From
the Desk of: Sherrin Ross Ingram
Dear
Friend,
As
a strategic planning specialist for
more than 15 years (you can learn about me at www.sherrin.com), I've had the privilege of preparing strategic plans
and facilitating the implementation of those plans for organizations of
various sizes. I've witnessed what works to get strategies
implemented and what does not work for most people. This experience has ingrained in me this indisputable
fact:
The success of any strategic plan comes down to the quality of
the strategies and the skill, motivation and willingness of the
individuals implementing the plan to be held accountable for
results.
What
this means for you is, if you want real and lasting success, you've got to
have the right strategies, skills, motivation, and a willingness to be
held accountable for your results.
I
developed for my
company, The International Center for Strategic Planning, one of the
most comprehensive support and accountability programs available on the
market for its larger corporate clients. Now, you don't have to one of my
large corporate clients to get access to this breakthrough program.
I have painstakingly tailored my corporate
program into one that achieves the same breakthrough achievements for
individuals and small business owners as it does for large
corporations. The Strategic Thinker's Inner Circle is that program!
The
Strategic Thinker's Inner Circle's breakthrough program is unlike any
other program of its kind because it systematically focuses on three primary
objectives that drive achievement of practically any goal:
(1)
Develop and reinforce STRATEGIC Decision-Making Skills and core principles
and skills so that you select the right strategies for your goals and are able
to consistently make supportive decisions when dealing with the day-to-day
realities of your personal or business life;
(2)
Develop a customized, personal strategic plan with
the right strategies for your goals regardless of whether the goals are
for your personal or business life ; and
(3)
Develop a strategic implementation plan that includes a comprehensive
support and accountability program to insure the strategies are
actually executed.
Strategic
Thinking + Strategic Planning + Strategic Implementation =
EXECUTION
AND ACHIEVEMENT
(These are the True
Foundation of Success)
You

Gold and Platinum.

Before
I describe the membership levels,
let me first tell you why the
Inner Circle program is so
effective.
I've
combined the two most powerful
tools for achievement (Real
Strategic Planning + MasterMinding) into one
comprehensive program. Plus, I've added in a system for the
development and reinforcement of
core success principles and skills and a
customizable support and
accountability system. All
of these components
synergistically combine to help
you produce the most effective
results possible in the shortest
amount of time.
You
simply will not find another
personal achievement program with
all of these components combined
so effectively. Here 's why.
The
Power of True Strategic Planning
True
strategic planning is more than developing goals and deciding how to achieve them.
It’s a systematic and continuous process of obtaining and
evaluating information, making strategic decisions, implementing
strategies designed to achieve a developed vision, and measuring the
results. All successful businesses do some form of strategic
planning. However, you don't have to be a business to benefit from
strategic planning. The same benefits of strategic planning are
available for your personal life and for small businesses who want to
become larger. When done on an individual level, strategic planning
provides the:
-
Ability
to break through barriers and overcome challenges that limit personal
development and career advancement
-
Ability
to recognize and counteract
sabotaging false assumptions and
habits
-
Ability
to make decisions that expand
choices and opportunities
When
true strategic planning is done on an individual level, it serves
as a catalyst for consistent strategic action. Consistent
strategic action is the foundation of achievement.
Surviving
and thriving during rapidly changing and challenging times requires having
a personal strategic plan that addresses the root causes of challenges,
provides realistic strategies for achieving goals, and incorporates a
proven method for getting things done fast. Without a comprehensive
personal strategic plan, you may lack focus and are more likely to make
decisions that limit choices and opportunities, personally and professionally.
I
know exactly what it takes to put together and execute a powerful
strategic plan. That's why I'm known as America's Leading Power
Strategist. I formed the The Strategic Thinker’s Inner Circle
to give hard working, success-minded people like you access to the power
of true strategic plan on a personal level. Gold
and Platinum members work one-on-one with
me to develop a personal strategic plan that breaks through barriers, sets
real goals, and has a real strategy to get things done fast. Platinum members
additionally have a
one-on-one day with me and a MasterMind group to fine tune their strategic
plans.
The
Power of MasterMinding
The
right MasterMind group is hands down one of the most powerful tools for
advancing achievement available to anyone. The MasterMind concept was made
famous by Napoleon Hill, in his famous book Think and Grow Rich,
almost a hundred years ago. After interviewing Andrew Carnegie, Henry
Ford, Thomas Edison and hundreds of the most successful people of his
time, Hill reported that they all shared a common denominator—the
support and power of other people in a "MasterMind" group.
According to Hill, a MasterMind is the "The coordination of
knowledge and effort of two or more people, who work toward a definite
purpose, in the spirit of harmony." He went on to say that ""No
two minds ever come together without thereby creating a third, invisible
intangible force, which may be likened to a third mind."
The
power of a MasterMind Group lies in aligning yourself with others who not
only have a burning desire to overcome known and unknown challenges that
separate them from the success they want, but they also have
demonstrated the willingness to go the extra mile and invest greatly
in themselves to achieve their goals.
I
personally have been a member of several MasterMind groups and am
currently a member of two of them. I also regularly facilitate them. The
ideas and contacts I received from my MasterMind groups have been (and
continues to be) pure gold. It would have taken me years, if ever, to get
the same insights and connections. So, I know first-hand that Napoleon
Hill was right about the power they offer.
The
downside of the MasterMind concept is that Hill gave the impression that
the coming together of any group of people could yield the powerful
MasterMind benefits. And, he didn’t provide instructions on how to set
up a MasterMind to have maximum impact. I have learned the hard way (so
you don’t have to) that many MasterMind groups are a waste of time. I
now know exactly what it takes to make a MasterMind group successful and
worth your time: the right structure and the right combination of truly
success-minded, purposeful people. Both of these components are available
through The Strategic Thinker’s Inner Circle.
Trying
to find the right people for a MasterMind group on your own is the hardest
part of having a successful group. This is especially true if you tend to
work alone and do not consistently network with successful people. Even if
you know others who may be right for the group, having the right structure
is equally important.
Now,
are you ready for this? Here’s something else that I’ve learned the
hard way and is now ingrained in me … the right MasterMind group does
not need to meet often and when they do meet, it is face-to-face. In fact,
the most successful MasterMind groups I know of (and I know of many) only
meet twice a year. Their meeting dates are written in stone on the
calendars of its members (which are never more than six … usually four).
I
know this contrary to what is generally promoted by many authors and web
sites about MasterMind groups. This is because these individuals equate a
MasterMind group with a brainstorming, mindmapping or accountability
meeting. I regularly do brainstorming and mindmapping sessions, so I know
that these tools are valuable. And, needlessly to say, I believe
accountability is a key component in successful implementation of a
strategic plan. But these types of meetings are not the same as a true
MasterMind group meeting. A true MasterMind group doesn’t just help you
think of new ideas or give you feedback on old ones. A true MasterMind
group forces you to answer tough questions that propel you to think
through and refine core strategies. If properly structured, you’ll leave
the right MasterMind group meeting with a more finely tuned strategic plan
to implement.
So
here’s how MasterMinding works for Platinum members in The
Strategic Thinker’s Inner Circle. There are between four and six
members in a group. I hand select every member of each group. From our
planning and coaching sessions, I am able to ensure that every member has
a clear focus and an existing game plan before being selected for a
particular group. MY DOING THIS IS CRUCIAL. It is critical that every
person comes prepared and is able to meaningfully contribute to the
entire meeting. Every face-to-face group meeting is facilitated by me to
ensure that discussions and topic remain focused and that every person
gets quality and comprehensive time in the "hot seat" before the
group.

STRATEGIC Decision-Making®
and Other Core Success Principles and Skills
Successful
implementation of a personal strategic plan requires the ability to consistently
make supportive decisions on a daily basis. Since not all situations can
be anticipated, it’s imperative to learn how to make STRATEGIC decisions
all the time. However, it unlikely that you were ever formally taught how
to make decisions, let alone STRATEGIC decisions. Therefore, you may be
unknowingly making
decisions that limit your choices, personally and professionally.
Undermining and sabotaging decision-making skills carry into all areas
of life and business where it prevents fulfillment of your
mission and limits opportunities for personal and career advancement.
Every
month, I send current Inner Circle members
a CD packed tips, tools and insights to learn about and reinforce STRATEGIC Decision-Making®
principles and techniques and other core success skills, such as time
management, communication, negotiation, work-life balance, and so
on. Each month's CD is sent along with an action guide. These tools allow members to
repeatedly reinforce the information and incorporate it into their
strategic plans.
Gold
and Platinum members have additional opportunities to learn how to
incorporate STRATEGIC Decision-Making®
principles and techniques
and other core success skills into their strategic plans through their
one-on-one telephone strategy sessions. Platinum members have a
one-on-one day with me and a MasterMind group to develop a plan to apply
core success principles and techniques.
Customized
Support and Accountability
Here’s
something most strategic planning consultants won't tell you. Ultimately, it’s not about a strategic plan … it’s about strategic
action. The strategic plan must be made into a practical, relevant and
regularly usable tool that serves as a catalyst for strategic action. If
the strategic plan does specifically show you how to transition into
sustained action, it’s a waste of time and money.
The way the strategic plan
becomes a catalyst for sustained strategic action is to integrate a
carefully crafted, comprehensive, and customizable support and maintenance
program into the strategic plan itself. This is exactly what Gold and
Platinum members of The Strategic Thinker’s Inner Circle
get ... a support and maintenance program that
keeps them on track and consistently completing critical tasks and
objectives.
THE
REAL QUESTION ...
In the final analysis, it's not a
question of whether you need all
of these components to achieve
your personal and business goals
faster and easier than you ever
imagined ... because you do. The
most successful people in the
world have personal strategic
plans and are part of some form of
a MasterMind group. The real
question you must answer is are
you going to figure all this stuff
out and do it yourself or do you
want it done for you? Or, do want
a mixture of both? All of these
options are available to you as a member of The Strategic Thinker’s
Inner Circle.
However, only you can
decide which membership level is
right for you: Bronze, Silver, Gold or
Platinum.
So,
I am officially inviting you to become a member of The Strategic
Thinker’s Inner Circle. Take
a look at what's available with each membership level and decide which one
will best help you achieve your goals faster and easier than you ever
imagined.
