**__ Team Leader - Donna McLean - Beaufort, SC - donnamclean03@gmail.com __** Hi, I love working on projects with a team of people with creative ideas and a variety of talents needed to insure a successful outcome. I am easy to work with and enjoy helping and encouraging others. I love exploring new ideas and am told my enthusiasm is contagious and helps others to stay motivated as well.

I grew up as a military brat. My father retired from the Marine Corps during his last duty station in Beaufort SC and I married a military man. I believe the exposure to military life helped me learn to be flexible and adapt to new situations quickly.

I am married. My husband I and have 5 children, 7 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild between us.

We are both retired from our careers in Beaufort SC, a coastal town. I have been a virtual fitness coach for the past few years. I always tell people I am retired but not reclined. We both actively volunteer in our community and church. We love traveling, camping, working in our yard, enjoying friends and family, a good book and a nice day out on the river or at the beach.

I am a woman who has worn many hats from positions as a licensed hair dresser, lower level clerical positions, administrative positions, showroom sales, executive positions, i.e., executive director of a non-profit and owner/operator of 4 business which includes auto painting and body work, real estate company (I am a licensed broker), Douala services and wedding planner.

After reading over the information on triangles and the different positions, I chose the position of team leader. I have served in many leadership positions in the past and although at this point I am not fully aware of what we will be asked to do in our group, I feel confident by building a team of members that have a desire to consistently learn, like to be challenged, are self-starters, always enjoy growing, don't give up easily and have a wide variety of gifts and talents that can be used to accomplish our goal, there is no doubt together we will build a great team. With members of a team that I just described, I believe my job as team leader will only be to encourage, help the group stay dedicated, committed to the taskat hand, and motivated when the going gets tough. I hope, like me, you took the time to watch the YouTube presentation on joining a triangle. __** ~ Passion Paragraph ~ **__

In my younger years I believe my passions were geared more towards my professional life. All the many careers I’ve had in the past started as an interest, and once ventured, they created a passion in me. I was doing something I wanted to do, which developed into a love for my job. Hence, I worked hard. I became passionate about learning all I could, so I could demonstrate to my clients, customers, and employers that I was competent, confidant, and qualified to serve them.Professionally, I believe as I go through the process of determining my goals, defining my perfect job and establishing my unique talents I will once again have a passion in my newly found vocation with Lifebushido, but today I would say my overall passion is to honor God by seeking His guidance and direction in all that I am passionate about both professionally and personally, as I seek to find a perfect balance in those things.

Finding balance in the things I’m passionate about can be a difficult task. Today my top three personal passions are faith, family and fitness.

Faith - because I grow more and more passionate in seeking to have a closer walk with God. He has proved to me time and time again that I can always turn to Him regardless of what I am dealing with. Time spent in worship, with my church family and serving is very important to me.

Family - because after spending most of my life devoted to working long hours, at the sacrifice of my family, I have grown passionate about spending as much quality time as possible with my husband, my children and grandchildren.

Fitness - because after losing both of my parents to chronic diseases, as a breast cancer survivor, and reaching retirement age, I have grown passionate about staying committed to regular exercise and healthy diet in order to have the physical and mental ability to do the things I love to do. But, additionally, I am passionate about taking time to nurture my relationships with friends and extended family, become financially secure, travel, and treat myself to rest and relaxation. I believe remembering to always keep God at the head as I strive to find a perfect balance in both my professional and personal life, will ultimately satisfy my overall passion which is to honor Him in all I do.

__** ~ Perfect Job ~ **__

My perfect job would be one where I can work independently yet I have the opportunity to interact with clients or fellow employees to satisfy my social needs, my desire to help others, share ideas and get support both professionally and personally. It would be a job that allows me to have a home office, working part-time and provides flexibility. It would provide some additional income to enjoy traveling and camping with my husband, visiting my children and grandchildren weeks at a time instead of 1 – 2 weeks a year; I would not be punching a clock like some jobs require but would choose to work my most productive work hours which are 10 – 2. I would also have the freedom to take more than 1 hour for lunch that typically includes wasting 20 mins of that hour driving to the restaurant and back to the office, but instead enjoying a non-rushed lunch with a friend or family member, because I can. My perfect job would provide the freedom to take time for a doctor’s appointment or a personal day without feeling guilty that working for a typical 9 – 5, 40 hours a week (or more) job typically allows or makes you feel. It would also be a job that satisfies my interest in planning and coordinating events and realizing the sense of accomplishment I get when a job is completed to the satisfaction of a client yet isn’t monotonous and provides opportunity to always be growing, improving, and learning new skills.

__** ~ Unique Talents ~ **__

I believe God has blessed me with the following unique talents. I have the ability to juggle several plates at once which my daughter calls an organized multitasker. I have the unique talent of adapting to changing situations quickly and in a positive manner. I am gifted in planning events and coordinating all of the details from beginning to end. I have a gift for being self-disciplined, self-motivated and goal oriented. I have a gift for always wanting to learn and do new things. My son says I can do anything because I’ve worked in so many fields. Variety keeps my creative juices flowing. I have good people skills and manage people well. I have the unique talent of producing happy employees because of my upbeat personality. I am a good listener and encourager and have the unique talent of inspiring others to succeed. I am sensitive to others needs. I have a talent for making others feel good about their achievements and celebrate their successes. I have the unique talent of driving myself to reach my fullest potential. I have the unique gift of truly caring for the needs of others. I have also been told by others I have a gift for writing and public speaking.

• I will go above and beyond to please a client or customer

• I can rapidly adjust to changing situations in a positive manner ( a friend says)

• I have the talent for wanting to produce results and wanting others to succeed (son #1 says)

My Personal Experience as a Triangle Leader for the Dream Makers -

It felt a bit uncomfortable at first signing up to be the Triangle Leader, having no idea what would be expected of me and feeling a bit nervous about whether I’d be able to accomplish the tasks asked of me, whether the members would be happy with me and if I’d do a good job. However, I wanted to insure that I would be hired by Lifebushido and the Triangle Wiki said my chances would be much greater if I signed up to be a Leader, so I did.

I really enjoyed my role because although I was called the Triangle Leader, I felt more like a coach. I am a Beachbody coach, although not active right now, and I found the skills I learned and used to keep my virtual clients motivated during my fitness challenges were very useful during the Triangle. I really see the role of Triangle Leader as someone who motivates, helps others stay on task, builds the team up when the going gets tough, provide answers to any questions the team members have and be a shoulder to cry on if need be.

What I liked most about the Triangle was how our relationship developed over the course of the Triangle. I have grown to love the members of our team. Although we may never meet each other face to face, I believe we have developed a strong bond and lasting relationships. We started our Triangle with 6 members and ended with 4 very strong, dedicated, and committed members who were all willing to step up when asked to help and were self-motivated enough to offer to take on roles that either weren’t filled in the beginning or needed to be re-filled because the original member who had the role decided to leave the group. It was definitely a team effort and I am very proud to be a part of the Dream Makers Triangle.

Being part of a Triangle takes hard work and dedication but I truly believe it is well worth it!

__** Visionary - Tom Watson - Memphis, TN - nostawft@gmail.com **__

Hello! I'm Tom Watson. I am looking to join a Triangle to work with Lifebushido. Im very excited to be here. I think working in teams is a great idea. I have many talents: building websites: website design, graphics, coding HTML, some PHP database and SEO. I have a year of Social Media Management experience, but Graphics and Videography are my favorites. I'm very active on Social Media. I have been self-employed or a business owner much of my sixty year life. I've worked at two call centers. Domino's Pizza order line, and cold calling for donations for the Policeman's Benevolent Association. For the last nine years, I've been working in Advertising and PR to bring awareness to companies that are listed on the US Stock Markets.

__** ~ Passion Paragraph ~ **__

I am passionate about striving for perfection in all I do. I am passionate about being truthful and honest at all times. I am passionate about having a positive attitude no matter what I'm going through. I am passionate about being in complete control of my thoughts, because I now know with certainty that I create my reality by the thoughts I think. I'm passionate about always being kind to others and all life, because that's the underlying message of every great teacher that ever walked the earth. I am passionate about learning all I can about the true nature of God and this wonderful universe. I am passionate when I am teaching others all the things I know how to do, or explain to them about the truths I hold to be true. My passions combined are the path I walk through life. With the ultimate goal of being one with God and attaining enlightenment.

__** ~ Perfect Job ~ **__

My perfect job  would allow me to use my creativity. It would not be boring. It would excite me. It would combine my graphics, videography and social media management skills. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">The <span class="il" style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">perfect job <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"> for me would be creating graphics, presentations, videography and working on websites. Not only would I create these items, I would distribute them all over the <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"> internet on websites, blogs, forums and all social media sites. My <span class="il" style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">perfect job <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"> would be to keep customers websites updated with the latest information, add photo slideshows <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">and promo videos of the items they sell.

__** ~ Unique Talents ~ **__

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">I have two unique talents. I love to teach people the things I know. And I know how to promote companies and the services and products they offer. The lessons I created for my <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">stock market trading system included text lessons and 80 hours of video lessons. I build a website for that line of products. I also created 50 videos for the free beginners course in <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"> trading the stock market using only stock charts. That led to making promo videos for CEO's of publicly traded companies and local businesses. As a social media manager, I created <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">and managed websites, blogs, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube accounts for these clients and promoted their products and services all over the internet. I specialize in turning ideas into <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">visual media. I create picture slideshows, slideshow presentations, then turn those presentations into videos. Video tours of businesses are a great way to get them noticed.

__** ~ Feedback ~ **__ <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Joining the Dream Makers Triangle has been an interesting experience. We have done some fun things like taking personality tests and making goals. It wasn't easy to get started though. Navigating all those wikis was a challenge, but I finally figured out how to go about submitting my application, and moving through all the tasks successfully. It's been interesting reading about all the other Triangle members, and sharing my thoughts with them too. I'm glad we did this, and I know it will pay off in the end. Even though they canceled the Time Management Challenge, I did read all the emails that came and gave them some thought. I do look forward to our next assignment. The one that has to do with a Marketing exercise. I am glad to be here with you all, and plan to stick around to see what's next!

__** Connector - Faith Corbett - Oxford, NC - faith.corbett@gmail.com **__

Hello and thank you for this opportunity. I am both happy and proud that I can have this chance to be part of something positive and inspiring. Being a valued part of a team is very important to me.

I have just ended a six year long career with a company that values their bottom line more than the employees that are responsible for helping them achieve their success. I have worked hard at being an excellent employee as well as a responsible and dedicated person.

I have two adult sons who I raised mostly on my own. I am very proud of the young men they have become. I have been challenged as a mother with my oldest son who is disabled and my youngest son who is on his second term in the Navy. They have made me strong and realize that with love and devotion most anything is possible.

I have always been a creative person who loves the written word. My favorite subject in school was English and I excel in the game Scrabble. This is where the majority of my strength lies. I am passionate about taking thoughts and ideas and forming them into a polished final piece using descriptive words, grammar, and punctuation. I love learning new things and being educated on a variety of subjects, so reading and books are an important part of my life.

I am very proud of my organizational abilities and I find it so much easier to focus and be productive when I make lists and goals on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.Once I set my mind on something I sincerely want to do, I can be quite tenacious and I most likely will find a way to make it work. When I worked for Johnston Ambulance Service as a billing specialist, I was put in charge of one major contract that had been severely neglected. With very little direction or guidance I was able to find, bill, and collect payment on several hundred thousand dollars worth of unbilled revenue. I have worked in retail management and sales for approximately 10 years as well and I find that being a leader comes naturally to me once I learn the ropes.

I seek to be a positive role model in all that I do. I believe that a positive attitude is of utmost importance in the outcome of any situation and that we get back from this universe exactly what we put into it.

__** ~ Passion Paragraph ~ **__

Well, I can honestly say this is the first time I have ever written a passion paragraph. I think it's safe to assume we are not referring to the cute little love notes that were passed around in grade school. I've been sitting here thinking out loud about exactly what I am currently most passionate about in my life, talking to myself while eating pizza rolls (which by the way, I am also quite passionate about). I finally decide on the subject of Mother Earth. Yes, this most definitely seems appropriate. It's extremely hard to pick just one passion, so before I get too far up on my soap box, I will get straight to the point. Our planet is suffering at our own hands, and the time is now to act and take a stand for our home and participate in her recovery. And no, I am not an extremist, just someone who believes in respecting the things we should all be grateful for. I find re-purposing to be one of the most ingenious ideas ever and so beneficial to mankind and the human race. And it seems the most natural thing to do. Not to mention crafty! I'd also like to mention before I wrap up this little paragraph, that I am becoming quite passionate about my experiences so far with Lifebushido. I'm feeling rather creative at the moment and have discovered that I am really enjoying writing and am also feeling very passionate about that, so before I get carried away, I will say thank you for this most enjoyable experience. __** ~ Perfect Job ~ **__ For me the perfect job would provide me with the freedom to express my ideas and use the creative talents I currently have and those I have yet to discover. It would allow me to be flexible on a daily basis and move around frequently. I am unable to sit still for extended periods of time due to RA and fibromyalgia, and being able to get up, stretch, and refresh will greatly increase my productivity, my creativity, and my efficiency. Working from home would allow me to be more focused, organized, self disciplined, and creative. I would help me to work in an environment and at a pace that does not overwhelm me. I would love to wake up each morning as I have lately and look forward to turning on my computer to get started with my day. I want to be inspired and challenged, and feel like I am giving something back to the world and others. I would like to feel productive and appreciated. I like working on my own, but do love the support of a team to share goals and ideas and brainstorming with when appropriate. I would love to go to bed each night feeling satisfied that I have accomplished something important for myself and others involved. In spite of my disabilities, I am confident I still have so much to offer a company and the clients that they serve. __** ~ Unique Talents ~ **__ 1.Organization/ written word, spelling, grammar/ editing, pick out mistakes.

 * I have always had a passion for the written word. I spent my afternoons after school and summer vacation in the local library, scouring for a reading adventure.
 * I have always loved books and the wealth of knowledge and imagination they hold. English was my favorite language in school and I love to challenge my spelling abilities in the game Scrabble.
 * I will almost always spot a spelling, grammar, or punctuation error in anything I read.
 * I have been faced with several health issues in the last two years, as well as a friend and family member. I prefer to stay informed and educated on matters that affect myself and my loved ones.
 * My friends and family often call me the google freak. When armed with accurate information, I can make decisions based on facts.
 * I can take a delima or a challenge that I face either on a business level or personal level and attempt to turn it into a positive learning experience.
 * Problems or setbacks can be doors to better opportunities.
 * I don't always feel passionate about finding solutions to everyday and life challenges and sometimes loose my motivation. But I do realize it is a necessary evil that requires my attention.
 * I try to allow room for motivation and reach out to others when feeling defeated.
 * I would say that I am better at encouraging others than myself. I sometimes struggle with self confidence.
 * However I always try to see the best in people and seldom judge a person because I know that we all have our own faults and limitations.
 * Positive and Optimistic
 * I can be extremely independent sometimes to a fault.
 * I believe strongly in my visions and ideas, but I sometimes lack the tenacity and fortitude necessary to carry through.
 * I should rely more on the team to strengthen and validate.
 * I am very passionate about our earth and protecting it. I read and see so many detrimental things that are being done that is slowly destroying our home for future generations. It saddens me to see the lack of concern some people have.
 * I have awareness and I do recycle as much as possible. But I would love to be more involved than I am. I tend to be spoiled as much as other people.
 * I do believe that society can make more strides in taking an active role in conservation. One idea I have had recently is for major grocery chains to stop using plastic bags and require patrons to use reusable bags. It may cause a temporary uproar, but I think most people would be agreeable long term.
 * I believe proper nutrition and exercise is vital for a healthy, fulfilling life.
 * I do realize that there are roadblocks to achieving this for many including myself. Pain, fatigue, time management, etc can sometimes hinder living a healthy life.
 * I need to create a strict schedule for myself and focus my attentions on my needs and what makes me feel better. Put this first and everything else will fall into line and become second nature.
 * I am a firm believer that what we put into this world and life we get back tenfold. I have experienced this and witnessed this many times throughout my life.
 * We are energy and therefore are a part of this universe and our vibrations attract like vibrations. We are all one in the same in spite of our differences.
 * If we are struggling with negative feelings and emotions, it may be time for an attitude adjustment. There is a saying.....Have an Attitude of Gratitude. Everyone has something to be grateful for.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">I ran across Lifebushido while looking online for a work at home option. After running across Steves' information about the book "The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die" from happy seniors and reviewing the The Bushido Code, I realized this was something that would be worth my time and effort to learn about. As I approach "senior status" I have come to understand that these things are now more important to me than just bringing home a paycheck. At the time I had literally NO experience with any type of virtual work, real estate or marketing. But since I have some time on my hands these days I decided to apply for Triangle participation and learn about LB, discover my unique talents, and determine if this is a fit for me. To my amazement, I was contacted by Donna the very next day! Excited, I jumped right in with both eyes closed determined not to sink, but to swim.I have to admit I was quite lost and overwhelmed at first, but our fearless leader was a rock and provided guidance and patience as our team was formed.I have learned so much about myself through this experience and I have grown very fond of our team.We are all very committed and professional in our communications and approach to the Triangle and have endured the learning curves together. I can honestly say I am proud to be part of the Dream Makers Triangle. The Triangle concept in all is a wonderful way to " get your feet wet", but just like any other learning process could benefit from closely monitored feedback, updates, and organization.I think perhaps the vast amount of information on the wiki could be more condensed and streamlined to be more user friendly. Being in a Triangle has been a very positive experience for me. If you are ready to make a change in your life and truly believe in the seven virtues of the Bushido code, then participating in a Triangle will open many doors you did not know existed.

__** Scribe - Denise Rezsonya - Noblesville, IN - drezsonyalb@gmail.com **__

Hi! I am excited to be part of the Dream Makers Triangle! I have been married for 16 years and I have two awesome kids who will both be in middle school this year.

I have been blessed to work at home while raising them for the past 14 years.

I am very much a multitasker and I enjoy a challenge. I am excited for this opportunity to utilize my skill set and to grow personally and professionally while helping clients with their business.

I look forward to learning from other members of the team and helping others when and if applicable. I have a B.S. Degree in Business and also certification as a medical transcriptionist.

I work well independently but enjoy the camaraderie of a team.

** ~ Passion Paragraph ~ ** I am passionate about many things but I think for me the biggest driver of passion is my faith and my desire to leave a positive impact in this world. Two and a half years ago I felt called to write teen devotionals. I was trying to find a tool to use with my kids that was easy to understand and addressed their day-to-day concerns.

After unsuccessfully finding what I was looking for, I felt called to write it. I have always loved to write and dreamed of becoming an author. I never honestly expected that dream to become a reality and was pleasantly surprised when it did. In 2015 I released two teen devotionals and I am extremely proud of them.

Through these books my legacy will live on long past my lifetime and will hopefully positively impact many youth. I look forward to seeing where my passion for helping others leads through Lifebushido!

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">I initially went into the experience of the Triangle confused about what it was and unsure of how it would be beneficial. After getting to know the other members of Dream Makers I found that we shared a camaraderie and found it helpful to be able to get to know Lifebushido with the assistance of others on our team. Our leader, Donna, is extremely positive and encouraging, and without her I may have given up on finishing the Triangle, so I am extremely thankful for her support. We have a great team of leaders with a complimentary skill set that I think strongly aided us during these past few weeks. Together, we have been able to complete the required tasks of the Triangle and now better understand Lifebushido as we transition into our roles with the organization. I found the Triangle overall to be a very positive experience. __** Dream Makers Checklist: **__ <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: center;"> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1InRDXToP9l0MV9bIUa5jaiFpZEU_najM0FG_h85ohC4/edit?usp=sharing
