Graduation Secrets - the only book that guarantees overall success for high school students going to college and college students preparing for the workforce.

At Last: Why the Smartest Students in the World -- Will Fail Miserably -- Without a Proven Strategy in Place


Letter from the Author, Dave Lloyd
 

To: Sincere, Earnest, Intelligent College Students Frustrated with Hard Work that Results in Average Grades, Poor Love Life and Relationships, and Unclear Career Direction and Job Prospects

Subject: How 18-24 Year Olds Can Succeed in Class, Work, Life, and Love

As the author, I can honestly say this is the only book that guarantees success for high school students as they go to college or college students as they enter the workforce - or you get all your money back.

 


Dear Student,

We’ve never met, but I know a few things about you.  Whether you're a recent high school graduate, in college and on summer break, or are facing this fierce job market as a college graduate:

  1. You’re ready to embark on the most exciting years of your life.
  2. You would love to know how to put forth the least amount of effort and still be recognized for your abilities, consistently.
  3. If someone told you about a plan for getting more of what you want in life and less of what you don’t, you’d want to know more about it.

How do I know these things about you?  This comes from years of experience working with thousands of high school and college students.  Adults too.  All kinds of people.  And everyone of them was looking for answers to the questions they ask on a daily basis.

 

Have you ever wondered ...

why great students are so different from others?  

It could be because they work harder or are naturally smarter.  Maybe they know how to motivate themselves or have figured out exactly what to study.  Or they're just the "nerds" who will always do well no matter what.

The real reason some students know how to do well consistently in school?

Because, for the privilege of fulfilling their own potential, they have learned the principles of classroom success.  This, in and of itself, is extraordinary because it means these principles actually exist and they've taken the time to discover them.  But what's even more amazing is that these same techniques work repeatedly so students consequently believe what they are truly capable of in all areas of life - and this phenomenon prepares them for unprecedented success as they get into the real world!

You may think there are no secrets to being successful.  But at each stage of life, we uncover more things we have yet to learn.  Here are the secrets that most young people don’t know about yet.

These are easy-to-learn strategies you can use to improve dramatically in your personal life, in school, in relationships, and in your immediate and long-term career.

Even if you haven’t succeeded wildly yet, as long as you’ve been somewhat successful in any other way, you can do very well in college or the real world.

Of course, if you have done well in school up until now, then doing well in college and your career will be much, much easier!

Imagine how your life would be if you understood these concepts!  In just a moment, I am going to tell you how to do just that.

But first, consider these facts:*

College graduates earn 90% more income, over a lifetime, than those who just complete high school.

Yet:

1 in 4 freshman do not continue as sophomores at the same school.

Half of 4-year college entrants leave their school without a degree.

7 of 10 of Americans dislike their job.

Why is this -- when there are parents, educators, counselors, and employers available to help?

Why are more students not staying in school when the financial benefits alone are obvious? 

Why are more not finding careers they enjoy?

Click here to order now and find out.

Or if you’ll stick with me for a bit, I will tell you the reasons…and give you the chance to overcome those miserable odds.  And learn how to get the most out of every area of life.

 

How about job-seeking college graduates?

Have you ever wondered how certain students are able to influence companies to hire them even when the majority of their peers are still looking for work?  Perhaps even you know a few who are working, for good pay, in the field they majored in.

Do you know why?  Hint: It's not because they post their resume to every job board available, send hundreds of emails, make a few phone calls, and then sit back waiting.  There is a calculated yet simple strategy put into motion by job-getters - the minute their minds open to how and why people are hired.  They know it works every time because they understand how companies make hiring decisions.

Wouldn't you want to know what that simple strategy is?

Since you have no idea who I am, you may want to know a bit about me.  I'm 30 years old, married to my college sweetheart, and have a Business degree from U.C. Davis.

Besides all that, I'm an employment recruiter by training, having helped new college grads and mid-level executives get hired at companies I've worked at including Apple, Palm, Handspring, and Hughes Electronics.  I know the employment game inside and out.

I've also worked with high school and college students in many capacities, helping them effectively transition to the next step in their life.  This is in addition to my 12 years of trial and error as a student and employee. 

I’ve recently discovered a process that guarantees success for any college student or recent graduate.  I believe so strongly in the material that I'm committed to putting it within the reach of any student that needs it.

 

"This is the best book on student success I've ever read - it should almost be mandatory reading.  In fact, I wish I had a handbook like it my freshman year!  I have a different perspective from most - I'm halfway through an evening MBA program but I spend my daytime hours helping people find careers they can be passionate about.  As an undergrad, I benefitted greatly from the time I spent as Student Body President so I can personally attest to the value of so much here - how to have good relationships, manage time efficiently, develop your strengths, and do what you really love.  

I particularly like the organization of ideas and the way you begin chapters with what you will learn and reflective questions to consider.  And the sections on heroes and mentors were right on - truly excellent advice!  This book could be a turning point in the lives of students as they graduate and pursue their dreams."

"Dave, I found the information here so valuable.  While I'm doing a lot of things right, I realize there's a lot about the work world I still need to learn.  This book is very practical and is useful for any current high school or college student.  Oh, and I especially enjoyed the dating and relationship tips - really good stuff."
 

Samantha Montellato

This book rocks!!  I work with hundreds of time-crunched but very capable students in overseeing the largest student spirit organization in the country.  Many of the concepts in this book are what I try to convey to students every day – how to balance their activities with their academics, what work experience in college can prepare them for a great career, and why enthusiasm makes all the difference.  At some point in their lives, every student decides to take responsibility for their choices.  When that time comes, Dave’s book will be an invaluable resource.

If you've already decided to take me up on this risk-free offer, get hold of this "mandatory reading" now for only $17.

You have 90 days to try it out at my risk.  If Graduation Secrets somehow doesn't work for you, just send me an email and you'll receive an immediate refund.

However, if you're not yet convinced, and you'd like to read more about the specific strategies you'll learn, then check out this...

New Approach To Overall College and Career Success

These strategies activate your natural desire to get more of what you want from life.

Imagine for a second you could design your ideal life.

How would it look? 

  • Be popular and well-liked?
  • Have the looks of a movie star?
  • Be getting straight A’s?
  • Have a great relationship with a boyfriend or girlfriend?
  • Have secured a post-graduate or summer job?
  • Be in top physical shape?
  • Or simply feel better about the progress you ARE making?

Most students do not get the things they really want because they don’t have an overall strategy in place.  They don’t consider the vital connection between their personal, interpersonal, and professional success.

Listen –

Imagine if you had a comprehensive plan you could apply to your personal life, in the classroom, in your relationships, in your future career, and in the choices you'll make throughout life.  What if you were clear about the events in college and your early career that could forever alter the course of your life - who, where, when, and what to do.

 

"The ideas here will work for any student, from those just trying out college to those who really want to excel.  I have been teaching for over 35 years at the college level and I wish that this work had been available sooner to recommend to students coping with the realities of college life.  This book will serve students as a guide for academic and career success.  Mr. Lloyd asks the right questions and provides a roadmap for all college students."
 

Jim Steidel, Ph.D.

Professor of History

Cañada College

 

 

"This is the best material I've read in all my years of teaching.  I read a lot of educational material so I was skeptical that these strategies would work with my graduating seniors.  I was truly surprised!  

I must admit, this system is the most powerful, step-by-step guide for student success I have ever read.  I predict it'll become the definitive resource for today's students.  I'm convinced that any high school student, college-bound or not, can't help but improve their opportunity to achieve exactly what they want in life by reading this book."
 

Shawn Wallace

History Teacher

Sonora High School

 

 

"This book is a MUST read for anyone who plans to attend college, as it details what to expect and how to handle situations you WILL encounter.  The job market is fierce, especially for new college graduates, and it's never too early to start preparing. Dave's book gives you the knowledge and tips you need to get your first professional job out of college!"

This is the ultimate student success manual. 

You might call it luck if only one such student had gone on to such great success - but thousands have done it!

I’ll warn you now - some of these ideas will require a total brain twist.  This is hardcore material...and NOT for the faint of heart!  If you really want to learn how to do well in school or your career beyond what you thought was possible then get ready, buckle up, and hold on tight.

The content is focused on the years between 18 and 24.  You will understand how to define success, focus, and take action in all the major areas of your life, whether graduating from high school, in college, or entering the job market.

No one person has all the answers so for perspective, I include 450 quotes from people like Oprah Winfrey, Mark Victor Hansen, Barbara Walters, Mark Twain, Maya Angelou, Bill Gates, Stephen Covey, Billy Graham, William Shakespeare, John Wooden, Eleanor Roosevelt, Albert Einstein, and many others like:

 

"The most important thing in education is to teach young people to think for themselves."

Albert Schweitzer

 

"The things taught in schools and colleges are not an education, but the means of an education."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

area of life - from someone who's done it.

Even though this all sounds terrific...

When you implement these strategies, I want to warn you about one problem: this is no magic formula.  I can’t make all your worries disappear, promise you’ll get a 3.5 GPA in college without much effort, or that a $40,000 job will be yours following graduation.  I don't know your skills, your work ethic, or your academic background.  I can only offer you what I know works most of the time.

The content is so informative that it can hit students like a firehose.  Savvy students sip it up with a straw by referring to this as a go-to guide, not just a one-time read.

How Much Could this Book be Worth to You?

I’m not saying I have all the answers, but I’ve spent a lot of time and money to learn about and apply what I do know.  And I have already been paid handsomely ($100k+ some years) by many organizations to apply this information, none of which I hold back.  Many of the techniques you'll learn in this material are priceless.

If you think about it, a strategy you can use anytime to succeed wildly in school and your career could easily be worth a couple thousand dollars in time or effort.  I figured I would start at the average textbook price, but that would cut out a lot of students who read only required textbooks.

So I decided on $27 - conservatively, about 3% of the value and less than a third of what I charge clients per hour.

However, for a limited time, the distributor, College Success Institute, is offering a graduation-season discount to test prices.  So you can have Graduation Secrets today for only $17.

There's huge demand for this material.  Believe me, the content is so good, it will be worth whatever trouble you have to go through to get hold of it. 

Why am I practically giving away this resource?

I looked for a resource like this throughout college and early in my career.  I never found one.  It took me until now, age 30, to put into writing the exact principles for student and career success that would have saved my friends and I tons of time, energy, and money.  I would have done just about anything to have this material 12 years ago. 

I hate that students don’t have a comprehensive roadmap for how to get ahead in life.  To help you avoid the mistakes hundreds of thousands of high school and college graduates make every year, I decided to step forward and reveal the truths from my own experience and others.

To do this I need to fill the gap in information I’ve noticed in speaking with thousands of students and job candidates.

I’ve been there.

I personally know what it’s like to not know how my studies relate to my career, working for minimum wage, without a clear vision for life, and countless other experiences common to every young person.  I remember the confusion about dating, relationships, and sexuality.  I know the frustration of trying my best on papers and exams and still feeling like I didn’t get the grades I was capable of.  I recall the challenge of feeling over-qualified for entry-level jobs that many other candidates were equally qualified for.

Graduation Secrets is my effort to help students and recent graduates lead better lives.  I'm offering you ideas typically understood in hindsight, not with years left to implement them.  I simply have a burning desire to get this information into the hands of as many students as possible.
