Ron Carstens is an author, entrepreneur, business consultant, and life-long learner, who has spent his life helping and educating people. Ron served in the military and government before changing careers to the financial industry. As a financial advisor for a large national bank, he helped individuals and small business owners plan and achieve their various financial and business goals. Then, September 11, 2001, occurred, which shattered the financial world along with Ron’s new career. In the wake of 9/11, he faced tremendous obstacles of customers’ financial fears, pressure from management for new sales, and acting in customer’s best interest while keeping his integrity with a job where his income was 100% sales commission based. After evaluating his new circumstances, Ron chose to keep his integrity and went back to his government job.

Ron continued his self-improvement education and explored entrepreneurship starting several of his own businesses. Throughout his various changes and challenges, Ron observed many people experiencing the same problems he had encountered. People had goals, but they didn’t know how to get started or the best way to achieve them. They were not taught about goal setting or action plans despite their importance and impact they can have on our lives. Also, the amount of information on goals can be overwhelming, often contradictory and confusing. To solve these problems and give people proper guidance, he took his 35-plus years of experience, education and training in personal growth/self-improvement, goals, leadership, management, team building and training and created the D.R.E.A.M. Goal Setting and Goal Achievement Method. Based on the best and proven techniques, Ron now shares his new system for success to help people reach their goals and live a better life. Currently, Ron lives in Houston, Texas, with his two sons, a cat, a bird, and lots of noise.
