If you answered YES to any of the above questions welcome to the club. It is easy to experience life as happening to us.
We either live by default, or by design, by chance, or by choice. It takes skill and practice to embrace life from a place of personal power, freedom and creativity.
Join me, Leslie Karen Sann, beginning Wednesday, March 3, 2010, and learn a foolproof Recipe for Living by Design so you can claim your vision, create a plan and move into action. In other words, live by design.
Everything You Need to Know to
Engineer a Life of Your Own Design
The basic recipe for Living by Design is simple. But not easy.
Why is that?
Inertia. Inertia is a term describing the fact that an object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force. Inertia is why we feel stuck, unable to take action on what we say we want.
Most of us have fallen into the comfort zone of the familiar, unable to move towards what we want. After awhile it becomes habitual to experience life as if it is happening to us, rather than living from a place of personal power and creativity.
Why else isn’t Living by Design easy?
Ignorance.
Ignorance is not stupidity. Ignorance is a lack of knowledge or information. Many people just don’t know how to go about living by design.
Also, we lack support. We tend to think we need to manage things on our own. Attempting to do everything alone undermines our productivity and well-being.
Choosing to participate in classes, asking for coaching, reading books are ways to engage in learning and growing utilizing support.
How Does the Living by Design
Course Work?
An object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force. Your commitment to learning the tools, technology, skills, and techniques offered in this class will become that outside force to get you moving in the direction you want to go.
It's just like a spaceship circling around the earth. It needs a booster rocket for extra energy so that it can break out of the gravitational force field of the earth. We need booster rockets to get us out of the gravitational force field of our habits and patterns.
This course is that booster rocket. Let it rocket you in moving towards your dreams and goals.
“I feel momentum the more actions I take. Even small stuff like
making phone calls and throwing away a piece of junk mail. Taking
one little step can be so inspiring, exciting and motivating.”

“As a result of this course I am currently designing my brochure and
breaking down my plan into doable actions. My mantras are:
“Perfection Stinks, Action Rules!” and “80% is good enough.” I could tweak this brochure for years before I decided it was good enough to put out into the world. But I want to move, move, move!”
Doug Ringwald
Digital Imaging Manager and Musician
Albert Einstein once said:
“The definition of insanity
is doing the same thing over and over again,
expecting a different result.”
How true. Unless you do something different you will continue to produce the same result.
The Learning to Live by Design course will teach you skills and strategies so you can create what you really want. Using a series of fun, engaging, intriguing, enlightening exercises and techniques you will become energized and motivated to do what it takes to succeed.
I will show you PRACTICAL, proven tools you can immediately apply to improve ANY area of your life.
Now, I'm not going to say all your problems will vanish in a five weeks. That wouldn't necessarily be true. But this is for sure, if you diligently follow the simple steps in my Recipe for Living by Design, you will experience a radical POSITIVE change in your life.
It all depends on how committed you are to the process. If you want rapid results, be prepared to give 100% focus. Because the payoff is huge. At the end, you'll have a new sense of purpose and direction.
You will:
-
Gain CLARITY and discover what you TRULY WANT
-
Learn to be a CREATIVE POWER in your life
-
Turn your stagnation into ACTION
-
OVERCOME obstacles
-
Set goals that are ATTAINABLE
-
Create a plan of action that WORKS
-
MOTIVATE yourself and DO IT
-
Gain SUPPORT from others and yourself
-
GROW little successes into BIG ONES
-
Have FUN and ENJOY LIFE in the process
You’ll be invited to work with a project you want to get going as personal material for the class. If you do not have one, I will help you choose something to work with so you can apply the tools you are learning to something real in your life.

“Leslie, you have an amazing sense
of humor, great insight as far as
how the mind works, how we trick
ourselves, talk to ourselves, talk
ourselves out of things, etc. You
share yourself personally and that
encourages others to share.
In terms of the class you are very

conference call I felt as if Leslie were
talking to me individually.”
Sheldon Zeiger

DISCUSSION BOARD: There is a discussion board so you can post wins, ask for support, and receive input from your classmates and from me.
“I don’t feel alone in my desire to
change and the ways I have kept

really made me feel connected and
inspired. I have put my goals out to the group and I know that there is energetic support in that.”

Get Results
Do more than talk about your dreams, your desires, and your goals.
Take action and get results:
“I didn’t have any movement
towards my goal and was feeling
muddled. The Living by Design
Course helped me create clear goals
and an action plan and as a result I
am in motion.
I learned to ask for help, to chunk my goals down
into doable pieces, learning to appreciate myself and
all the action I take in support of myself.
Great content. Very comprehensive. Terrific
workbook. Wonderfully organized.
The course put me more at ease with my goals and
helped me move past my fears and into action. And,
I loved the support of the group.
Susie Collins

mistakes and use them for
learning. I am now engaged in
working on the meat and potatoes of achieving my goals. I feel more in control of my life and of my focus.
Leslie, your kindness, patience and personal sharing have inspired me.”
Lynda Otte
Entrepreneur
“I realized how vague my goals
have been and realized why
nothing was ever getting crossed
off my to-do list. I now find
myself breaking goals down into
doable chunks and taking
concrete action. I learned how to
be more active in my own life, and focus on the
positive thus producing effect results. I am
amazed at the new me!”

Your Life is Just Around the Corner . . .
By now you must be wondering how much is this going to cost? In reality this is an INVESTMENT in your life. Because if you don’t know where you are going, any road will do, and you probably won’t get there.
Five weeks, 90 minute information packed sessions, a workbook, discussion group, access to me during the week, F*R*E*E* special report, and the calls are available to be heard again during the week, all for just $227.
“I loved the LIVE calls. I felt
connected to the group and engaged.
I found over time I began to feel part
of something bigger. The group
support was terrific.”
Therese Townsend,
Senior Flight Attendant
“I can’t tell you how much I benefited
from and enjoyed this living by design
tele-course. For me it was a very
effective teaching/learning tool.
The course was very cost effective and
perhaps you should increase the price. It waved
me six months of private consultations. The time
and expense it would have taken for me to learn the
material through individual sessions would have
been extensive.
There is no question that the material is valuable
beyond the price asked.”

An Alternative to the Live Calls
Though most people enjoyed the interactive nature of the LIVE calls, there were some who are unable to participate at the scheduled time. So I have set it up so there is a way for you to participate.
Each class will be recorded and the audio will be available for one week after the class has taken place. If you want, you can join us as an AUDIO ACCESS ONLY participant.
For $177 you will receive the workbook, ability to hear the audio recordings, membership in the discussion group, and access to me via the discussion group for individual attention and support during the five weeks.
“I enjoyed the convenience of the
AUDIO ONLY class. I was able to
listen to the calls on my own schedule
and participate on the board if I felt
like it.”

You have nothing to lose. When you come and play with me I want you to leave a happy camper. So when you participate in each module, ask me for assistance, and practice the skills I will be teaching you, but you're still not happy with the quality of education, simply let me know before the final class, and I'll refund your tuition.
$227 is a great value for the information and tools you will be acquiring and putting into action. Skills that will take care of you for years to come. Knowledge you can share to help others as well.
“Since this was the first time I had participated in a
tele-course I felt a lot more comfortable knowing
that if I didn’t like the experience I could get my
money refunded.
That said, I was delighted at how useful the
experience was for me. Out of the many things I
learned, turning negative thoughts and feelings into
positive action was one of the most powerful. I now
feel more engaged in my life.”

Answers to Most Frequently
Asked Questions:
Q: What is the Living by Design Tele-Course?
A: It's a virtual event, designed to support you in learning the skills and tools to assist you in living a life of your own design. You’ll be in a virtual classroom led by me, Leslie Karen Sann, for five consecutive Wednesdays, beginning March 3, 2010 all from the convenience of your living room or home office. All you need is your telephone. It’s that simple.
Q: Why do I need to Learn to Live by Design?
A: Because an object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force. This course is that outside force. Your commitment to learning the tools, technology, skills, and techniques offered in this class, and your full participation , will become the outside force to GET YOU MOVING in the direction you want to go.
It's just like a spaceship circling around the earth. It needs a booster rocket for extra energy so that it can break out of the gravitational force field of the earth. This course is that booster rocket.
Living by design is way more fun than the alternative.
Q: When will The Living by Design Tele-Course take place?
A: It takes place at 8:30 p.m. in New York, 7:30 p.m. in Chicago, 6:30 p.m. in Denver, and 5:30 p.m. in San Francisco.
Q: What is the tuition cost?
A: To be part of the Living by Design Class the cost is $227. As a live participant you have the ability to engage with other participants and receive expert guidance and support from me. You also receive a free workbook, access to the recorded archive of the class, as well as membership in a group discussion board.
Considering this course is a distillation of over 30 years of education, training, and personal and professional practice, PLUS tens of thousands of dollars invested in learning, the price of $227 is more than reasonable.
Q: Will I be able to ask questions during the calls?
A: If you enroll for the LIVE Living by Design Class you will be able to interact not only with me but with the other participants as well. You will also be able to ask for assistance if you are stuck and receive my expert facilitation and guidance during the call.
If you have enrolled in audio access only, you can ask me questions via the discussion board and I will respond to you in that forum.
Q: Tell me more about the group discussion board.
A: There will be e-mails posted during the week from me to support the work you are doing on your project. Participants will be able to post their goals, share learnings and insights, and ask for support. The board is a way to engage as a supportive community. It can become a powerful tool for learning, inspiration and action.
Q: Once I register, how can I get the most out of the class?
A: The first step to get what you want is to know what you want. I suggest you set a clear intention about what you want to get out of participating in the class. Ideally you will come to the first call with a goal you would like to work on throughout the five weeks of the class. You will learn more and faster if you can apply what you are learning to something real and active in your life.
“ I was gratefully surprised I made
movement on many of my goals even
though I had only committed to one area
for the five-weeks.
The main value I received was learning how to break
things down into smaller digestible pieces and
possibilities. I realized the experience of my life
comes down to moments. Acknowledging myself for
the little things has helped me keep going and keeps
my momentum up and assisted me in maintaining a
positive focus.”

“I am experiencing myself as an active participant rather than a bystander of my life. I feel empowered
and on course. Thank you!”
Blossom Gluck, Grandmother, Mother, Wife, Community Volunteer
“I previously thought that tackling
a goal meant putting my nose to
the grindstone and working really
hard to make it happen. Through
the Living by Design Course I
learned to be gentle and easy with
myself. When I did that I found I
could really do what you taught us - which is that we
cannot transform what we do not embrace.
I began to deal with my goals with more kindness
and I found myself taking action that was easy and
fun- the totally opposite of what I thought - that it
would be hard and I’d have to push myself.
Even though I was focusing on just one goal, I found
there were major shifts in my relationship with my
daughter, my husband, my home environment, with
my work. Things got better because I was willing to
pay attention and I was easily able to implement
action.
Whenever I work with Leslie I make tremendous
strides forward. Leslie is amazingly competent and
kind. She helps me see things I didn’t see. I feel so
much more powerful and creative whenever I leave a
call or a session. And let me tell you, I take a lot of
classes and Leslie’s classes are so much more
outstanding than anything I have taken.
She is clear and inclusive. The content is thorough.
The invitation to participate is gentle. I can’t say enough about how much I learned in just five weeks, and how my life is different in just five weeks.
I would absolutely recommend this course to
anyone.

I’m living the dream now! I’m going to Turkey - which if you recall is part of my vision - to travel the world!
And . . . the sale of the business will be finalized in just a few weeks!
Thanks for all your help. "
