DH and I were talking last night and there is a chance I may go to NC, Wave 3. Honestly, I would like to go, but my team already made reservations for air and hotel. I don't know anybody else going and the dress code thing is making me crazy. I am a nurse by trade, and have no "busines casual" clothes. I don't have any shirts that even say PC!!

Guess I'm nervous. Tell me should I go or not??

Go, Go, Go it is so much fun and worthwhile for your biz. We still have people in our cluster buying tickets. Talk to your cluster and see when their flight is and if You can get a similar one. That's what I did. We all leave Sac at the same time, but half of us go into midway & the other half go into O'hare and we will meet up at the Hotel.
 
Go, go, go!!! I'm going for the first time this year also (however, I'm in wave 2).
 
I don't have a room or airfare yet but I will figure out something not crazy about sleeping on the floor but whatever is necessary LOL!- Would be nice if the experience people on the teams would help the first timers I have learned to be flexible but would like more info too
 
Kathy... last year was my first time as I had just joined 4 months prior. My upline did everything to help ensure me going (money was a huge issue for me). I got to sleep on a cot in their room which cut down on hotel costs and I found a cheap flight. I just wished I could have had more control over all the vendors... man I am a shopaholic! I just want everything!!! :)

It was the best decision I made! It made me see what I could be, and slowly, but surely I have been trying to implement it! My show average went up, as did my bookings and recruiting. I think it's a great way to jumpstart your business and recharge all the energy and excitement! I hope you get to go! Good luck!!!
 
My biggest thing I need is organization so I can do more shows without so much prep and after work. This way I can do more shows without impacting my hubby
 
I definately recommend going:) It is so awesome to see the big picture with the company; and it's the biggest boost you can give your business.
Just find out which flight your group is on.....and don't stress over the dress code. I've seen people there in all kinds of clothing. I prefer khaki capris & a nice short sleeved top. It doesn't have to be anything fancy; but definately comfortable!
 
BumpSo tell us, have you made your decision? Inquiring minds want to know. :p You will get a lot in return from going to conference.
