DISCOVER YOUR POWER
A lot of times, when we hear the word “power” we think of strength or control. But there’s another definition of power. The Oxford English Dictionary defines power as “the ability or capacity to do something or act in a particular way.” All too often, we underestimate or forget our own power—our ability to act and to achieve certain goals. That is why Convention and all Melaleuca events are so important. They are designed to help you realise your own power and ability. Nothing compares to sitting in a room filled with thousands of Marketing Executives and listening to their stories of how Melaleuca enhanced their lives. It’s a transformative and revealing experience. Executive Director 4 Sherry Bedinger said of her first Melaleuca Convention, “I walked into Convention and I saw thousands of ordinary people just like me doing extraordinary things. And I thought, ‘If they can do it, then I can do it too.’” You are capable of building a Melaleuca business— you have that power. You might not see it now, but come to Convention and you will.
YES, YOU ARE CAPABLE!
When you’re at Convention, you can see firsthand the impact your efforts will have on many others just like you. Senior Director 8 Jessica Wrabel spent two years as a Melaleuca Preferred Member and Marketing Executive before attending her first Convention. “I took my time,” she says. But when she walked into Convention 2017, all of that changed. “Seeing all the normal, average people building their businesses really lit something in me,” she recalls. “I said, ‘There’s no difference between them and me. They’re just moms and dads building their businesses. I can do what they’re doing.’” At Convention, she got a chance to rub shoulders with some very successful business builders—and quickly realised some things. First, there were no shortcuts. Their success was built on consistently making the right efforts. And second, these people were approachable and more than willing to help and share. “Convention is a constant reminder that it’s not about you,” Jessica observes. “It’s about helping others.” Jessica felt immersed in Melaleuca’s culture for the first time. She soaked up all the knowledge and training she could during Convention. Then she went home and went to work, developing multiple Directors 3 and advancing to Senior Director 8 over the ensuing months. “I didn’t go to Convention for two years,” Jessica says again. “Then I finally went, and it changed my life.”
