Well we are on the bus ride home after a nice little stop at Jack in The Box…Hey we don’t have that in Canada and we all needed a good fix. So the bus ride home will probably be interesting and a bit smelly. That’s okay Brad Ducan said we don’t judge people, even people who fart
haha.
ANYWAY… What an amazing weekend. Full of great teachings by John Maxwell on connecting with people as I’ve written about before. Some great motivation by all the leaders in this business from Double Eagle Ruby up to Crown. Lastly some great association time with some of our up line being able to answer questions or just to say hi. Something I have not really written about yet this weekend is that association. One of the best parts of these functions is getting around my up line leaders and asking them whatever questions I have or sharing with them what’s on my heart especially with Mike and Brandie.
Mike and Brandie spoke today on stage as new Emeralds and have spoken at all four Spring Leadership locations. However today was their “home town” site in Spokane. The amount of people that are being impacted by Mike and Brandie in this organization is off the charts. They are building a huge business but not only a huge business but a business of leaders. This is something unseen in any other market within World Wide Dreambuilders and probably in Amway Global. The reason? They actually care about the people in their business and actually want to impact people in a huge way. They want to help people build amazing friendships and relationship and help people achieve greatness. They are not about the money, or about the flashy things in life. Its impacting families, impacting parents, impacting the people they meet. It’s really hard to explain, but when you see them talk compared to other emeralds you really get a sense of who they are.
Canada, specifically Alberta is building a huge huge new brand of leaders. People have criticized there are no new diamonds or leaders in this business and there is nothing wrong with that. Growth is not always on the rise. A healthy business always has its ups and downs and World Wide Dreambuilders is on the rise again. Mark my words there will be people from our area and other areas going into Diamond Qualification. The people on the outside who are no longer building this business have no idea.
So what was the biggest thing I took away from…(oh I have to share what I took away from this business to everyone on the bus…) Okay so that was a bit longer than a few minutes. Everyone on the bus just shared what they thought of the function and what they took away from it. So So impactful. I think we just shared for 4-5 hours. Where else on this planet do people talk about their dreams, goals and deep heartfelt thoughts on their life and where they want to go?? That does not happen normally. It’s so impactful.
Going back to the original thing I was saying about what I took away. I took away leadership and connecting with people as my main points. I will be a leader in this business alongside Clay and Mike. I will be helping build strong leaders in our organization and it’s these leaders that will be impacting other people in such positive ways. It will also be these leaders that keep me inspired to carry on and continue to personally grow. What a feeling that is, to know that you will be able to impact people in a great way. I’m sorry but I don’t know any other business out there that can do this.
So what’s next? Well “Moving Up” is next and Family Reunion where we will be Double Eagles. OH YEAH! Time to catch some Zzzz’s on this bus before going back to the J.O.B. later this morning. BOOooooOOOO!
We will be attending the Nelsen family reunion.
Awesome! I’m glad you had an amazing weekend. We did the same thing on the way home, but it was just me and my mom. We didn’t have a whole bus load… soon!
I was really impressed with Mike and Brandy and their heart for their organization. I strive to be that kinda leader. The people in my group and the people I have the opportunity to impact are huge for me.
Which Family Reunion are you guys in?
I didn’t have as difficult a time going back to my j.o.b. I’m sure it’s because I know I’m well on my way out though. haha! Knowing the direction you’re headed makes it easier to deal with the interim.
We will be at the Duncan reunion. You?
Glad to see you took a lot away. That’s the key. There is a lot of information but taking a few key points is the main thing.
