This week, Dan Neumann is joined by an external guest: Seth Maust, President and Founder of Five Star Life, an organization that aims to change perceptions of education, sports, and culture. Seth began 20 years ago researching why so many children were dropping out of school because they did not value education and ultimately did not value themselves. Five Star Life focuses on dismantling this root issue by ingraining a different curriculum they created that guides students in developing successful mindsets.

Key Takeaways

• Five Star Life focuses on attacking the root cause of student dropout.

  • Children are not motivated to continue their studies because they don’t believe in the current education system.

  • A good education teaches students how to think (not what to think).

  • A successful life begins with the right mindset.

• Create new habits.

  • It is a 28-week investment.

  • The Five Star Life system teaches students to think critically.

  • The application of the learned knowledge is fundamental.

• Students learn to handle conflict the right way.

  • Choose your hard! Ignoring conflict is hard, and confronting conflict is too.

• Motivation is the result of vision.

  • What is the first step that you can take to achieve your goal?

  • Focus on taking small, incremental steps.

  • An excellent way to start is to make an image of what you want to achieve and pin it somewhere you can see it daily.

  • First, you must create a vision and then goals, but most of all, you must truly believe it will happen. When you attach emotion to an image, belief is born.

• Everything you are now is the result of subconscious programming.

  • Unless you consciously choose to keep developing, you will remain what you are and you will repeat the same cycles.
