Today, Richard & Andrea are living their dream of speaking and
writing, traveling the country, delivering their message to tens of
thousands of people and changing lives with their Go
for No! message. Currently,
they are embarking on a 2 year adventure where they will be adopting a
"portable lifestyle" which means traveling the country with a minimum
amount of "stuff" Courage the Cat, staying a couple weeks to several
months in places they'd like to visit, all keeping Andrea out of snow,
ice, and rain as much as possible.
A
Message from Richard & Andrea…
It is our belief that courage
is the single most important virtue on which everything else in life,
all your results, are built. And we know that when people build their
courage, anything is possible… and with enough courage,
amazing things can happen. It is our mission to share these things with
you!
Now, you might be thinking
that, as the Courage Crafters,
we must be fearless!
In reality, we are just like
you… with the same fears and self-imposed limitations that
hold back so many millions of people. But we have learned to master the
things that must be done to build courage as well as specific and
powerful strategies that can be used to move from fear to
action… to eventually achieve whatever it is you want to
accomplish.
Unfortunately, we do not have
any courage for sale. You can’t just make a call and have it
delivered like a pizza. Because the truth is, no
one can sell or give you courage.
Courage must be developed… crafted,
if you will…
from the inside-out.
But there is good news: All
the courage you could ever want or need to achieve virtually any goal
or dream you have is already
inside you, like a muscle
waiting to be used.
But, like any muscle, your
courage needs to be exercised… developed. And maybe you
might want or need a personal trainer… a
courage-coach… to help you develop those muscles.
That’s how we see ourselves.
How
can we “encourage you” today?
