Making The World A Better Place

While there is plenty going on in the world that is truly distressing, I still believe we can make a difference, as Margaret Mead put it, "one person" at a time. Last year, I asked you to consider how you could do something to "Pay It Forward" (and I have been invited to speak next week at the WCR Meeting in Chico, CA with that as the title!). Many of you that had come to my retreat or attended my talks, took some seed money and multiplied it for good.

I also have recommended that you watch the movie The Secret for some inspiration and a reminder of what you really can do if you set your mind to it! You can make a difference - Here's a story of one who did! Hugs For Free - and I'm sending one along too!!!!

Today, I have two opportunities for you that can enable you to make that difference in the world. You see, I believe you can make a difference that is unique in the world. No one else has what you have to make this difference. In my coaching, I find my clients are happiest when they are sharing their values with others by making it a little easier in some way for another human being. Most of you do this every day in many ways.

Here are two ways for you to engage:

1. You don't want to miss this amazing TeleSummit:
The 2006 World Changing Business TeleSummit:
"How To Do Great, While Doing Good", being held October 23-26, 2006 (or at your convenience by audio tape).

Learn the Formula for Success in the 21st Century:
Financial Giving +Innovative Business Practices +Value-based Leadership=Success
14 Incredible Speakers will inspire and empower you.

For the full story, visit my blog or simply visit the site.

2. The WebWomenGivingCircle in support of More Magazine's $1 Million Initiative for CARE* have created the Take an Agent To The Top Raffle with over $45,000 in real estate tools and services.

To support our initiative to raise, $100,000 this year, get your tickets now!
Every $20 ticket is a winner (there are valuable premiums just for buying 1, 3 or 6 tickets).

On Nov. 18, 6 lucky people will be awarded incredible packages from our wonderful sponsors.
(We will only be selling 6,000 tickets.)

*About CARE: CARE is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty. They place special focus on working alongside poor women because, equipped with the proper resources, women have the power to help whole families and entire communities escape poverty. Women are at the heart of CARE's community-based efforts to improve basic education, prevent the spread of HIV, increase access to clean water and sanitation, expand economic opportunity and protect natural resources. CARE also delivers emergency aid to survivors of war and natural disasters, and helps people rebuild their lives. If you would like to donate directly to CARE, instead of participating in the raffle, you can do so here: CARE

You know, you CAN make a difference, but you do need to act! :>) You can read all of this and think, "that's nice" or you can click on one of the links and get involved.
You see, your $20 ticket purchase or your registration to the TeleSummit will actually help change someone's life.

And, of course, the wonderful energy that is produced when you are doing good, has that butterfly affect of rippling out, making a difference and making the world a slightly better place, which then comes back to you. Or, as it is sometimes called, The Attraction Principle.

Thank you for being part of my community of friends. I am blessed to be connected to you.
