Russian convention 2008

From one week to the next the excitement does not stop. So, straight from the UK meeting Dr Naidu and I went to Moscow for the 2008 convention. We met up with Bob Richards, Vitaly, his staff and over 1,000 other people. It was great. Lots of prizes won, awards given and we all said thanks to everyone for making Russia a huge success. It was great to see old friends and meet new ones.
Afterwards the party really got going. Before the first course was finished nearly everyone was dancing or taking pictures of Bob, Dr N, Vitaly, me and themselves. It was another really fun night.

UK staff enthralled

I think it's important for everyone to hear what Dr Naidu, Curtis Bennett and Sharon Weinstein have to say. So we arranged for them to speak to our office staff this afternoon. Unfortunately Dr N was held up, but Curtis wowed everyone and Shoron added extra impact.

UK Meeting starts

Here are the UK group listening to Sven.







Now it's lunchtime

Oh I love Paris

Dr Naidu, Curtis Bennett and Sharon Weinstein captivated the audience. It was incredible to hear them. I think everyone came out of the meeting knowing we had the best products and a successful business. Though many might not fully understand the technology behind the products we all felt comfortable that it works and helps others.

I did think we were going to run into some problems as a race was held for 13,000 women on this Sunday. The roads all round the hotel were blocked off, and with nearly 700 people coming to see you that can be a little worry. I decided to have a look (and get a coffee) - hence the pictures of the runners. Everyone was in good spirits and the roads opened about two hours before we were due to start.

German Event in Augsburg

As I said in my tweets and on Facebook, this was a great day. Around 800 people all inside - it was really hot that day - soaking up the information and creating a lively event.

Thanks to everyone involved who made this a day to remember.

Here are the photographs for the Friday before the event.

Here are the ones when the event was actually on, Saturday 6th.

Nikken Tour

Nearly 800 people spent the day listening to some great people (no not just me) in Germany. Pictures and video will be available when I get home as I have trouble uploading it. So check back here in a day or so time.

For updates of the tour check out my twitter page or look at the right hand side of this blog.

Today is Paris and about 650 people are looking forward to hearing from Dr N, Curtis and Sharon.

The power of positive thinking

Here is a real life example of how positive (or negative) thinking affects us.

The economy has been in the news a lot. I notice that from one day to the next feelings change. These are published and then all sorts of hell breaks loose.

For example:
Day 1 - reports that consumer confidence is low
Day 2 - oil prices drop
Day 3 - retail results indicate no recession
Day 3 - oil prices go up
Day 4 - a government official has a bad nights sleep and announces "recession will hit hard"
Day 5 - currencies plunge
Day 6 - rumours that interest rates must rise
Day 7 - currencies rise
Day 8 - Business owners are now saying it's not as bad as the government makes out.
Day 9 - the stock market rises
and so on and so on.........

We seem to be on a roller coaster ride that affects our daily lives based on the feelings people have about the future. The issue here is that good things happen if we are confident and positive about the future. The future will happen and our feelings today shapes what will happen tomorrow.
So do not think about the doom and gloom. Be happy!

Wake up and smell the fruit

Sometimes things are so obvious I forget them. I had a conversation with a Consultant about the Kasai range. It's a great product range and we are looking at introducing new bottles. However, the conversation was about Purple Berries and how good it was. I had a bottle on my shelf, unopened. I opened it, smelt it and WOW!!!! I had forgotten how great it smells. Try it! I've inflicted this on a few people in the office and everyone seems to like it. It's one of Janne's favourite products. You can even taste the berries when you put the capsule in your mouth.

Goodness the natural way.
