Don't worry...conference will give you the boost you need! I left there last year with my head spinning with ideas! You will be so jazzed & ready to get back out there. And I think everyone is having a tough summer, don't feel like it's just you. Just think of it this way...every business has a slow time, just keep positive & things WILL get better!

I too am hoping for that miracle. I have had a crappy month. My highest show this month being $624. My show average has been over $700 lately and this month has been a real downer. I recruited one and have over $2K in sales but I haven't gotten a single booking from any of my last 4 shows, so as of right now I've got NOTHING on the books for July and only one each in Aug, Sept, Oct and Nov! I getting panicky!

I can't go to conference. I don't have the money but also my daughter(she is 6yr old) is having different surgeries this summer and I think I need to take a close to home vacation with my husband and daughter.
I am planning that next year I am going to make the conference a big vacation. I am planning on driving to conference with the family and sightseeing the way up and back. I thought that we all can enjoy being together and me being at the conference.
Maybe if any of you take your families with you maybe they could meet and do something together. Just an idea.
I live about 10 hours away. My husband and I was talking about leaving three days before the conference. Taking two days to get there and then have 1 day before the conference to sightsee together. We have started putting money back for this. It isn't much right now, but It will be by then.

No, you're definetly not the only one. I too am hoping for a miracle from conference. If it doesn't happen, I will probably have to give it up. Here's hoping that we all get what we want from conference.
