Update: Doug Hay will be joining us again, fully committed to devoting one hour a week to 'practice' and some activity each day and giving his open and honest feedback, beginning March 18th!
Kitty was unable to make this meeting due to work obligations and Troy and I will be in touch with her this week to solicite feedback
Best Things:
Barb: New job stability due to her CFO leaving – 'enter new responsibilities and DRs'
Karen: Got her permit squared away for her consulting business
Seanne: Made great chicken piccata (yep – Seanne cooked…in her own kitchen!)
Troy: His business broker found 3 vending routes for sale
Doug: Got much more done than he expected in taking care of his mom's estate in NY
Gina: Traded an hour of work for an hour of fun errands – to keep 'balance' in her life
Troy and Gina asked Doug Hay for his commitment to time and feedback for teamWANT. He's in with full commitment and is interested in 'getting his life back on track' since dealing with the passing of his mom
Question presented to the group: How did the 'practice' go for 'and then what' or 'the 7 whys'?
Barb: Did some soul searching about her new house – what is my core want? It's about financial security and planning for the future. I want to be sure to celebrate successes along the way. Make sure I'm not living my life for 20 years down the road.
Karen: Getting the house fixed up is really about eliminating the stresses in life (what do you want instead?) I want peace and to sit back and be satisfied and be happy.
Question to the group: How did you find the '7 whys' or 'and then what'? Karen did this in the beginning of her journey to her 'wants'. Barb said, it helped me sort through what was at the heart of what I want. Seanne said, I approached this differently in that I went directly to finding ways to save money. I found 3 ways to save money right away instead of asking 'and then what'. She stayed home this weekend instead of going out and spending money and this made her feel deprived. We discussed this and will help her find a way to replace her OR with AND (Have money now AND save for the future and for an investment in property)
Question: How did you do with the 'practice' questions for 'Determining Success'?
Barb: Explored how she will feel and what she's surrounded by – what she's doing – she journaled about it and it stirred up feelings that when she gets to her 3 core wants she will have internal peace. (She visualized how she will be, feel, etc. living that life) She felt peaceful and calm. She also wants a partner in her life and when she has this peace and calm, her partner will want to be around that person.
Seanne: Still stuck in the 'hows'. G & T – we know that we are asking you to think differently than you ever have. Seanne will work with Karen to do the determining success questions. And, Seanne will help Karen work on her purpose statement.
Way to go accountabilibuddies!
Karen: Without addressing the 'hows' she got a clearer vision of what she wants. It also increased her enthusiasm for opening her own consulting business. In answering the questions, she found that the last question (how will your peers see you when you get what you want) – caused her to realize that what her peers think about her isn't as important as what her clients feel about her.
Barb: Was also challenged answer the questions without addressing the 'hows'.
T&G assured everyone that the 'hows' will come later and after we have been all the way around the Infinite Success Loop and they have seen victories they will be more confident that this process does work in this fashion
SOS:
Troy presented the overview of the SOS step. Remember it's
ALL ABOUT YOU!
Steps one and two were presented (see the web site for the detailed worksheets)
Practice: Take a couple of your wants and use steps 1 and 2 of SOS to begin the final step in the Dream Circle
Practice: To begin the Dream Circle again – take a look at your initial 'wants' and add anything you 'want' – remembering the power of AND.
Announcement: We will be adding one or two new members next week. We are looking forward to their input and feedback and know they will be a valued and integral part of the team
