Hi Creators and Big Thinkers,

I hope you are all having a fabulous week and that the brand new month of January has been good to you!

Over here at Sheri McConnell Companies, Inc. (the parent company of this association), we’ve been working hard on the liquidation of one of our most popular programs – the Create Your Group program.  We just recently recorded a new audio about the liquidation with new, never-been-shared information on membership-based businesses and we wanted to get a copy of that out to you.

The audio is about thirty minutes long and there are some really, really great nuggets in there and a few ah-has along the way!

You can download it here:

If you’re contemplating purchasing this program, I am doing free 15-minute consultations during the liquidation with those who have questions about the Create Your Group program and around building membership-based businesses.  To schedule those simply contact my assistant Brenda at brenda@sherimcconnell.com.

You can find out more about the Create Your Group liquidation and grab your copy of the program today by visiting:

Thank you!

Almost every family has a dysfunctional member or two. What about your family? Did your father-in-law make a totally embarrassing toast at your wedding reception? Does your cousin Vinny have an enormous collection of gnome statues in his yard? Did your Aunt Martha leave all of her fortune to her parakeet? Or does your grandmother dye her hair pink and ride a Harley?

NAWW Member Susan M. Heim is coauthoring the upcoming book, Chicken Soup for the Soul: All in the Family, and she is looking for your true stories and poems about your off-the-wall, goofy or just downright strange family members. Stories can be serious or hilarious, or both, and should make readers realize that their quirky families are not so different from those of other people!

To submit your stories, go to http://www.chickensoupforthesoul.com and click on “Submit a Story.” Be sure to select “All in the Family” as the book title when you fill out the form. Submit under your real name, but rest assured that you will be allowed, if requested, to use a pen name for publication and change the names of family members to protect the innocent (or guilty!). Stories and poems should be written in the first person and of no more than 1,200 words.

[Note: Stories about divorce or the normal trials and tribulations of raising children and teenagers will not be included. Those will be reserved for other books!]

If your story is chosen, you will be a published author and your bio will be printed in the book if you so choose. You will also receive a check for $200 and 10 free copies of the book, worth more than $100. You will retain the copyright for your story and the right to resell it.

DEADLINE IS JUNE 30, 2009. Book is tentatively scheduled for
publication in fall 2009, in time for the next holiday season!

Live Creative, Not Reactive:

5 Secrets to Take Your Life to the Next Level

Date: April 14, 2009

Time: 11 am (PST), Noon (MST), 1 (CST), 2 pm (EST)

Are you successful?  Are you living a truly authentic and creative life?  Are you designing your world in alignment with your deepest self?  Or are you just trying to keep up while reacting to everything that has been thrown your way?

Creativity is more than just writing that book, or making some art, or keeping a journal.  Creativity is about Living Creative.  And Living Creative is about literally being a creator and creating a masterful life.

Sadly, most people are not creators. They are reactors.  They are just trying to keep up.

In this call, we’ll turn that trend around.  You will learn:

- How to powerfully attract – not force – positive outcomes to you.

- Why the simple act of setting intention can bring up a whole bunch of junk, and what to do about it.

- The best ways to listen to your authentic Wise Self, and how to make sure you’re not hearing the wrong voice!

- Simple tools to keep you moving forward when you get stuck.

- The one socially-accepted seemingly-harmless habit that can completely wreck a creative life.

You will leave this call with renewed energy and enthusiasm, as well as some practical tools to apply to your life immediately.
