Welcome back to The V! This is the reason we started 11 years ago. Our intention was not to create a company, but a way of life. Look at us..we have a virtual United Nations here. We are colourless. Classless. Creedless.

There are more things bringing us together, than dividing us. From so many nations scattered all across this planet, ultimately we are one.

The things that bring us together remain the same. Our hopes, our aspirations, our desires, our determination, our love. What brings us together ultimately, is that despite all of these things that separate us, we are, underneath all of this, one race...the human race. That’s what we celebrate here.I know that we are going to be talking about the fact that we can achieve financial freedom, that we are going to be talking about achieving the business wherever we go, but the business is ultimately and at best, just a vehicle. If there’s one thing The V should teach you, the one message that you take back today, it is CHANGE.

When we come together, we are one wherever we are. When we see each other in different parts of the planet, when we greet each other, we recognise this strength that brings us together over and over again – the fact that we are one.

Why do we do what we do? What is the purpose of V-Con? Why do we come together like this every year? From the very inception, when the concept of RYTHM was put together, this was our goal. This is what that energises us, this is what that renews our faith in each other, and in HIM.

This whole coming together gives us purpose, and for us, who never dreamt that this would be possible one day, for us, every time you come back together, you remind us of why we started this, of why we continue to do this, and where we are going together.
