Welcome to The Next Step.

It won't be like anything you've experienced up to this point. That's a good thing.

Let's begin with a story you probably can relate to.

In the movie 'The Matrix', Keanu Reeves plays a character who's living in a world where nothing is the way he wants it to be.

Even the people around him haven't shown that they can be trusted.

For the most part, nothing in his life has gone the way he wanted it to go. However, the situation is about to turn in his favor in the most unexpected, upside down way.

For a glimpse into his life, go to the 'demo' tab above, and let us know what you thought about the clip when you've finished.

Did you choose the red pill?

If 'yes', then you'll find that this isoCourse will be your direct route out of the 'matrix' that may resemble your life now.

If 'no', then this isoCourse may not be a good match for you at this time. Feel free to return to it whenever you like.

Are you ready to take your first step?

As you begin, you must know that getting out of the 'matrix' isn't what you may expect.

It's not just about 'doing better' at school, work or your life, in general.

It's not about making more money or having more things.

It's not really about how people think of you.

No, it's way more than that. To escape the 'matrix', you have to follow a path that's been charted by others like you. It's a pretty narrow escape.

But as Morpheus led Neo, you, too, can be guided step-by-step, day-by-day, week-by-week into the life that you may always have dreamed about but didn't think possible. Through the journey, you'll be led to become the person you're meant to be.

As you do these steps, think about what Morpheus said, "Remember, all I'm doing is offering you the truth and nothing more."

isoBlogs are like a 'Morpheus' in that they offer a navigational approach to help you overcome your biggest challenges.

Are you interested in a Morpheus-type guidance system?

That's what these isoBlogs are going to do . They'll lead you where you want to go. They'll tell you the truth.

isoBlogs? Steps. They're simply steps that guide you to the change you want to make. You're doing an isoBlog right now.

isoBlogs will be there for you whenever you need them and however you need them.

isoBlogs by design will not leave you, forget about you or brush you aside.

Your job is to follow the steps out of the 'matrix' every day of the week, including weekends and holidays. There are no days off when you're escaping the 'Matrix'. Don't get off track for any reason. The guidance system will do the rest.

Now, if you're ready, begin your journey by going to the isoBlog called "A Small Shift. A Glorious Triumph." You'll see it on your day plan.

Continue through the 21 days.

Let's get going!
