Huge News!

 

Gina and Troy have decided to make the WANT Club a business venture.  The Official name is now “Team WANT” and they have incorporated!

Their goal is to develop a network of people who want to decide what they want and how to get it. 

They want to make the 9 current members of the WANT Club the pioneers so they will be asking the current membership a few things:

• Not everyone in the club has gotten what they want.  Gina and Troy want to be sure that the members are giving their full participation in regards to meetings, honesty, openness and energy.
• To practice with the tools that have been presented and provided
• To keep an open mind

 

They are asking for an agreement from all members to let them know:

• What works?
• What is not working?
• What can be done differently?
• How the processing can be tweaked to work?

 

Member’s comments

 

Kitty – likes structure, wants to know what to expect, very excited

 

Karen – feels that some of the processes are more comfortable for some then for others and this makes some of the tasks difficult because they do not come naturally.

 

Jim – feels as though he has been accomplishing things and going forward in his life.  He wants to participate as fully as he can and is open to all of the processes.

 

Barb – interested in the processes and structure.  Feels that openness is good for her.  Has been learning from the processes and likes the new tools that have been provided.  Thinks that we are all learning together and that putting structure in place is good.

 

Doug H – Says that structure will give rhythm where needed.  He has had a year of emotional upheaval and has gone through a lot.  Thinks that we are all stumbling in a forward direction and getting into a good rhythm.

 

Troy - they do not want to be in a position of wielding a whipping stick.

 

Kitty – feels that coaching is an important tool.

 

Troy - said that they want us to live it and breathe it and that driving yourself forward will be instrumental in providing the tools for success.

 

Gina – the goal of the club is for people to figure out what you want and to go out and get it.  This requires full participation.  Troy and Gina are asking us to hold each other accountable.

 

Barb – said “what I hear you saying Gina is that you want each person to get that they want and as we put together processes we are to tell you what works and what doesn’t and what will be marketable.”

 

Troy – wants all to be open and honest with our feedback.

 

Gina – has seen how some processes work and others do not.

 

Jim – said that he will be sending out an email with his resume attached this weekend and needs us to give feedback.  This will help him with his WANT.

 

Kitty – is digging on the homework assignments and gets all focused on all the resources that we have.

 

 

Other News

 

If anyone has any questions, comments or thoughts to please let Troy and Gina know so they can tweak things to make them work.

 

The group is very important to all.  If anyone does not want to play it will not hurt anybody’s feelings.
