It was non-stop learning, networking, note-taking--very little rest. Like I said in my pre-conference blog post, 'this was no vacation.' But despite the brain overload and the seven hours of driving I did in three days, I am energized and motivated to put in place the wealth of information I learned.

The workshops I took will be instrumental in moving my business forward in the coming year. Besides being good for my business, the ideas of the 'Clearing Clutter the 'Fun' Shui' Way' class I took are already being put to work in my own home. Before I started writing this post, I took a block of time and did some de-cluttering in my home office which has become a repository for items having nothing to do with my business. The instructor told us that "Clutter blocks the flow of prosperity." I'll be doing some more de-cluttering after lunch...
I'm looking to move forward with the social media part of my business so I took workshops on YouTube and Blogging. I learned how a presentation is like a hamburger in a public speaking workshop and discovered the 'ABC's' of organizing photos.
But the BIG news is about the local NAPO chapter I belong to--NAPO-Northern New Jersey. This year NAPO National partnered with Soles4Souls--an organization that collects new and used shoes to distribute to those in need. They offered all NAPO chapters a challenge--who could collect the most pairs of shoes? Nationwide, over 100,000 pair of shoes were collected by over 30 local chapters. But who won the competition? NAPO-Northern New Jersey--collecting a whopping 24,561 and beating out chapters double in size!

I could go on and on about this amazing conference--the people I met, the fun I had, but it's time to go back to de-cluttering my home office the 'Fun Shui' way. Gotta let that prosperity flow...

Stacey, So happy to. Hear the conference was great. Sounds like you have lots of new ideas . The Feng Shui sounds interesting. Looking forward to organizing my new file system w/ you in the near future!
Great to hear from you, Nancy! Thanks for your comment. The Conference was and always is an incredible learning experience. Looking forward to seeing you and meeting your new file system soon!
Congratulations on coming home and immediately implementing some of the new ideas you picked up at Conference. So often that motivation wanes when we get back to our everyday lives and the work that piled up while we were away. Keep it up!
Thanks, Janet.
I thought it was important to apply what I learned in that 'Fun Shui' workshop as soon as i got home! The workshops I took will help me upgrade my business in 2012-2013. My Conference binder is on my desk--I review a couple of pages of notes every few days so I won't forget what I learned!
