Happy Fall! Welcome to all of our new subscribers, and thanks to those of you who responded to the Special SOS Monthly about reaching out...
As you know, I’m all about changing the world. I have a really big vision, really big goals, and really big plans. I want each woman to feel powerful as an individual, and all women to imagine what they can do if they all exercise their power together.
But you know, sometimes the little stuff can really get in the way.
Forget Changing the World! Build a Batmobile
Some days I think, "How the heck am I going to motivate women to change the world, if I can't even get my daughter to put her clothes away?" Or, “How can I invest in my self and/or my business if I’m paying $3.36 a gallon for gas?” Or, “How can I possibly think about making my life better when it doesn’t even come close to being as bad as life has gotten for people on the coasts of Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi and Alabama?”
How about you? Think about your power to change the world. What’s the first thought that comes into your head? Do you think, “I’m going out to create new laws to clean up the beaches in my community?” Or is it, “I can’t even find the time to wash the kitchen floor!”
Are you thinking, “Right on! I can raise $5,000 for breast cancer treatment.” Or is it more like, “How am I going to get enough money to get the car fixed?”
The world right now is not very conducive to big, positive change. War, natural disaster, affordable housing shortages, rising gas prices—I’m sure you can come up with your own list. So you think, “How I can possibly conceive of changing the world, when I can’t even clear off my desk?”
And you know what? You're right. So forget about making the big leap into changing the world for the time being. Focus changing your desk’s world. I turn to Batman for illustration.
In Batman Begins, we see Bruce Wayne's transformation into Batman. And it took a loooooong time. Once he made the decision to be Batman, he did not run out and start changing the world by fighting crime. He first got his own act together. He designed his high-tech suit, he outfitted the Bat Cave, he built the Batmobile. Without any of these, he couldn’t begin to create the changes he wanted to see in the world.
So if the thought of changing the world makes your head spin, first clear off your desk. Or wash the kitchen floor. Or build your Batmobile.
If you're ready to take that small first step toward changing your world, here are some dynamic, cost-effective new groups to get you on your way.
The "SOS 30-Day Tune-Up (Group Edition)" is ideal for those of you who want fast results. This intensive 30-day group program will help you craft clear goals, and give you the tips, tools and motivation you'll need to make this upcoming season the best it can be! A new group starts each month, so it's easy to fit into your schedule. Your Tune-Up also includes the SOS Tune-Up Workbook ($14.99 value) and your own Chanting by Hand Journal ($9.99 value)
Whatever transition you may be going through right now (career, relationship, move, physical, etc.) why not make it a transformation?
"From Transition to Transformation in 90 Days!" will provide you will all the support and motivation you'll need to complete your transformation. Are you ready to confidently step into the spotlight at the end of your tunnel of transition? Don't just get to where you're going, arrive in greatness! Membership in this group also includes a personalized copy of Become Your Own Great and Powerful ($14.95 value, unsigned).
Finally, if you're thinking of writing a collaborative book, "How to Write and Publish a Collaborative Book" can help. You'll learn tips and tools for managing the collaborative writing process, as well as how to keep yourself motivated as you write your own portions of your book. We'll also investigate various options for publishing your book, set goals for marketing and promoting your book. This group program also includes a personalized copy of Become Your Own Great and Powerful ($14.95 value, unsigned).

Looking for Great and Powerful Book Clubs
Are you a member of a book club? Are you thinking about starting a new book club? Have I got a deal for you...
How about making Become Your Own Great and Powerful your club's next selection?
For a limited time, I'll provide copies of Become Your Own Great and Powerful at no cost to any book club (maximum 10 members) that asks. Heck, I'll even personalize them for each club member! All I ask in return is a group review of the book when you're finished reading and discussing it.
This is a great opportunity to bring a powerful selection to your club. Contact me for more info.
