One of my favorite things about this business is that I get to meet some incredible people. Whether it's someone new just taking a look at the company, or a long time leader, we're all just one big family. Even though we're not necessarily directly making each other money, fostering a sense of community is paramount to creating momentum in all of our businesses. In the "normal" corporate world, it's so cutthroat. It's all about the money, and staying ahead of the next guy. I love that we celebrate and recognize all of our local representatives, no matter which "team" is hosting the event.
I had the pleasure of bringing a guest to a local meeting put on by a superstar of another team, and was just grateful for the chance to have something work with my schedule. However, not only was he so welcoming and willing to impart wisdom, he genuinely cared about helping us to grow our business. Not to mention, he helped to push me outside of my comfort zone, getting me up in front of the meeting to introduce the speakers and run the video. WOW, I didn't think I could do it, but it goes to show what you can do when someone really believes in you. I can only hope that some day I can return the favor, and help him in some way.
These past few months have honestly been some of the wildest of my life. It's truly been a roller coaster of emotions, and I'm learning, as one of our Senior Vice Presidents mentioned, to make the highs and lows not so high and low. I am quite glad though that I left the safety and pointless fighting of the bumper cars for the risks and thrills of the roller coaster, because right now I'm hearing the "tick tick tick" of the climb, and it is EXCITING!
