Karen Edwards is a Scholarship Representative for C.S.T. Consultants Inc., the service provider for the Canadian Scholarship
Trust Plan. She. enjoys the opportunity of helping families plan for their childrens future success. As a licensed representative
under Quebec and CST securities requirements, she helps families understand and implement the federal grant program called
the Canadian Education Savings Grant (CESG) which is linked to the Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP). Parents want
the best success for their children, and this success demands some post-secondary education or training. It can be university
but also trade or technical training. But to achieve a good education or training, requires having the financial resources.
Parents and grandparents can plan early, when their children are small to save for their future education. Government grants
enhance these savings goals and are available to all families. When parents choose a non-profit foundation such as The
Canadian Scholarship Trust Plan, they benefit from surplus revenues such as donations and low costs with the collective savings
trust plan, so their return on investment is enhanced. Other benefits include a graduate awards scholarship program, on-line
verification of savings plans, excellent client service through toll free telephone, on line messaging, and a personal enrollment
representative. Karens interests include meeting new people, especially families with children. Karen feels a genuine
satisfaction representing a wonderful savings program that helps families achieve their dreams for their childrens successful
future. Karens new found freedom is being in business for myself and keeping my own hours. I love the challenge of setting
goals and the feeling of accomplishment when you achieve these goals. I find it exciting to realize there are no limits to
how successful I can be. I love this potential for unlimited success. Karen has a Bachelors degree in liberal arts from
the University of Western Ontario. She also has an interest in fine arts and followed courses in drawing, painting, and art
history from Concordia University. Computer training and experience in customer service facilitate her work. Karen was
involved in pre-school education with co-operative nursery schools as well as part time teaching. Working in the corporate
business world for many years at Eastern airlines, then corporate travel for ten years, Karen now enjoys working with CST
Consultants Inc.as a self-employed scholarship representative. Prospective clients can Contact Karen for a free consultation
on meeting their childs future educational goals. Read more about Karen right here!

WENS
Testimonial
By
Sue-Anne Hickey
I just had to share with the WENS members how
good it feels to be apart of this network. The
demands of other networking groups to make weekly
referrals just got to be too much. Since Ive stopped
attending these
other groups, I feel a big weight lifted off from
my shoulders. One particular networking group
pressures its members to produce at least one
referral
per week and it made me feel so guilty if I did not
perform. (I did NOT give Bogus referrals which is
something that happens quite often).
WENS just works naturally. One of the WENS
members is interested in a new line of yoga clothes,
so I referred her two people she could meet! Another
member asked for my flyers and she has already
referred someone to me.
Way Cool!
Thanks for all your hard work!

The
Key To Creating Wealth In Business
By
Robin J. Elliott
Entrepreneurs have received many messages in the
past that have had the cumulative effect of
hoodwinking us. We have put blinders on by
accepting certain Solutions from the Gurus. The
purpose of an Entrepreneur is to make after tax
profit. We use business as the vehicle. But we heard
that we need to be focused and that we need
an Elevator Speech and similar concepts that can
effectively lock us out of tremendous wealth
opportunities. This short article is intended to impart
and share a JV Mindset that can liberate us from
restrictive assumptions and perceptions.
Go to any Business Networking Meeting and youll
find dozens of wanna-be entrepreneurs, usually self
employed salespeople, who thrust their business
cards at you, talk at you, pitch you, and then leap
up to enthusiastically deliver the predigested,
prepackaged, boring elevator speech that they paid
someone who lost their job and now calls themselves
a coach to create. And while theyre giving their
elevator speech, what art h rest of the people at
their table doing? They listen long enough to decide
whether or not the speaker will buy their product or
service and then promptly lose interest. They are
waiting
to give THEIR speech. You know this is true. Just
look at the audience theyre bored stiff. Everyone
is there to sell, sell, sell.

Emotional Intelligence is defined as the ability to use
your understanding of emotions, in yourself and
others, to deal effectively with people and problems.
A high EQ (emotional quotient) helps you to better
understand people, creating better relationships that
will directly impact your success as well as enhance
life-balance and produce creative energy.
Did you know that assertiveness; empathy,
happiness, emotional self-awareness, and problem
solving were more predictive of sales success than
background, gender and sales technique?
Did you know that the worlds most
successful entrepreneurs are known to have high
EQs?
