Get PAID (Pay Attention • Identify Daily) is a structured life-design and decision training system created to address a growing problem: young people are overwhelmed with information, distracted by constant input, and unclear about how to make decisions that align with who they want to become.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Get PAIDTM System?

Get PAIDTM (Pay Attention – Identify Daily) is a structured decision-training system designed to help young people (ages 16–25) stop drifting and start designing their lives. It teaches identity awareness, critical thinking, discipline, and daily accountability not motivation or inspiration, but direction.

Who is the Get PAIDTM System for?

The system is designed for:

Teachers (high school & college)

Parents

Mentors, coaches, and youth leaders

Organizations working with young adults

Students who benefit most are those navigating identity, direction, career paths, and personal responsibility.

What makes Get PAIDTM different from other life-skills or mindset programs?

Get PAIDTM is not motivational speaking or character talks.

It is a decision-training framework that:

• Introduces a shared language adults and youth can use together

• Trains students to notice inputs, evaluate choices, and decide daily

• Builds self-governing humans, not dependent learners

What does “Teaching the Teachers” mean?

“Teaching the Teachers” means educators, parents, and mentors are trained first, so they can confidently teach the system to students.

Instead of being passive attendees, participants:

• Experience the system themselves

• Teach each other during the training

• Leave prepared to duplicate the framework in their own environments

What is the Get PAID Painters’ Lab?

The Get PAID Painters’ Lab is an immersive weekend boot-camp experience where participants:

• Learn the full Get PAIDTM System

• Break into collaborative groups of five

• Teach, reflect, and co-create together

• Leave with clarity, confidence, and tools to implement immediately

It is limited to 35 participants to maintain depth, dialogue, and hands-on learning.

Why is it called a “Painters’ Lab”?

The system uses art and creation as a metaphor for life:

• Students are artists

• Their lives are the canvas

• Decisions are brushstrokes

• Identity sets the palette

Participants are not lectured to—they create, reflect, and build together.

What materials are included in the Get PAIDTM System?

The complete system includes:

Student Book: 7 Chapters, 7 Lessons, 7 Delivers

Student Workbook: Building Character & Building Careers

Personal Journal: Clarifying thoughts through written words

Teacher/Parent/Mentor Manual: Full instructions for teaching and implementation

Everything is designed to work together as a single system.

Where did Get PAIDTM System originate?

The Get PAIDTM System evolved over 30+ years and was redesigned for each generation:

Generation X: My Life – My Choice

Generation Y: There Is an Art to Living

Generation Z: YOU (Your Own Universe)

2024 and Beyond: Get PAIDTM – NOW (Nothing Overwhelming)

The principles are timeless.

Can parents teach this system at home, and is it ongoing?

Absolutely. Parents are encouraged to learn the system themselves, use the shared language at home, and teach it to their own teens, and even their teens’ friends. The Painters’ Lab serves as the entry point, while the Get PAID™ System is designed for ongoing use through repeated cycles and long-term integration in classrooms, homes, and mentoring programs. Together, it strengthens communication between adults and youth over time.

How is accountability handled?

Accountability is built into the system through:

• Daily reflection

• Written exercises

• Choice-consequence awareness

• Self-governing practices, not external punishment

Students learn to hold themselves accountable.

What problem does Get PAIDTM solve?

Get PAIDTM addresses:

• Drifting without direction

• Poor decision-making

• Lack of identity clarity

• External dependency

• Overwhelm and disengagement

It replaces confusion with clarity, language, and structure.
