Last week I got to head back to Milwaukee for to celebrate wins, create new friendships, and learn more about how to strive to be the best advisors that each of us can be. This trip was by far the highlight of my time so far at Northwestern Mutual, and I can't wait for more to come.
The first thing we did at the start of Trailblazer was fill out a scavenger hunt sheet with names of other advisors that fit the criteria for that question (ex: who has 5+ pets) and whoever had the most "prospects" won a prize the next day. If you know me, you know that I'm an extremely competitive person, so of course, I had to win that scavenger hunt. Any guesses on how many people I was able to introduce myself to and meet within under 24 hours? 56 people!
I got to meet 56 incredibly kind souls, all with different backgrounds, from different states, and with different reasons why they're in this business (and that was only in the first 24 hours). To those of you who it was only a quick introduction and a signature, I thank you for contributing to my win and to those who I've formed deeper friendships with, I'm blessed that God has placed you in my life.
Special shout-outs to those I didn't get a picture with, with Isaac Johnson taking the spotlight for a very impactful spiritual conversation on our flight back to Minnesota. A tip I gained from him: if you're not sure how to tithe as a newer business owner with variable income, just take $100 (or whatever amount you’d like), write a Bible verse on it, and slide it under someone's door at your apartment complex each month, and keep moving down the hall as the months go on.
Sad to say that almost everyone featured in this post lives in states other than Minnesota, but absence makes the heart grow fonder, right? Looking forward to seeing you all at Regional & Annual Meeting!
