During what was considered a bad year in sales due to you know what – slow economy – I was able to still achieve 101% off my sales plan. The company sends the top 3 Solutions Sales Specialist in the country (I was #2) on a 5 day trip – which happened to be Ireland this year !! My wife was so excited about this trip when I told her last year this was a possible place to go – she said “you have to make it”. Mission accomplished and was it ever worth it !!! We stayed at a place called The Merrion in Dublin – an awesome 5 star hotel. I could write an entire blog entry on how awesome it is to stay in a 5-star hotel but to keep in short you are treated like Royalty. We went Horseback riding and did a city tour where we learned much about the history of Dublin (again an entire blog entry worthy). We had so much free time to just shop and sleep and relax (away from the Kids). If we were more into drinking we could have enjoyed the many Pubs that were around (we did get a tour of Guinness Storehouse), but we still enjoyed ourselves. If someone was to ask “what was the highlight of our trip” – I would say the entire experience of being taken care of as special guests from start to finish – you can take a trip somewhere and feel relaxed but everyone needs to experience the feeling of being treated like a “star” at least once in their life.
I apologize that I have been so slow with my posts lately… My son, Izaiah, celebrated his milestone 10th birthday last weekend. He is so into dancing I had to make this a “Best Dance Crew” type theme. He is also into stackers (stacking cups) and video games of course. But he is at his best when active and boy do we have to channel his energy into activities – he has so much, just watch him go… cause he goes ALL OUT !!
