Dear Reader,

Black Fives, Inc. has been fortunate and blessed with a great deal of positive attention from many different kinds of people from all corners of the globe. As a result, I receive an increasing number of requests for speaking engagements. That is great, because, as many of you already know, I just love to talk ... and talk! More significantly, I love to make a difference. I believe that my mission is to shine a light on my knowledge and experiences in order to teach, inspire, and bring people together.

The heartfelt, inspiring feedback from around the world, from ordinary and extraordinary individuals who have shared their reactions and emotions about
Black Fives, has often caused me to wondere just what resonates so deeply about the Black Fives story. I have seen tears come to the eyes of grown men, upon seeing or hearing about Black Fives. Why?

There may be many possible theories and individual circumstances but I finally realized that Black Fives is a metaphor for any person or group that has ever felt left out, ever doubted their self-worth, ever feared failure or success, or ever created their own reality. Individuals, leaders, companies, and sometimes even entire communities and cultures face these same challenges -- personal roadblocks that hold them back from pursuing their passions and living their dreams. But how can we be effective leaders if we too are in our own way? Perhaps we can learn something from the pioneers of the Black Fives Era, as well as from others who overcame personal obstacles and left a lasting legacy for us all to enjoy.

Yet, statistics show otherwise. Job satisfaction is at an all time low -- nearly 75% of all employees are unhappy or unfulfilled with their work, not even taking into account compensation! On that note, I believe we are obliged to strive for greater wealth if only because it allows us to make even more of a difference in our world, at whatever level (and of course it makes for a more enjoyable life). How else to leave a legacy?

Unfortunately, studies show that most of us -- even those with the best strategies, knowledge, and work ethic (the best "tools") -- will not overcome our personal obstacles without an outside traumatic experience that forces transformation. That's because even the best tool box (the psychology of one's mind) is useless if it contains broken or ineffective tools that would otherwise condemn us to struggle forever. Unless ... we actively pursue personal transformation and growth through seminars, workshops, and other experiential activities designed to reprogram our blueprints about success (fix the tools, learn how to properly use them, or acquire new ones).

That is where our profound new seminars and workshops come in! We use high involvement, high participation, and high energy to achieve accelerated experiential learning that transforms and becomes a part of you! Here is what you will learn:

  • How to erase doubts about your self-worth!
  • How to overcome fear of failure and worse, fear of success!
  • The hidden causes of most financial and career problems!
  • Why knowledge, skills, and hard work do not guarantee wealth, fulfillment, or success!
  • How your prior conditioning is affecting your blueprint for success today!
  • How to reprogram your success blueprint to work for you instead of against you!
  • How we can learn from the pioneers of the Black Fives Era in relation to today's issues and concerns!
  • And much more!

The information, exercises, and techniques offered in these seminars and workshops are truly profound yet amazingly simple to learn, adapt, and use. On a personal note, I overcame the two biggest difficulties in my own life that for YEARS stood in the way of my own happiness and success -- doubt about my self-worth and fear of success -- using the same transformational techniques I will share with you. I can finally say that I am living my purpose, my mission, my vision, my dream. Now YOU can have that too!

To enroll in a seminar in your area, please click here. Space in these valuable seminars is limited and will likely be filled soon by people who are serious about their personal growth and leadership capabilities. If this is you, please enroll now.

Thank you very much for your interest in Black Fives! I hope to see you at one of our upcoming seminars!

Sincerely,
Claude Johnson
