I'm so grateful for each of them I have experienced!"

    — Omar C.

    — Geoff S.

I would recommend this program to all who are willing to learn to be their 'authentic' selves!"

    — Terri M.

What you focus on seems real. What you focus on ultimately you become."

    — Heidi B.

I feel confident and ready, and I thank you for showing me I have the ability to grow."

    — Judith N.
  • "What a difference 45 days can make! When I began this challenge I was dealing with another major bout of depression and really doubted this program would do anything for me.

    — Cindy J.

Embrace the journey... you're the driver, enjoy the ride!"

    — Nancy Q.
  • "I did the Healthy Mind and Body session just prior to this and, although similar, this is different and better. I am making progress.

    — Arcot R.
  • "After my first 45 days, I'm astounded at how much I've changed. My fiancé sees it. My friends and family see it.

I know this program will continue the growth path I journeyed on. Such a blessing and such an eye-opening experience."

    — MichelleAngela B.
  • "I am amazed at the change that has come about in my life since I began. I am finding myself using much more positive language in my everyday speech and mentally pulling myself up, even before my thoughts become words. I am a great grandmother days away from my 70th birthday and thought I was too set in my ways to change. Boy, was I wrong. Don't leave it as long as I did to do it."

    — Vivienne G.
  • "I've had 6 months of MASSIVE growth and MASSIVE shifts, and even though these growing moments haven't been easy, they have been powerful.

Change may not be easy, but staying stuck is NOT fun."

While not concrete, I am growing through the push of this program. I've started a Meetup group, made a few friends, launched a business as a tutor, and am acquiring the confidence and skills to grow my business. First, I'm growing a new me, step by step, from the inside-out."

    — Mary G.
  • "When I enrolled in the Life Balance program I knew I'd need to dig deep to make the most of my time and money.

Our team advisor genuinely cares for each team member. I'm so thankful to have found this program!"

    — Annie B.
  • "I am super excited to get the Leadership Challenge rolling. I did Healthy Mind and Body and am proud to say I completed it and really enjoyed the structure it provided as I went through the daily tasks.

    — Trevor M.
  • "This online program by Rod Hairston is unbelievable as far as consistency and keeping you focused on your inner self. The program helped me focus on ME. I grounded my WHY, which is my daughter and her future. It forced me to think, write thoughts down, and apply them into action. Can it get any better?"

    — Christine M.
  • "My life now compared to a year ago is mind-blowing. I went from a depressed, unhappy, uninspired, unhealthy stay-at-home mom of two little boys to being a dynamic, outgoing, loving, giving and GROWING person. I used the principles in these programs to help me GROW, LEARN & LOVE through my experience. What are you waiting for? Sign up!"

    — Katy S.
  • "The leadership call preparing us to lead the Influence month was a life-shifting moment. You changed my story and my state.

    — Joanna C.
  • "Never stop growing, commit to happiness, ask better questions, show up, take action, test beliefs, and most importantly love unconditionally. Many of life's answers are in the journey—enjoy it! Thanks Rod."

    — Vinny D.
  • "I was very positively impacted and motivated by the clear, rational, structured approach Rod described to help implement positive change in one's life. He makes difficult concepts acceptable through narration of his own and others' experiences. It was not difficult at all to decide to take it to the next level and enter a 6-week program. I expect it will push me—that's why I'm here."

    — Laine M.
  • "After finishing Healthy Mind and Body I was directed to Growth-U, and I'm thankful I was. After going through many difficult issues in my life, I was looking for something I could learn and grow with. Now I have the tools to grow and learn new thinking habits as well as new relationships. This is a life changed and will continue to do so."

    — Barbara E.
  • "Growth-U programs came into my life when I needed them the most. I was moving in a downward spiral and needed the push to get spinning in the right direction again. I just finished the Top 50 program and have been moved to a higher understanding that it is not about me—it is about what I can do to serve others. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

    — Kami C.

    — Randy D.
  • "I just had such an impactful six weeks! I thought I had a vision, but I had an idea—and now I have a vision that I believe with my whole being that I will attain. 'Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.' Holy smokes! I love growth, and I realized I was chasing growth that was comfortable. Now I'm growing as much as I'm capable of."

    — Wendy R.
  • "I feel like the woman inside of me has been drowned by fear and uncertainty for many years. With this community of growth, for the first time in my life I'm in the right place with the right people. I have seen so many changes in the last several weeks. I look forward to taking further programs to really continue this growth and to jump in."

    — Kimberly N.
