+ Should I still attend my weekly webinar if I did not prepare for it?

Some weeks run more smoothly than others, so be sure to attend your weekly group webinar because you will receive the encouragement and support that you might need and you can be counted upon to be there for your other team / group members.
+ If I didn’t achieve my points for the week should I still attend the weekly webinar and participate in the group?
Activity Tracker Groups will help you to create the habit of tracking activity, regardless of your weekly accumulation of points.
If you have a slower week for any reason, then it is important to attend the weekly webinar for the support and encouragement you will receive and to reset your points goals for the following week.
You also have an Action Partner/Mentor, so it is important to keep your commitment with them by attending your weekly Activity Tracker Group webinar.
+ What happens after the 12-week Activity Tracker Group course finishes?
It is recommended that you form your own Activity Tracker Group as a Group Leader after your 12-week commitment has ended so you can help your team to get started on (or complete) their Launch or Re-launch Plan in the pursuit of their ASEA goals and dreams.
