Phoenix 2% Club
Friday, July 29, 2011 at 3:57PM Support is always a blessing. For me, staying in the energy of the Peak Potentials classes can be difficult for a few reasons. One is that I live alone, so I don't have someone around me to reinforce what I've learned. Another is that, here in Sedona, there is a big split between the up and coming or wealthy crowd and those who aren't particularly driven or interested in generating wealth.
There are very limited opportunities to break into the local wealthy group, even if you do already have some wealth. As a result, most of the people that I hang out with typically have less than I do, so they don't help to stretch me - I tend to make them stretch. That's neither good nor bad, it's just what is.
The Phoenix 2% Club is a group that Jeff Fagin started. It's a group of Phoenix-based people who meet in person monthly and hang out online in a Facebook group in between meetings. The members of the group reinforce the thoughts and behaviors associated with success. They share successes, celebrate wins, help as a mastermind group to give others ideas when they get stuck, and generally help to boost each other up the ladder of success.
Nice! I went to my first meeting on Wednesday evening and it was a lot of fun. They run the meeting Peaks-style, with lots of high fives, participating out loud, plus informative and entertaining speakers who have been trained to engage the audience with enthusiasm. It was very enjoyable and one of the members gave us plenty of concrete ideas for writing articles and blog posts that I found very helpful. So, you'll probably be seeing more from me here in the future.
In the meantime, I'm sharing this partly to say that if you don't have a support group in your area of like-minded folks who are cheering each other on, you might want to consider starting one yourself. It can start out small - our group had about 50 people in attendance and several people mentioned to me that it was the largest turnout yet. So you don't have to start with a huge crowd, a small pack meeting in someone's home or business might work better to start with.
I may even take my own advice and start a group closer to home...
