The discipline you learn and character you build from setting and achieving a goal can be more valuable than the achievement of the goal itself.

What are Your Dreams for 2008?

 

The SDP is here to support, develop, and promote growth for both you and your business. As we approach the new year of 2008, make this the year that you grow the business of your dreams.  How do you do that?  By starting at step one:  writing It down! color pencils


What is "It" for you?  If you can't put it into words then you really don't understand it...how could you achieve it? 


At The SDP we want to "support" you and your business.  One of our goals for 2008 is to continue that support through "SDP Power Groups" to give you a group of 4 other like-minded professionals who are also dedicated to working "on" their businesses, not just busy working in the business.  We are trying to work through the details of this idea, and welcome some help from the members.  Have any of you been in successful accountability type groups and can give us some useful tips on setting these up?  Please send an e-mail to Kris@TheSDP.com with ideas and offers to help!


Another goal of The SDP for 2008 is to "develop" more webinars for distance learning.  Have you registered for one yet?  Carie Baumann's class is on the Event Calendar now.  Are any of you interested in Tele-Seminars where you only need a telephone to participate?  Do any of you have ideas for more educational seminars that you would like to share with our members?  Please send us those offers and ideas in the educational areas too.


The third area of goals is "promotion".  We long to find effective ways to help connect clients to the professionals who are members of The SDP.  We sure wish Oprah would mention the work we do to help homeowners across the country.  Her 2-day program on the woman with such hoarding issues was incredible.  Peter Walsh offered such insight into that woman's soul.  It was an amazing transformation.  I believe each of you has an amazing, heart-touching story to tell.  The work we do has a transforming affect on not only the home, but also each person who lives there.

 

Let us hear from you.

Something to Add to Your Wish List

n2a motorsWouldn't it be fun to zoom down the highway in this convertible!  It's called a 789 because it's a combination of a 1957, 1958, and 1959 Chevy, built on top of a 2005 Corvette. 

The company is n2aMotors (No 2 alike).  For a mere $135,000 this baby could be yours. Read more about this interesting company, and remember you're also in the "customizing" business of turning houses into homes using some of the old things they have on-hand!

It's good to see that it's not about the price!  Their tagline is "Our only limit is your imagination"
...I like that!
