Most Recent ScholarshipTV Q&A Session & Links
Lead-in video to Friday’s live training, as promised: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaEkoE3Q5ok
We taught about Consistency & Discipline. It’s based on an article by a musician name JQ! It can change your life, IF you apply the teachings. The livevideo of our call only showed my face, so immediately below is the actual pre-recorded training I showed while I was there and answered live questions. I’ll also post the portions of the live session at the bottom of this email that I feel need to be added to hopefully inspire teens and parents alike! Be blessed!
You can click the following link to see the article as you watch the “Pre-recorded Consistency & Discipline training” in the video below:

The next video below is my live opening followed by me trouble shooting from the 6:00 min point until 7:40. Ignore that portion and listen until the 9:29 portion of the video below. I then play the 15-min video above for the rest of the video (looking at my big ugly face 😂) with additional training by me at the following points:
Interjection by me through the 6:00 min point (Opening)
(Don’t listen from 6:00 thru 7:40 min)
Interjection by me between 7:40 until 9:29 min (Opening)
Interjection by me between 16:18 until 20:50 min (build new habits, track your progress, measure your efforts, focus, map out habits, !!!)
Interjection by me between 23:50 until 25:50 min (Use Motivators and Stressors!!!)
Interjection by me between 31:22 thru 34:47 (closing remarks)
The teachable interjections in the video below above are extremely valuable, so listen to them along with watching the “Pre-recorded Consistency & Discipline training” above! I’m sorry that the screen wasn’t being recorded, but I think you get what I’m trying to do.

How to tell when a scholarship is a scam? I found an article online and decided to share the key parts with you.
LEGITIMATE SCHOLARSHIPS:
- Require essays or at least a few short-answer responses
- Require additional support such as transcripts, SAT/ACT scores and recommendation letters
- Most have minimum G.P.A requirements – though there are some exceptions to this
- Are rewarded once or twice per year
SCHOLARSHIPS THAT ARE MOST LIKELY A SCAM:
- One 100 characters or less for your ‘essay’
- Commonly use the term ‘sweepstakes’, ‘drawing’, or ‘random selection’
- Have zero requirements aside from entering your basic information
- Ask for your social security number (FAFSA [a government site] is the only legitimate site that should ask for this)
- Are rewarded weekly or monthly

5 Steps of Goal-Setting (Scholarship Edition)
∙Decide what you want
∙Decide what you are willing to do to get what you want
∙Decide what you are willing to give up to get what you want
∙Develop a plan
∙Work that plan
You will become what you focus on!
1. Decide What You Want
- 3-min survey (https://www.yourfreecareertest.com/)
- Choose your major (https://www.bls.gov/ooh/occupation-finder.htm)
- Do things to prepare you for your major (you tell me???)
- Middle School
- High School
- College
What ever you are thinking WILL impact your scholarship & college success
2. Decide What You Willing To Do To Get It
- Apply for scholarships weekly/monthly (What’s your number?) – Spreadsheet
- Learn about college(s), take tours, then apply (https://campustours.com/)
- Get help to review your essays
- Parents/Family/Friend
- Church Education Committee
- School (https://www.kent.edu/stark/tutoring-options), (https://www.alamo.edu/sac/about-sac/college-offices/writing-center/)
- Become a student of the FAFSA ($20-$80k) – (video snippet 26:50– 32:00)
Whatever you tune into you will turn into
3. Decide what you are willing to give up to get what you want
– Youth group, Sports, Extracurricular activities
– Goal-based socialization
– Use a calendar (things you write down get done!)
Whatever entertains you trains you!
4. Develop a Plan
– How many scholarships weekly, use spreadsheet, then apply for xx monthly
- Databases
- Websites
- Spreadsheets
- Research, institutional scholarships, deadlines, etc.
– Dragon app, Grammarly, Scholly App, college writing centers, etc. for essay help
– Research FAFSA rules, meaning of EFC, Public vs Private, CSS Profile, etc. (FAFSA Tips)
5. Work That Plan
– Just do it (Instead of me, use your parents or an accountability partner)
– Focus on the process and not the results (like planting tomatoes – Trey)
– Make sure someone is checking your work (essays, applications, etc.)
– Letters of recommendation (Write if necessary, variety, etc.)
Focus on getting into college and graduating college debt-free
