"There are 6+ billion people who don't care about your dreams.

They care about theirs.

It therefore follows that the only sustainable behavioral model, in a world in which so many look down upon others in order to stand tall,

is getting what you want by helping others get what they want - and, happily for us all, this works whether you be Mother Teresa or Nicolò Machiavelli." (The author.)

Attaining your dreams, however you define them, depends upon your realizing and acting consistently with this reality
- indeed, upon

Attitude/Knowledge/Action TM.

It depends upon your marshalling into, and in, battle the good - and keeping away the bad - and we take great pains to transcendently illuminate both.

These and "Thousands Of Insights And Strategies For Better Business And Personal Lives TM" are provided you in

Attaining American Dreams !!!!!! TM

- which frontally attacks what it is that holds most people back, whether they be rich or poor:

Fears, insecurities, and lack of self-esteem,

Insufficient insight, regard for others, and specific knowledge of how to go about improving their own life circumstances, 

The fact that, very often, people just "don't know that they don't know."

If you are an individual in any walk of life, we would be honored to have you as a customer.

		If you are a CEO, EVERY problem you face - HR, training, productivity, profits, suits and shootings, other workplace violence, insufficient customer-orientation, counter-productive "wrongful conventional" "outplacement," insufficient shark-proofing of retirees and others, insufficient marketing and financial literacy, divergent goals among the players, including insufficient employee buy-in, alcohol and other drug use, sub-par creativity, poor attitude, discouragement, insufficient self- and others-esteem, and other problems, in the workplace or hidden or known problems emanating from outside the workplace (such as troubles with spouses or other dependents) - every one of these problems can be helped IF... 1 people can be made to feel better about themselves, and, therefore - surprise, surprise! - others, 2 they can be enabled to bring to bear greater financial, marketing, strategy, and "reducing mistakes in thinking" literacy, and 3 they can be encouraged to act, Attitude/Knowledge/Action TM. We were fortunate to realize this elegant, simple, and profound truth - for your benefit - and, indeed, for the benefit of us all...
Attaining American Dreams !!!!!! TM is a gift a CEO gives his families - both business and personal - that repays, enrichens, and ennobles many times over.

And its implications are profound. For example, putting employees through naked, unadulterated anger management courses or the like is a BIG MISTAKE. In part because it is inherently insulting, it MAKES people - especially those on the periphery of behavioral acceptability - ANGRY. Indeed, in the summer of 2003, a Lockheed employee in Mississippi exited a forced ethics class -
and came back SHooTing... ... ... ... ... ... x x x .

We have a better approach - an approach that can minimize the danger of suits and shootings - not to mention its maximization of dream attainment for your employees, children, AND ORGANIZATION, OF COURSE! - and not to mention its potential minimization of legal liability for your organization and others - possibly including you - in that negligence lawsuit that will surely come after workplace violence.

("We never thought it could happen here! He seemed like such a nice man.")

We help people feel better about themselves - and when people feel better about themselves,
they don't SHooT... ... ... ... ... ... YOU.

(Merely urging people not to feel angry, in some course, is ludicrous.)

We help people feel better about themselves, and, therefore - surprise, surprise! - others, by providing them

"... The book has made me think differently, and better. I drive along with my girlfriend and I can see, and we discuss, potential 'underbid,' as you termed them, situations and opportunities in different areas and walks of life. l can analyze situations better, and with more confidence. Another thing that struck me was that the book was not some dull textbook. Instead, it was an amazing combination of encouragement and fantastic information and observations about life and achievement. It was not a 'read.' It was an EXPERIENCE. Just as amazing, its impact on me was great and continuing, even as I read more and more. Everywhere I looked, there was something worthwhile to take in. I wish I had experienced this earlier in my life. I wanted to compliment you and say that, in my opinion, you have indeed written the amazing and amazingly missing, until now, American Dream book! Congratulations - and, please, more products!" J. Luce, Piscataway, NJ.

Our Asset Protection Strategies TM module for both indivduals and businesses of all types Asset Protection Strategies - Business And Personal - From The IRS, Departing Spouses, And Others TM (= "So what if you've made a buck! Now try and keep it!") is itself worth the price of admission!

"I cherish that book. I think it's very special. Even the table of contents is incredible! I have thousands of CDs and books around here - but I keep two books under my desk: The Bible and Attaining American Dreams. Both are very special to me..." J. Luce, Piscataway, NJ.

We Do Not Wish To Attempt To Compete With The Bible -
Which No One, Of Course, Could
- But We Are Honored By What Mr. Luce Said.

"I've been a blue collar worker all my life, and I feel I came away enlightened and more knowledgable even from reading the table of contents. The amount of information in the product is phenomenal! I will continue to treasure this. Thank you so very much!" G. Wood, San Jose, CA.

THE BENEFITS TO YOUR ORGANIZATION OF Attaining American Dreams !!!!!! TM A PROPOSAL TO "FACILITATE MAJESTIC TAKE-OFFS AND PROFICIENT LANDINGS AMIDST CHANGE!"™

Incorporate this resource as part of your employee wellness, training, exiting, layoff, termination, retiree, customer gift, attitudinal, productivity, and public relational efforts -- for the benefit of all -- even employee dependents!!!!!!
A resource that empowers and inspires any who want to better their individual life circumstances -- and are willing to leave behind (at least temporarily) those who keep their dreams alive by never doing them... A resource that resoundingly provides "the courage to march through brick walls -- and the knowledge, 'street smarts,' and insights to vault over them in style."™	As usual, however, Mother Nature (= "Survival Of The Fittest") requires that you ACT! in order to BENEFIT!™ In a world in which you've got to be great, different, or first, we strive to be all three!™

Dear Executive/Manager:  

"My company gave me -- as part of my ongoing training -- something that will help my children and me live the rest of our lives -- and feel better about ourselves and others -- and help me in my job, as well."

"That company gave me -- as part of my send-off from the company -- an extraordinary, annually renewable resource that will help me find and evaluate future jobs -- help me recognize and capture entrepreneurial possibilities -- and help shark-proof me, to boot, regarding investments -- even in my later years."

"That company gave me -- a customer -- something better than their sponsoring yet another tennis tournament: they gave me some of the business and life skills training I missed by my not going to Harvard Business School."

Employees who leave or remain are powerful "mini-advertising agencies" -- for good or for ill. Indeed, each disgruntled employee will know over 500 people in the course of his or her life -- and all the advertising expenditure in the world may not overcome the resultant, exponential ill will -- some of it, needless. In truth, it makes no sense whatsoever to allow employees to leave or remain on anything other than the best attitudinal + knowledge terms possible, if an inexpensive, even profitable product makes this possible.

After years of hard work, we have that product (our early clients include Hitachi and the U.S. Air Force, and Houghton Mifflin has characterized it as "really something!") -- a customizable, personalizable product that will benefit your dependents, your executives, and all other employees -- including you. And the elegance and power of our concept grew from an intriguing question we asked: In a country which "yacked" so much about the American Dream -- while doing so little to teach its real world attainment imperatives in its schools -- even business schools,

Why couldn't(!) a "Business/Life Skills TM," "Dream Attainment TM," productivity, violence preventative, exiting, "outplacement replacement," training, employee wellness, anger/behavior management, Asset Preservation Strategies TM, Internet, and customer/retiree/employee gift resource -- tremendously valued by employees (-- and by their companies -- and even by the dependents of all!) -- AT THE SAME TIME BE:

THE SINGLE MOST IMPRESSIVE RESOURCE EVER CREATED ON HOW, SPECIFICALLY, TO GO ABOUT ATTAINING "THE AMERICAN DREAM" (= IDENTIFYING AND CAPTURING OPPORTUNITY, HOWEVER DEFINED, AT HOME AND ABROAD) !!!!!!

= "THE resource we should have been studying in our schools
-- instead of the isosceles triangle!"™

= "A 'Version 100.0 Dream Attainer!' -- not a 'Version 1.0 Herd Processor'"™
that WILL help ALL who come in contact with it -- even CEO's and dependents.

= Thousands of real-world insights and strategies, 1,100+ carefully sequenced,
potentially life-transforming quotations, 2,500+ useful Internet addresses -- + FAR more!

-- EVEN AS IT:(1) Effectively reduces anger, fears, and oscillations in confidence (-- and even lessens -- potentially -- "suits and shootings"),
(2) Eloquently points the way (-- even when business opportunities or jobs are not abundant), and
(3) Elegantly benefits all (-- witness its rousing, motivational, grand finale) !!!!!!

The joint venture proposal?:

That you and we (we do any customization, etc., if you wish):

(1) Encouragingly aid all exiting employees -- and their dependents -- at very low cost (including retirees, terminations, "layoffees," and voluntary departures) -- and end wrongful conventional outplacement -- and

(2) Provide all those who remain an "insight-stimulating," "attitude-improving," "business savvy-increasing" component of your corporate training that they also will value (-- even the most cynical) -- that -- among many other things -- sophisticatedly makes clear the one-to-one relationship between (A) their efforts and creativity, and (B) their, your, and their dependents' futures. (And YOU get the credit for introducing this resource within your organization = low risk executive proaction that is rewarded -- vs. risky executive inaction that Mother Nature eventually unmasks!)

Not by chance, the name of this elegant, entertaining, cleverly motivational, sophisticatedly informing, Harvard MBA/JD-created (plus what was not taught there!), ambitious, savvy, "real world," "How To/Can Do!,"™ "Business/Life Handbook,"™ employee/customer gift, and exiting and training resource [-- "personalizable," "customizable," "tailorable," annually upgraded, customer-oriented, strategy-oriented, and presenting a host of business / financial / analytical / marketing / personal / self-improvement / Internet / ETC.(!) strategies] -- is:

Attaining American Dreams !!!!!! TM.

Not by chance, the Website for this resource is at: http://www.americandreams.com/americandreams/.

Not by chance, you and your dependents will benefit because of a risk we took in conceptualizing and creating this resource -- in a world in which proaction talks and inaction walks.

AS AN EXITING / PUBLIC RELATIONAL / HR / BENEFITS CHOICE RESOURCE THAT WILL PAY DIVIDENDS
You want to do your best for those who will be leaving your employ -- for both your benefit and theirs. You want them to land on their feet and to remember their time with you in the best light possible, whatever the circumstances of their departure. You want to reduce their anger, both for their own good and to minimize your chances of corporate "suits and shootings." You recognize that their leaving may constitute a very unsettling, traumatic, and anger-inducing time in their lives, and that these people will need cleverly motivational and sophisticatedly informing, "self-help-encouraging" help (= they must learn to attractively be their own heroes). Traditional outplacement services (= wrongful conventional outplacement) can DEVASTATE the very people intended to be helped -- please see our 22 REASONS WHY "WRONGFUL CONVENTIONAL OUTPLACEMENT" CAN POWERFULLY HARM THE VERY PEOPLE YOU WANT TO HELP -- AND AT HIGH COST, TO BOOT!, at

http://www.americandreams.com/americandreams/brochure.html#22REASONS (ONE VISITOR TO THIS SITE TRAGICALLY FAILED TO CLICK ON THIS LINK TO OUR BROCHURE!).

Our truly empowering, "self-help-encouraging," "outplacement replacement" (or supplementing) resource provides this help -- at perhaps 3+% of the cost of traditional outplacement -- allowing you -- for your company's and their benefit -- to provide our resource to all who exit (-- even retirees -- for "thank you," retirement investment "sharkproofing," and -- yes, admittedly -- public relational purposes). Even give your "layoffees" and terminations a further BENEFITS CHOICE between (1) "wrongful conventional outplacement" (see our 22 REASONS!) and (2) our BETTER resource -- plus, if you so choose, a portion of your corporate cash savings from their choosing our better, and less expensive, alternative -- at a time in their lives when extra cash, a reduction in fear, and well-founded, attractive self-confidence are what they need, and will appreciate, most -- not depersonalizing, "moo cow," herd processing -- which should have ended with World War II (-- remember some times when you left an organization?!)!

AS A TRAINING RESOURCE THAT WILL INCREASE BOTH PRODUCTIVITY AND CREATIVITY
Employees are the Achilles' heel of all your efforts -- and of even your own future. You want productivity enhancement from your training modules -- not eye-rollings, guffaws, and lack of employee "buy-in." You also want modules that your employees will also value -- to your benefit. Given the importance of both knowledge and attitude, Why couldn't(!) an exceptionally encouraging, non-hokey resource powerfully augment your training efforts -- (1) By sophisticatedly instilling the importance of attitude, (2) By entertainingly providing hard-core business knowledge in such key areas as marketing, planning, financial analysis (-- with and even without(!) the use of numbers), business strategy, why organizations really become dysfunctional and what can be done about it, INTERNET STRATEGIC MARKETING™, INTERNET LEAD GENERATION™, etc. (-- deficiencies even accomplished managers may not wish to admit -- or even know -- they lack!), and (3) By insightfully allowing employees to better see how their own efforts "fit in," vis-a-vis the efforts of others -- and as determinants of their own futures and fates!

AS AN EMPLOYEE WELLNESS, CUSTOMER GIFT, AND INTERNET TRAINING RESOURCE
Appreciated employees and customers increase YOUR net worth -- and, on this point, we need not say more.

In sum, our goal is to help management help employees help themselves help each other and actual/prospective customers -- to help ALL -- from employee dependents to CEO's! (Whew! We got through that sentence!)

In short, we have a "better mouse trap" -- and the price is right (-- it is negative, given what all of us can achieve through this "customizable" resource)!

And yes we will provide rousing, informative presentations at corporate events (as we have before Hitachi executives, the U.S. Air Force, etc.) -- but that is what this resource already does!

Take action (!) to discuss and arrange mutual benefit!

Thank you very much!

With best wishes!,
