I’ve been working alongside Forever Living for a while now, and a few weeks ago, I attended an absolutely fantastic event for network marketing professionals called Go Pro! Taking place in Las Vegas (where else?!), it’s a brilliant opportunity to meet other business owners and hear from truly inspirational speakers.
My trip began in Pheonix, Arizona – the location of Forever Living’s home office. At last, I had a chance to visit Forever Nutraceutical and see first hand how our wonderful products are made. What really fascinated me was that most of the products are checked and inspected by human beings, not machines. As a result, the quality control was amazing!
We then got to tour the home office – a fascinating experience, which included a visit to the CEO’s office! I was even allowed to sit in Rex’s chair, which was great, as were the paintings and many books in his room.
While touring the building, I also learned that a lot of the people employed by Forever have worked there a long time. They truly love and are passionate about the company, which is always a great sign in my opinion. However, I probably shouldn’t be too surprised, as I already know how well the company treats its business owners!
Pheonix was just the start; we still had the Go Pro event to look forward to! Having attended the event last year, I knew a bit of what to expect, and I was particularly looking forward to hearing this year’s speakers.
Full of excitement, we boarded the coach booked to drive us from Arizona to Vegas. However, before long, disaster struck…it broke down! I’d never been on a broken-down coach before, least of all in Vegas, so that was a first for me! After a three-hour wait, the mechanics arrived and made the necessary repairs, and we were on our way again. This meant we arrived in Vegas quite late, but that didn’t dampen our spirits. After all, we had a free day ahead of us to explore Vegas before the Go Pro event started on the Thursday!
The Go Pro event is a generic event for all network marketing professionals. There is a no recruiting policy and you are not to bring any branded items from your company. Instead, we were all there to learn from the best; after all, when you become more skilled, your business will grow.
As I discovered at last year’s event, Go Pro has the power to truly change your whole mind set – and this year was no different. Someone who particularly stood out to me was the singer Pitball, whose inspirational talk showed us we can all be anything we want to be. Pitball has a Facebook following of 57 million people and is a global superstar, and his journey started when he used to listen to Tony Robbins when he was younger in his mum’s car (though at the time he wasn’t really interested in him!). He also told us how he’d been fascinated and inspired by the fact that Colonel Sanders never gave up on his dream and kept trying, and as a result, KFC is the fourth-largest fast food chain in the world!
Another speaker was Brenden Burchard, an inspirational coach to many. His latest book, High Performance Habits, is brilliant and examines how we are all creatures of habit.
These are just a few highlights from this fantastic event. I came away having learned so much, and I’m now enjoying trying to implement it all! So if you’re a network marketing professional like me and in need of some inspiration, I can’t recommend Go Pro enough! See you there next year…?
When I came across network marketing I liked the idea and the business model looked great as it could fit around my life and I could still be there for my children where as if I did what I did before I would be swapping my time for money and going on the train to London everyday and I then wouldn’t be around very much.
