This is only the beginning

So my partner and I just finished the 3 day retreat in Orlando yesterday. WOW what a lot of information, but WOW are we estatic that we have taken this opportunity!! Stephen Edwards is simply AMAZING! His words are empowering, his consultants were really and truthfully there for our best interest! We asked questiins of a few different consultants and none of them pushed us away, or said things like "well I am not your consultant so I cant help you," they were all terrific!

We ended up getting the Diamond package because we know in our hearts that is opportunity has presented itself to us at this time in our lives for a reason. Don't get me wrong, the decision that Chris and I made was by far NOT an easy one to make. As recent as 2 months ago I was laid off from my job, we are now getting ready to "strategically default" on our mortgage because we are SO FAR under water I don't even know if there is a sky. No one is hiriing in retail managment from the outside of the comapny and if they are, its for a little above minimum wage. So I finally got a part time job as a cashier.....but I know (and I know Chris knows) THAT I AM BETTER THAN THAT.

We made the decision to make this change because we are tired, tired of working EVERY holiday, tired of working 50+ hours a week and making someone else rich. Other than me loosing my job 2 months ago, the same company told the remaining Managers across the globe that they aren't paying out bonus' because as a company the numbers weren't made. Funny thing is two weeks after that announcement Wall street reported that the CEO and VP got their bonus' of 7 million and 2.5 million respectively......hmmmmmm

On our way to the last day of the retreat (we drove an hour and 45 min each day, each way, beacuse we have dogs and couldn't find a sitter) we still werent sure what we were going to do. Then we got off the 528 and it was surreal......

The first billboard we saw was a BIG diamond in an ad for a jewelry store, then we passed a sign for a corporate complex named HORIZON, after we both saw that we were speechless....then when the light turned green we looked ahead to the three lane road and we were the only car on the road!

OUR JOURNEY HAS BEGUN! We are ready, we are exceited, and are looking forward to looking back on this month next year and celebrating a difference on our lives!!! THANK YOU STEPHEN EDWARDS for the passion and knowledge you shared with us - we will prove that we can make this system work for us!
