You determine your future—don’t let anyone take this power from you.

Earn more freedom by controlling your emotions, money and time.

Learn the secrets to be more powerful than friends and siblings.

Be yourself, do what you love and create the life you want.

Do you realize that siblings, classmates, friends and circumstances steal power from you each time you react to them? YOU have power to make choices that determine your future. Once you learn these 10 secrets, you will enjoy more power and freedom than you ever dreamed possible.

Kirk Martin and his teenage son, Casey, will teach you THE POWER PRINCIPLE: NO ONE and NO THING can have power over you unless YOU choose to allow it to. These principles are timeless and helpful for EVERYONE, whether you are seven or seventy.

 
Bonus CDs—Workbook & 10 Habits of Powerful People

We have included a helpful Workbook that Casey has used dozens of times to create a visual, written map for his future. It’s a very powerful tool. Bonus material includes tips on overcoming peer pressure, time management, problem solving and not being afraid to fail. We even address video games, Facebook and texting so you can learn the 10 habits of the world’s most powerful people.

About This Project
This project is 20 years in the making and draws heavily upon our work mentoring 1,500 of the most challenging kids at Camps right in our own home. We have been asked for years to create CDs and workshops that speak directly to kids. I can’t tell you how many hours of studio time and recordings have been “wasted” trying to get this just right. Finally, this past spring, we brought together 350 pages of notes and found the perfect theme: 10 secrets to getting the power and freedom kids want.

But it was another element that made this project complete: my son Casey’s willingness to throw himself into this mission. I want to thank Casey. It takes a lot for a sixteen-year-old to make himself vulnerable publicly, in front of both friends and strangers, by sharing his own struggles, quirks and challenges. But it is exactly this that makes this project so powerful.

We speak bluntly to your kids. Very directly. This is how I speak to kids in person. I don’t treat them like kids, I speak to them as adults. We purposefully created this to be appropriate for all ages, honestly, from age 7 to 70. Obviously, older kids will be able to understand more than younger kids. But we consider this an essential part of everyone’s home library, for all their kids, like a set of encyclopedias.

Content

#1:  To be powerful, you must understand, like and be yourself.
Casey shares his own struggles with and solutions for disorganization, writing, anxiety, transitions, procrastination, time management, boredom, arguing, being oppositional, sensory issues (smells, foods, clothes, etc.), friendships, social skills, fidgeting...and more. We discuss fairness, bossyness and cheating.

# 2:  Take power over your choices and live with no excuses.
You must resolve within yourself that you are going to live life with no excuses. It's not about what your brother or sister or classmate or teacher or father or mother does. Your life is going to be determined by YOUR choices. You have tremendous advantages and society needs you to use your unique skills.

# 3:  Get power by controlling yourself, not others.
Quit whining, complaining, threatening and trying to wear your parents down.  The only person you can really control in life is yourself. You can't control your parents, other kids, your teachers or circumstances. But you can control yourself, how you react to other people and situations.

# 4:  Get power over your emotions and reactions.
When you react to situations or people with anger, harsh words or tantrums (crying, whining, screaming or throwing things), you let anger, frustration and stress have power over you. From this day forward, you are taking back power over your emotions. Casey explains the steps he uses in any situation to get power over anger, frustration, disappointment and stress.

# 5:  Power with your siblings.
One of the most difficult challenges in life is getting along with your own family. Sometimes it feels like you're competing with your siblings for attention, toys, snacks and everything else. That makes family life "us against them" and means that when you get more or get things first, you're happy...but when someone else gets their way, you're unhappy. That stinks and makes your moods and happiness so unstable, because now circumstances control your emotions. We're going to show you how to become the most powerful person in your home. This is REALLY cool.

# 6:  Power over money and the power of giving.
The quality of your life will largely be determined by this question: do you have power over money, or does money control you? Casey will give you eight very specific ways to have power over money. We'll also show you one way to immediately change your life for the better. This ALWAYS works.

# 7:  Power over your words and body.
The words you speak determine, to a large extent, the course of your life. Instead of whining and complaining-which gives power to circumstances-we'll show you how to use your words to create the future you want. We address nutrition, exercise and drugs in a way your kids have never heard it put before-so they can take ownership over their choices.
 
# 8:  Power to build friendships.
Peer pressure, the popularity trap and social skills are often the most difficult challenges we face in school. Casey will share with you three very specific steps he takes in social situations. And we'll give you tools to be confident so you don't have to constantly "one-up" or put down others. We'll explain one powerful secret guaranteed to give you power with others and have more friends.

# 9:  Power over school and homework.
Like it or not, school is your job right now. So Casey and I will give you some powerful tools to make school and homework time easier. You may be surprised to learn how Casey studies.

#10:  Power over your future-discover your unique purpose.
Do you know what all successful people have in common? Once you learn this secret, the sky is the limit for you. YOU have a great future ahead of you. It just isn't going to be like everyone else's life.

Kids always listen to someone other than their parents, especially when it's another kid. These are all the life lessons you wish you could inject into your child!
