Finisher Lesson 8: Graduation and the TOPUCU Journey Continues
Pre-Class Preparation

TOPUCU Journey Continues
We have created several tools to support the continuation of the TOPUCU journey. These tools reinforce
the principles of the Starter and Finisher programs by providing structure to help keep finishers on track.
Planner / Journal
To help you continue your PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION we’ve developed the TOPUCU
Planner/Journal!

Daily use of the TOPUCU Journal will “Increase the Odds” you will:

• Stay on track. Routine changes are required to create good HABITS.
• Keep yourself internally MOTIVATED.
• Work harder (P.A.T.) to avoid “future pain”.
• Focus on POSITIVE thoughts (E to the 7th Power).
• Remain focused on your MISSION. Visualize your “Finish Line”.
• Use your time more EFFECTIVELY.
• Make daily progress towards your GOALS.
• Chart your SUCCESSES daily to reinforce your “behavior change”.

Make the TOPUCU Journal a new HABIT! Remember….

The Only Person U Cheat is U!

TOPUCU ReNewed is a program to revisit the commitments you made to yourself during the
TOPUCU Starter and Finisher Programs. You will be given the opportunity to assess your
progress with your goals and personal mission statement. Perhaps things have changed in your
life. This program walks you through the process of addressing those changes and modifying
your goals and personal mission statement as needed.
