FAQs

Growth-U is a personal development company designed to help upgrade your human success operating system — your HSOS. Just as you need to regularly update the operating system on your smartphone, updating your HSOS helps you create and enjoy the health, wealth, and happiness you desire. With our powerful online programs, community, and events, we provide step-by-step support and accountability to help you become the person you need to be to master the success you want to have. If you’re ready to transform your health, wealth, and finances, Growth-U will help you take your efforts to the next level by laying a foundation for your vision of success, breaking your old patterns, building new habits, and using your resources to build the new you.

Daily driven programs can be started at any time you choose. Modular programs have specific start dates, and include a weekly live advisor team experience.

The biggest incentive to completing any Growth-U program is what you gain personally through the process. You will develop and reinforce positive habits and gain an awareness of the beliefs, habits, and patterns that are currently preventing you from making the most of the opportunities in your life. You will design the specific new beliefs, habits, and patterns that lead to maximizing your potential. You will learn simple and effective tools to help you harness the power of your internal world as you make your mark on the world around you, and you will learn communication and influence tools, and the psychology behind those tools, to uplevel your life.

Successful completion of a program means you’ve accomplished two aspects required for building new habits: commitment and consistency. First, you’ve completed your daily or weekly program content at least 80% on-time or better starting from the day the program begins to the day it ends (the extended access and grace period does not count for this). Second, you’ve completed 100% of the program content.
For events, successful completion means that you attended and participated in the entire event.
Successful completion makes you eligible for nomination to our Mastery Level programs and Growth Leader Certification. Please submit a support ticket or schedule a Growth Planning Session to learn more.

For daily driven programs, you will spend an average of fifteen to thirty minutes watching short coaching videos and completing tasks that guide you to focus on, write about, and take action toward your goals.

For weekly module-based programs, you may spend on average 45-60 minutes per week watching short coaching videos and completing tasks that guide you to focus on, write about, and take action toward your goals. You may find that you want to spend more time on the material, which is great.

Yes, you can. However, we recommend that you choose one program and complete it before starting another one. Our philosophy is “inch by inch, everything’s a cinch”. We want you to be set up for success by using the power of commitment and focus on creating the habits that will take you consistently further. Each of our programs is designed to do exactly that.

There are certain exceptions to this one-at-a-time recommendation. If you are nominated and accepted into our Growth Mastery or Growth Leader Certification program, it may make sense for you to participate in more than one program at a time. These two programs are designed around a flexible timeline so you can make adjustments as needed. Reach out via support ticket to receive help in deciding your best program choice and path.

Growth-U’s programs are designed for individual participation. Please do not share your login with others. Your account is private and secure, and your program entries are designed for your own personal growth journey.

When you enter the program you will always open up to the table of contents and titles of each module. Next to each module, you will see either a lock symbol, meaning that the module is not available yet. A blue circle with three dots meeting the module is open and available, but not completed yet or a green checkmark meaning the module has been completed.

At the top of the table of contents is a welcome module. This is where this video is housed. You’ll receive access to each module on Sunday at 12:01 am in your time zone as long as the previous module has been 100% completed. For approximately 60 mins you will be guided to complete activities involving thinking writing and taking action in what you’re learning.

We recommend you login and review the module at the beginning of the week and watch the coaching video. Then you may complete your activities in the time frames that work best for you. With the goal being that you complete the module by Sunday in each week.

The program is designed around accountability points each module in the program you will earn points for completing all of the assignments for that particular module.

Each category has a point box to click after you’ve completed the activities in that category. Be sure to save your entries before you leave the screen. Your goal is to complete all of the activities in each module until you see 100% complete.

You may not skip ahead in the modules. However, you may go backward. By clicking on the table of contents in the menu bar at the top left-hand side of the screen and then select the module you wish to go back to. This is important to note for a couple of reasons. If you’ve missed an activity or a module, we encourage you to go back and complete what you have missed. If you want to go back and change edit or add anything that you wrote. You may also do so and receive your entries.

You may also edit your entries which are being compiled and organized and available to you in your my journal link. This is where you will find all your input organized, even after the program ends at the end of the six modules and week in this program. You will continue to have access to the entire program for six months after the program ends. After six months, you will continue to have access to your entries that have been compiled in your journal on the site forever.

If you have any questions or need some extra encouragement or insight. Use the link within the program to contact your advisor directly.

Option 1: Our Daily Programs are designed with a 14-day grace period at the end to allow you to catch up with days you fell behind. This may be a consideration for you if you feel you can still jump back in and make the most of your program. The day you recommit to the program, complete that day’s entry and go back to a day you missed and continue at the two a-day pace until you are caught back up. It’s better to complete the program incrementally versus all at once.

Option 2: If you feel you are too far behind, we totally understand that life (and Deception) gets in the way and you may definitely want to start again. Your circumstances would qualify you for a $50 administrative “start again” fee*. Please send in a support ticket and we’ll be happy to help you! There is great value in recommitting to the program and taking it again from the start for even further growth.

*The Start Again rate/fee applies within six months of your original purchased program start date. The Start Again fee/rate is not offered for the Weekly Module Live Advisor Programs.

Once you are logged into the program, at the bottom of the screen click on the drop-down selection showing the Day numbers and select the day you wish to navigate to.
