Change before you have to

I recently saw this quotation from Jack Welch

“Change before you have to” 
                         

That's a great synopsis of why so many people in this 48Days.net community are thriving - read on.

If you’re new to the 48Days.net community – welcome. This is an amazing group of people who are not content with mediocrity in their work – or anywhere in their lives. You’ll find the members here share their resources and expertise willingly and also share your excitement when you succeed.

We are seeing an explosion of books being published, speakers being booked, coaches filling their schedules, artists finding new ways to market their work, musicians leveraging their talent and creative businesses from podcasting to dry cleaning pickup to muscle car restoration being launched successfully.

Ashley just reminded me our next Write to the Bank live event here at the Sanctuary is coming up March 8-9th. This is our most popular and least expensive live event. We cap it at 48 participants and always have a waiting list for future events. Don’t miss securing your seat for this fun event. Check the link for photo shots to see lots of your friends who have attended.

Each week we feature some of our favorite forum discussions, blogs, groups and members in the Notes on the front page. Please note that those who are featured and highlighted are always selected from those who have a clear picture, are active here in this community and are adding valuable content in some way. No magic or inside track – those are the things we look for.

This week we're highlighting:

Featured Discussion – Spencer Burnside prompted a lively discussion with his post – Ideas for my Podcast. Spencer is focusing on helping all of us in the process of creating video content in his blogs and podcast. Obviously struck a strong area of interest judging from the questions being asked. If you have some expertise to share or questions about adding video to your site, blog or podcast, jump in this conversation.

Featured Blog – We all experience seasons of change in our lives. Some are more challenging than others. Difficult, uncomfortable decisions must be made. Change is not easy for most of us, however, when we realize it’s an opportunity for God to move us into a new season, it can change us in positive ways we never imagined. In A Season of Reflection and Change: Cindy Hirch shares her journey of proper priorities and perspective.

Featured Group – Coach, speaker, author and 48Days.net advisor Kent Julian continues to inspire the Write it Forward group – now our largest and most active group. Many of you have sought out the advice of others and attended the Write to the Bank live event and now have your own very real book to share your message. We have a growing list of authors. Will this be your year to finally bring your book to life?

Featured Member – Our featured member this week is Adam Stovall from Atlanta, GA. Adam was just here for the Coaching with Excellence live event. In the area with him were his wife and 8 children. When they travel they have to rent a house rather than staying in a hotel. But don’t waste any time feeling sorry for them and the extra challenges of having such a big family. Adam is charting out the next “season” in his life as a committed husband, dad and provider. Having been in the struggling banking world, he now has a separation date identified along with a nice severance package. Rather than just finding that next corporate job, Adam is positioning himself as a coach – with a clear plan and timeline. A great example of taking advantage of unexpected changes rather than feeling victimized by them.
