Welcome to W.I.N. Clusters

Treat Yourself Like Royalty, get support for your dreams through a W.I.N. Cluster^sm.  W.I.N. is an acronym for With Inspirational Networking. Because, let's face it, books, tapes, and virtual reality, can get us only so far; in order to reach our goals we need ongoing support from a community of likeminded people.

My W.I.N. Cluster philosophy is inspired by Napoleon Hill’s mastermind principles and his book Think and Grow Rich, where he states “Thoughts have the peculiar power of becoming their physical equivalents,” and

  Milton Olson’s Lessons From Geese.

“As each bird flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird following.  By flying in a “V” formation, the whole flock adds 71% greater flying range than if the bird flew alone. - Lesson People who share a common direction and sense of community, can get where they’re going quicker and easier because they are traveling on the thrust of one another.

When ever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to fly alone, and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the “lifting power” of the bird immediately in front. - Lesson:  If we have a much sense as a goose, we will stay in formation with those who are headed where we want to go (and be willing to accept their help as well as give ours to the others).

When the lead goose gets tired, it rotates back into formation and another goose flies at the point position. - Lesson It pays to take turns doing the hard tasks and share leadership.  With people, as with geese, we are interdependent with each other.

The geese in formation honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed. - Lesson We need to make sure our honking from behind is encouraging and not something else.

When a goose gets sick or wounded or shot down, two geese drop out of formation and follow it down to help and protect it.  They stay with it until it is able to fly again or dies.  Then they launch out on their own, join another formation, or catch up with the flock. - Lesson:  If we have as much sense as geese, we too will stand by each other in difficult times as well as when we are strong.”
