Absolute Power

I read. A lot.  My dream is to be a novelist, so I read a lot.  Right now I'm on Vacation to work on a novel.  This guy created

"National Novel Writing Month."

Nicknamed NaNoWriMo, or NaNo for short.  I've got just over 17,000 words out of the 50,000 required to "win" the contest.  If I could get myself working on the novel again, I'm quite sure I can knock out 10,000 words per day, and easily hit 50,000 before the end of the month.

I read Stephen King's book On Writing about the process of writing fiction. One of his biggest tips was to Read a Lot, Write a Lot. So i have taken that to heart.  That's why I finally broke down and read the Twilight books, but that's another post for another day.

Last night I was reading David Baldacci's novel Absolute Power.  I'm 99% sure that is the book that they made a movie out of that Clint Eastwood starred in.  I am thoroughly enjoying it.  It has a few characters with an incredible amount of drive and ambition. One of them is musing about how hard he's worked and what he sacrificied to get where he is.  He's thinking about his drive and ambition.  I thought to myself,

"What if?"

What if I could exert a little bit of drive, a little bit of consistent ambition?  I have incredible, enormous hopes and dreams for my life and the lives of those around me. There is a quote that says something to the effect of "A wish is a goal without backbone." Or "A goal without a plan is just a wish without backbone." I tried looking it up and couldn't find it.  Right now I am the epitome of that idea.  I have all sorts of dreams and goals and wishes.  A few of which I can't actually do much about.  But there are plenty I can make active plans and purposeful steps towards.

As I was pondering that last night, I thought, as I often do, about my business with L'Bri.  If I exerted a minimum of consistent backbone I could have more than a few active plans full of purposeful steps towards achieving some of those dreams.  And, that action may propel me forward in the areas that I can "do" less work in to achieve a certain goal. (i.e. being single; I can put myself out there and try dating etc, but at the end I can't "make" someone love me or want to marry me.)

What about you? do you have dreams without a backbone?  Do you have wishes without a plan? Do you need a vehicle to generate some income? or some self-esteem? or some public speaking skills? or some general leadership abilities?

We can be that vehicle!

For a small investment you can try us out and see if we fit!  I heard a speaker at our convention ask if L'Bri was the vehicle to achieve your dreams.  And I realized something, I love L'Bri. This is a company I can believe in and happily be a part of. This is a product I can offer every single one of my family, friends, acquaintances, and even strangers in good conscience.  We have a hostess opportunity and income opportunity I can believe in and, again, offer in good conscience. 

But what he made me realize, was that it is possible (incredible as I consider it ;) ) that this could not be the right vehicle for someone else.  That another company might be a better fit. I say all of this to say "I would love to help you start with us, give it a month or two, and see if we fit!  Give us a chance, give me a chance! 

I would be more than happy to sit down and discuss what our opportunities look like and how they might fit in with your life and goals. 
No pressure. No signatures in blood. 
Just a talk. 
What do you think?
Could we be exactly what you're looking for?
