Zanesville seminar focuses on
common-sense financial practices
By Christine Shaw
Dec. 20, 2010
Robert L. Lawson, Ed.D., will teach a one-day course, “Dare to be a Millionaire,” from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, January 15 in the Elson Hall Auditorium at Ohio University-Zanesville. The seminar course can count toward college academic credit.
The class is based on a book by the same name that Lawson has authored. “The class and the book stress a common-sense approach to saving money that is relevant to individuals of all ages and wages,” Lawson said. “Rather than a ‘get rich quick’ scheme, we will discuss practical ways to reduce debt, develop savings habits, set up a budget, generate more income and develop a strategy for reaching financial goals.”
Class space is limited. For more information or to register for the course, contact Cindy Oliver in the OU Zanesville Office of Continuing Education, at (740) 588-1400 or oliverc@ohio.edu.
“The seminar will help those in attendance develop a 20-year plan and will emphasize how they can pursue their passions and their interests toward attaining greater financial prosperity. These are proven methods. As with the book, the seminar emphasizes processes and philosophies that have been utilized by others who have acquired wealth,” Lawson said.
According to material for the course, the seminar will include insights from others who have found success, the importance of self-motivation and how to develop a long-term financial game plan.
“The seminar and the book are designed to provide individuals with a goal-achievement strategy for acquiring money and following their own dreams to achieve financial independence,” Lawson said.
A Portsmouth, Ohio, resident and an OU Zanesville adjunct faculty member, Lawson earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Rio Grande, a master’s degree from Marshall University and a doctoral degree from Nova Southeastern University.
