Convention…Is it worth going?  Did you ask yourself that question? Did you do what you needed to, to be where you needed to be?  Today’s post is my story of getting to the Yoli Blast Off Convention.  I hope you enjoy it.

The Yoli Blast Off Convention happened Jan. 22-24^th 2010, at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.  It was non-stop action, from registering, going to the Yoli store, and the late evening reception on Friday night to hanging out with other distributors after a day of incredible training from some of Network Marketing and Yoli’s top leaders on Sunday.  But a more about that in my next post.

My story begins several months back when I found out the dates of the Yoli Convention.  Michael and I knew that of course we were going to go, after all, we all know the saying “Leaders are born at Events.”  So we booked our room, and made sure that we had tickets, and started getting ready for a once in a lifetime experience.  Then sometime in December, Michael changed jobs, and circumstances being what they may, Michael was not going to be able to join me for the Yoli Blast Off Convention after all!  So, I changed my plans, and asked my dear friend, and fellow Yoli distributor to go with me.  After all, we could make it a girl’s weekend away!  The plans were made, and both of us were getting very excited!

The anticipation was building, this was going to be a very special event.  Keynote speakers like Yoli’s very own Bryan Clay, World’s Greatest Athlete, and one of the greatest athletes of all time, Carl Lewis, a big launch party with Yoli Founder and CMO, Corey Citron spinning, and a Sunday training with some of Yoli’s top leaders.  This was going to be FUN.  I was a little worried about the weather. We live in Los Angeles, and had always planned on driving, we figured what was the worst that could happen? Who knew LA would be hit by 4 huge storms in a row!

Finally the day had come, we were both all packed, I woke up early, and checked my phone.  PROBLEM, there is a text message from my friends daughter, telling me my friend is deathly ill, and there is no way she is coming with me.  Now as bad as I felt for my friend, I was heartbroken, and to be honest a bit scared to go by myself.  I paced around my house for hours, I was upset!  The rain was pouring outside, my parents had called suggesting I not go because of the weather, and I needed to get on the road because I WAS GOING TO CONVENTION!!  To not go was never an option!

I got on the road and began the 271 mile drive, it was raining, and I don’t mean a little drizzle, I mean a steady downpour!! I pushed on.  It rained, at time torrential for the first couple of hours.  As I continued the drive, the rain did start to come down less hard, but as I looked down at the thermometer in my car I realized that was because it was no longer rain, but snow that was falling, but I pushed on, laughing, as I have only seen snow falling a handful of times in my life, I thought it was neat at first.  Then it started coming down faster, harder and bigger, and I just kept hoping I was going to get through before chains were needed.  I just kept on driving, and as soon as I was through the blizzard, the rest of the drive was one of the most beautiful and scenic drives I have ever made, snow covered mountains, 3 different rainbows along the way, and then finally I was in Vegas!  Maybe things were going to be alright…

I checked into my room at Bally’s, had my luggage brought up and started to get settled, only to find used soap, toothpaste, and other miscellaneous used toiletries in the drawer by the bed, AND the safe didn’t work, time to change rooms!  So they got me a new room, a few floors away, and then with no bellhop or any help, I lugged all my stuff to the new room.  I was really starting to think that it was not my day!  I went to go find Julie Booz, my friend and Sponsor but somehow could not find her, connect with her, or anyone else I knew for that matter.  I was on the verge of tears, I was there, but ready to give up.

But then, something happened, the magic of Yoli you could say.  As I was walking though the walkway, looking at all of the YOLI banners hanging.  I ran into Robert Meyers and his wife Lyn.   I had met them several times at events in Los Angeles, but it was like seeing old friends, Lyn seeing how upset I was, made sure I had their number, and that if I wasn’t able to find the people I was looking for to make sure to call them, I knew I was not going to be alone!  So I walked over to registration, and bumped into Corey Citron, who was surprised to hear that I was alone, and about how my day had been going (how nice, that he took the time to see how I was, even as the launch of both his Company and Event were about to occur!) I assured him I would be fine, and we went on our way.  I then registered and checked out the amazing Yoli Store, and started talking to people, my day was changing before my eyes, and I realized I was exactly where I needed to be!!

By the way, in case you don’t know the kind of person Corey Citron is (we all know what an amazing marketer, leader and mentor he is but I mean what kind of person,) he texted me about an hour later to make sure that I was okay,  As I said the magic of Yoli was happening around me.

And then the events began, there was a late night reception put on by my upline where I was fortunate enough to be hanging out with our team along with some of the top leaders in the company, Eugene Hong, Janice Stiglietz, Julie Booz and of course the Founders made an appearance as well.  What a way to start things off!  And this is only the beginning!!  Check back here in the next few days to read the rest of my Convention story, I promise you, it only gets better in every way!! And remember until next time NEVER BLAST ALONE!!

Just wanted to let everyone know, I am in the process of writing my post, thank you all for visiting NEVER BLAST ALONE.  Convention was amazing, and I can’t wait to post pictures, videos. Announcements and more!!  Stay tuned!!!  Check back, later…

Yoli Convention Las Vegas January 22-24th 2010. Make sure to get your tickets now (click here), and book your rooms while there are still some available at the special Yoli discounted rate (For Bally’s $89.00 rate click here)(For the Paris Hotel $125.00 rate click here). You don’t want to miss this once in a lifetime event!! Just think about it, with the type of prelaunch we have already been having can you imagine what our official launch is going to be like? That’s right, not only is January 22nd – 24th 2010 Yoli’s First Annual Convention, but it is also Yoli’s official Launch Date.

What a weekend! Launch and Convention. 2 very big events in the Network Marketing world, and we are going to be able to experience both in Las Vegas January 22-24th 2010. If you ever wanted to be first, there at the beginning this is your chance. There will never be another OFFICIAL YOLI LAUNCH!

I am sure you are thinking to yourself only the leaders go to big events like Convention or the big Launch Party, but that’s where your so wrong. It has been said by many in the Network Marketing Industry that “Leaders are Born at Events.” Does that mean if you show up you’re promised to become a leader? NO, but I bet you that all the future Yoli leaders will be there!! This will be the place where you can meet all 6 of the Yoli Founders, get some great training from industry and Yoli leaders, meet other distributors, hear keynote speaker like Yoli’s own Carl Lewis and Yoli Distributor Bryan Clay and try Yoli’s newest Sports Formulation FUN, the Yoli Sports Blast!!

So many things happen during these events! Who knows what it might be that you take away that will help you with your business. It might be something inspirational you hear from the stage, it might be the new friend you make while shopping in the store, it might be the training you get from other distributors. Who knows and the possibilities are endless. Get to convention, bring your team. Make sure to enjoy yourself, as the Founders keep reminding us, this is a company full of people who like to work hard, but they like to play hard too.

Of course we here at Never Blast Alone will be there in Las Vegas, and hope to meet many of you in person. If you see us, come up and introduce yourself. So, until next time, remember, NEVER BLAST ALONE!!

Yesterday evening Yoli Founder and CMO, Corey Citron opened his house for his own Yoli Blast Off Home Party. What was really amazing, was this meeting was planned in less than 72 hours, and more than 100 people attended.

Sheldon Collins opened up the night introducing Corey, and Corey just took off from there. Besides a extremely comprehensive presentation, we all also got to see a very rough cut of the upcoming Opportunity Video, and all I can say is I am sure glad I am a part of this company!

We also saw Yoli’s brand new sustainable bottle (it is not the bottle in the pictures below) that will be available in a few weeks, and it is really something special, can’t wait to have my branded one!

Here are a few pictures from the night, enjoy! And remember NEVER BLAST ALONE!!

Yoli has announced that the first Blast Cap to be introduced will be “Truth” Yoli Health Blast. Yoli Health Blast has over 19 Vitamins and Minerals, including 100% Vitamins C and Zinc.  In addition, each Health Blast Proprietary Blend includes Yoli’s patented Alkaplex Formula (a unique ph enhancer), Anti-Oxidants: Acai, Oxyphyte White Tree Extract, Goji 40% Ellagic Acid, Pomegranate Juice Powder, as well as, GABA (Calming), Resveratrol (Healthy nutrient in red wine), and Beta 1,3 d-glucans (Immune Booster).

But that’s not all, all Yoli Blast Caps use the Blast Cap Technology.  They are all 100% Natural Color & Flavoring.  They include Live Active Ingredients.  They DO NOT contain any sugar. Blast Caps are sweetened with Stevia Reb-A (an Herbal Sweetener), and therefore have a Zero Glycemic Index, meaning it is a product that is safe for Diabetics!! And they all have Yoli’s unique ph enhancer, it’s patented Alkaplex Formula.

Have you heard the news?  Everyone is talking about it.  Yes it is true, Corey Citron is one of the founders of Yoli.  Here check out his website and see for yourself, http://www.CoreyCitron.com In the meantime, let me tell you a little bit about Corey and why this is so exciting.

Corey grew up in Miami, worked hard in school, got good grades, and went to Stanford, graduating with a degree in economics.  But, Corey didn’t see things as black and white once he graduated, so instead of continuing on to graduate school, Corey opened a nightclub on South Beach.  Well as much fun as that was, Corey realized that wasn’t going to work either.  Around the same time, someone invited him to his first mlm opportunity meeting, and as they say the rest is history.

Corey has been in the business for almost 15 years.  At his last company, Corey had a downline of more than 100,000 people, spanning over 25 countries.  He was a top producer, and a 7 figure yearly income earner.  He has been combining old school and new school marketing techniques, and has been passing on that knowledge to all who will listen.  He has been called a “Master Motivator” by those who have had the opportunity to work with him.  He is a sought after motivational speaker, industry consultant, featured author and is regularly invited to speak in front of crowds ranging from hundreds to thousands of individuals. Corey is widely recognized as an industry leader and visionary.

I could go on and on.  But as I said before you can check it out yourself.  Corey is a leader, a mentor and a friend, and any company he is at the helm of is destined to succeed.
