"The Success Team, Barbara Sher's brainstorm, is everything your family should have been and probably wasn't."-Mademoiselle Magazine, 1977
A SUCCESS TEAM is a small, ongoing group made up of about 6 people like you. The people on your team will help you make your dreams come true. Why? Because you’re going to do the same thing for them. Your team will keep you moving until you discover and achieve your dream.
A SUCCESS TEAM usually has 5-6 members who meet every week for 8 consecutive weeks. Your group members will help you figure out what you want, and design a plan of action to get it. They will help you find information, contacts and support week after week – as you do the same for them.
"Strong people stand up for themselves, but stronger people stand up for others." - Chris Gardner
And that’s the magic secret. That’s why SUCCESS TEAMS work where other systems don’t. Wishes and dreams need a lot of friends, because it takes more than desire to make a wish come true. You need ongoing, sustained effort over an extended period of time. You need support and encouragement when times get tough, and you run into the inevitable interruptions, setbacks, and fears that are part of every journey to the top. You see, life happens, and challenges are inevitable – but you don’t have to face them alone.
You will meet with your team every week and brainstorm new solutions to new problems; you will tap into each other’s networks and work on your dreams. Each member is committed to showing up and reporting in, completing assignments on time and sharing the encouragement that humans need. That support is what makes the difference between success and failure: not your attitude, your mantra, or your toothpaste; just lots of ongoing help.
