A Promise to His Mother
In his books and Personal Empowerment Programs (PEPTalks), Cossolotto describes a life-changing promise he made: "I made a promise to my mother on her deathbed that I would finish writing a book she had been encouraging me to write and dedicate it to her memory. With tears in her eyes, she said: 'You do that, Matthew. You do that. This makes me very happy.'"

Cossolotto knew right away that failure was not an option. "I'm proud to say I kept that promise," continues Cossolotto. "Doing so put me on my current path as a personal empowerment author, speaker, and coach. My mission is to spread the power of making a promise to millions of people around the world."

A Model "Make a Promise Day" Proclamation
Cossolotto explains that there are no costs involved in adopting a MAPD Proclamation. But there are many benefits that will accrue to any local, state or national jurisdiction that encourages residents to harness their promise power. Cossolotto is asking supporters of this initiative to urge appropriate authorities in their town, city, county, state (or province) and country to adopt a "Make A Promise Day" Proclamation similar to the model proclamation that accompanies this press release.
