“I am excited to chat with everyone today, as we are only days away from our Believe to Achieve convention in Orlando.” - Angela

Folks, this cruise promo has been our most popular cruise promo ever, just 15 points and you’re cruising in honor of our 15 year anniversary celebration.

“Continue to make membership sales and focus forward. We’ll have another promo we’ll announce at convention.  All points from the last cruise promo and forward, will count on this next one. So, if you didn’t make it for the cruise, continue to make those sales and keep up that momentum and be among our winners and take part in our next promo. This too, will  be lots of fun.”  - Angela

Our Believe to Achieve convention agenda is now posted on bign.com. Check it out, it’s a great lineup!
We always pack our conventions with trainings, valuable nuggets and information along with great success stories. You know folks, sometimes  we see on our convention surveys that the best part of the convention is the relationship building at those team meetings or while having a shake  and having fellowship or even meeting someone at the Meet the Team night. Those human connections are truly priceless.

For this convention, on Thursday night in the vendor area along with meeting the team, we’ll have complimentary food stations in the vendor area along with live music.

The convention weekly drawing winners are:

Production - Edward O'Keefe
Drawing - Lori Love
Drawing - Marilyn Hinze

Team National EVP Phil Chrysler  


Happy Birthday to Angela! Today, we are celebrating both Angela and her grandma’s birthdays. Please join me and wish them a happy birthday on Facebook.

Our Believe to Achieve Orlando convention is right around the corner. Orlando, here we come!

The  attire for the convention is Caribbean-themed attire (tasteful, resort-type). Feel free to celebrate that island, relaxed style such as Hawaiian shirts and dress shorts, etc. no Daisy Dukes or ripped jean shorts.  For those speaking at convention, on the days you are speaking please keep it business casual.

We have 400 people so far (by next week a few more people) cruising with us this year. That’s exciting!

At this convention, we’ll have 7 new and improved marketing materials. Also, we’ll  have:

TNFD – 10 of our most popular manufacturers on display

TNBE- - 13 different business with their own booths

All of our major business partners will be there along with 2 new business partners.

Boats, golf carts,motorcycles and of course cars.

This convention will be action-packed and fun. We’ll feed you Thursday night during “Meet the Team” night will complimentary Caribbean-style food stations set up. On Saturday night, we’ll have a Caribbean Night Celebration with great food and the soothing island sounds of the Volcano Joe band.

In order to bring down the price of convention tickets, there will be no breakfast provided. But not to fear, simply make a shake for Thursday, Friday & Saturday breakfast.

Dan and I along with the early crew start setting up in Orlando a week from today. I’m excited for convention I wish it was here already!

When we are in convention planning mode, it is fun… and we are excited to hit Orlando.

Last week, we had the Lessons  & Lifestyle of an Eagle Red Carpet Premiere with Brad & Kristin  Barton. It was awesome!

Just got a text from Ken Kelm… To clarify…The Race to the Boat promo ended on business ending 7/20. So, there are still some people that put in all sorts of points this weekend who will also win the cruise. Next week, we’ll announce this final group of cruise winners as well.

“Hundreds of folks will be on that cruise. New and excited folks will be on board. I believe a high percentage of other random people on that cruise ship will become new IMDs when they get to see all the excitement.  Ed O’Keefe has only been in the business one week and won a cruise and convention registrations…wow that’s powerful.” - Robert
“There’s so much momentum happening in the field, I’ve done more welcome aboard calls then I’ve done in 15 years.” - Robert


Leadership Nuggets 

Harvest Time

Robert
 “Generally, July and August see a dip as is normal in the industry, vacationing, etc. But for us, it’s Harvest time. Plant the seeds now for a big harvest in the fall. We’re seeing a big increase in sales instead of a dip. That’s awesome! The  compound effect is a bigger harvest due to more seeds being planted.  with more seeds planted.  I just know that this will be one of the most memorable years and conventions. “ - Robert

“You are your own CEO you are your own boss. You can fire and hire as you want to. Fire yourself, get it together and then rehire yourself. Get to work. Do what it takes to get to convention. Big announcements will be made at convention, you won’t wanna miss these. “ - Robert


Angela

Why Be Normal?

“We have never been typical ordinary or even normal.  It is abnormal to help ordinary people live extraordinary lives. So embrace being abnormal and go out of your comfort zone and achieve greatness.” - Angela

“Our savings package is always in need, always in style and  we will always continue to improve and bring you the best.” – Angela

“Finish Strong” – book by Dan Green is in our Success Club and is a great read.


Here’s a terrific quote in the book from Charles Kettering  – “Keep going and the chances are you will stumble on something. Perhaps when it is least expected, but I never heard of someone stumbling on something while sitting down.”

Folks I’ll close the call with this word. Commitment. See you in Orlando.
