The International Convention

All year long I think about my company convention. It’s so exciting because it’s a huge event over 20,000 people come from all over the world for this event. It’s like a 3 day concert so full of energy, tons of business information & some cool celebrities. They set up fun party nights also it is a blast. Every year we have one in Miami & one in Greensboro. Where is Greensboro? I know, that’s what I said when I first heard about it. Greensboro is in North Carolina. The reason they do it there is because that’s where this Big idea started in a little house in Greensboro North Carolina now it’s a huge billion dollar company. The International Convention is coming up now on August 8-10 in Greensboro North Carolina. I was considering not going this year because of the cost involved. But just last week I committed to doing some basic fundamentals I have in my unfranchise business plan, in those little basic things we should be doing in order to build this business, we need to listen to our business training audios, perfect for when you’re working out... After my boot camp I power-walk for about another hour & a half. Just last week Friday I was listening to my training & there it was the message…..The message was very clear. Convention is coming up & successful people in this business do Not miss these events. Then I get home & I see my mentor & best friend Carlos Marrero Motives trainer & multiple Presidents Challenge winner, he is just so freaking amazing! He is all over my FB & email & is on the MA blog talking about convention & how important it is to be there! It hit me again!
My family is stressing me out about an August vacation so I was debating about not going to the convention because August 12 is my birthday then August 21 is my grandsons & school starts so early in Miami, August 19 ugh. I was trying to see how to do 2 trips in August, So then it hit me again. I will have to sacrifice! I cannot afford not to go to International Convention. I am a Leader, how can I keep wanting to be successful & not go to my business convention? That’s what I asked myself. It’s like wanting to be a doctor & not showing up to med school! I would be setting myself up for failure if I don’t go. So that was it, I made up my mind & decided I gotta do whatever I gotta do to make it to this event. Flying into Greensboro is out of the question, because convention is just weeks away & this is a huge event so flights are sold out or if not they cost an arm & a leg. This event pumps over 20 million dollars into the Greensboro economy in less than one week, wow…. so I’m looking to fly into another nearby city rent a car & drive the rest of the way. I don’t know if anyone else is coming with me but once I get the details out I know I will get some of my business partners that also either waited for the last minute to Make up their mind to be successful or I will find 2 new GONOW business partners in the next 10 days that make up their mind to be successful too & we can split the car & hotel that always happens ;)
It’s really going to be a sacrifice but I cannot afford to let another year go by & not take my business to the next level so I’m sacrificing & I’m going! My family may get upset but it is what it is. I have to do this! So either we will have to go a quick vacation before August 7 or it’s going to have to be after August 11. Here I come International Convention 2013 let’s do this!!
