What's Up Wednesday 7/15

So I've missed a couple of Wednesdays lately, but things have been so busy! I've had wedding craziness, newlyweds moving, and Premier Designs National Rally!

Premier Designs National Rally 2015- Initially, I didn't think I would be able to go.  Summer has turned out to be pretty tight for us, due to fewer work hours for Jason and less loan money.  But we found a way to make it work (and happy birthday to me)! I rode out to Ft. Worth, TX with three other women (including my sponsor/sister!).  It was a good trip! We made good time and were able to make it to the Wednesday night festivities.  My sister and I roomed with two other women, who were great.  It was an exhausting day, but we were all excited.  The following days were filled with information, excitement, emotion, and exhaustion.  So very much to process.  This is what I took away from Rally:
1) I really got to know the heart of Premier Designs.  I knew they were a company founded on Biblical principles. Not only that, but they are still running on Biblical principles.  They really do strive to serve people, not the bottom line.  They support missions and missionaries in 62 countries worldwide! We got to meet just a handful of the amazing people and ministries that Premier supports. They are also incredibly generous to us jewelers.  There are rewards for every accomplishment and contests to challenge and reward us as well. They give us every tool we need to be a great success in this business.
2) There was so much encouragement and great ideas to help me in my business.  It takes work and dedication, but I can succeed!! Hearing from so many successful people was inspiring.  They started off much like myself and have accomplished so much!
3) There was also so much encouragement on a personal level- to be the person that God made you to be, to rely on Him instead of your own strength.  It is awesome that going to a "business conference" was so very much more that just that.  It enriches every part of your life.  I am still in awe and overwhelmed by just what happened in that conference center in Ft. Worth, TX.

Path to Graduate School-  I have finally registered for a prerequisite class for my MBA.  I am taking my prerequisites as an undergrad to give me time to take the GMAT later this year.  I was panicking thinking that I had to take it this summer in order to start classes this fall, but now I can wait until next fall to begin my master's classes.

Theme of the Moment- Consistency in my business and personal life as well.
