Is the best always saved for last? I’m confident that it’s safe to say that after experiencing the miraculous day three of the Market America International Convention! From start to finish, the final day was awesome. The day began with a spectacular performance by Duane McLaughlin. His performance had the crowd on its feet as he blessed us with powerful song. He definitely got everyone off to a great start!
My absolute favorite part of the entire day was Loren and Steve Ashley’s social media presentation. For those of you who know me, you are very aware of my obsession with social media! This presentation was very informative for both the user and non-user of social media platforms. Topics discussed included: how to create and find appealing content, social searching and social shopping. Loren and Steve shared with us that 93% of network marketers use social media to grow their business and they even showed us how to use each platform! Lets just say, if you were blowing social media off before yesterday’s presentation, you left the building with a change of heart!
The next presentation was brought to us by the Prince and Princess of Market America, Amber Ridinger and Duane McLaughlin! As they entered the stage, they received non-stop cheers and love from the audience. Why? Because DNA was born. This amazing couple has had a very exciting year! They had their wedding, Baby Ayden’s birth and now launching their line of baby care products, DNA Miracles. I learned something about the baby care business that blew my mind! This business is a 52 billion dollar business! Amazing right? DNA Miracles is a special line of products because unlike other baby care brands, DNA is an all natural and non-toxic line for babies. Amber and Duane’s goal was to make products that were safe for their child. DNA Miracles is pediatrician approved and its products include: Gummies, foaming wash & shampoo, diaper cream, and hydrating baby lotion. This is definitely a line that I will recommend to my friends and family!
Now to the best treat of the entire convention, JR’s closing speech! I’ve heard about his speeches in the past, but nothing trumps hearing and seeing it live. JR’s passion and desire to touch lives through his words was definitely no secret on this day. After opening with a story of “hissing in a lot of pits,” JR immediately went into discussing the old vs. the new and telling how it only takes a billionth of a bolt to change the world. He used visual demonstrations to show the 25,000 entrepreneurs how to shake the bean jar and work in the homes. JR stressed to us the why and how to come off of the hamster wheel in order to become a new you and closed his speech sharing some of his magical moments.
My night ended at the Official After party with Loren, JR, Jaclyn, Andrew and the amazing Market America team. As I sat back and interacted with all of the wonderful people who made this experience so special to me, I couldn’t help but to reflect on all that has taken place over these last few days. I’ve attended lots of events and met lots of people from all over, but this time was different. Loren and JR are true leaders who have shown me that possibilities are endless and that in order to change your life, you must first focus on becoming a new you. This entire experience has changed my life, my thoughts and my story. As I depart, I take with me passion and motivation to continue to chase after my dreams at all costs.
Special thank you to Loren who has believed in me since day one and who is showing me how to become a better entrepreneur, a better leader, and a better me. You, JR, and Market America will forever hold a special place in my heart!
