Got Powerhouse Plexus?

I love words. I chew them up, digest them, integrate them and tear them up. My word this post is “plexus”. I’ll get to why in a second.

What is a plexus? I’m glad you asked:

plex⋅us

/ˈplɛksəs/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [plek-suhs] Show IPA

Use plexus in a Sentence

–noun, plural -us⋅es, -us.

1. a network, as of nerves or blood vessels.
2. any complex structure containing an intricate network of parts: the plexus of international relations.

Origin:

1675–85; < NL: an interweaving, twining = L plect(ere) to plait, twine + -tus suffix of v. action

Now, why this word at this time? I was searching for the exactly perfect word for a new group I want to start. I was privileged just recently to participate in a Summer School for Entrpreneurs offered by Paige Stapleton and Brian Stark that absolutely rocked my world! The biggest tip the 20+ speakers shared (every single one of them!) was that you need to network and connect with others who can be mentors and partners with you. You can’t create your entrepreneurial empire by yourself. It just doesn’t happen.

I say it takes a T-E-A-M (Tell someone else what you’re doing – Enroll someone else to help – Ask someone else how they did it – Move forward together).

Then I found “plexus”. This works much better.

So, I guess what I have been doing is created a people plexus; a network of cogent powerhouses who are all working towards a common goal – success by service. The members of my Powerhouse Plexus are men and women who come from heart, who see what’s missing and guide others to fill in the gaps and live powerful, passionate and possibility-filled lives. For me, anyone who comes to me as a client is one of the most wonderful gifts, because those people have recognized that the next step for them is a partnership of excellence and that they don’t have to do it all alone!

Have you started creating your Powerhouse Plexus yet? Here are the requirements for mine – start making your list of attributes to find yours.

1. The participants in the plexus need to have recognized the need for partnership
2. The participants in the plexus need to have a sense of something bigger in the marketplace and not come from a scarcity mentality*
3. The participants in the plexus must be willing to help, and lastly
4. The participants in the plexus must be proactive, personally powerful and living their own dream.

So? Who’s in your Powerhouse Plexus? Am I?
