Next weekend is a major function called Spring Leadership.  Think of it as a conference that your work would send you on for some Microsoft Conference or some Oil and Gas conference.  A conference that usually would usually cost around $3000-$4000 and really get you nothing but some information on some products you may or may not use, or some cheap ass trade show t-shirts, pens, etc… It will cost us $125 to attend this 3 day function and I can tell you after attending Free Enterprise Day’s that $125 dollars is worth it for what you get out of this conference.  To be fair there are other costs like the bus we are taking down with a bunch of other owners, the hotel cost and some food.  All tax write off’s and minor compared to what I know I’ll get out of this.

Spring Leadership is one of 4 major functions that we choose to attend not because there is a gun to our heads saying we HAVE to attend, but because we feel it’s worth it to get around the amazing leadership, the awesome teachings from someone such as John Maxwell which is one of the best speakers on leadership.  There will be other leaders in what we do speaking and teaching on their success and their story. 

What I’m really excited about is our coaches will be speaking in front of 10,000 people as well as a few other people from Alberta.  When I say Alberta, Canada is a booming market, the strongest and fastest market in all of World Wide Group, I’m not kidding.  There is a reason for that.  Mike and Brandie Wagner are one of the major reasons for that and I am honored to be coached by them who are new Emeralds. They are building business in a way that is unseen in World Wide and Amway Global.  This is just one of the reasons as to why I love what we are doing and why all the negative out there really doesn’t phase me in the least.  We are doing things with integrity and that is what is going to change the face of what we do.  Just wait.

So yeah back to Spring Leadership I am pumped for it because this will be the first Major Function besides Dream Night that we will be sitting on the floor because we achieved the level of Eagle.  That means no more lining up hours before hand and then racing down the stairs to get good seat as so many people have done before.  I’m pumped to just get some motivation, some positivity, some association and some teaching that we will apply to our business and continue to make it larger through integrity and great friendship.

I hope for those who are reading this and are actually in the business you experience Spring Leadership for your own reasons and are not forced or made to feel guilty about it.  If you do go, ENJOY it!

EDIT: Just realized it’s the following weekend not next!  Must be excited.
