The Un•lost E-Course

How do you discover the
fulfilling, meaningful, passionate
work you were built to do?

(Hint: Not the way that you think.)

Hi, I'M THERESE SCHWENKLER

author, speaker, and founder of TheUnlost.com

And boy, do I know how you feel...

For years, the same question gnawed at my soul: “What in the heck should I do with my life??!”

It wasn’t that I didn’t have a college degree or skills or a job – I had all these things. It was just that when it came to knowing what I really wanted to do with my life, I was completely, totally, utterly lost.

Sure, I knew what I didn’t want: I didn’t want to keep getting up day after day, trudging into work like a robot and then coming home to an empty house and another episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

I didn’t want a workday void of meaning and a lifetime void of – well, life.

I didn’t want to relentlessly climb the career ladder only to look back one day and find that I’d been climbing the wrong ladder all along.

I wanted something SO much more, and I wanted it so bad I could taste it.

There was a terrible problem in my way, though:

I didn’t know what this work was or where to find it. I had no clue where to start.

Are questions like this all too familiar?

Should I go to grad school? Get a new degree? Should I switch fields (and if so, to what)?

And if I did try something new, who’s to say I’d end up liking it, anyhow? It seemed so risky to start all over again. How could I ever know the right choice?

The thought of being stuck at my accounting job forever made me want to throw up in my mouth a little bit (actually, a lot) – but how could I possibly take steps forward without knowing what else to do or where to start?! I felt totally stuck.

For years, I searched hard for the answers. I read books and took assessments and talked to career counselors. I picked apart the possibilities with my friends and family.

“Maybe I’m meant to be a teacher,” I thought. “Maybe a counselor? Perhaps I want to work in marketing.” I searched the Internet and scoured job boards, hoping the find that one perfect thing I was meant to do.

Then something happened that totally changed the way I thought about finding my career path.

And it didn’t just change my view a little bit; it convinced me of the exact opposite of what I’d believed my whole life.

The Secret I Discovered

Here’s what I began to do: I began talking to lots of people-- people who were insanely fulfilled with their life paths and who were super happy OMG! (these were mentors and role models whom I trusted and respected deeply).

Based on dozens of these conversations, I began to notice something really weird:

As far as I know, these principles aren’t taught in any high school, university, or career center in the world.

They’re amazingly simple, and yet no one had ever mentioned them to me before.

And by using these principles over time, I’ve been able to find my way into a career and life path that I’m incredibly, insane-ballzy, over-the-top passionate about.

I want to show you to do the same.

That’s why I’ve decided to create something awesome: a revolutionary three month e-course designed to help you find your way into your truest career & life path – even if you have no clue where to start.

Introducing: The Unlost E-Course

Over three months, you’ll make your way through eight modules packed with everything I know about finding your truest path.

You’ll learn to navigate your way through life using a proven process and to consciously, deliberately evolve your way into your truest career and life path, even if you don’t have the vaguest idea of where to start.

It’s packed full of all the stuff I wish I would’ve known 5 years ago – the stuff that even so-called “career experts” won’t tell you:

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

I’ve seen these methods work for people time and time again, and they’re the exact principles I’ve used (and continue to use) in order to find my way into the work I love doing and the life I love living.

And here’s what you’ll get inside the course:

More Value Than a College Course - At a Fraction of the Price

Aren’t you so totally pissed off?

Doesn't it piss you off that you’ve paid thousands and thousands (and thousands) of dollars on your college education, only to wake up months or years later to realize that you never learned the things you really needed to know?

You learned how to master a skill or trade, but you never learned how to determine if it’s the right skill or trade for you in the first place.

You learned that success meant getting good grades, landing a “good job,” and keeping up with The Joneses, but you never learned how to define—and listen to—your own version of success.

And you learned that in order to find a career you love, you need to start off knowing exactly what you want to do and exactly how to get there. (This simply isn’t true, and the interviews & research I’ve done have confirmed this time and time again.)

The Unlost E-Course is like the college class you desperately needed but never knew existed.

It’s your real-world guide to how people really find their way into pursuits (and lives) that fill them up to the brim with happiness and passion.

Best of all, you won’t have to apply for loans or spend years paying off debt in order to take this course—it’s available at a fraction of the cost of your college tuition.

Action: Guaranteed

Let's get real: We all know that the hardest part about learning new stuff isn’t the learning – it’s actually getting your ass off the couch and taking action on it.

That’s why I’ve included step-by-step homework documents for each module that guide you through the exact process for discovering your truest career and life path.

This is you, jumping for joy because your life’s so goddang awesome.

No more wondering HOW to break complex concepts down into digestible action steps—I’ve already done the hard work for you. All you need to do is follow the guided action steps for each module, and you’ll be well on your way to discovering work you love.

And if you want to take your commitment even further, you can take the Move-lah version of the course, which have been specially designed to give you the support and accountability you’ll need to take action.

The Move-lah version of the course requires you to do your homework (and take the action steps) for each module in order to gain access to the next module’s content. You’ll also be assigned to a small group and an expert coach for support and accountability.


Here’s What People Are Saying:


"Therese never ceases to amaze me. I’ve only found The Unlost a few months ago, but with this course she has sealed the deal as one of my heroes. She cuts past all of the bullshit that other personal development gurus try to sell and focuses on what really matters – helping people take action. This course not only helped me change the way I think about success, happiness and my career, but it gave me the support to start making changes in my life. I can’t wait to see what comes next."

- Katie Gresham

"This course needs to be taught in schools! A heck of a lot of people would be a heck of a lot happier in life if they had this knowledge early on – knowledge that will not only help them on their true path in the short term, but also give them the tools to happily evolve over time."

- Christine Callahan-Oke

"Therese’s funny videos are the best part of the course! They really grab my focus because they’re both humorous and insightful. I know the coursework and group interactions are always going to be fun... I look forward to the learning process because I feel privileged, rather than obligated, to do my homework.

"This course is different in that it’s not about answering the questions RIGHT but rather TRUTHFULLY and Therese does a good job of milking that out of us through the way the questions and content are all designed. Far harder for those of us who can easily come by the textbook answers to most things, is to begin to delve deeper and see OUR truth rather than the so-called right answers to things."

- Tanya Talisa

"Therese's passion for helping people is obvious in every section of this course – the concepts she has developed are unique and actionable, and their impact can be seen immediately.

"But the content is only the tip of the iceberg. The brilliance of this course is how everything works together for your benefit. The writing, the videos, the homework, and the groups all come together in a way that helps you move into action, discover answers, and get 'Unlost.'"

- Andrew Olson

"The reasons I would say you should attend The Unlost course are many: the good quality of the content, the different types of media provided to express a concept, but more importantly the focus on taking action and interacting with a group of people. This is the best part of the process because it makes you stick to your commitments and think about what you really need and desire."

- Valentina Adami

"Taking the one, small step of commitment into the unknown of The Unlost has been one giant leap into gaining a self-awareness that I’m not lost after all. It didn’t take long before I realized that I was amongst friends. The people I’ve met in my group are dynamic and caring individuals. Our meetings are entertaining and insightful. I feel alive after each one of them. I have the faith and the support of being a part of this larger community where we all want everyone to succeed.

Join the conversation. Get engaged, discover a rich list of resources in the context, and start taking the guided, small steps for finding your truest self. I promise you’ll have no regrets, and with a little effort of “doing” you’ll have a lot of rewards."

- Mary-Jo Gellenbeck

Frequently Asked Questions

HECK NO! This course isn’t age-oriented, and there’s no age limit for finding your truest career & life path. In fact, I’ve found that a lot of people don’t even start asking the important questions about their life & their career until they’ve matured and grown a bit older. This course is for anyone who’s determined to find his or her place in the world, whether (s)he is 20, 40 or 60.

For the Standard and "Just the basics" versions of the course, there is no time or action commitment. The course materials will be accessible to you at any time and you can move through the content at your own pace. For the MOVE-lah option, the estimated time commitment is about 2-4 hours per module, including your group meeting. (Modules run weekly for the first month of the course, then bi-weekly (twice per month) for the last two months of the course.)

The course consists of a collection of video, audio, and written content, broken out into eight modules, housed within a members-only site for which you’ll have a unique user ID and password. I don’t teach it live, but I do interact in the forums. If you take the Move-lah Plus version of the course, you’ll also receive personal guidance from an expert Unlost coach.

The Move-lah version of the course runs every three months and the next iteration begins April 29, 2013. Modules run weekly for the first month of the course, then bi-weekly (twice per month) for the last two months of the course. Upon course registration you’ll receive a detailed course calendar.

Most groups choose to meet using Google+ Hangouts, a free platform for video conferencing with up to ten people. It’s SUPER easy to use, and all the details are explained simply and clearly within the course materials.

At registration time we’ll collect your availability, which we’ll use to group coursemembers together. Then once you’ve received your small group assignment (the week before the course begins), you & your group will determine and set meeting times that work for you.

You’ll meet with your group members once per module as a part of your homework assignments. (Modules run weekly for the first month of the course, then bi-weekly (twice per month) for the last two months of the course.)

Shoot me an E-mail and I’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have about the course.

Still Not Sure?

I want you to imagine what your life will be like in a year if you stay where you are today without taking action. How will it look, sound, and feel? Will you be happy with where you are and what you’re doing?

How about five years from now?

Ten years?

If you’re happy with that thought, go ahead and click that “x” in the right hand corner of your screen (or the left hand corner for you Mac users).

But if you just can’t stand the thought of spending another second wasting this precious life of yours in a career and a life that’s not your own, if you’re ready to discover the secrets you’ve been searching for and to take action on the principles that will change your life, then I want you to envision a different scenario:

I want you to imagine, now, that you’re taking active, deliberate steps toward finding your truest career and life path. You have a clear framework to help you navigate your way through the chaos, and you no longer have to flounder around without direction and with no one to guide you. You’re supported and held accountable every step of the way by a tight knit community of people who really understand what you’re going through.

Finally, you know without a doubt that you’re well on your way to discovering and living a life of satisfaction and fulfillment. Which scenario will become your reality?

The choice, my friend, is yours.
