My husband, Walter, is great, he is especially happy when I do yard work and bring in the trash can. Hey, I aim to please!
As my life gets more intense, my workouts get more intense. Intense workouts provide clarity for me in my business and life. Hope you are getting your workouts in!
The more I continue to learn and grow, it’s apparent that mindset is everything! Goal Achievement, Success and Happiness are all about INTENTIONAL mindset! Wishing all of you the same!

Happy New Year!
Hope all had wonderful holidays and are excited about the year ahead!
My newsletters had taken a slight hiatus, as I had to take a step back to focus on the systems of my business. Working the systems isn’t quite as much fun as interacting with all of you; however, it is something huge to concentrate on for business growth. Focusing on the clarity of what I have been creating has been a must and has been a challenging proposition. What I do so naturally & do in such an integrated way, has been difficult for me to breakdown. As more clarity and systems have been gained, I can now resume the consistency of my newsletter. Looking forward to the year ahead with YOU!
Warm Regards,
Marie
Suddenly downsized
When I was suddenly downsized approximately two years ago, I, along with many others who experienced this, again learned the true meaning of creating life in your vision rather than relying on the actions of others in business or life to determine that for you. It reemphasized the mantra that constant growth is a mainstay to achieving your goals in work and in life. Constant growth means getting out of your comfort zone. Growing means seeking and participating in constant personal and professional development. Build your strong foundation by identifying your passions, strengths and abilities while clarifying your purpose and vision. When you work this process, you begin to work towards creating work/life balance and fulfillment.
The Pace of Knowledge and its Application
The world has forever changed and technology has increased the pace of the transfer of knowledge and change by “light years”.
Increasing knowledge is one aspect of learning. Without application and intentional direction of knowledge, knowledge is not power. Goals, deliberate practical applications, accountability and reassessment are all key to successful knowledge application.
In order to identify aspects that contribute to your knowledge and growth for whole person leadership, CSC created the Building Blocks of Connection which represent important knowledge connections : Authentic, Relationship, Learning, Time, Productivity, The Plan & Support.
Today’s global, rapidly changing world represents knowledge opportunity!
Marketplace Mandatory Skills for Business & Life
* The ability to brand and market yourself with the skill to communicate this
in person & virtually
* Knowledge of your strengths, as well as your gaps, so you can surround
yourself with a complete team (personally and professionally) and aren’t left
vulnerable with blind spots.
* The ability to think like entrepreneurs (outside of the box, innovation,
problem solving)
* To embrace diversity in others including thinking styles, affective
differences and cultures
* To create strong relationships
Powering your Personal Leadership Continuum
All of the above are traits that power your personal leadership continuum which begins with your empowerment. We are all leaders whether we hold the position or not. We all hold the power to influence.
Personal Leadership Foundation Fuels Maximizing Business Performance and Cultivates Business and Life Success.
Fuel for CSC Services
All described in this newsletter is the foundation for my company and embedded in the variety of services we provide: Power Training for groups, corporations and individuals. I didn’t set out to create all of this; it has authentically evolved! In summary and figurative terms, we’re no longer talking about getting on the bus, we are talking about flying on the mother ship. If you want to fly successfully, the above referenced is your travel map.

The NET of Relationships

“The NET of Relationships!”
Hello! I hope you had a superb weekend and are ready to create a powerful week!
Building relationships is the single most powerful action you can take in life. It’s connecting with others and relating; it’s a two way street. To me, networking and connecting is the start of potential wonderful relationships. Networking/connecting and creating relationships are important in business, …yet, this important business skill is eclipsed as a great Life Skill. The building of your network and creating relationships allows you to reach your personal & professional goals. Building your network of effective relationships is a life-long, fulfilling process. One of its missions is to be proactive in assisting others. There are two things people remember: those who were there in their time of need and those who weren’t. Your life can change in one minute. Wouldn’t it be great to know there is a whole group of people you can count on? Do not underestimate the power connection of networking and creating relationships. Seek to always be refining your skills.
To further clarify, your relationships can make you or break you and help determine where you are headed. You never know when you need to call on someone. Be proactive in creating your relationships, making connections and meeting your network before you need their help. See what you can offer. With our world globally transforming, we’ve seen powerful examples of how relationships affect us in gaining new positions and new clients. The economy and massive layoffs proved to many that a healthy supportive network is critical to success. Those who didn’t have a powerful network hopefully will have learned proactive network forming is powerful and will continually work at building relationships. Good people to have in networks: friends, doctors, lawyers, insurance, financial, bankers, etc. We truly don’t know what the next minute could bring, you never know who you can bring to someone else or who they can bring to you. Creating relationships is the single most important characteristic shared by all truly successful people and businesses: creating relationships amongst their network.
My best wishes for truly wonderful relationships in your business and your life.
Warm Regards,
Marie

“Connections Inspire!”
Only
You are only what you give
You reap only where you’ve sown
You attract only what you respect
You create only what you say
You become only what you honor
You overcome only what you face
You trust only what you believe
You have only what you let go
You lose only what you hold on to
And your goodness is only reflected in your legacy
Alvin Augustus Jones
Greatest of greetings to you! Thank you for all of your support, participation, positive thoughts and connections.
Wishing you a joy-filled holiday season! Create this season for joy and to nurture the spirit from which this season was created. Enjoy quality connection to yourself, as well as others. Honor your relationships! Disregard perfection and embrace the spirit.
Connection Tip
Reconnect with friends or family even if you won’t be seeing them. An ingenious way of doing this would be to do an all conference call. Link on to: http://www.freeconferencecall.com to get your personal conference call number and distribute this as well as the code. Coordinate time (including time zones) of call with the participants and everyone can take turns in bringing people up to speed with their current news. You may need to set the timer for each one and give each one 5-10 minutes depending on how many are on the call. Don’t forget to LinkIn, Twitter & Facebook with them! I’m doing this with a group of college friends. There are so many people I want to connect with yet there are still only 24 hours in a day! Enjoy! Would love to hear feedback on how this went.
My sincere pleasure in being connected to you! Happy Thanksgiving!

The Ultimate Connection: Mastermind Groups
September 9, 2009
The Ultimate Connection: Mastermind Groups
If you are ready, we have somewhere to take you. It’s further than you’ve ever been before. You will now take your vision and strategically work on the steps to make it happen. You will have a great group of people cheering for you to accomplish your goals to achieve your vision. This synergistic group will offer you resources and add strengths to your already amassed supply. Your confidence will turn into super confidence because you will truly discover when you set goals and receive encouragement, your world becomes your creation. Embark on the Mastermind Journey now to uncover your true potential and emerge as an individual who knows no bounds!
Think the above is surreal?
The single most important ingredient in successful people is the network they have created and nurtured. After twenty years of research, Hill confirms this by stating “The Most Successful People In Life Never Reach The Top All By Themselves!” We all know the power of the mind…imagine that multiplied in the “collective meeting of the minds”. Can you fathom what can be accomplished through the energy of peak performers and high-reaching achievers at these meetings and through continual access to their group?
Is a Mastermind group for you?
Questions to ask yourself:
Is there a sense of purpose in your personal life, as well as your business life? Do you want helpful, trusted feedback on opportunities, obstacles, creative problem solving? Do you ever feel powerless? Are you living in your flow? Are you overwhelmed? Are you truly satisfied with what you have accomplished? Are you a solopreneur? Are you a business professional who wants to go to the next level? Will you dare to achieve your dreams and goals?
Your Power can be Realized through Mastermind Groups !
The economic climate, the rate at which globalism and technology are changing our world and the high level of competition in the workplace, as well as the market, warrant you to be the best product you can be while also living your life with happiness and fulfillment.
Solution:
Mastermind Groups accelerate your success, as well as take you to levels you never thought possible. How do I know this? I’ve experienced this first hand. Additionally, the Mastermind Principle was identified and has been in existence since the early 1900’s. Mastermind Group Participants: Andrew Carnegie, Charles Schwab, Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, Theodore Roosevelt, Henry Ford, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and thousands more. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************** What is a Mastermind Group?
A Mastermind Group is harnessing the power of minds working together in a synergistic way to accomplish set goals, receive support, share resources and develop community. It’s the opportunity to collaborate with other high achievers to gain feedback in a climate of trust and to gain access to a collection of knowledge at your finger tips. Test out your ideas, brainstorm solutions to your challenges among peers of different perspectives, and share your knowledge with others to give back. Imagine the power of an entire group wanting you to succeed! An additional way this group increases your productivity is through motivation and accountability for reporting on the progess of goals and accomplishments during the time period.
Are you ready to go for it?
Entrepreneurs & solopreneurs wear so many hats; it’s impossible to excel at all. Wouldn’t it be nice to have some resources you could count on? I thought so! Here are some resources.
