What You Need to Know BEFORE Seminar
July 13th, 2008 by Ann Vertel
At Seminar this year you will be inspired, changed, and profoundly moved. For many of you, your entire future will suddenly become crystal clear. It is truly an experience that can rock your world. From Seminar you will gain a new or clearer vision of your life and your business - guaranteed.
But if you go with a vision or ‘desired outcome’ of Seminar itself, you will ensure that upon your return, you are focused as well as inspired.
- What do you most need to learn while you are there?
- What would you most like to be thinking about on your return trip?
Let’s say you suddenly find yourself standing next to or riding in an elevator with one of your favorite Nationals.
If you’re not prepared, you may just stumble over your words, gush profusely because you can’t believe you’re in her presence, and later regret a missed opportunity. Think now about what you would most like to ask her - what you really want to know. Develop several very powerful, specific questions ahead of time so that when you have the opportunity to ask them, you will be prepared.
It will be easier for her to answer a specific question than a general one. “How do I become a National?” is too hard to answer, but “What has been the most effective tool you’ve used to get people to meetings?” gives her the opportunity to tell you exactly what works!
Be very, very specific about what you need, practice asking the questions, and know them cold before you go.
In order for Seminar to give you inspiration as well as focus, you must decide what you will return with and then seek it out while you are there.

P.S. What is the most productive step you are/have taken prior to Seminar to ensure that August is not just a ‘basking in the glow of Seminar’ month but powerfully productive and successful?

To think that WAS what I asked the first national I met…and then I learned to be more specific, and it impacted my life!
If there are women in this company who have made a lasting impression on YOUR life and that’s why you want to talk to them, then make it a point to make a lasting impression on them! Ann is totally right in that knowing WHAT and HOW to ask questions (of ANY MK sister, be it a Future Elite, Sales Director, or Queen of Sales…) leaves them remembering YOU!
I hold many NSDs near and dear to my heart because they have “put life into my life”! I haven’t found any NSDs I don’t adore (some of I enjoy most are: Mary Pat Reynor, JoAnn Blackmon, Rena Tarbet, Stacey James, and Miss Maddie).
Find someone who is where you are working to be! Look for women who share your vision, drive and focus while you are at Seminar, then then CLING to their shirttails and don’t let go!!! Surround yourself with the people you want to be like, who can positively influence your life & business & success. Make this your BEST SEMINAR EVER because you have an opportnity to meet more women of influence in one location than many will ever meet in their entire life!!!!
Ann is one in a million. She knows what she is talking about so take her advice and ACT on it, not just read it! Change begins with your thinking, includes believing, but requires ACTION!
Thanks for all you do, Ann!

This is my first seminar. I’m very excited. Tonight, before bed, I’m going to write at least 3 specific questions along with my 6 most important list. Thanks for this timely email.
