One of the things that "stuck" with me was during one of the testimonial talks, the woman gave an example of something that embarrassed and humiliated her. She said she decided to not let that moment define her, it was just one moment in time, and she dusted herself off and kept on going, learning from her mistake. I have thought a lot about what she said, and in a lot of ways I let little things define my business. The year Disney was our trip, I worked hard and to earn it, but at the end, just didn't have the recruits, and in many ways threw my hands up and said it's too hard. I let a small think define how I was going to work my business. Which by the way lead to a dead end. So my take away from her talk: figure out how to stay focused, our business is flexible not optional, don't let one moment define you, set huge and small goals, never stop learning.
THIS is the type of thing I miss most about not having conference in Chicago!!! :cry: Would have LOVED to hear the other testimonials from other locations! Not that ours was not good as well, but it's different when you have the vast majority of people sitting with you and everyone gets to hear and experience the speaker. I hope some of these are posted on the website for all of us to hear.
