Life Force Convention

We are still in July of 2003.

I feel so lucky to live in San Diego where this years Life Force Convention is being held! Last year it was in Florida and I could not afford a trip like that right now. I'm very lucky! I am having one of my members come and stay here with me. I'm so excited. This is going to be a great time meeting everyone on Dave's Team.

I went to the airport to pick up Margrette on July 30th. This was our first time meeting in person. It's such a wild thing working with people on the net and phone, but never really meeting them. We felt like we had known each other for years. Her kids were so worried about her traveling on a plane for the first time. I'm sure this was an incredible adventure for this wonderful lady and her family. An older woman with a few health challenges, traveling to San Diego where she has never been or met anyone. Hmmm, can't figure out why her kids are nervous. Oh my goodness, what an adventure.

I found her at the airport and had Daisy with me, so she could find me easily. It was so exciting to meet my dear friend, Margrette. She is an incredible lady. I really have become so fond of her and know that we are going to have an outrageous time! I let her stay in my room and I slept on the couch. My son could not believe what I had gotten myself into with this online business thing.

The Life Force Conference and QuickPros Academy lasted from Thursday, July 31st to Sunday, August 3rd. We had such an incredible time. Thursday was a blast meeting everyone. All the big wigs of the QuickPros Academy that Margrette had only spoke to or heard on the calls. All of the Hillman's, the founders of Life Force. We had such fun taking pictures of Margrette with every rich guy there! She was beaming all day. I knew she would really benefit from learning more about the products, so we signed up for classes related to products and online marketing. We did breakout sessions together and had lunch with Dave, Sarah and part of the Team. It was very cool meeting all of these people we had spoken to on the phone so many times. We all had the same goal and felt a bit like family.

The main speaker was a guy name E. Dan Smith. He spoke of focus and deliberate intentions. He was an amazing speaker, but I knew that I could not afford his program. Margrette and I bought his book and learned a lot from his seminar. My next entry will be all about his program and what I learned from him. There is too much to add here in this entry.

We went to our first ever, Masquerade Ball. This was sooo fun. Everyone dressed up so nice, as if something from the old days with masks and everything. There was one lady from Hawaii dressed like a cow. I wondered about this Marcy girl. She was a short, thin ball of energy. All of the Hillman's were there and many of high ranking Life Force members. We were having tons of fun taking all those pictures of Margrette next to these handsome, wealthy men. We all had some wonderful food, interesting conversations about where people were from and the business, and great entertainment! The magician was incredible! We had the best time ever. Man were we charged. We both could not wait to get home and start working on the business again. This was so fun, but taking time away from our business tasks.

Saturday was a day of recognition for all those who have done so well in Life Force. All of the QuickPros guys were up on stage. It was a great time for our Team and for QuickPros. Margrette and I swore to be Platinum by next years Convention. We were determined to be up on that stage. I am bronze now and going to be moving up very quick after this. We were on our way now! We had new information about the products and personal growth! There would be no stopping us now! Margrette and Sarah went on a tour of the Life Force factory and Dave and I met to talk about my goals.

Dave is such a good leader. He took his whole Team out to lunch and paid for everything. Wow! He gave us all a book (Mind Power into the 21st Century, by John Kehoe) to help us find that inner voice and focus. We had all written our goals down and went over them with him personally. He kind of ripped my vision down a bit. I was disappointed. He wanted me to focus on the feeling of having everything I wanted more than the idea of getting all the things I wanted. There is such a small, yet large, shift there. He explained how we are all fine tuned pitch forks. We are sending out our "tune" from our "vibration". Wow... This was all really new to me and a bit bizarre... I listened to him and tried to take it all in. I have a lot of respect for him and know that he is doing his best to help me. I need to pretend that I have everything I want and am in my perfect world now. Be content and happy with everything in the "now". Hmmm. I will probably be working on this one for a while. Dave and Sarah gave me the whole E. Dan Smith, Life Builder program. I was shocked. This was worth a great deal of money. They had such confidence in me to give me such an expensive gift. I was extremely touched. This added to my determination to get going on this!

We closed out the weekend with a Traffic Oasis dinner. This was a grand time. All the Life Force hoopla was over and the QuickPros members were here. It was a much lower key event. We had time to chat with all our friends and eat. We even did karaoke. There were a lot of people getting up to sing. This one guy could not even sing, but kept coming up and sharing his talent. I had a couple of friends convince me that I could do this as well. I got up and sang "Proud Mary" with Sarah and Karen. This was not something I would normally do. I was letting loose without any alcohol at all. I was learning to have fun. I have worked so hard all my life, that having fun is a new thing for me. It was a great time.

The weekend came to a close and I had to take Margrette back to the airport. We had said goodbye to all our new found friends and taken picture of Margrette with every guy we could. I've grown very close to Margrette and know that we will be friends forever. This is such a great business. Meeting people and having fun along the way. We are in for a Grand Adventure.
