The beautiful beach of Seaside Oregon.  Who knew the Pacific Coast could be so nice!  However the water was honestly freezing cold. I did go in however.  I wasn’t planning on going all that way and NOT going into the ocean.

 

A sand castle one of the kids made during the “Kids Day” at the beach.  One of the things I love about what we do is that Family is number one.  That’s why we are building this thing so that we can set an amazing example for our kids.

Me, Brad Duncan, and Lindsay.

Lindsay and I attending out very first “Moving Up”.  Cannot wait to continue to grow so that we can bring our leaders to this event and have them experience what we did. Amazing leadership and great relationship building IMG00418-20100715-1915

Question and Answer time the last night of Moving Up with Brad and Julie.  Such amazing servers.

Lindsay and I dressed up for the Platinum Dinner where all new Double Eagles and above attend.  The theme for the night was 70’s/80’s.  We decided for fun to dress as old school Amway Distributors.  It was a hit! IMG00428-20100716-1754

Moving Up Week

Amazing!  Pretty much the one word to describe this whole week so far.  There is no way for me to be able to express just how impactful this week has been, it really is an event you need to experience in person.  It is an event that you need to qualify for and you do that by going Double Eagle or a 7500 PV volume business.  The proper way would be to go with the right parameters which is Double Eagle.  It is an event that we pay for however the investment as I’ll call it (because that’s what I personally thought this was) is WELL worth it. Investing in one’s self is always a win win. 

This event was a huge elevated association event where we were able to grab multiple chances to get around our amazing upline from our coaches who we’ve kinda hosted in our shared two bedroom suite all the way to our upline Crown Brad Duncan.  I can tell you dream building with that man is amazing as we had the chance to yesterday for a good chunk of time.  Pretty amazing what goes on in that man’s head.  All of the Diamonds in Brad Duncan’s organization were there and we got to meet and talk with every single one.  I think the biggest impact for us was getting around our upline Emeralds and discussing some great vision with them and how our team plays in that and how we can continue to build an amazing people business.

The last thing that was pretty awesome compared to the last few years in this organization is how unified everyone is including all the diamonds.  Everyone is in the fight right now and there WILL be some huge growth coming with Diamonds breaking in Canada within the next year or two.  There may have been a lull for the last few years and yes we have not seen any diamonds break for awhile but just wait.  There is nothing wrong with the way things have gone and what is better now then in the past is how unified this organization is.  It’s never been this unified and unification is the key to anything in business, life and success.

So yeah this week has been great for that but also great to have a mini-vacation as well.  We’ve not had a vacation all year and hitting the beach during the days has been pretty sweet.  I got a pretty wicked sunburn on my legs as a always do when I hit the beaches.  I never remember to put suntan lotion on them.  Oh well.  We had the chance to do some shopping in these cute shops in this little beach town and also some time to just sleep in and have some mini-freedom during the week. 

Lastly, this week after some counsel and some time to think about our situation and how well our business is doing, we set Lindsay’s freedom date.  August 27th, 2010 will be the date that Lindsay has the choice of if she wants to work or not.  The choice where she decides if she wants to be controlled by another man or be her own boss and do what she wants when she wants.  The day where she can stop dressing up, putting making up on and looking good for someone else and she can do that for me.  Don’t miss understand me here when I say all of this, I am all for women working and having a career if they so choose, however Lindsay chooses not to.  Lindsay chooses a life where she can really understand herself and do what she wants with her free time.  The biggest thing though, she gets to take time off BEFORE she even gets pregnant so that NO work stress enters her life when we do decide to get pregnant.  That is pretty amazing I think.

Anyway the week has been a pretty unreal week and we are so looking forward to Family Reunion coming up here this weekend.  We are full in our hearts and we are ready to serve our team this weekend so that they can fill up their hearts as well.
