MAIC2013: A Life Changing Event

Market America (MA) International Convention 2013 and its hashtag #MAIC2013 is now a memory, but what a memory! It is a life changing event! Many first timers to this convention will return home energized and enthused after witnessing how ordinary folks from all walks of life made it - succeeding in overcoming self-doubt, all kinds of obstacles, negativity both from family and friends to become time independent and free from financial worries for the rest of their lives!

More than 20 thousand entrepreneurs from across the continent and around the world convened in Greensboro, NC to learn, recharge and expand their business in new markets. These MA shop consultants not only learn how to create their own economy but during these 3 days, they injected more than $20 million into the Greensboro economy!

Excerpts from JR Ridinger, CEO & President of MA, at the finale:

"The theme for this year’s International Convention has been A New Company, A New Opportunity, and A New You. I hope that each one of you make the most of the amazing opportunity you’ve been given, and leverage the amazing power of the life-changing UnFranchise Business.

If I can leave you with one message, may it be this. If you’re not working for your dreams, you’re working for someone else’s – so chase your dreams with passion and tenacity, and one day you’ll be a hopeless success too!

I’d like to thank everyone for coming to the 2013 Market America International Convention and taking part in this incredible event with us. The energy you’ve brought here has made MAIC2013 an event to remember, and I hope each one of you leave Greensboro with a renewed sense of purpose, and a clear plan of action to help you reach your goals!"


Below is a testimony of Jacki Blasko, 2012 Jerry Siciliano award winner, shared by JR Ridinger:

Here’s Jacki's amazing message:

In 1996 I attended a Market America Leadership School in San Diego, CA. as a guest of a friend from High School.  When I said yes to attend, I was simply doing my friend a favor and thought I would see just another company with hype and a lot of promotion for the “latest & greatest DEAL”!!  I was pleasantly surprised to see a company with a heart that offered the BEST business model and system of training for owning a home business!  When I returned home to the Minneapolis area I found a great system of training in place that I could plug into and bring others who also wanted change and a system that would give us what we needed!

At the next International Convention in Greensboro I brought 21 other distributors and guests with me!  I took a bus with 10 people from Wisconsin & Illinois and others from Minneapolis and Chicago flew!  It was a powerful training and 10 of us heard JR talk at the Gala about the 10 Magic Moments of Market America!! Our belief in this company & what we could do with the knowledge we gained soared to a high!  We hit the ground running sharing what we learned doing Home Events and attending the NMTSS Events in the areas we lived in!

We were the “Midwest Miracles” with a mission!  (note the buttons on the last picture!)  As I look back I am so glad I was “too dumb to doubt”!  We had a BEEP Philosophy…Belief, Enthusiasm, Effort/Empower, Persistence!

Our income soared as did the incomes of the distributors we were helping!  We became Directors in just 18 months and most of those 10 that we brought to the Gala became 6-figure money earners in record time!!  Because of a GREAT team I was the “Fastest Growing Distributor in our Region” the next year!  Several of our Million Dollar Club members also were born at the 1996 first International Convention.  Now today my belief and passion to help more people have what we have because of MA is greater than ever!  Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to share what I believe in!

Blessings,

Jacki Blasko
