Welcome to the stage, Wendy McGee! Wendy is sure to inspire us to become more and be better.

It’s time for us to reach and build a better future.

Dream and believe in what you can do! We are giving others the ability to fly as high as they want to fly! This is your time to have a little bit of freedom, to be home with your children, and to do what you want to do. There are no limits! If you have a “why” you have a reason.

What’s your why?

jennifer Company News

Good morning! Are you ready to fly? Our consultants sure are! It’s the start of a new day at the Heritage Makers Reunion convention. We have a lot of great speakers and some special announcements in store today.

We’ve got some special guests this morning. We’ll hear from Mary Christensen, Mary Reisgraf, and Wendy McGee.

Mary Christensen is up first. Mary is a direct-selling expert. In fact, Mary is the world’s #1 speaker and best selling author. This is sure to be fabulous.

Direct selling allows you to be anything you want. Our Heritage Makers business is so suited for women. The only way to get what we want is to help others get what they want. We are helping people tell their stories and sharing the gift of heritage.

When you love something, it just shines through…in your eyes, in your actions, in your lives. That’s why selling what we love is so important. Be enthusiastic, but don’t be a “predator.” Are you being scary Mary? Share your love, but don’t be scary.

Remember, all of us will be going home to “reality.” When you face reality, be sure to remember what you learned here at Reunion. No matter how many doubts or nay-sayers, take away a goal so powerful that every time you think about it your heart bursts. The only way to inspire others is to be inspired. Don’t settle for an ordinary goal. Every time you think of our goal, your entire face will light up! Your goal will eclipse anything on planet reality.

Wow, Mary! Thank for inspiring us all!

Let’s welcome Mary Reisgraf, our Rudy Executive, to the stage!

Mary is going to share the message of transformation.

Is your biggest obstacle in this business yourself? Why would you tell yourself that you can’t do something before you even start? If you give all of your attention to your faults, they become real and get in your way.What is it in your world that is stopping you from getting what you want?

Think about this: What is the one thing you really want to do but you don’t do it because of….? What is that thing that’s stopping you? Once you identify this problem, you can stop it. Once you identify it, you can move forward.

Think about what it would feel like to not have that on you. How does it feel? It’s time to appreciate yourself.

Thanks, Mary!

After a moving tribute to WASP, Brytt took center stage. (We’ll get the beautiful tribute video to the WASP on YouTube soon).

We’re talking about products, production, and fabulous giveaways. It’s going to be a great morning.

First up: Products

The first story we ever told was about a grandfather told by a granddaughter. Let’s continue telling our stories.

Carol Steen, a Heritage Maker, is sharing her love of story. She finds magic in everything she does.  Carol shares her “why”: it’s about her grandkids. Paychecks to travel and paychecks of the heart are what keep Carol going.

Like chocolate, preserving stories is savoring. You savor the experience. Carol urged everyone to take the ordinary moments and savor them. Capture your family roots, capture your message for the next generation, capture the joy and happiness, capture the memories, capture hope, capture the family stories, and savor the cherished times.

Be sure to ask someone who was at Reunion about Opera Voice…it’s an HM sound!

Our product brings the gift of love, captured to savor over and over again.

Next on the docket: Brytt shares with us 4 businesses in 1.

1. Storybooks. Storybooks is at the heart of what we do at Heritage Makers.

2. Greeting Cards: How often do you send a card? How often should you?The little things, like a greeting card, are what keeps a relationship alive.

3.  Photo Gifts: Calendars, playing cards, swatch and flip books. How large is the calendar industry? Playing card industry? Gifting industry?

4. Canvases

Now, we’ve got Lynda Angelastro on stage to talk about canvases.

We’ve got a surprise coming up on stage. What is it?
