What is financial independence? It means you can wake up and decide if you want to work...or not. Personally, I have no interest in retiring - maybe because it is at least 20 years away, but this was a great workshop that has 8 steps to financial independence. <br /><br />#1 Financial Self Awareness - You must get a clear understanding of your current financial situation<br /><br />#2 Focus on what you CAN control - Who are you listening to...and does that change how you act and think?<br /><br />#3 Get organized!<br /><br />#4 Write specific financial goals<br /><br />#5 Create a more realistic spending plan<br /><br />#6 Pay yourself first - keep saving for the future<br /><br />#7 Pay off credit cards and establish an emergency fund<br /><br />#8 Find a good advisor<br /><br />How many of these can you say you've done? I can personally say that I haven't done ANY of them. But my compelling outcome is to be financially independent...so I am ready to start working on Step #1 - getting a clear understanding of my current financial situation.Janice Airplanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04966242023604189223noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1266241868172199440.post-44318987118739388142009-03-07T14:04:00.000-08:002009-03-07T14:28:28.896-08:00Leader of the PackOur NAEOP President conducted a session called "Leader of the Pack". She covered the six principles of leadership<br /><ul><li>The Power of Self-Mastery</li><li>The Power of Focus</li><li>The Power with People</li><li>The Power of Persuasive Communication</li><li>The Power of Execution</li><li>The Power of Giving</li></ul>We learned what color we are:<br /><br />We had to choose between orange, gold, green or blue<br /><br />I thought I would be blue...and I was - but I was also a little bit of each one of those colors. There is nothing wrong with being one color or being them all.Janice Airplanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04966242023604189223noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1266241868172199440.post-91060648332711609882009-03-07T09:19:00.000-08:002009-03-07T10:28:45.080-08:00Conference is in full swingIt is Day 3 of the conference, and we are all in attendance at the Membership meeting. I'm looking around the room at all the ladies in Red, White, and Blue!<br /><br />We got our wires crossed and half of us wore Red, White, and Blue yesterday!<br /><br />The entertainment has been stellar, including the Irish clog dancers at Affiliate's Night, the bagpipers and choral group at Opening Ceremonies, the barbershop quartet at the Membership Breakfast...and I hope you enjoyed our surprise Rolling Chair Drill Team performance. We are going to post the video to this blog very soon. We have already gotten our first booking - at the 2012 NAEOP Conference (which will be held in California). Just drop me a line if you would like to schedule a performance at your next big event!<br /><br />I've also admired all of the centerpieces at each of our events. I noticed many ladies carrying off new decor for their homes or offices. Hey, $5 for the flowers and vases and $15 for those handpainted pots and paper flowers, that's a deal you can't beat.<br /><br />Friday was such a whirlwind day. The opening ceremonies included welcome greetings from many local dignitaries. The Superintended of San Diego Unified School District voiced his support for CAEOP, and he spoke eloquently about how important his office professionals are in his organization and for fulfilling the mission of schools. I especially enjoyed Dr. Mark Arapostathis - the Vice Mayor of La Mesa, who spoke from his heart about all the roles of office staff that he's seen in his years of teaching; counselor, boo-boo healer, mediator, translater, and disciplinarian.<br /><br />Carol LeBeau was the Keynote Speaker and gave a one-hour talk, "Healthy for Life", which touched on keeping ourself both physically and mentally well. I really liked that she touched on <span style="font-style: italic;">thinking </span>before you say "yes", and asking yourself (1) Why am I saying yes? (2) By saying yes to this, will I have to say no to something more important? (3) Am I only saying yes so that someone will like me or I feel accepted?<br /><br />Cherie Leonard gave a rousing two-hour presentation about the power of breaking down goals into achievable chunks. We learned that the language we use to describe our compelling outcome (instead of calling it a "goal") can give impetus to ACTION! Instead of using words like "should" or "later" or "never", say "I'm ready to begin working on..." and you'll find yourself beginning! That first action creates momentum - ask yourself "What is the next right thing to do?" We looked at the anatomy of the words <span style="font-style: italic;">commitment</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">perseverance</span>. It is through commitment that we come forth with "might" in a strong and powerful way, and perseverance means that we are cutting off the option to quit.<br /><br />We were released to pursue our own dinners, and boy did I have a good one! The La Mesa-Spring Valley contingent went to Hash House a Go Go in Hillcrest. Not only did we eat to our heart's content, we carried away many boxes of food to nibble on for the rest of the weekend.<br /><br />Such fun. The membership breakfast and meeting is done, and I want to give my full attention to our keynote session this morning "Silver Linings".Janice Airplanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04966242023604189223noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1266241868172199440.post-68166782099248975892009-02-22T10:12:00.000-08:002009-02-22T10:39:35.570-08:00Big Surprise at Conference on Friday<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidgBhh2EvMTaDC9aIF3XlrVRg5OaW6GaHjlhIkFFlsO6XQryMXCQjmBHsj4EmAkmB8NOGPjdBphZQBzZBHmE7nwgcTiVgWBhyphenhypheng7G3GXiEbua5XkcL87AHUSLYMQVa_0XM5vIbCxdhEZoA/s1600-h/images.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 124px; height: 124px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidgBhh2EvMTaDC9aIF3XlrVRg5OaW6GaHjlhIkFFlsO6XQryMXCQjmBHsj4EmAkmB8NOGPjdBphZQBzZBHmE7nwgcTiVgWBhyphenhypheng7G3GXiEbua5XkcL87AHUSLYMQVa_0XM5vIbCxdhEZoA/s320/images.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305688471253558994" border="0" /></a>I can't tell you very much about the BIG SURPRISE on Friday after the General Session.

I recommend packing one or two<br />outfits per day - in case you want to change from the business casual clothes into<br />something more evening appropriate or you spill something horrible on yourself.<br />Keep in mind the average temperatures for San Diego in early March are a high of<br />66 and a low of 53.<br /><br />Here is a suggested list that I put together. It is neither all-inclusive nor required,<br />in fact I don't own or use many of these things! However, this will give you an idea<br />of what to think about packing.

I was working as a Library Clerk at an elementary school. Kim J., the school's Secretary, suggested that I go with her (<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Mistake 1</span>.) It was in Newport Beach that year, which was convenient because my parents lived nearby. I wouldn't even have to get a hotel room (<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Mistake 2</span>.) Practically all the meals were pre-paid so I only brought a few dollars (<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Mistake 3<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">.) </span></span>So, I threw some comfy clothes (<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Mistake 4</span>) into a bag and drove up from San Diego.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Why were these mistakes? <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">... and where exactly were the silver linings?<br />1. Kim J. didn't even actually go that year - she canceled out after I'd already registered and made plans. When I got to the conference I didn't know a single person! I scanned the room for the table with a tent sign that had my district's name on it. <span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">When I left the conference I had a dozen new friends! The conference attendees were mostly longtime CAEOP members that welcomed me and made me a part of the group from the start. I met Library Clerks from other districts, too. <span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">Lesson for me: Finding others that do the same kind of work reduces isolation and creates a network of resources for the future. It is okay, and even wonderful, to come alone - believe me you'll leave with a bunch of new friends. As the conference scout, I am ready to befriend each and every newcomer - so I'll be looking for you!<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">2. Even though I saved money by staying with my folks, I wished that I'd been able to stay at the hotel. Some of the nights can run late (especially if you stay up in the lobby talking and talking...), and those morning meetings are starting before you know it. It is also nice to be able to run up to your room and rest, use the bathroom and spiffy up, or change clothes between events (more about that later.) <span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">Since I didn't have a room, my new friends invited me up to their room between events and even gave me a mini-makeover before the Installation dinner (thanks Sandie C. and Vicki B.) <span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 51);"><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">Lesson for me: I get a room. Over the years I've had four different roommates! Each and every time we stayed up half the night talking and laughing (remember Carol P., Andi L., Gail S., Kathy C.?) This year...Teri C. (our fabulous decorations chair) will be my roomie - look for the bleary eyes and happy faces...that'll be us!<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">3. Yes, the meals are pre-paid, but I only brought a few dollars and there were remarkable things at the vendor/craft fair that I ended up wanting to buy! There was jewelry and art and handbags and scarfs and ... so many other things. <span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">My new friends loaned me $5 to buy some raffle tickets - and I won! <span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">Lesson for me: Bring some extra cash. Not only do I want to be able to buy things from the vendors if I see something I like, the raffles are great fun. Also, Friday night is "on your own" and you'll want to go to a fun restaurant...scroll down to the first posting for a list of local recommendations.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">4. Finally, throwing a few comfy things in a bag? What was I thinking? I was not prepared for the dress code at the conference! I walked in with a pair of jeans and a T-shirt, and I was surrounded by elegant women in slacks and blouses or skirts and sweaters! I was clearly underdressed. And remember, I had not brought much money. <span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">I asked my new friends to tell me about the rest of the weekend and I counted 6 (yes, 6!) clothing changes would be needed. I jumped in my car, drove to the nearest thrift store, and bought 6 outfits. <span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">Lesson for me: Bring lots of clothes. While there is no official dress code, the word Professional is part of our group's name! The Installation Dinner, in particular, is very dressy AND there is a photographer there that takes a picture.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Watch for a future posting with a suggested packing list for conference!<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">~ Respectfully, your conference scout</span></span></span></span></span> </span></span></span> </span></span> </span> </span><br /></span></span></span><br /></span>Janice Airplanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04966242023604189223noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1266241868172199440.post-44964954531084924132009-01-21T16:31:00.000-08:002009-01-21T16:41:30.305-08:00Thursday ActivitiesI see that two things are happening on Thursday, March 5th.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;">Pre-Conference Tour</span><br />If you have never visited San Diego, there is a Pre-Conference Tour with Old Town Trolley Tours that you won't want to miss. This tour is chartered especially for CAEOP, but you can check out their website to see the landmarks that you'll visit:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.trolleytours.com/san-diego/">http://www.trolleytours.com/san-diego/</a><br /><br />The cost is only $25.00 and space is limited, so get those registrations in early.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;">Affiliate's Night</span><br />Wendy Rochester, CAEOP President, and Linda Tribble, NAEOP President, both invite you to a night of fun and surprises. One year, I learned some line dance moves at Affiliate's Night. Don't worry, you won't be expected to dance this year.Janice Airplanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04966242023604189223noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1266241868172199440.post-91392916233416652282009-01-10T09:29:00.000-08:002009-01-10T11:02:25.695-08:00Registration & Hotel<span style="font-family:verdana;">The <span style="font-size:100%;">conference registration information package arrived in the mail today, and I am so excited about everything that is planned.<br /><br />If you haven't gotten one by Friday, January 16th, please email nancy.donahue@lmsvsd.k12.ca.us and one will be sent to you immediately - OR - you can look at it right now by downloading the pdf to your own computer.<br /><br /></span></span><a href="file:///Users/Janice/Desktop/Electronic_2009_Conference_Registration_Form.pdf">file:///Users/Janice/Desktop/Electronic_2009_Conference_Registration_Form.pdf</a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">I noticed that I can type right into the form and print it out, but when I saved it to my computer everything I had typed was gone. So - make sure you print a couple of copies so you have one to send in and one for your records.<br /><br />Also, the deadline for the group rate at the Doubletree Club Hotel is quickly approaching - <span style="font-weight: bold;">February 1, 2009</span>.
