Do you believe that you have the ability to deeply impact your community and the world? You are more powerful than you think. We all have unknown capabilities and untapped potential and we live in an age where anyone can create new ideas and change the way others respond and act. This course is designed to spark significant change in you. Then from you to others. This course is based in part on Seth Godin's altMBA, a $3000 online program. It is for people on the cusp of something big and want to move past their status quo.
Change is hard. Inertia and busy-ness are obstacles. The Catalyst Course is about action towards your goals. The course requires a significant amount of work. But doing anything remarkable requires work. You will plan towards your goal, address fear of change and other emotional barriers, and take your first steps to execution. And you'll do it with the support of others doing the same.
