MOTIVATIONAL ETHICS(12 MODULES, 120 MINUTES)

How To Be Successful And Stay Out Of Prison (The “How To” Course On Making Ethical Choices)

A lot of “good” people find themselves getting fired, or even getting arrested, and have to ask, “How did I end up here?”

You likely didn’t wake up today and make a conscious decision to NOT steal a car or rob a bank. However, you already have made thousands of choices, and those choices will have an inevitable impact on your life, and the lives of others. This course shows how to recognize and understand HOW to be trustworthy, reli-able, and honest in your professional and personal life.

Within The Next Five Years You Could Remain Stagnant, Become Independently Wealthy, Or End Up In Prison

What determines your future has every-thing to do with the choices you make. Understanding ethics can do more than help you decipher what is right or wrong.

If you understand and apply the laws of ethics, then you can consciously make decisions that will inevitably lead you to become Very Successful.

This course will show how to:

• make better decisions

• recognize the difference between tak-ing advantage of an opportunity, and making unethical rationalizations

• avoid the “slippery slope” that starts almost innocently, but can ruin your good name

• recognize your motivations, and the connection between need, opportu-nity, and rationalization

• bring about good consequences from your behaviors and choices
