We learned how to use an awsome calendar system so I suggest you block off your time for next years fling as soon as dates are announced.
Start thinking NOW about what you will need to get you to Fling.
Ticket: Estimate 170.00
Hotel: 39.00-99.00 a night (get roomies save $$)
Travel cost by car or plane (get car buddies save $$)
We started planning, saving and prepaying last year so it did not sneak up on us.
I would not be where I am now it I have not gone to Fling last year. I am pumped up and ready to rock. The invaluable day of Michael Clouse speaking was worth the total cost of the ticket. Speakers from every level....valuable time with the owners.
So get ready now...figure your budget...get it planned.

GREAT advice, Jennie! Out of ever single sale and every single commission check I get, I put away a certain amount towards the events.

It's easier when one figures out how much is needed, breaking it down like you did. THEN one knows how much of a goal is needed!

Missed Fling this year because, honestly, I had NO idea two months ago that I'd be back with Scent-Sations. But you can rest assured that not only will I be at Vegas and Fling, but I'll be speaking again! ;)

And once you get threre....from dinner Monday night and forward all your meals are included. We parked the Jeep Monday afternoon at the hotel (after going to the plant)...and did not leave the hotel until Thursday checkout. It is like being on an all inclusive fun, rocking, mentoring vacation.

also, if you fly into wilkes-barre, which I do, there is a shuttle that goes right to the airport. No worrying, really, about renting a car.

This was my first fling and it was AWESOME. Everything Jennie said above is right on track!! It was an awesome convention and I will be returning every year. You learn so much from just 2 days of training. The warehouse tour was awesome and it was gr8 to learn how it is all done. It truly is a family oriented atmosphere! Bobby, Charlie, Carmen and Lynn are awesome people! Your not just a number with this company, you ARE family!

If you have been on the fence about going to Fling in the past, start making your plans now to attend next year. Set money aside each and every month for your ticket, your room, travel and you'll have no worry's come July and August next year.

Like Jennie said above, once Monday evening hits with our first dinner, all meals are included, even breakfast if you stay at the Woodlands, until you leave on Thursday morning. AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!!!!!

Jennie, it was gr8 meeting you and your hubby! Will see you next year!
