Supporters are leaders, connectors and they love a great party. With the right products and strategy they are the best to lead a team to success. I’ve had the good fortune to connect with the entrepreneurs below, each who are Supporter profiles. I am grateful to each of you for burning so brightly!
1. Steve Case – Washington: Co-founder of AOL and founded the Case Foundation to expand citizen philanthropy. Recognition programmes like America’s Giving Challenge and “Make It Your Own Awards” makes it all about the people.
2. Mike Southon – London: Financial Times Columnist on Entrepreneurship, and best-selling co-author of the Beermat Entrepreneur, Mike is constantly interviewing successful entrepreneurs and leaders, which is the way that Supporters effortlessly create content.
3. Ivan Misner – California: Founder of BNI, and New York Times Bestseller, Ivan’s been called the “Father of Modern Networking” by CNN. Read his blog and visit the Referral Institute to see how to master the art of referrals from the king of networking.
4. Michelle Clarke – Preston: Leader of Talent Dynamics, the corporate version of Wealth Dynamics, Michelle is a super-connector. In Talent Dynamics and XL Nation she has a trusted, global network of changemakers to share and dare with.
5. Marcia Martin – California: Marcia is President of One Degree Media, launching a conscious media network. I have met with friends and connections of Marcia’s that span over the last 30 years of the human potential movement – the true essence of a deep water network.
6. Lluwellyn Deidricks – South Africa: Lluwelyn has been instrumental in bringing in top speakers and entrepreneurs from around the world to connect with entrepreneurs in South Africa. The reason he’s smiling so much is he just got married to Rika :-)
7. Rachelle Starr – Australia: Co-founder of Conscious Lifestyler with Tyler Tolman, Rachelle is shining the light on optimal natural health through Don Tolman’s lifetime knowledge of raw, active food. The reason she’s smiling so much is she just got engaged to Tyler :-)
8. Les Gordon – Hong Kong: A long-time Pilot, Les now has ownership in multiple businesses where he shines as a promoter and marketer. Great example of how a supporter can leverage on their natural talents to build a multi-million dollar investment portfolio.
9. Deb King – Australia: Australian Entrepreneur and Radio DJ, Deb has mixed her passions for entrepreneurship and music to build a network and following in the music industry. As a Wealth Dynamics Master Practitioner, she is also connected to Supporters around the world.
10. Rustica Lamb – New Zealand: Founder of NZ’s Property Education Centre, Rustica recently organised the XL National Day on 31st March 2010, bringing together 20 speakers on social change from around the world – as only a true super-supporter could.
11. Darshana Shah – Bali: How can I end this list without two of my favourite supporters – Darshana and Shah. Darshana is currently in Bali leading the sales and marketing of Wealth Dynamics, XL Events and XL Vision Villas. The perfect people’s people person :-)
12. Shah Hamzah – Singapore: And Shah is my living reminder no Creator should try and survive without a Supporter. As my PA and friend she’s always there to hold the kite strings and translate my telepathy. I’ve been writing this list with a smile and the smile just got bigger…If you know any of the people on this list, please share your stories and testimonials of them below. Supporters thrive on praise :-) If you’d like to get to know some of them, I highly recommend you connect! You’ll find them all on Facebook.

Interesting to see Mike Southon listed here as a supporter as he's up until now been a Star profile (see http://www.mikesouthon.com/ezine/the-team/).
Do profiles change over time? i.e. different life phases?
