			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I travel and meet you I am overwhelmed by your resilience and attitude.</p>
<p>In spite of a crazy economy and challenges that none of us could have imagined just a few months ago, you remain optimistic, enthusiastic and committed to making your lives better.</p>
<p>I believe it is timely that we begin collecting our shared experience and mentoring one another through our common interests.  If for no other reason than to know that we are not alone in facing these current challenges and that answers to life’s challenges exist.  I have found many, continue to search for others and promise to share my personal insight and opportunity with you.  We are, as the humorist Steve Smith, creator of television’s Red Green Show points out  “all in this together.”</p>
<p>I Am Not An Author</p>
<p>I do not think of myself as a writer.  I write to share what works in my own life.  My first book, “Millionaire’s Notebook” was not created in order to find a publisher but as a response to my daughter who didn’t understand the growth of my career.  When I was losing nine jobs in four years, she was too young to remember those days of struggle.  By the time she reached an awareness of what was happening in our life, I was succeeding, but not because anyone handed it to me, because I was humbled, sought the Lord and He directed me to answers and opportunity.  One day she asked me.  “What do I do?”  I created a manuscript of my experience in answer to her question.  That book was published through an accident, or act of God.  And every book that I have written since has been an effort to make sense of what I am being taught and how I am learning to navigate this life.  Along the way I meet people like you, who teach, share and lead my discovery of meaning.</p>
<p>I hope, that as I share my experience and what I have learned to be true and worthwhile with you, that you might avoid some of the mistakes that have derailed my career and happiness.  I am certain that many of you will do an even better job of implementing proven success methods into your lives than I have into mine.</p>
<p>By studying the success process and looking at the lives of successful people from Jesus to Solomon to Gary Smalley, Chuck Norris, Thomas Edison and hundreds of others, I have learned that the principles, strategies, techniques and concepts that guided their success can guide your own.<br />
It is exciting it is to hear what is happening for those of you who implement the Master Strategies of Super Achievers into your lives.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p>•    An international business manager wrote to tell me that the outline for Persuasive Presentation is the most effective tool he has ever used to train employees.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p>•    A telemarketer said to me that she gets more follow up opportunities to make sales now than ever before because she constantly uses emotional word pictures, especially when setting call back appointments.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span><br />
•    A blogger constantly employs nine things to overcome communication barriers in order to grow his audience.</p>
<p>I am thrilled with this opportunity to share our experience with one another and grow a vibrant social network.  I hope that we come to these pages often to share, learn and find a better way.</p>
<p>Steve</p>
