We have one simple goal. To help students create The Exceptional Life, rather than the average life, once they graduate and get in the real world. This is accomplished by teaching students the "science of success", the science of LEVERAGING themselves.
Achieving greatness through "next level" leadership of self.
We serve...
Juniors and Seniors at the University of Texas who are contemplating their entry into the real world.
The Center for High Achievement has crafted a one-of-a-kind curriculum that teaches upperclassmen, in a for credit class, how to create "The Exceptional Life" rather than the average life. Once they graduate and enter the business world.
By teaching them advanced Leadership of Self ("I can accomplish anything I set my mind to"). Along with teaching students the science of the human mind. So they can use this understanding to their advantage as they evolve through life.
Further, we teach students Personal Responsibility ("I own my results and I'm never a victim").
And lastly, we teach students 5 high-performance skills that will give our students a true advantage in life. As they each start their unique journey for creating success both in the business world as well as in their personal life.
The difference between college and the real world...
College is very linear. Students go to class, take notes, then regurgitate what they learn on tests. All very linear. But that’s not how the real world works. It’s anything but linear. Every student's path is different. As they seek to self discover what they really want to do with their career as well as discover their unique gifts. So navigating success in the real world is way different and more difficult than navigating success in college. And that’s what we address in our signature course. Creating success in the real world.
Our signature course
The top book in the world on success is Think & Grow Rich. It’s been read by over 100 million people. The book says there’s a "SECRET" for success, but the author only gives us half the secret.
In our course over the semester, John Mitchell – the teacher of this course, reveals what he discovered was the “full secret”. And a 12 minute a day technique to apply it. When John applied this secret to his life, it 25Xed his income from the $200,000 – $300,000 a year he was making the prior 20 years. And gave him a level of CONTROL over his life beyond what he had ever experienced before. And as John often points out, if he had learned at 20 what he learned at 50, what a difference that would’ve made in creating SUCCESS in the real world.
But in this course you’ll learn so much more…
You’ll become a “Master of Influence”. Hence the actual name of our course "Master of Influence, Self Versus Others". This course is in the McCombs school of business. It’s in the management department. If you’re not majoring in business, no problem. You take this class as an upper-level elective.
In this course you will learn something fundamental to your future success. And something you’ll find surprising.
You’re likely playing the “game of life” today at 10% – 20% of your potential.
It's because we're all innately wired for SURVIVAL. Therefore, when you open your eyes each morning, you're innately fear-based and reactive. Exactly the opposite of how you want to "BE" to be productive, creative and happy.
We fix that by teaching you "advanced" LEADERSHIP of SELF. Mastery of self. Before you can lead others, you must first learn to lead yourself.
In this course you will establish a customized, 12 minute a day morning routine that impacts your daily mindset. It establishes immense clarity about your life and wires you for SUCCESS.
Today, there is a bifurcation in society. Between the people that have control over themselves and the people that don’t. Most people don’t. And that's the beauty of this course. It gives you a unique level of control over yourself beyond what you've ever experienced before. And if you're an athlete here at the University of Teas, this will affect your athletic performance as well.
In this class we also teach you the latest academic research on high-performance and success. With Harvard business publication articles that have been peer-reviewed. As well as the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. From the book of the same name.
And lastly you will learn 5 high-performance skills that will find really valuable as you navigate the real world.
So what’s the 30,000 foot view of what you get from this course?
It’s how to LEVERAGE yourself through science. By rewiring your autopilot. When you do that, the right actions start happening automatically without thinking. Impacting simultaneously the 3 key areas of the your life (career, health, romantic relationship).
As to credibility, you’ll be applying the "central concept" of the top book in the world on success (by a factor of 10) to your life. As well as the latest academic research on success and achievement. And once you learn all this, your life is never the same. And it gives YOU a true “advantage” in life, an "EDGE" as you start out your life journey after college.
