Barbara Sher success team online

“That support is what makes the difference between success and failure: not your attitude, your mantra, or your toothpaste; just lots of ongoing help.”

(from the Barbara Sher Successteam website)

Barbara Sher developed the success team idea already in 1972. Since then they have helped thousands and thousands of people to get jobs they never dreamed about they could have, to travel the world, to change their lives from working as accountant to cowboy or start a refuge for animals, to find the love of their life or finally make their way as a singer. And the amazing thing is, they still work – today maybe even better than back in those days!

This might not be something new and fancy, but why change something that actually is working?

I’m changing ONE thing though:

Traditionally, a success team would get together every week in somebody’s livingroom. Today, most of us have very busy schedules. To find 5-6 people who can commit to meeting 2 hours every (or every other) week for 8 weeks IN YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD might turn out to be easier said than done.

The good news is, we have internet now. As long as we can find a time slot who fits everyone, it doesn’t matter where on the planet you happen to live – on Skype or Google+ we can get together and support each other from all corners of the world :). (A pity we cannot take turns bringing a cake, though 😉 )

OK, but what is this success team-thing, really?

Mademoiselle (the magazine) described it quite on the spot:

“The Success Team, Barbara Sher’s brainstorm, is everything your
family should have been and probably wasn’t.”

So, if your family or closest environment isn’t of the super accepting and supporting kind – or even if they really want to help you, they just don’t know how – and there is something you REALLY want to do, but you don´t manage to make it happen, maybe you would be interested in getting that support somewhere else? Oh, and one more thing – this is totally helpful even if your greatest wish is TO FIND OUT WHAT YOU WANT.

Here´s the description as it looks on the official Success team site:

“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. It will help you figure out what you want, and design a plan of action to get it. It will get you information, contacts and support week after week.
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 can’t find a teacher; someone important cancels an appointment to see you; the bank turns down your loan application…) You’ll run into obstacles that seem insurmountable. (Your family doesn’t think you should be out earning a pilot’s license; you run up against some unforeseen medical bills; you send out 25 manuscripts…and get 25 pink slips in return.)
But you’ll meet with your team every week, and they will keep you going. They’ll brainstorm new solutions to new problems; they’ll introduce you to a cousin who works at NBC; they’ll go with you to that important interview, and wait downstairs and buy you a beer when you’re through. You’ll work on your dream the same way you worked your way through school: by showing up and reporting in. You had certain small assignments you had to complete one at a time; you had the companionship and 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.”

Does this sounds like great fun to you?

Oh, you’re wondering what it costs? Good question! 🙂

You’ll get the opportunity to

work directly with me in a very small group, with access to all my experience from training directly for Barbara Sher herself
get to know 5-6 other awesome people, that’ll probably turn into your BFF’s
8×2 hour “live” meetings on Skype or Google + Hangouts, wich means 16 hours all together
A lot of super helpful material and exercises included
Access to a private FB group where you can ask questions and get support also between the meetings

all for the fancy price of just 180 euro (ca. 240 dollar).

(compare that to the 70 euro/hour I charge for on-to-one coaching, and you’ll see this is a real bargain 🙂 )

Of course you want to do this! Get your address in that box above, to get in front of the queue and make sure you don’t miss the train! (and no worries if you change your mind – this is realy just a very preliminary inquiry)

Looking forward to connect with you! /Ann-Sofi
