USANA Convention 2007

Second time around - we were experts this time! We arrived a day early for a home office tour, knew where to shop and where they sold the 4% beer! Once again, I was joined by Andrea and Lee-Anne - although this time neither was pregnant! Team FirePower had grown significantly, and we had a name! There were about a dozen of us from the English speaking side of the team that year.

It was a very different experience this time. The energy was different, there had been a few challenges for the company in 2007, although we still achieved record growth even with those challenges. We had the chance to meet some amazing associates from around the globe. One of my favorite moments was when Werner Berger spoke (http://www.wernerbergerstory.com/) - he is the oldest North American to have summited Everest, and a USANA Associate. Hiking to Everest Base Camp has always been one of my dreams, and meeting Werner was very special for me. I still have his autographed poster in my office.

Now that I had been in the business for a year, I was starting to having a better understanding of what it was all about. I was also given an award this year, for Top 25 Preferred Customer Enroller. I was very proud of this honour - but it goes back to what I was saying before -this award was based soley on my own efforts and not of my team. I still had a long way to go.
