The first week we were gone from home was the 2010 Send Out Cards convention in Salt Lake. The convention was Thursday-Saturday. The Wednesday before convention was a treat-em-right, and I attended that with Michele, while Mike visited his family. Lots of motivation and energy the whole weekend long! Below are few photos courtesy of Michele. We welcomed a new team of Eagles (Tommy Wyatt and Curtis Lewsey) making 3 eagles in SOC now. Kody gave away his Aston Martin for keeps. There were other prizes including a Mercedes, and a Mustang convertible. Guest Speakers included Supermodel Kathy Ireland (who has started her own 1.4 billion dollar company) and Thurl Bailey, an ex-Jazz Basketball player, currently singer/entertainer. He was great. And two make-a-wish kids were awarded their wishes, to nary a dry eye in the house.
The inspiration that the event created was great. They say that people who go to the convention will come back next year with 100 more downline. What a way to plug into your business! I was left with a sense of being a spectator, rather than an active participant, and that is just not my style. So the convention motivated me to re-dedicate myself to my Send Out Cards business and next year I'll be a VIP at the convention, and not be watching from the sidelines.
One thing that is definite in this business is that some days are better than others, another is that those that hang in there will eventually make it. So in a very real sense, everyday requires a form of re-dedication. And when those days come by that you don't do what it takes, then the next day re-dedicate yourself and just maybe it will be one of those great days. What goes up must come down, after day comes night, after a dry spell comes a monsoon. You job is not to let the ups and downs take you out of the game. Rededicate yourself to the best of your ability each day and be steady on your course, you will get to your goals.
I have generated an up-line tree with photos to share on this site, and added a "team resources" page to this blog. Check it out! I hope to add inspirational Calls and Documents that will help your business... And everything in between to help the team!
My favorite thing at the convention was our team meeting. It was just a small group (less than 100) with powerful personal stories that had more impact on me. This Team was anyone Mark Herdering and down. Mark got into the business in it's infancy. He talked to 56 people before the first one, Sarah Basloe, signed up. What made him keep going after 10-20-30-40-55 no's is still amazing to me. I do believe he re-dedicated himself EVERY morning when he got up. Could YOU do that? If you knew (after knowing Mark's story) that eventually you would get that 56th person and she would sign up, and give you financial freedom, to live your life as you want to and give back to others as you would like to... I think you COULD do it. Now my last question. Will you?
