IN SEARCH
OF THE AMERICAN DREAM
Each year more than a million new
immigrants arrive in this country. We come from
all corners of the world; almost one half from
Latin America. We come in search of better opportunities,
a more hopeful future and a higher standard of
living for our families.
We reach our new country with the
expectation that if we work hard and make a positive
contribution, in the end we’ll be victorious.
What that victory entails is not always clear.
More than something concrete, we’re often
in search of an ideal that we simply refer to
as the “American Dream”. Many people,
however, fall far short of what they expected
to achieve. Why is it that so many immigrants
do not accomplish the goals they set out to achieve
in spite of their hard work and desire to succeed?
Contrary to popular belief, the most
difficult challenge Latinos face in achieving
their objectives is not the language barrier,
discrimination, legal status, or cultural differences.
The real reason so many people fail is their lack
of a concrete, step-by-step plan of action that
clearly outlines how to turn our dreams into realities.
In this seminar, Dr. Cruz shares a strategy based
on the following five premises:
1. Accept 100% of the responsibility
for your success. Our success, whether it is professional,
personal, financial, or in any other area is above
all our own responsibility. Success is not the
result of external factors but of personal decisions.
2. Develop a clear vision of your
goals. Blurry goals produce blurry results. Much
of the disappointment or frustration that we face
is due to a lack of a clear success plan that
outlines our goals and plans.
3. Act your role and become a student
of success. We must live in accordance with success
principles. We cannot break every rule of success
and expect to succeed.
4. Commit fully to your success plan.
Succeeding and having a healthier, happier and
plentiful life requires developing a special commitment
to a new set of habits. This seminar will give
the audience some insights into how to develop
those winning habits.
5. Take action! Albert Einstein used
to say, “Before anything happens you’ve
got to do something.” It sounds simple,
but most of us are waiting for things to happen
without taking any action.
Skills imparted include:
• Eliminate the biggest natural-born
enemies of action
• Turn goals into plans and plans into concrete
actions
• Learn the habits that create success stories
• Get motivated and stay motivated day after
day
• Become a Possibility Thinker
• Put passion and commitment back into your
work
