According to Barbara Sher we have to change our common understanding of why we so often fail to bring our dreams into reality – blaming bad attitude, negative thinking or lack of effort.
In 1976 she launched Success Teams. Trained leaders recruit groups of about 5 or 6 people and lead them through her 8-week workshop for "How to get what you really want, even if you have no goals, no character, and you're often in a lousy mood." Members identify and pursue their wishes in a framework of mutual encouragement, support, ideas for overcoming obstacles, introductions to helpful contacts, and accountability for continued effort.
- Every single one of us can do things that no one else can do, or know someone who can.
- Every single one can teach something good that the other person wants to learn, or knows someone who can.
- The Cure for Sorrow is to Learn Something (meaningful to you).
