Treating your business like a business...cont

Treating your business as a business means learning to adapt. New technology is always coming out and we must be able to embrace it. Look at traditional businesses like fast food. With the big push on health many restaurants now have meals that are much better for our bodies. They have adapted. Do you do the same? Email marketing is forever changing. Phone calling is changing. B2B presentations are different than when I got in sales. You must learn to adapt.This is the hardest part of any business. To learn how to embrace change and implement it without slowing down production can be hard to juggle. Take Contact Talk. I dont have the program but have been talking to many that have it. The going thing is that it takes some time to learn it. Many are faster learners than others so the slower learners will be taking time away from other business activities to get the jist of the program. That time can result in slower production. So you have to learn to weigh implementing new technology. My usual method is to have new technology overlap with my older technoogy. By this I mean test out new stuff before you do away with the old way.As you will continue to see I will always give examples of traditional business. It seems to me with all the downsizing and outsourcing of jobs that some day home based business will be traditional business. The good thing is the same principles always work. Give people good service for a fair price. Buy merchandise at wholesale and sell retail. Give customers what they want. I know that as you change your mindset about business you will see incredible result. In fact I feel sorry for many business owners I meet. There is a meat market in my town that my wife and I frequent. As we go there often we have gotten friendly with the owner and the fact we are business owners as well has come up. As we talked about us being in travel his eyes lit up. We asked where he would like to go and when and his response was ill be going on vacation in about 2 years from now. I asked why so long and he explained that he has no one he can trust to run the business in his absence. Thats is painful. Here is someone living the so called american dream that cant even enjoy the fruits of is labor.I am so happy we are in the industry we are in. I get up when I want, go to bed when I want and live the lifestyle I want. What better life could I ask for. I get to interact with so many incredible people and learn as I go. If you want the best life you can have then get in a home based business like Coastal and treat it like a business and get ready for amazing rewards and blessings.

Where is the A-Team?

The A-Team which is comprised of Adam and April Frederick jumped on the scene in the home based business arena with a bang. They joined the Coastal Synergy Group in May 2005 and made over 10k in their first 7 weeks of business. Now for you all that don’t know the Coastal Synergy Group (CSG) is a group within Coastal Vacations. Coastal Vacations is an association that markets an amazing travel package worth well over $15000 even at the lowest level and where distributors make $1000 - $9705 on each and every sale. It has been around for over 14 years now and is strategically placed in the ever growing travel industry.

The A-Team showed their star quality right from the beginning. At the first CSG Training Event in Sept 2005 they were awarded Rookie of the Year and in November 2005 were asked to serve on the prestigious CSG Leadership Board. They grew in popularity and business stature and became some of the most sought after members in the CSG. Their trainings for the CSG became legendary esp. when they trained on testimonials and live events. This amazing growth allowed them to be featured in the HBC Magazine in May 2006. Take a look at the article @ http://hbc.idigitaledition.com/issue.php?issue=5 page 26 + 27. This magazine is one of the best in the home based business arena and is sent out to 100’s of thousands of readers.

After almost 18 months of service to the CSG the A-Team decided to step down from the CSG Leadership. They looked at their tenure as a great experience as they positively affected the lives of so many and grew as leaders. This is by far one of the best times we have had in our lives. We met so many incredible people and got to rub shoulders and learn from so many amazing leaders. We wouldn’t trade that time for anything in the world. The growth we had in our business and more importantly personally cannot be described in words. It is an education we could not have paid enough money to receive. To be on the cutting edge of one of the hottest growing groups in Coastal Vacations is not anything to be taken lightly. Many of our ideas are being used in the policies of the CSG today and we feel proud to say that.

Well after stepping down and taking some much needed rest from the day to day grind of being on a leadership board we have been able to refocus our energy. When we started in Coastal our passion was to create systems for the common guy to do well in any home based business. Being on the leadership sidetracked a lot of those dreams and moving away has given us the time to put our efforts back where our passion is.

With much pleasure we are pleased to announce the start of our own marketing venture. The internet has opened a wide avenue for many to amass a fortune using the tools that are now available to everyone. We have begun to specialize in lead capture, website development, internet marketing, business coaching as well as creating products to help people grow their business. We have begun a venture called the ACA Marketing Group. You can take a look at our website @ http://www.acamarketinggroup.com .

Each and every week we get a phone call or an email asking where the A-Team is and if we are still in Coastal Vacations. The answer is a resounding yes. We have switched to a different system than the CSG and went back to basics by joining Coastal Vacations official sites and marketing system. The choice for us was simple. We wanted to make a clean break and go back to where Coastal began. What better place to be than with the Official System. This is not by any means to say the other groups in Coastal aren’t good just they aren’t the choice for us. Going back to the basic has allowed us to focus on continuing to build our own team and given us the time to create more and more systems that help everyone succeed in Coastal.

We look forward to creating products, conducting seminars and meeting all the great people that are in the home based business arena. Be on the lookout for our new free teleseminars on internet marketing coming before the end of the year as well as a whole entire line of affordable products on how to succeed in business. The A-Team has always been about sharing with everyone and that is what we plan on doing.

So when you get the question of where is the A-Team now you have your answer. Be sure to visit us on the web on our new marketing venture @ http://www.acamarketinggroup.com Go and give us some feedback or just stop in to say hi.
