Our Assumptions and Beliefs
At Raise Inspired Kids, we believe that attitudes have always been the key to success. We believe the importance of attitude has never been more crucial than now for this time in human history.
We believe children face a vastly different world from the past. We believe the requirements for daily living will be completely different from what we see today.
We believe that, as first generation "GLOBALERS," youth must have the skills to live in harmony with exceedingly rapid chronic change, continuous uncertainty, extensive diversity, deep global competition and profound new technologies.
We believe kids today are on the threshold of an amazing future and life journey with vast new possibilities never before realized by human beings.
We believe youth of today need NEW skills to thrive in such a world.
We believe that youth who learn the new mindsets, attitudes and personal mastery skills will lead a winning life!
We believe that kids that don't learn these new personal mastery skills will be left to STRUGGLE in a world that feels overwhelming and "not what they were prepared for."
We believe that all youth and parents can learn these new skill sets and transform their lives immediately. We believe these skill sets can be taught from birth through old age and that it is never too early nor too late to acquire these winning attitudes.
