Truth Dancer Coaching LLC – Scott Tafoya

Mindset as a Native American Entrepreneur

Your dream has power! It can inspire you. It can empower you. But will it become a reality! In this training Dr. Scott Tafoya will help you to actually make your dream come true, using licensed content from Dr. John C. Maxwell and his own story and experiences. Most people fail to realize their potential and their dream because it remains hypothetical. This training titled, Put Your Dream to the Test takes your dream from ethereal to achievable. Scott will show you how to crystallize your vision and galvanize your commitment by instructing you how to answer ‘yes’ to questions like:

– Is my dream really my dream?

– Am I depending on factors in my control to achieve my dream?

– Do I have a strategy to achieve my dream?

– Have I included the people I need to realize my dream?

– Am I willing to pay the price for my dream?

– Does my dream benefit others?

In addition participants learn about promoting their businesses online to build their brands through aggressive social media advertising and word of mouth as they tailor social media posts to fit specific ranges, aiming different posts at different demographics across a variety of platforms.
