To celebrate the new beginnings that fall represents (even though most people look at it like an ending, it opens up the new season and the chance for trees to renew themselves, people to get back on track after a summer of holidays and children to get back into the routine of school) we’re holding a series of free preview calls!

We’d like you, our valued follower, to be the first to know about our 2009 Online Mastermind Group and the first to be invited to our free preview calls. These calls have been set up so that you can come and learn everything you need to know plus ask questions of me directly.

What we have launched and the program that we want you to get excited about too is The Ultimate “Learn To Leverage” Mastermind. This is a must for 2009 when it comes to your business. Not only that but you’ll also have the opportunity for plenty of personal growth too!

Here’s a quick and easy way to learn more… You can automatically jump on over to the information page to learn more about the mastermind group:

http://www.smc-mastermind-online.com

So, beginning Tuesday, October 21 and continuing for the following six Tuesdays, you can tune in to free, educational and informational preview calls to learn more about leverage and to learn more about our new mastermind group beginning in 2009.

Sheri McConnell will be live on this live, information-packed teleseminar, ready to share with you:

• Information about the types of leverage that can be used in business
• Why you need to be leveraging your time, knowledge and expertise
• How you can save time and money in your business

…a disruptive technology, a new idea, a scientific theory.

It’s rare, but it does happen.

Well, one such item recently came across my desk…

…and I suddenly realized, “Wow this is unprecedented. This is new. This is groundbreaking.”

What is it?

It’s a brand new book (and teleseminar series… more on that in a moment) by my friend and colleague, Dr. Larina Kase, called The Confident Leader: How the Most Successful People Go from Effective to Exceptional.

http://www.ConfidentLeaderBook.com/sheri

The Confident Leader combines cutting-edge research and on-the-ground experience to give you a formula for…

…consistently and reliably breaking through your comfort zone — at will.

Larina has actually “cracked the code” to breaking through your comfort zone, predictably and with scientific precision…

…and backs that statement up with over 10 years of research (she’s a Doctor of Psychology and served as a clinical faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania)…

…and countless clients of hers breaking through to new levels of achievement that they previously considered impossible.

You’ll find interviews with business leaders such as Seth Godin, Tim Sanders, Joe Vitale, and 7 equally incredible authors and experts.

She’s also a giver. So today, when you pick up your copy of The Confident Leader, she’ll be giving you access to:

1. An unprecedented LIVE 11-part Confident Leadership Telesummit with world-class experts in business, self-development, and leadership.

2. A selection of exclusive bonus gifts that Larina hand-picked herself from highly qualified and respected experts – definitely not the typical overload of bonuses no single human being could ever actually utilize

I’m happy to say that I’m one of the bonus contributors. It’s wonderful to participate in promoting such an important and groundbreaking book.

This is truly too remarkable a book (and overall offer) to miss: http://www.ConfidentLeaderBook.com/sheri

You’ll be very, very glad you did (and a better, more confident leader because of it).

To your success,
Sheri

I recently read a post by Amy Swift over at Ladies Who Launch about the types of companies that are most resistant to recessions.

And guess what type of company was at the top of her list?

Yep, it was the professional membership-based business.

Now, more than ever is the time for you to “act” differently than everyone else.

Starting a membership-based business NOW means you will have a lot less competition than you would during times when everyone is starting new companies… think about it.

Join me this coming Tuesday as I pull back the curtain on my brand new version of the Create Your Group Blueprint and Tool Kit Program!

Title: Create and Grow Your Membership-Based Business (Version 2.0) – Learn about the latest additions to the CYG Blueprint and Tool Kit Program

Date: Tuesday, September 30 at 11 am (PST), Noon (MST), 1 pm (CST), 2pm (EST)

Call in number: 218-339-4300

My friends, Suzanne Falter-Barns and Jennifer Louden are about to have their 7th Annual Writer’s Spa Retreat, I wanted to make sure you knew before it is sold out:

Save $200 on Your Ultimate Creative Getaway: The Taos Writer’s Spa

Imagine this: Wake up in the beautiful, arid, sage-scented, sunny world of The Mabel Dodge Luhan House in Taos, NM. Join 27 other incredibly creative, fun, inspired women for a breakfast of the best eggs, croissants, grits, smoked bacon, fresh fruit, and pastries you’ve ever had. Drop in for a one-hour Council sharing session that gets you energized for the day. Stay on for a seminar about taming your inner critic or creating the pieces you need to get picked up by a publisher. Then head off for a blissful couple of hours working on your writing … knowing that if you get stuck, Suzanne and Jennifer Louden are right there, waiting to coach you privately as you need it. Then stop for lunch – again, excellent – write a little more, or attend another seminar. Or take a walk into town, with a few of Mabel’s excellent cookies in your pocket. Maybe do a little yoga. Then join others for an excellent dinner, and some amazingly stimulating nighttime activity … or just drop in on a read and chat session.

That is a typical day at the Taos Writer’s Spa in Taos NM with Jennifer Louden and Suzanne Falter-Barns. This year it’s July 26-August 1. It’s been sold out for six years running – and it’s heading that way this year, too. If you think you want to join us, don’t hesitate. Jump in!

As one visitor put it recently …
“I feel like I fell in love with myself, the woman I discovered at the Writer’s Spa! I always knew she was in there but it was wonderful having the help to get her to come out and shine. Your Spa went way beyond my expectations, and let me tell you… I had really high expectations!” –Karen Booy, 2004, 2005, & 2007 Participant

SPECIAL UPDATE: The one single and 8 doubles left are now available for $200 off the listed price – but only until midnight EST, May 15. Don’t miss it! The Taos Writer’s Spa

My friend and colleague, Milana Leshinsky, has created
a 3-day business transformation and acceleration event
for entrepreneurs who sell advice and information.

You qualify to attend if you are a:

- Consultant, coach, or mentor
- Author or speaker
- Service professional
- Information marketer
- Educator or specialist

If you’ve been trying to stop trading hours for
dollars and create a business that works without you,
then you absolutely need to be in Baltimore on October
24-26 at Milana’s Coaching Super Summit.

Here are the details:

http://www.profcs.com/app/?Clk=2575818

Here’s a quick recap of what you’ll learn there:

- Kendall Summerhawk will teach for the very first
time ever her step-by-step process for creating
high-ticket “Platinum-Style” coaching programs.
Ask $5,000, $10,000 or more – and get it!

- James Malinchak will teach you how to get coaching
clients when you speak at workshops, seminars, and
conferences. Walk away with clients every time!

- Milana will share with you exactly how to get from
five to six figures in an expertise-based business;
she’s never taught this before, so this will be an
amazing session!

- Adam Urbanski will take you from a six-figure to
a seven-figure and beyond; he’ll be showing you
several of his million-dollar business models just
for coaches, consultants, trainers, and mentors.

…and much much more! You don’t want to miss this
content-rich AND transformational event for coaching
entrepreneurs – the ONLY business training event
in the coaching industry!

Milana Leshinsky went from a $15-an-hour job to
becoming a first-generation six-figure entrepreneur in
her family. Raised in the Soviet Ukraine, she came to
the U.S. 16 years ago. Without any English or business
experience, she built an information empire in her
industry within just a few short years.

I hope you can come to Baltimore and meet Milana and
her guest experts in person.

Warmly,
Sheri McConnell
