Further reporting of my Renewed journey, Week One, on the Master Key Master Mind Alliance.
This has been an exciting week, diving back into my favorite studies from the past 50 years.
Mark and Davene Januszewski rekindled my fire with their 2014 Course, known as Master Key Master Mind Alliance. Learn more about Mark and the dynamic Davene at The Worlds Laziest Networker
Over the years Mark and I have shared our love of the direction presented by Napoleon Hill and Charles Haanel. The 2014 Master Key Master Mind Alliance course is an intense, 6 month study and discussion of anyone, with the burning desire can alter their Lifestyle to attain that which THEY define as important.
During the first week we are directed to Write our Definite Major Purpose, read Scroll ONE, 3 x’s daily from Og Mandino’s 1968 classic, The World’s Greatest Salesman and Week One of The Master Key, by Haanel.
This exercise brought a sense of joy and also a bittersweet feeling.
For the past decade my lifestyle slowed down and I enjoyed helping others, following my declared 1960 Definite Major Purpose, Enjoy Freedom and Help Others.
The FREEDOM came through a career involved in SALES, the most honorable profession a person can choose. If we think about it almost everything good that has occurred in our lives is the result of a sale. And the Income derived from Sales allowed me to invest time and capital in helping others, within MY defined parameters.
I believe one reason Selling was an enjoyable and effortless road was taking to the exciting ideas, such as expressed by Og Mandino below
By the way, clients who always deliver more than expected experience continued increase in Sales and profits…amazing!
The bittersweet feeling came from my losing connection to my True Authentic Self. That easily occurred when I accepted a position with a company to increase their Sales. But the Corporate environment was in direct opposition to my usual routine and business practice.
And I sensed my getting lost in the noise of the Environment.
That NOW behind, I am looking forward to the next 26 week with Mark, Davene and the other 400 students embarking on a journey of Positive Habit, Belief in Self and declaring our True Authentic Selves.

This a great post, but the kicker for me is towards the end about ” But the Corporate environment was in direct opposition to my usual routine and business practice.
And I sensed my getting lost in the noise of the Environment.”
This kind of “in touch” with self, honesty and vulnerability you show is the direct path to greatness…wow, I hope others get the integrity compass is there, for all of us….but not everyone has the courage to own it and do the next right thing…BRAVO!
Really appreciate your comment Mark
Not the easiest process, as you well know.
But over the years I have been blessed with the opportunity to work with those who can shoulder the concept of SELF.
We cannot give that which we do not OWN
I believe the younger generation will adapt to this concept more readily than the majority of the Self-Centered “Boomers”
That could be a controversial statement…~smile
Not controversial to me at all! At last I find the way into your blog! Tried a few times this week.
Two important ideas here: the integrity compass from Mark and that we can not give which we do not own from you Chuck.
I want to tell you how important it is that you have reached out to me. I had techno probs getting back to you. Now even sure how I got this far this time, but once done I will replicate. You are a good man Charley Brown. Elaine Archambeau
I so appreciate your comments. As I mentioned earlier, 1/2 of my, now 54 year old Definite Major Purpose, is Helping Others.
The past 10 years have been directed to that end and I enjoy sharing ideas and skills with those owning a BURNING desire to enjoy a journey to Abundance, designed by Them for Them.

I am glad you had your fire re-kindled Chuck and thank you for pointing me towards Charles Haneel’s book which I had heard of many times but never read.
Thank you also for reminding me about Og Mandino’s classic The Greatest Salesman in the World” which I have had since 1980. That, my 3 original Dale Carnegie books and Napoleon Hill’s classic have survived all my upheavals in Africa.
Well read and slightly tattered they may be, (as is their owner) but they are now safe in my book collection here in Canada.
Thank you so much, Peter, for the comment.
It is amazing how chance circumstances, and now Social Media, can re-direct our attention and prosperity.
For some reason I have not been impacted by recent Books as much as the classic, and of course, Drucker and Stephen Covey.
Stephen Covey’s the 8th Habit has become another “next to me” Read.
looking forward to sharing more
