So I've been involved in LegalShield for six months now and it's hard to believe it's already been half a year. When I started I didn't see the big deal about the meetings... Super Saturdays were amazing but of course that's only once a month (though there was two in May)... but the weekly briefings and trainings? Yea I didn't see it.

Fast forward six months: Almost every week I've heard "If you've had a good week the briefing needs you. If you've had a bad week, you need the briefing." It's Tuesday night... the briefing starts right at 7:30pm, doors open at 7 and I'm used to being there about 6:30. Six o'clock rolls around and passes and I get a little worried... six thirty and I'm calling to find out my phone dropped the most important message of my night and I'm stranded at home on the other side of town from the briefing. Where six months ago this would've been fine to me, tonight I spent about an hour and a half sitting in the driveway, tears streaming down my face calling and texting everyone I can think of to try to find any other way that I can get there. Now two hours later I'm here... still squeezing out the few tears that are left in me, my eyes burning and all I want is a really big hug.

I've been taught

The Ten Core Commitments
start where you know you can and work on working the rest into your routine... none of this is "required"
1. Fast Start Qualify
- missed my 30 days but still working on it
2. Two Exposures A Day
- I average one a day (still some work to be done)
- Don't let your minimums be your maximums
3. Attend Your Briefing Each Week
- 52 Week Commitment
> if you miss a week you start back at week 1
4. Attend Your Training Each Week
- 52 Week Commitment
> if you miss a week you start back at week 1
5. One Long Distance Package Each Week
- Definitely need to start doing this one... even if "start" is one a month
6. Attend Your Monthly Super Saturday
- I have NEVER missed a Super Saturday event
- This month's is Sat Oct 27th <3
7. Attend Two Conventions A Year
- I went to Dallas and I'm going to OKC in April and plan on Dallas again next year if they open it to everyone again
8. Personal Development
- 10 pages a day of a good book
- 15min a day of positive audio
- association is EVERYTHING
9. Workout Partner
- I need to find someone who will push me
10. Be Here a Year From Now (and 1-9)
- Really, where else would I be that has brought on the positive changes I want in my life and that would have this kind of amazing associations
- "If you give up on your business you're not giving up on or quitting LegalShield... you're quitting life by giving up on yourself."

I want Thursday to come quick... I need my training night.

*hugs* yes, more of them. You can never have too many. I hope Thursday's meeting goes better for you =)

*hugs back*
Thank you. I'm making sure tomorrow that I KNOW I have a way to get there on Thursday. If I miss a whole week I might end up falling back into my depression funk =/ And I know Bubba picked up on it tonight that something wasn't right with mommy
