Live Like No One Else




This is the entry for Tuesday........I fell asleep before I finished posting it......

Today was a very packed day as we were "in session" from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. We started out with retirement discussion in the morning. Then after lunch we went to Finacial Peace Plaza and saw Dave doing the radio show. He does it live from the first floor where vistiors can sit and watch him on the air. It's like he is in a corner fish bowl. Two sides of the room that he is in is glass and the "lobby" is full of couches that people can sit and watch him from. On the bottom corner of the glass is a small little box that says "Do not feed the Monkey".

Across from the recording studio is the bookstore and "Martha's Kitchen"--which is a coffee bar that serves homemade desserts--everything from lemon bars, cupcakes cookies, chocolate dipped strawberries, brownies, lemonade, expresso, and coffee all complimentary to vistitors that come in.

What a fun place to work! Most employees LOVE their job and can tell you where in the Dave Ramsey story they were hired on. "I'm employee number 100" "I am employee number 47". The average age of employee at Lampo is 29 and There is currently around 250 employees.

Lampo Group (parent company of Dave Ramsey) ranked1 the #1 place to work in TN the last five years. Everyone looks like they work hard but love every minute of it!!!

Ended the day doing a role play with a case study. Played a counselor for 20 minutes and a couple that needed help for 40 minutes. I was really nervous about this but it went fairly fast. Much easier to be the ones in need of help than the one giving it!!!

Walked two blocks over and got a Baskin Robin's Mocah Almond Fudge Ice Cream Cone. Yum! Now off to bed!
When I came into my room tonight...This was sitting on my desk! What Fun!
