Prepaid Legal

So in an effort to start a new life, I've started a new business. I have entered into the world of prepaid legal. I actually have been in the business for a couple of months now and have only sold one memebership...my mother. I have a wonderful sponsor who has helped me get some other things going for my business. I think I signed up at the wrong time and have absolutely no energy to give this new endeavor. It's not fair really. I see so many people being successfull at this business.

For instance, I spent the independence weekend at a convention in DC. It was a four-day extravaganza, full of day long training sessions and nighttime fun. I, however, could not fully enjoy myself because I was sick. I went, begrudgingly to this convention. I told my sponsor I didn't want to go. That was after she had secured me a ticket through someone else. Okay, so now I was obligated to go because I had said I wanted to go prior to a momentary breakdown of sorts and she was nice enough to make sure I could go since I never would register online for the event. Couldn't let her be responsible financially for the ticket she got for me, so away I went.

I got there Thursday early evening and hooked up with my hotel roommates at the gorgeous Gaylord Convention Center and Resort. This is where the event was held. It's a new facility that opened up recently. It is so nice there. I did shoot a few pictures with my camera on my phone because I actually forgot to pull my camera out of my car the entire weekend. We were told there would be fireworks Thrusday night and I was looking forward to that. We mixed and mingled about while awaiting the festivities. As darkness set in we all gathered around the Potomac (where the hotel sits) to see the beautiful firework display. It was so far off in the distance it looked as if someone was shooting them off in their backyard. How disappointing to a girl looks forward to seeing fireworks every year. I absolutely love the 4th of July for this reason.

Okay so there's always tomorrow, right? Well, after a full day of training sessions and a nice meal at a backyard bbq I was all ready to see the real fireworks. I have never been to DC for the 4th, so I wasn't aware they actually have them over the mall. For some reason I was under the impression they would be set off over the Potomac River...how silly of me. We were leaving the bbq as the fireworks were going off. I saw, at a distance, what looked like, again, another backyard firework celebration. Another disappointment. I had also begun to be taken over by what proved to be a very nasty cold that has not wanted to relinquish it's hold on me as of yet.

Long story short, I ended up staying in the hotel room for the next days training and tried to attend the evening session and the party following only to end up calling it a night before midnight. Well...there's always Vegas! I will have to see if I'm in a better mental place to attend the next convention coming up soon.

For now I have to try to glean some motivation from memories of the training that I just underwent over this past weekend so that I can get out there and sell some memberships. There were some really good examples given of why this is such a neccessary service. I have a memebership and use it pretty regularly. I can totally see why everyone should have a membership. I just need some energy.
