Meanwhile, in Eastern Canada…
Regan, Stephen, Michael Jr., and I have had a blast meeting everyone on our Road Tour, but we weren’t the only ones indulging in our wanderlust this last week. Dave Nash, Univera’s Director of Sales, Canada, has traveled to several cities in Eastern Canada to meet both Associates and prospects there and share with them [...]
From the Road: Behind the Scenes
(Video footage from the road)
Ten to Jax
Sunday was supposed to be our day of rest with no meetings this day. But that didn’t quite happen. We awoke around 7 a.m. and started to the airport a little after 8 a.m., spent most of the day in airports and on two flights and arrived in Knoxville, Tennessee around 4 p.m. After getting [...]
The Cowboys vs. the Longhorns
Oklahoma City had a great meeting last spring with over 200 people at a luncheon event. This week’s event was a little trickier: a Friday night at 7 p.m. during high school football season. And the Oklahoma State Cowboys were set to play the Texas Longhorns the following day. About 125 people still showed up [...]
From the Desert to the Rockies
I love the desert and the deep brown earthy soil of the Arizona landscape — perhaps odd to those who long for a bit more green, which is particularly abundant in the Northwest. So landing in Phoenix started my heart thumping a bit more vigorously. And walking off the airplane and feeling the dry warmth [...]
Sacramento to Orange County
Tuesday, we hit up both Sacramento and Orange County, Calif. — a luncheon and evening meeting, respectively. For some reason, visiting two cities in one day and giving two presentations leads to a very different flavor and level of emotional investment than if we had just one city per day. I like two-a-days, but they’re [...]
A Whirlwind of a Week–from Singapore to Reno
In the last week I feel I’ve been guilty of blogglect. It’s basically the neglect of a blog. A common condition not easily managed even with a superstar nutritional supplement like Xtra and often caused by busy schedules, lots of traveling, little sleep, much excitement, and quite a few meetings and phone calls with a [...]
What CEOs (leaders) can learn from Paul Newman
I just returned from the Gold/Platinum Xpand your Business seminar up at Alderbrook this past weekend where my wife and I attended the concluding dinner and had a fantastic time with all those present. While reading various emails this afternoon, I ran across a Wall Street Journal article sent to me a few weeks ago, [...]
980 emails, 17 Wall Street Journals, three Business Weeks, one movie, a few chapters of “In Defense of Food” and 24 hours later…
…I landed in Singapore, Malaysia. Here, I will be spending the next four days at the International Direct Selling Association to network and spend time with other Direct Selling colleagues while also getting a “State of the Business” perspective at this event. Landing last night around midnight, I forced myself to sleep — despite being [...]
M—– J-.’s Kickin’ it with us on the Road Tour!
By intention, I’ve not blogged about the financial markets this week. Maybe next week, but the news is evident enough. Once you incorporate partisan politics and media sensationalization, it gets a bit overdrawn despite it being among the most critical issues on the mind of not just America but most countries across the World. So [...]
