America's new Olympian ice-skating sweetheart, Sarah Hughes, shocked the world during the 2002 Winter Olympics with her flawless, 4 minute program. A performance that claimed her the gold medal.

This magical Cinderella story just begins there. Despite ranking fourth after the short program, Sarah outperformaned the world's greatest ice skaters, including the legendary and gold medal favorite, Michele Quan. An outcome that even Sarah would never have predicted.

What made the winning difference for Sarah? What "edge" did she have over the likes of Michele Quan?

Imagine a blackboard cluttered everywhere with writing. Not only will it be impossible to decipher the contents on the board, but there will be little room for anything new.

The same is true with our businesses. Our business performance is only as strong as our personal performance and both are greatly diminished by excessive "energetic clutter." If you don't address these clutter areas now, they will seriously undermine your business results in 2002.

Timothy made it look so effortless. One quad jump after another during the men's ice skating competition in the 2002 Winter Olympics.

No other male ice skater - even the world's best - could land the quad jumps with such effortless precision. Many fell; most struggled in the attempt.

In the world of figure skating, double quad jumps became Timothy's "signature" move ... his POWER BRANDING (sm). That one move left an indelible impression on every judge and every viewer's mind. That one move earned Timothy a Bronze Medal.

What indelible mark are YOU leaving in the minds of your potential customers? What's your "power branding?"

For the Canadian and the Russian ice-skating teams, it was an evening of magical moments and possible dreams made reality, eventually turning into a nightmare. For the rest of us, we witnessed one of the most scandalous evenings ever in Olympian history.

By many experts, the Canadian couple gave a flawless performance with predictions of gold. Yet the Russian couple won the honor. An outcome uncovering "score fixing" among the judges ... marring the competition's results until an equitable solution was found.
