Monday’s post is late because I have just returned from spending 3 days with 4,000 amazing woman and 5 men!
I spent the weekend in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the National Convention for the direct sales company I am involved with.
It was a weekend full of fun, little sleep, celebration, recognition, inspiration, motivation and information.
It was a group of 4,000 woman and 5 men who left their families, other jobs and obligations behind for a weekend focused on themselves and their direct sales business.
I spent the weekend listening to amazing woman share their stories. Their stories of hard work, struggles, failures and successes. They shared with us their best ideas and tips – willing to have everyone benefit from them.
I spent the weekend watching woman sing, dance, laugh and even dressing up a little crazy!
I spent the weekend meeting new friends and reconnecting with old friends.
I spent the weekend proudly watching members of my team and other women I know walk across the stage as they were recognized for their hardwork and dedication to their business this past year.
As I stood in the hall after the awards ceremony talking with a friend, she made the comment -
“This really was a celebration of women”
She was right – it was a celebration of women who have found a way to balance home, family, and a homebased business and for many of them, another full time job. They do this because they believe in something. In this case it is their product, the mission of their company and they are passionate about sharing it with their family and friends.
I am grateful for the opportunity I had to be a part of those 4,000 amazing woman and 5 men this past weekend.
It is an amazing thing that happens when a group of women come together in support of one another -when they feel passionate about something. I am blessed to be involved in several different organizations and groups of women and I have experienced this over and over again.
I truly believe that there is nothing that a motivated and focused group of women can not accomplish!
The women this weekend have inspired and motivated me to want to be better and improve while providing me with information that will make me a better person and run a better business.
What a blessing women can be to other women when they come together, opening their hearts and minds to each other and support and encourage one another. When they learn from each other and are motivated to do better instead of allowing themselves to be intimidated by others’ successes..
Thank you - 4,000 amazing woman and 5 men!
