"Taking Yourself to the Next Level"

The Monthly Newsletter from Don Sardella, Business Development Coach for Financial Advisors – December 2006



To all our highly valued clients and acquaintances:

You may have heard, thought or felt this before, after yet another very challenging year.

Now that it is Holiday Season time, once again, it is also one of the best times of the year to step back and fully refresh, rejuvenate, revitalize, refocus, re-determine and recommit.

To reiterate a key and credible quote:

"...reflection is vital…because burnout is a very real threat

in today's hectic atmosphere, all executives should practice

the new three Rs: retreat, renewal, and return."

from the bestseller, "On Becoming A Leader" by Warren Bennis

What better time could there be to take some time to disengage from work, remember and celebrate the best of 2006’s accomplishments, and reflect upon what’s most important for us as we plan for 2007? Add extra rest, exercise, fine food with family & friends, maybe some good books & a few feature films and we might gain fresh perspective

We do hope your Holiday Season goes well, in whatever ways you choose to invest them, and we also hope you come back in January fired up and chomping at the bit to make good things happen for yourself in 2007 – white hot with passion and fully ready to go.


May I suggest being fully lit up for a banner year ahead?

Have your heart set for 2007 to be a year to beat your best and enjoy the process?

 

Wishing you and those you love

a most productive, prosperous & rewarding 2007.


Always looking to serve you with productive and revenue generating ideas.

Til the next time, I am

Enthusiastically yours,

Coach Don


PS - Previews of coming attractions in 2007?

As many of you may know, earlier this month, I invested a week to be with Dr. Stephen R. Covey and the FranklinCovey organization, to get licensed to facilitate their most comprehensive Leadership Training Curricula to date. Beyond being a phenomenal, once-in-a-lifetime learning opportunity with many other colleagues, there is be a unique offer that you may want to consider as they are launching this program across the US.

Whether for your personal and/or professional development, your family and friends, your business or your pursuits outside of work, I encourage you to look into this program.

The Debut of “Leadership: Great Leaders, Great Teams, Great Results”, is the new 3 day training offered by Franklin Covey at the minimal cost of $299. (over 80% discounted)

This special offer is only available for the next couple of months in select locations throughout the US. For more information and for a list of the locations and dates of Leadership Launches across the country, contact Don at don@leadfromwithin.com

According to Dr. Stephen R. Covey, the difference between a good leader and a great leader is like the difference between night and day. Good leaders get results. Great leaders get great results in a distinctive and sustainable way. Great Leaders are characterized by:

                • High Trust

                • Distinctive Contribution

                • Sustained, Superior Performance

                • Intensely Loyal Customers

                • Winning Teams and Organizations

On a final note, a quote from Dr. Stephen R. Covey, for you to consider:

"The call and need of a new era is for greatness. It's for fulfillment, passionate execution, and significant contribution. Tapping into the higher reaches of human genius and motivation in today's world requires a new mind-set, a new skill-set, a new tool-set. Leadership delivers on this imperative."
