Hi Creators and Big Thinkers!

Aha of the Week

The Difference Between An Association and Continuity Group

With Associations:

When you create the association for a niched group of people, you shoot yourself to the top of the industry. Associations are considered the “go to” place in almost every industry not only for information, but also as the single best place to network and generate new leads.

Think about it. Every business book you have ever read offers the same advice: “Join an association and network”.

With Continuity Groups:

When you run a continuity group (a group with recurring revenues) you are still viewed as a solopreneur of a service-based business. You will not have leverage in your industry nor will the “universe” literally send you leads as they do with associations. Know that your service-based business, no matter how much money you pour into it will ever have the type of attraction as the association you are creating and building for “your people”.

Hi Creators and Big Thinkers!

Welcome once again to all the new subscribers this week!

I want to wish each of you a Happy Valentine’s Day.

To celebrate our love for each other earlier tonight, we went to a new Sushi restaurant near our home with the kiddos. And nothing is cuter than a 2 year old boy trying to use chop sticks by the way.

What’s New:

This week was hectic but it was awesome too. Why? Because of one word. Clarity. I returned from my mastermind meeting in Phoenix last Sunday with a 7 figure plan for one of my most recent companies. And the only reason I “was given” this plan from the universe was because I decided first to let go of other projects and even a few new companies I had already began to build. My mastermind members rocked and they called me on “my lack of passion” for the new projects and in a flash I got it. Once I let go, it only took an hour or so before my brain thanked me for the new “mental space” and I was able to draft up a very doable 7 figure plan in 2009 for the Global Institute of Associations at http://www.giaconnect.com.

I also want to share how I excited I am to formally welcome three new team members this week to Sheri McConnell Companies, Inc. As you know, part of my mission here is to help women become financially independent and I share a special bond with moms as I am one myself… so it is no wonder that all 3 of our new ladies are moms too!

Please help me welcome; Marty Harkelroad our Event Manager, Laura Staten our Client Services Manager, and Kathy Kruesal our Executive Assistant.

To your success,

Sheri McConnell
CEO of the Global Institute of Associations

Hi Creators and Big Thinkers!

Welcome once again to all the new subscribers this week!

I just finished doing group calls for two different programs I run–one call was for the Global Institute of Associations where I help owners of “associations” build and grow their businesses each week and the other was for my monthly 2009 Online Ultimate Leverage Mastermind program. Although I am a little tired from such intense work today, I can tell you I am also energized at the same time.  Here is why:  As I do the work I am meant to do in the world, I attract (by the law of attraction) many entrepreneurs who are also focused on bringing their gifts to the world and creating financial independence at the same time! Be Aware.  So be aware what you focus on… you don’t see successful people focusing on the state of the economy and trying to figure out how to survive. We instead are focused on providing our gifts and being of service to those around us.  And through our choices to focus on what we also want in the world, we actually create the “space” for it to happen.

Weekly News:

My popular program, the Create Your Group Blueprint and Tool Kit is officially off the market as of February 2. Now that I am no longer offering this program, I will have more space in my companies to move into some new directions… so stay tuned to see what is coming up next.

And finally, I am jumping on a plane tomorrow morning to head to Phoenix the rest of the week to join my Diamond Mastermind (a group of other 7 figure entrepreneurs) for some important high-level strategy work on my businesses! I promise to share pictures upon my return.

To your success,

Sheri McConnell
