I give you a small taste of what each law is and why it is important. The 7 Laws are: The Law of the Lid The Law of Process The Law of Priorities The Law of Navigation The Law of Composure The Law of Momentum The Law of Coachability These laws need to be followed to have success at the FAA Academy. I have seen a lot of students follow them, and I've seen a lot of students who didn't. That is why I will be going over them in the next weeks. Thank you for listening! And have a great day! FOR HELP: To set up a FREE call: sidebysideatc.com/scheduler/free-consult Pre-Academy If you are heading to the Academy in the next few months, I put together a structured 90-day preparation blueprint that walks you through exactly what to focus on each month before you go. It's designed to help reduce shock and build confidence before day one. You can download it at: sidebysideatc.com/page/blueprint . I also have a video where I explain the different things that are on the enroute Non-Radar Map. You can get that video at: sidebysideatc.com/page/map-video . Already at the Academy If you are already in the enroute radar portion of the Academy and feeling a little behind or lost, I have a 72-Hour Radar Recovery Plan that will help you get past those feelings and start building confidence. You can download that at : sidebysideatc.com/page/72-hourplan .
