About Us:
Street-Smarts* For Success specializes in taking complex subjects and making them simple -- by teaching the MAIN THINGS you need to know in a way you can understand.
We save you time and money by showing you TIPS and INSIGHTS that take most people YEARS to learn.

The goal is to provide you with the path and the tools you need to become successful in today's society. Some of these include:
The Importance of Having a Vision, Mission and Goals
How to Make a Difference Every Day
Understanding the "27000" Rule
Understanding the "Other 90%" potential
Street-Smart Public Speaking "How to be a Good Speaker"
Street-Smart Money Talk - How to Understand Money in the REAL WORLD
Street-Smart Selling and Closing Skills...How to Be a Better Salesperson
Street-Smart Communication Skills...How to get Ahead by Communicating More Effectively
My goal is not to make you an "expert" in these fields but rather to make you "street-smart" so you may be more successful in both your personal and business life.
Many of these skills are NOT TAUGHT in high schools or colleges and students enter the real world oblivious to the "street-smarts" one must have to succeed. You will walk away from these a different person and much more in tune with the ways our society works.
