Hot off the press

Here are some of our clients, our customers, and other folks we've been helping out recently:

Have you ever walked down the streets of Anywhere, USA? Have you ever looked into the eyes of your coworkers and really seen behind the mask? Have you ever looked into the eyes of someone struggling to live paycheck to paycheck? Have you ever heard the remarks from people longing for the work day to be over? Have you ever been one of these people? I know I have.  

Path Choices is dedicated to the vacant stares from people who have been totally discouraged or disheartened by their work. To those who want to grab hold of their destiny and never let go. To those who want to spread their wings and take off. People who want to discover--or rediscover--the fire that burns within. To sum it up, Path Choices is dedicated to those who are restless in their career path and searching for something more.   

Sound ambitious? We are! To run this mission, we have ten commandments we pursue:  

1. We shall learn from all of our successes and failures.  

2. We shall be humble and give praise, thanks, and recognition freely to those who help us or are in alignment with our purpose and direction. In saying thanks, we will name the individual, the company they work for, and what specifically they did that we liked.  

3. We shall always tell the truth, even if it’s embarrassing and uncomfortable.

4. We shall treat everyone with dignity.  

5. We shall give specific tools and processes, in addition to conceptual ideals.

6. We shall make everything we sell a great return on the investment for people who buy our products. Product prices will be affordable to someone living paycheck to paycheck.  

7. We shall never forget what is behind the mask.  

8. We shall not get into politics or making judgments about political views or actions.  

9. We shall never borrow money.  

10. We shall provide the best programs in the world.
