I'm seriously rethinking going to conference this year
I know, I know....crazy, huh?! I've been looking forward to it since last year!
I've stepped back my business the last few months (doing only a few shows a month...just enough to make my Director minimums) so I can do 'mommy' stuff and frankly, with all the cut-backs that H O has made, I don't think I'll be missing much by not going.
I was sitting here calculating expenses and it would probably cost me between $600 - $700 to be there and I'm just not so sure that's the best way for me to spend my money right now.
Anyone else feel this way?

- I'm not walking for anything
- I don't have any of my team going with me.
- There is no official time scheduled to be with our execs or our extended teams. (My director is an NED, she lives close to me, and I see/talk with her all the time).
- I like going to the training classes, but they aren't "that great"
- HO has scaled back all the fun stuff, but the 3-day commitment is the same and doesn't really allow me to scale back or save (kinda pisses me off to be honest...they should pass the saving on...IMO).
- I love seeing the presentations and the new products, but I can wait until it's posted or someone emails me (or until my director pack arrives )
Anyone else feel this way?
