In approximately 2 weeks, I will be aboard this cruise ship, headed for Belize. I wont be paying for the cruise though. My generous leaders with this company are funding this for me and a select group of team members. Many of the team have sent messages indicating that I deserve it. I dont feel like I deserve it really. I feel like the team deserves it, and the hardest part is that Im not taking a boat load of them with me. The ship is the 4th largest in the world. Its a new ship, and it is insanely plush. In three months with a company that I knew little to nothing about...corporately structured in a way that I was not even remotely familiar with...presented to me for a year before I could get past the skepticism...I did this, with the help of a team. In three months my team and I reached this level. I have not worked outside of the home in 20 years. I am NOT a sales person. The only thing I have ever tried to sell was conservatism. :) I was too proud for this company. I have 2 degrees. I do not need this income...my husband does a great job of supporting our family. My kids college education was mostly funded because we saved their entire lives, and they have been blessed with a career since they were children. We have retirement. We have nice things. We have savings. We have abundance by many standards. Still...it has captured my attention, and the potential is off the charts. So, what did I do? I opened my mind, I committed to try, I decided I wouldnt let the naysayers affect me and would, instead, prove them wrong. I saw the pretty, shiny things that I wanted and continued to focus on that. Still do. I saw the charitableness all around me and wanted to do more of THAT. I found that people have dreams just like I do, but their circumstances have made many of those dreams distant, and they are detached from them. So, I started talking about dreaming again. It felt silly. It felt obnoxious, but I kept doing it. Its not silly to dream. Its Godly to dream. I assumed if these other business-minded and committed people were achieving these things, I could do what theyre doing and achieve it too. I found an extraordinary vehicle, and I climbed in the drivers seat and buckled up. I put it in drive and focused. Still do. Ill be doing a lot of celebrating and reflecting for the 5 nights on this ship. This is only the beginning. I will immediately disembark and go to San Francisco for more leadership training and pampering. I just passed my 10th paycheck with this company. Thats it. Most of you know me. Honestly, if youre not saying, If she can do it, I can do it, then youre just being silly. Better yet, lets do it together.
