did tell
them what you were doing and now they can see the difference in
the transforming "New YOU".
When
activities
of the
day
want to
smother
your
"New
You"
desires,
you may
need
that
extra support as well. That just may also keep you going to
overcome a particular obstacle of the moment that you might not
would have succeeded through without the pressure of others
knowing what you're doing.
We do
understand
this
need
and
will do
whatever we can
to also keep
you
going. Please feel free to keep us in the loop letting us
know how you're doing from time to time. We really are
different. We do care about YOU. It will
be
worth
it to
do
whatever
necessary
to keep
going.
Keep
A Journal
On
the 1st day of the week - Sunday, the planning day - every week,
keep a journal to record your thoughts and progress of YOU going
through
AGS
Life Academy.
Included in this journal should be your meditations, questions,
and most importantly, what YOU got out of the program so
far. Any points of personal correction would also be worth
including.
This
is for YOU alone. It is NOT to be sent in or to be read by
anyone else. YOURS ONLY. For the Diploma Program and
above level of student involvement (Consultant, Masters,
Private), you will grade yourself on a scale of 0 to 5 (0 being
a failure and 5 perfect) on your effort and the benefit you gain
from it. You should submit that grade for consideration in
your overall grade as if it will be one of your take-home
quizzes.
This
journal should be done regardless of the level of participation
(Auditing, Certificate, or the required levels of Diploma,
Consultant, Masters or Private Prep).
This
journal will be helpful in your learning process in a profound
way. You will notice the progress you have made probably
within the first 30 days. As simple a task this is, please
don't underestimate the value of it. A sufficient amount
of time should be spent doing it. Don't short-change
yourself.
You
may want to keep this journal weekly even after completing AGS
Life Academy.
Plan
To Return
At
Least
Once A
Year
There
really
is so
much here and so much more to be added in the future. After
you
complete
the 6
month
Foundation
program,
it
would
be
worth
your
while
to
return
at
least
once a
year. Go
through
it
again. completely. There will be more added by
then. Repetition
is very good in any case.
It
refreshes
the
mind to
what
you
have
learned
before.
The
second
or
third
time
you
repeat
something,
it fine
tunes
you as
you
learn
so much
more.
As if
you
never
saw it
before.
Which
may be
the
case as
well as
so much
is
being
added
almost
daily. Again, by the 6th time, it has become you.
So,
plan on
returning
once a
year
and
going
back to
the
basics.
The
entire
program
as if
you
were
taking
it for
the
first
time.
Go
through
each
page
one by
one as
it
indicates.
Read
and
don't
skim.
It
really
will be
to your
advantage.
YOUR
Future
Is Now
In YOUR
Hands
With
all due
respect, we expect
what
you
have
here
AND
your
attitude
of
seriousness,
you
will be
a
different
individual
in just
6 short
months
from
now.
Count
on
it. We do.
