Personal Enrichment Program 2012

Are You Ready To Make A Change?

Join me as I embark on the next journey of a lifetime – the Personal Enrichment Program!  If you don’t know me, my name is Stacia Kelly, and I’m the co-owner of Studio 13.  I’m continuing my journey on the Ultimate Black Belt Test.  I’ve spent the last year improving myself and working to help improve others as I’ve participated with the Ultimate Black Belt Test Team 8, which started on January 1st, 2011.

As another year approaches, for 2012, for one of my projects and in conjunction with several of my teammates, I am looking to put together a small team of  “student members” to join me in this journey.

What does that mean? Well, that means that I’m looking for people to look at their life and say “I want massive change/improvement.” Regardless where that person is right now in their life, they want to take some serious action to improve physically and mentally. You do NOT need to be in shape. You do NOT need to be a martial artist. All you need is the desire to make a change within. How do you know if that’s you? Here are some questions to think about…

1. Are you tired of where you are physically? Mentally?
2. Are you looking for that “thing” to kick your rear in gear and get you living life more fully?
3. Do you have weight you want to lose?
4. Do you feel you’re not living up to your potential?
5. Are you stuck in life’s rut and want to climb out?

I love doing what I do – teaching the life-changing benefits of martial arts. But what I love even more is seeing people grow. Seeing someone go from point “A” to point “B” and become a different person.  Seeing someone make such a huge change that their eyes light up, they walk taller, they look people in the eyes, they have more pep in their step, and their confidence explodes.

Check out our YouTube Channel to see some of the things I’m tackling with our team.

Before I write a book about what the program is, visit http://www.ultimateblackbelttest.com and read for yourself what I will be going through (again). What will your part in all this be? Well, whatever you want it to be.  What do you want to accomplish? How can you make 2012 the best year of your life? Do you have 100 lbs to lose? Have you not picked up a book and read from cover to cover in the past 20 years? Do you have a serious lack of self-confidence? Do you just want to take every aspect of your life to a new level?

As a member of this program, we will sit down and set up a series of goals for you for 2012. Physical, mental, emotional, social, financial, etc., whatever it is that you want to accomplish, and you feel you can do it in a year, we will put it on the list. We’ll make a plan. We’ll help hold you accountable.  We’ll give you information to help educate you about what it’s going to take to reach your goals. Workout plans, nutrition information, etc. will be available. But the most important thing will be the team accountability. Developing the relationships with those going thru it with you will be the most beneficial thing we can give you.

So how does it work? If you’re the type of person who needs a list of what you’re going to “get” in the program, here you go…

• Accountability: To the other team members, coach, and anyone who knows you’re embarking on this journey. The more people know what you’re doing, the harder it is to quit. The more people see what you’re doing, the better chance to inspire them to take action in their own lives. Everything will be posted on this website so people can track your journey (pictures, videos, goals, progress, etc.).
• Education: About nutrition, fitness, anger management, diabetes, and all sorts of other topics.
• Motivation: From your team and coach to keep you pressing towards your goals
• A “Team”: when was the last time you were part of a team that was working together to improve? The team will be there to support you and keep you accountable, motivate you, etc. And, we’ll be joined by other teams working around the country as well.
• Monthly Events: we will meet once a month, look over our goals and progress (or lack of), discuss specific topics to help you on your journey, and bring in guest speakers who are experts in a specific topic. We will also go through a physical workout to help push you to a new level.
• Website: we will have a website dedicated to this journey. This is where you will journal (once a week will be required), track progress, watch each other’s progress and journaling, upload photos and videos, etc. This will be the “hub” where you (and the rest of the world) can see how we’re all doing. This is an incredibly important part of the process.
• A “Plan:” If you need help with workout plans, nutrition guides, etc. we can provide you with that. If you have a gym membership, great – USE IT! If you’re a student of our school (The Training Academy) – then MAKE IT TO EVERY ONE OF YOUR CLASSES! Use the gym equipment we have.  If you have nothing at all to workout with, we will create a plan to make it work. If you haven’t worked out in 20 years – awesome! You’re about to change your life!

What this journey is NOT…

• This is not another workout program. We will not be having you come in and workout or train every week.  The cost of the program is so cheap that it cannot allow for special classes (other than the once a month meeting).
• This is NOT a program for someone who is going to quit. This is for the serious person who wants to take serious action; the person who can push thru the “I want to quit” thoughts that we all get once in a while
• This is not the latest-and-greatest set of workout DVD’s that you buy on late night TV. This is a personal coaching program that will give you the accountability, guidance, and support that you need to reach your goals (as long as you’re doing your part).
• This is not a program of excuses…let me explain.  How many times have you heard (or said yourself)…
  • I can’t afford it (a gym membership, eating healthy, buying a home workout program)
  • I don’t have time (to workout, prepare your meals, spend time with your kids, read a book)
  • That’s just not for me
  • That’s just the way I am
  • That’s the way I was raised
  • I just can’t lose weight – I’ve tried everything
  • It’s too hard
  • I don’t want to

I’m sure you’ve heard it and said it yourself (me too). This is a time for excuses to be GONE! There’s always a solution if you have the right attitude. You can learn the skills if you have the right mind-set. There’s to be NO grumbling and complaining as a member of this team. No one is forcing you to do it, so don’t bring the team down by having a bad attitude. There’s NO gossiping, no trash-talking. This is a team of people committed to massive improvement, and negative attitudes have no place in it.

I once heard…“who you spend time with is who you become.” This is so very true. Whatever type of person you want to become, you had better spend time with people like that. Here’s your chance. This program is NOT about what you “get” – it’s about what you “give.” If you get a gym membership but don’t use it, it’s worthless. If you join the library but don’t read any books, it’s worthless. This program is the same. If you play FULL OUT, and discipline yourself to do what you know you’re supposed to do, then it’s worth at least 10 times what you’re going to pay.

Tuition

The cost of this program is very straight forward – it’s $500 for the entire program paid up front – Installment options: 3 month plan $550: $184 down payment and 2 more monthly installments of $183;  6 Month plan $600: $100 down payment and 5 monthly installments of $100 – no refunds if you decide to quit early. When you pay, you’re on the team (cash, check, credit card, auto pay from your account are your options).

Option 1: One Year Payment

Option 2: 3 Monthly Installments

Option 3: 6 Monthly Installments

The journey starts immediately, although it “officially” starts January 1st, 2012. I will be getting a head start, and you are welcome to join me. The journey ends December 31st, 2012. This is an extremely affordable program, and I want it that way because this program is not about the money – it’s about changing lives. On the other hand, it’s a complete waste of money if you don’t play full out. Think about how much money is spent on inessentials (soda, coffee, eating out, movies, etc.). This is literally $1.37 a day! To change your life?! That’s nothing.  You can’t even buy a large cup of coffee for that.

How to Get Started

If, at this point, you’re ready to take the “leap,” then contact me and I’ll get you started. If you’re not sure yet, think about it, read everything you can on www.ultimateblackbelttest.com. This will give you an idea of what you’ll be doing.

As a “student member,” you don’t need to complete all the requirements of the official UBBT – that’s my job. Your job is to sit down with me and discuss what you want to accomplish if you were to put 100% into this journey. For those unsure, I will be launching our Personal Enrichment website soon with more information, but I’m going to assume the 10 spots will be filled by then, so wait at your own risk.

If you have questions, email or call me – staciakelly@gmail.com or 703-597-2951.
