I truly believe YOU can develop your own intentional growth plan and taking action NOW! If YOU are serious — Please, learn the seven proven blocks and start NOW!! In addition, to the blocks I have also added some quotes I received this last week to assist in of your intentional growth. WHY? Because every great leader throughout history has had a quote or phrase which was used as a credo or motto.
Here are the seven blocks:
- Start with the end in mind… where do you want to grow?
- Make a commitment to grow.
- Make your commitment known to those that care about your success.
- Identify the areas you want to see developed in 90 days.
- Invest 20 minutes - 1 hour a day in the areas you want to develop or grow.
- Invest 20 minutes - 1 hour a week for reflection and writing down what you are learning.
- Invest in books, audiobooks, magazines, or articles that target your attention of development or growth.
Always remember — every thought you have is derived from an impression of the outside world. When you use the five dimensional areas; SEE, HEAR, SMELL, TOUCH, or TATSE something it INVOKES a thought. In other words, we are being controlled (really we are programmed) by the outside world. What we must start to do is live from the INSIDE OUT. Give control to you, and the outside will then be a reflection of the INSIDE.
These impressions create our THOUGHTS and our THOUGHTS determine how we FEEL. Therefore THINKING and FEELING as a combination is the secret ingredient to IMPRESSING your mind. I truly hope this short blog or message empowers, inspires, or resonates with you today:

Ralph Waldo Emerson put eloquent well: “Every man I meet is my master in some point, and in that I have learned of him.” If you want to learn, if you want to improve your life, seek out a teacher, coach, bibliophile, philosopher, or great books is a great start. Of course, this approach will only be effective if you’re committed, determined, enthusiastic, and ready to let go of opinions you already have. We all have to get to the point in our lives where we work from the inside out.
With gratitude,
Coach Frank Sagasta
Husband, Father, and Educational Leader
