Directions University helps small business owners and entrepreneurs in 4 areas:

  • Get Direction for Your Life
  • Get Direction for Your Business
  • Learn to Give Direction to Your Prospects and Customers
  • Impact the Direction of the World!

DU Students are people who would not be happy just making a bunch of money.

Yes, they want money.  But more importantly, they want to make a difference.  They want to make a bigger impact.  They want to have a bigger reach.

And, as a result of these things, they want to have a better lifestyle AND make a bigger living as well! At DU, you will learn a system for SERVING — your prospects, your customers, your JV Partners, yourself — while STRATEGICALLY MONETIZING at the same time.

In other words, through DU’s courses, you’ll first plan your approach (meaning that you will identify your ideal customer, plan how you will serve them and make money at the same time), then sell whatever it is that you offer (membership sites, information products, coaching, done for you services, other people’s products, etc.), and then create those products or services.

AFTER your strategic plan is implemented, you’ll be able to go out and have conversations, do the work you are here to do, and trust that the money really will follow!  When you plan it, sell it, THEN create it, the money always follows because it happens on purpose and not by accident! If this sounds like the way that you would like to do business, then “Welcome to DirectionsU”!

How is Directions University Organized?

DU is organized into two schools:  the DU “School of Personal Success” (headed up by Deans Chief Robert & Terri TallTree) and the DU “School of Business & Marketing” (headed up  by Deans David Bullock and Antonio Thornton).  The administration of the overall DU is Dean & Founder, Gina Gaudio-Graves (“The JV Queen”) and Associate Dean, Jack Humphrey (Author, “Bending the Web”).

DU’s courses are organized into the 5 key systems that every business needs to succeed.  These are:

  • The Mindset System This system includes topics such as the entrepreneurial mindset, the money mindset, goal setting, discovering your Heart Virtue, how your personality style and values affect your productivity and efficiency.
  • The Monetization System We call the model the “vortex model of doing business”.  The process for creating the Vortex Model of Doing Business not only helps you reach more people and make more money, it makes EVERY decision you make for your business easier to answer!
  • The Relationship Building System  This training focuses on starting and continuing conversations, rather than talking AT people as you would with an older style website.  Conversations are the key to both engaging your audience and improving your search engine rankings so that you can attract more people.
  • The Leveraging System Leverage means getting the biggest possible results with the least amount of effort in the shortest amount of time.  DU’s courses will help you to think strategically using leverage so that you can always be getting the biggest possible outcomes in every aspect of your business.
  • The Lead Generation System Lead Generation includes many components such as:  driving traffic, search engine optimization, list building, social media, and more.  DU’s courses include training on many different ways of driving traffic including using Social Media (Google+, LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube), Podcasting, Digital Magazines, Mobile Apps, Retargeting Campaigns, Webinars, and much more!

The best way to get started at DU is to join our entry level program, “Motivation to Profit“.
