Thanks To Our Veterans!

Today is Veteran's Day and we at The Chad Carden Group want to take this time to say ”thank you” and “salute” our Veterans. While you may agree or disagree with our Countries policies, it is time to stop and say thank you to those who have given their lives and to those who are standing watch over our country today. We live in the greatest country in the world and it is made possible by those who ask no questions nor judge, but serve so that we are able to be free. We say thank you to their families who sacrifice so much and with little fan fare and allow their father’s, mothers, son’s, and daughter’s to serve this great country and ask little in return. My dad, who is a Veteran, as he travels around the world always, seeks out these people in airports or wherever he sees anyone in uniform and shakes their hands and thanks them for serving. Take some time when you see anyone in uniform and let them know that you appreciate what they are doing to keep America free. It is because of what they do that we are able to prosper and have the choices that we have today. God bless America and Her Veteran’s and Let’s Continue To Talk About Success!

"FUNDAMISMS"

The Chad Carden Group is busy this year expanding our offerings. We continue to team up with The Next Level to work with clients such as ATT and UBS Financial Services. We are teaming up with One Life (L1FE) and working together to create "Fundamisms". What are "Fundamisms"? "Fundamisms" are different concepts we can do everyday to live a more fulfilled life, and have a lot more fun. Stay tuned to figure out what they are and how they can change your life.

We also continue to look at more and more keynote events and we are launching a brand new arm of CCG. Chad's book P.E.P.P. is in editing right now, and should be released by the end of July or first of August. Our goal was to make sure the book was ready to go by summer, and we believe we are going to hit our deadline. Be on the lookout for the exact launch date. Lastly Chad is working on his third book titled "Half The World's On Acid". This book should be released by January 2011.

In September we plan on being part of The Life is good Festival in Massachusetts. This is a festival that helps create an atmosphere that spreads the power of optimism to all ages and all proceeds go to the Life is good Kids Foundation. The Foundation uses the power of play to heal and strengthen at risk children whose lives have been deeply impacted by physical violence, illness and extreme poverty.

We hope your year is going great! Keep in mind the only person who can control your attitude is you! We continue to challenge everyone out there to stop looking at where they are today, and start focusing on what they can do to move in a direction that will help them reach their goals!

Thanks for visiting our site!

Keynote Events

More and more companies are inquiring about Chad's availability to deliver keynote addresses at their conventions, meetings, and events. CCG is working hard to get more and more promotional videos and materials for these companies so they can make an educated decision to work with Chad and take advantage of his ability to deliver a strong message and connect with his audience. Chad has always delivered keynote addresses, but that has only been a small part of CCG up to this point. Moving forward CCG will aggressively pursue more and more keynote events for companies and organizations that are looking to WOW their people. As you can see we have added a few videos to the site and continue to work with more and more footage to add more videos to show Chad in action. For a free copy of a promotional video of Chad or more material about Chad and CCG please contact us!

Also if you know anyone looking for someone to speak to their group, please let us know and we will be happy to pursue any avenue where we can help companies and individuals succeed.

We hope Q1 of 2010 was a great 3 months and wish you the best of luck with the rest of the year!

An Inch Or A Mile.....Move Forward

A lot of times we get caught up in the "rocking chair" mode, that is where we are busy, but not always productive! A rocking chair has a lot of movement back and forth but never moves forward. Challenge yourself today to move forward, if its an inch or a mile, that doesn't matter as long as you are moving forward in a direction that is going to give you a better career, relationship, financial situation, etc......

Also when you begin to move forward in the right direction for you, don't let your mind play tricks on you. Sometimes we trick ourselves into believing that "this is too good to be true", and think that something "bad" has to be right around the corner. What we find is that once the train gains momentum, it's hard to stop, and having a positive outlook that more great things are to come, can help build that momentum!

2010 is off to an amazing start for CCG, and we expect it to get only better! We truly wish you the best of luck moving forward and remember if there is anything we can do to help please contact us!

Thanks for reading!

P.E.P.P. Preview

Below is a preview from Chad's upcoming book P.E.P.P. (Preparation, Execution, Persistence, and Patience). Be on the lookout for P.E.P.P. in the next 3-4 months! Any questions please contact us!

With anything we do in life ACTION is required to move forward. We can have the best plan in the world, set realistic goals, and put everything on paper, but without ACTION all of it is useless. I believe a lot of people get caught up in the "rocking chair" syndrome. That is where they are busy, but not doing the things that move them forward. A rocking chair moves but never forward. Here is the challenge. Ask yourself, "What ACTION can I take that will move me forward?" Even if you only move an inch, that is better than standing still. Also ask yourself, "What ACTION do I need to get rid of, so I can move forward?"Get out of your "rocking chair" syndrome and start moving in the right direction of your dreams and goals.Have you ever procrastinated? I know that I have. Do you have an idea for a business? Do you want to do something for your sweetheart? Your family? Yourself? I think everyone reading this right now has an idea that can make their life or the life of others better either spiritually, physically, financially, mentally, or emotionally, and now the key is to take action! Sarah and I are in the middle of making a lot of decisions both personally and professionally and the key is action. My parents once told me that when you have an idea, DO SOMETHING to make it come true. You might do something wrong, you might have to start over, but action creates progress. Either you gain momentum from your actions or you learn from them on what to do and what not to do. Momentum is key to watching an idea come to fruition. I am learning along the way, but everyday I am gaining momentum which creates excitement and more importantly results. If you want to start a business, go back to school, make a relationship stronger, I say start NOW! Some might say, “but it will take “years” before I see results” my answer is this, “yes it might, however where will you be in “years” if you don’t act?” One thing is for certain is that time will not stop. So in 2-5 years from now will your life be different? Or will it be the same and you keep looking back saying those famous words, “I wish I would have”?Also many times people won’t take action for two major reasons FOF, and FOP. FOF is the fear of failure and FOP is the fear of people. Why are we continuing to conform to a society that gives us a 90% chance of being dead or broke at the age of 65? I am not trying to scare you or make you mad, I am just trying to make you think! You don’t have to take it from me, if you will follow 100 people at the age of 65 you will find that 25% of them will be dead. Of the people that live to be 65 here is the rough breakdown:-40% have to rely on relatives to survive-30% will rely on welfare and social security to make it-20% will still be working. I am sure that not one of the 90% said I can’t wait to turn 65 so I can end up in one of these buckets. Why then do so many end up this way? Real simple they didn’t take action and they conformed to a society that says, “don’t take risks, you can’t do it, just get a good job and try to save a little money for retirement.” Here is what I say, “Life is too short, take action and take it NOW!”

Challenge Yourself!

Challenging ourselves can be tough! We get caught up in our day to day duties and sometimes we forget why are are doing these things on a daily basis!I want you to think about, and write down, all the things you want to accomplish in the next 18 months, both personally and professionally.

The great thing about success is that everyone defines it a little differently. One thing that I am sure of is that my definition of success won't motivate you to do anything, and vice-versa your definition will probably not motivate me. We all have to come up with our own definition. When I say think about and write it down, what I mean is get specific. To say, “I want to make more money” isn't good enough. Write down why you want to make more money. Some people want more money to save it, others to spend it. Some want to be able to give it to their children, families, or charities, and yet others think it will make them more important. Having a vision of what you want to accomplish is more than just money. There are many different areas to think about. Family, career, your finances, your health, your relationships with your friends, your social life, etc….the list can go on and on, but the key here is to let your imagination run.

Don’t get caught in your box.I have to believe that all of us sometimes don’t think big enough. I think big, and that has allowed me things in life that others might not have the chance to experience, yet I was very humbled after I read a story on about Steve Wynn. Steve Wynn built the first “Mega” Casino in Las Vegas Nevada (The Mirage, which is now owned by MGM). When Steve built it he had a construction loan, and his goal was to pay off the loan in seven years. When he went to his accountants and all of his financial team, he asked them what it was going to take to pay off the loan in his seven year time frame. After they did the math they told him that he would have to profit $1 million dollars a day, 365 days a year, for the next seven years. If that happened he would be free of his loan in seven years. $1 million dollars a day profit, after he paid all his staff, and all his bills he would need to have $1 million dollars left each day, every day for the next seven years. Wow! To me that seemed impossible, but to Steve it wasn’t. Steve set his vision, to pay the loan off in seven years, and then he shared with everyone on his team. They put a game plan together, and began to execute. Well Mr. Wynn didn’t pay off his loan in seven years; he did it in 18 MONTHS!!!! A year and a half is all it took for him to pay it off, which means he probably profited 4,5,6,7,8 millions dollars a day, every day!! The best part about it is that after 18 months, all that profit went to him!Now I am not saying that all of us are going to profit $1 million dollars a day, but I would say that the story is a good reminder for all of us to think bigger than what we do. As Steve said, “Doubts don’t build empires…..Imagination does.”So let your imagination run as you set your vision and goals.

Stretch you mind, spirit, and body and you just might be amazed at the results.We have a mission in 2010! That is for the next 18 months to “stretch” our thinking, and we encourage you to do the same!

We have accomplished and continue accomplishing amazing things inside CCG, and those accomplishments are only going to get bigger and bigger, and help more and more people set themselves up for success. We are looking forward to the next 18 months and plan to grow even more in the next 18 months than we have in the past 10 years. We encourage you to get out there too, and make great things happen in 2010!

Good Luck in 2010!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year from The Chad Carden Group! What happens every new year? Most people reflect back on the year past, and make "new year resolutions" for the future. We believe this is a time to start fresh. People say all the time "I don't set new year resolutions because I never stick to them". We say make this year be different! Actually set a few "resolutions" or whatever you want to call them, that you truly need to accomplish. There are five areas of life that we can all work on: Spiritual, Physical, Financial, Mental, and Emotional. Pick one, two, or all five and think about where you want to or need to grow this year. Set some benchmarks, and take action. Progress is a funny thing, once you begin to see it motivation increases which cause more progress.

The goal of 2010 is to keep moving forward. Get out of your rut, and move in a direction that is right for you! If you move an inch or a mile, that is not relevant at this time. What is relevant is that you move forward, in a predetermined direction, that will help you grow in your life!

Please check out our schedule and if we are going to be close to you please let us know! We would love to meet with anyone looking to grow personally or professionally!

Also Chad will be finishing his book "P.E.P.P" in the first half of 2010. Be on the lookout for this amazing book on how to get what you want in life!

Happy New Year!
