National Convention at the St. Louis America's Center- Day#2

Today was Day #2 of te National Convention at the St. Louis America's center. I just got in from dinner. Its about 11:54 PM. I wish I could get your a rundown of today's activities but I got to get in bed. We have to be at the Edward Jones Dome at 8 AM in the morning. ALl I know is that the people just keep on coming. The halls were so crowded with people going from class to class. More people are coming tonight including friends of mine. I just got off the phone with my friend Denyse and she should be here by 5:30 AM. All I can say that the air is electric with excitement. Tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the General session. I do know that the California lawsuit will definitely be addressed. Everyone I know is not disturbed by it at all. After all Microsoft, PrePaid legal and other companies had to endure this.
This is a business. Network Marketing does not mean No-Work marketing. It is what its name says NetWORK marketing. So theren is no "get rich quick" miracle.
I am happy to day that the commissions I received on travel and recruitment has provided me with the spending money for this week. I did not have to take the expenses out of my household budget.
As another presenter said- We need to raise the B.A.R.
Bar + Aaction = Results

I wish you all were here. Tomorrow will be fantastic. Until next time!

National 2008 Convention in St. Louis- Day 1

I must say that this convention has got to be one of the most well run, organized conventions I have ever attended of any organization!
the thunder storms we had last night helped to cool off the temperatures. We only got up to 87 degrees today...LOL
Today was the first day of classes. Most of them were held in America's Center. This is a HUGE convention center.
A total of 160 classes are being offered on these days. The biggest problem is choosing which class to attend.Some of the classes are on travel and others are on marketing, self development and team builsing and edification.

My First class was with Level 2 Director Von Nickleberry. Entilted "The Believer and YTB; Build Your Biz the Christian Way". Von shared his testimony interwoven in showing the siilarities of network marketing and the creation of the early church. He shared how it is possible foe Beleivers to be successful in Network Marketing.

Next was Roland Althouris' clas "Buildig Momentum through Travel Parties" he illustrated how to be a conversationalist, and a formula for being successful

I thinkt he most inspirational class today was Craig Sweet's "Power of Belief and Edification" Craig held up a pair of pants he used to wear when he was 505 lbs!That is not a typo. It tok alot of faith and determinaton for him to lose over 230 lbs. He shared alot iof insight and correlated it to the home based travel business.

There were so many more classes I attended and more for tomorrow.
I wish you all were here.

Checking in from the 2008 National Convention

Just checking in with everyone. We arrived this afternoon greeted by 99 degree weather, and a severe thunderstorem watch. On our plane ride was Director Devon McCullough We also got to meet so many other people in our Travel Biz.
Registration was super-smooth, in and out. We had pre-registered and didn't even have to stand in line for our complimentary back packs, loaded with all kinds of goodies.

Everywhere we go there are signs greeting us to St.Louis. There are even banners lining the streets of downtown St. Louis. My husband and I had dinner with with Regina Osei and her family and met members of her downline.

So that pretty much sums up my day today. We will be having our classes at the America Center tomorrow and Thursday. I will try hard to report back.
Until then......as Roland Althouris would say " Don't believe what you see, SEE what you believe"

Don't forget to listen to the morning calls 8 AM EST. 212-461-5800 Pin 77000#

Going to My First Travel Biz Convention

I'm packing up, got my laptop ready, got my Registration materials and I am on my way to my very first Travel Biz convention!
I listened to my company call yesterday and I was so surprised to find that over 22,000 people are registered. Wow. I am looking forward to meeting my online friends like Doug Bauknight, Regina Osei, Denyse Turner and of course brand new dad,
and Level 2 Director Von Nickleberry among others.

There will be 2 full days of back to back educational classes. They will be on Travel and marketing. All at the America' Center in St. Louis Missouri.
My husband asked me yesterday, "So what do you plan to get out of this convention"?
Of course it would be him to come up with a philosophical question, LOL
But it is very relevant.

I expect to
*Come away with alot of knowedge of the travel industry.
*Learn how to effectively market my product in a way that produces results.
*Meet with successful Referring Travel Agents and learn from them.
*Come back energized and more focused to take my business to the next level.

I hope to come back and post an update each night on the blog. So stay tuned.

See you at the Travel Biz Convention

5 Beliefs to Make your Online Home Based Travel Business Unstoppable

5 Beliefs to make your Online Home Based Travel Business Unstoppable!
There are fundamental beliefs that are crucial for the success of your online home based travel business. In 1973 New York Mets Relief pitcher coined the phrase “Ya gotta believe” which became the catchphrase that helped propel the New York Mets to win the National League Pennant that year. It is so much the same when we own our own home based online travel business. You just gotta believe!

1-Develop a belief in the Product. You have to know that you are offering people a Great Product which is Travel. Get familiar with it. Go in your back office and get familiar with it. See all the products that can be offered. With www.GailsDreamVacations.com we offer cruises, hotels, golf vacations, hunting and fishing vacations, honeymoon website and so much more.

2-Develop a belief in the company- Get around people in the company who are Leaders. Find mentors. Take advantage of the National conventions, the weekly meetings, the travel trade shows , webinars. I have greatly benefited from being associated with leaders In my company.

3-Develop a belief in the industry of network marketing. Mark Yarnell wrote a book called the “Your First Year in Network Marketing”. That book made me believer. I learned the advantages of Network Marketing . I see the success of the many champions in the field. Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump both support the Network marketing business model. After all we do it everyday.

4-Develop a belief in others – Teach your team that they can be successful. Stay focused on the understanding that most people want exactly what you want, that is a better quality of life than they are currently living. Remember to value people NOT money! The worse thing in the world is to entice people to join your team, you gain the commission and then abandon them. That is what gives Network Marketing a bad name.

5-Develop a belief in yourself. In the Motown Musical Version of “the Wiz” Glenda the good witch sings a song that has the line “Believe in yourself right from the start, believe in the magic that comes from your heart…..Believe in yourself like I believe in you”

Glenda said it all. With these 5 beliefs ,you will feel more confident as you approach future clients and business partners and your online home based travel business will take off.

Randy Pausch- Dying to live

Randy Pausch was Carnegie Mellon professor whose greatest lesson was how to live even though he was dying. Diagnosed with one of the most devastating forms of cancer, which is pancreatic cancer he managed to teach the world how to live a life of fulfillment. Randy Pausch did not allow himself to be overcome with the thoughts of his unavoidable death, but he chose to make the most of the time he had.
Last August his doctors grimly predicted he had 6 months to live, but with his positive outlook he was able to actually able to extend his live another 5 months. My nursing experience tells me that was nothing short of a miracle.

Carnegie Mellon had a tradition of having professors speak at a forum sharing wisdom as if it was the last lecture of their lives. Randy Pausch did not have to pretend. Instead he shared a lecture on “childhood wonder”. I understand there was not a dry eye in the place. That lecture became known as “the Last Lecture”. It took off and was all over the internet. Dr. Pausch actually was a guest of Oprah along with Dr. Oz.

I cannot tell you the impact that his lecture had on me. After I watched his lecture on YouTube last Fall, my life concerns paled in comparison. He stated;
“If I don't seem as depressed or morose as I should be, sorry to disappoint you.”
Randy would tell people “I don’t know how to not have fun. I’m dying and having fun.” Sadly Randy Pausch lost his battle to cancer Friday, July 25, 2008 at the age of 47. However he did not lose his battle to Death, because he lived.

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
1 Corinthians 15:55

In Randy Pausch case, the grave lost its victory!

What is Fear?

What is FEAR? Its nothing but

False Evidence Appearing Real.

We know that the negative force in this world, the Enemy we call in Christian circles uses fear in our lives to prevent us from achieving the goals that we can reach. The Enemy or Negative force uses lies and tricks to attempt to keep us in defeat. Anytime we feel hesitant, doubtful, unsure, scared or weak that is a component of FEAR.

It is important to conquer fear. The Key to conquering fear is trust. I completely trust God to lead me and guide me in all my decisions in life. Fear can paralyze your life. It can cause your business to fail. Many people who have home based businesses fail because of fear. They are afraid to speak to people, afraid to share their business opportunity. Afraid of others predicting their failure!

How do we conquer fear? Glad you asked! There are three ways.

Recognize- when the enemy or the Negative Force is trying to derail us. Pray and ask God to reveal the attacks of the enemy on our lives, families and businesses. Those derailments can come in the form of people or obstacles. In my church we sing a Ron Kenoly song that I love. “Whose Report Will You Believe? And the congregation answers “We shall believe the report of the Lord! “Nuff said!

Refuse to accept fear from coming over you. In my belief as a Christian we know that we can use the word of God against the Spirit of fear. Scriptures such as 2 Timothy 1:7, Isaiah 41:10. In Psalm 56 is actually one of my favorites on the subject of fear, particularly verses 3,4 and 11

Verses 3,4

When I am afraid I will trust in you. In God whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?
verse 11- In God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
NIV

Rejoice in the midst of the storm and the situation. How can we rejoice? Sing, smile, laugh, dance, praise, worship, speak positive. This actually confuses the enemy, it confuses that negative force. Don’t talk negatively about the situation. Instead speak life!
"I will get that job"
"I am healed"
"My children are be blessed"
"My business is successful"


An example of this occurred last week in my company YTB. A Press Release was sent stating that the company filed with the SEC to explore changing our current MLM business model to a franchise model. One blogger stated that the filing was made on 10:21 AM on July 15 and at 10:27 Am, 6 minutes later, the first negative blog posted citing all the negative reasons that aYTB and all the RTA will fail. Immediately after, negative blogs and forum comments were pouring in like a flood. People sending tongue in cheek, "prayers" to YTB Reps. A website suddenly popped up dedicated to bringing your YTB team over to their company!!! Do you see the pattern?
It was False Evidence Appearing Real. The enemy or the Negative force, if you will , shot out his spiny tentacles to unsuspecting YTB business owners, and used manipulators that caused unnecessary fear in some people who thought this new model would cause them to lose their businesses. After all some “Experts” in the competition said so. Our CEO posted a letter which actually negated each one of the situations posters had listed. He listed the plans and the positive outcomes they are expecting if the YTB Franchise proposal is accepted. What a difference it was! It was like night and day! This past Saturday our CEO Coach Lloyd Tomer continued in the same sentinet via our weekly webcast entitled "Do You Want to Scratch with the Chickens or Soar with the Eagles. He was speaking life! With this lesson I speak life, and success to my online homebased travel business.

So the next time you feel that ugly spirit of fear to grip you, remember how to conquer your fears by using the .“3 Rs” Recognize, Refuse and Rejoice!
