RECURUITING MEMBERS FOR ENCORE MASTERMIND* GROUP #2

We have launched our first Encore Mastermind Group and are recruiting members for a second group. Participation involves a commitment to meet for 1-1/2 hours every two weeks at a day and time agreed upon by group members. There is no fee to join, but donations are encouraged.

If you are interested in participating or just want to learn more, please email Tim Lybarger at [email protected].

*A mastermind group is a peer-to-peer mentoring group used to help members solve their problems with input and advice from the other group members. The concept was coined in 1925 by author Napoleon Hill in his book The Law of Success and described in more detail in his 1937 book Think and Grow Rich.

Start Small, Dream Big: The Secret to Accomplishing Life-Changing Goals

WRITTEN BY LIESL ULRICH-VERDERBER
Video (6:02) (6:46)

What’s your loftiest goal in life? For Dave Jacka, after losing 94% of his physical function, his lofty goal was simply to get himself into bed unassisted. 25 years later, he became the first person with quadriplegia to fly solo around Australia. Dave’s story as a boundary breaker can help each of us attain our biggest goals, whether that’s landing our dream job, growing our retirement fund, or being accepted into the right school!

“If say you can’t do something, you’re probably never going to but if you say maybe–just maybe–you give it a go, and it opens up a whole new world of possibilities for you.” —Dave Jacka
