We all have dreams and desires for our lives. Why is it that sometimes we get what we want and sometimes we don’t? Why do we start out in the direction of our goals only to find ourselves off course or falling short of what we know we are capable of? And more importantly, how can we consistently accomplish the goals we set along the path to living the life of our dreams?

Those were some of the questions I began asking myself at a time in my life when I was $70,000 in debt, living in someone else’s garage apartment and feeling I had few prospects for my future. I had already read all the bestsellers on personal development and taken countless seminars so I knew what to do, just not how to do it. Finally, I got so incredibly frustrated that I was spurred to take the immediate action that would change my life for good—I asked myself, what is really the difference between those people who have wealth and power beyond their wildest dreams and those who live from paycheck to paycheck? Because the mind always seeks resolution, that one unanswered question sent me on a quest to study the great leaders in every field, from billionaire Richard Branson to Martin Luther King, Jr. From my research I developed my system of Speed Modeling™, which allows anyone to replicate the results of those high achievers they admire most.

Most people go through life believing they have to cope with themselves as they are and life as it comes because, “that’s just the way it is.” The scientific fact is, reality is subjective and therefore, you can actually create your life however you want it. You can forever transform the aspects of your personality and behavior that no longer serve you. The answer to the question—what sets successful leaders apart—is their mindsets, attitudes, strategies, behaviors, beliefs, and values. I developed Creation Technologies™ as a specific set of tools that literally re-patte
s thinking on a neurological level to replicate the thinking and behavioral patterns of success. The Christopher Howard Companies were then established to give individuals and organizations that set of techniques to turn their dreams into realities and passions into profits. n
It's the nature of humans to do things better, quicker, and faster. Prior to Roger Banister, running a mile in four minutes or less was considered physically “impossible.” When Bannister broke the record, he also broke through the commonly held limitations of people’s thinking. Now high school and college students are breaking that barrier everyday. The same thing happened when Chuck Yeager broke the “sound barrier” flying the X-1. Where there was once a thought pattern or belief “that could never be done,” we have now discovered ourselves capable of flying even further and faster. Just as we are making major advances in the areas of science and technology, we are leaping forward light-years in the field of human potential. The fact is we can each break through any of our own internal “barriers” to personal power to achieve beyond what we previously imagined possible for ourselves. n
How? The specific tools of Creation Technologies™, including Speed Modeling™.
If traditional psychology is the study of “What’s wrong - and why?” then Creation Technologies™ are the study and practice of “What’s right - And how can we reproduce it?” If there is anyone achieving the results you desire for your own life, then it is possible for you to “download” and “install” the personality factors that made their success inevitable.

An important key to taking control of your destiny, is taking charge of where you focus your attention and time. William James, the grandfather of American Psychology, once said, “Focus is everything. It determines everything in an individual’s life. My deep regret is that it seems to be too difficult to teach.” Well times have changed…Creation Technologies™ put you in charge of your focus and therefore your results.

Athletes are masters of their focus. They train themselves to be present in each moment so that they are ready to make the best of those moment-to-moment opportunities, yet strategize the future. A soccer player running down the field towards the goalpost knows what he wants and the most direct route to it. If he dwells for even a second on the last goal he missed, he might not see that split-second opening between the two players in front of him. He not only has put a picture in his mind of what he doesn’t want, he’s missed a valuable opportunity in the present by staying in the past. This same ability is essential to success our business, financial and personal fulfillment. All of our power to create what we want is always in the present. When you learn how to redirect your focus to what you want rather than what you don’t want, the possibilities for your life are as endless as your imagination.

One summer while I was on vacation from college I became a tin man: selling aluminum siding and roofing door to door in the Boston area. The business has a bad reputation but our siding and our roofs were the finest available. Our prices were high but fair. In spite of what consumers always want to believe, you can’t get the best without paying for it.
