Awake and Thinking about my week

What a week ahead? I have high anticipation for what's to come. It's 12:54 am and I can't seem to sleep so I decided to get up and come into my home office and write this blog post maybe I can get somethings off of my mind. I am planning for this week to be a great week. Not really for anyone particular reason, it has more to do with it being the beginning of the week. I usually like to look at the beginning of the week as a fresh start looking to do better than I did the week before. However, my enthusiasm maybe increased because I have so many things running through my head. For one thing we have some updates that are coming down the pike for our websites. I'm expecting these websites to be even more effective than our current websites. We are looking for our websites to bring more credibility to our company as they look more professional. At the same time we are looking for them to be very clear as they explain our business model; this is increasingly important as our company continues to grow and we are looking to attract more quality people to our distribution channels.

I am also anticipating the end of the year. This is always such a great time for the business development side of my business. For this year this is especially true, I know we are going to be launching some brand new programs going into 2010 which will continue to boost our efforts to grow our distributor base. I am preparing to have a team of new distributors (actually we call them Directors in Coastal Travel) going into 2010. I want to go into the new year with full momentum versus waiting for the new year to start building momentum. When these new programs come out I want our team to hit the ground running. This is also the time of the year when I start formulating my goals and making plans for the next year. This will be a big year for me. I am 30 years old now that is a milestone in and of itself, also we are planning to move to the great state of Georgia, so it's a reason to start fresh and even better than ever. The move doesn't really have a physical effect on my Coastal Travel business since most all of my business is done online, it's more of a psychological effect. Thanks for reading I have been able to get out some of my anticipation and put it in print.

All the best,

Results from First Steps To Success

As you know from my last post, I was at First Steps to Success this weekend in Orlando. I am now listening into a conference call from some of the individuals that were there this weekend. I'll recap it here for you.


Rob Larson from Ottowa, CA
His wife attended First Steps to Success to get training in her home business. After he saw the results she was getting he decided he needed to get there. At the time he was working for $10/hour at a burger joint. He had been to jail and was not suppose to cross the Canadian Border due to some issues he had with the Border Security. However, he took the risk because he had seen what happened with his wife. After attending FSTS he decided to step out on faith and started a landscaping business. He had experience in landscaping but had NEVER planned or thought he would start a business. By specifically using the training that he learned he generated $90,000 his first six months in business. Rob said, "Because of the success we are having, we have finanlly been able to pay off our wedding debt!"

Denise Richards from Tampa, FL
Denise and her husband are accountants, 4 years ago they paid $20,000 to attend a conference designed to teach accountants how to close business and get more clients. From that seminar she become one of the top students with a 33% closing ratio. Not to long ago she went to her first FSTS seminar. Using the scripts straight from Dani's Scriptbook she increased her closing ratio to 80% from 33%, got 15 new clients the past 3 months and increased her billing by $35,000. Denise said,"And to think First Steps to Success was far more effective at teaching me to close and I only paid $297 not $20,000. That seminar company, I trained with before called and asked if I would like to take more classes with them and I said NO WAY"

Susan (Sorry didn't catch her last name or location)
Heard about Dani Johnson two years ago when starting a homebusiness. Said she went to the website but never went to FSTS because she couldn't afford it. Two years later she had failed and quit that home business. Moved to a new state and got a job. When she started that job they asked her if she had ever heard of Dani Johnson. She was blown away and told them yes. She decided to get registered for the next First Steps to Success,but failed at her job and quit before that training event. After coming out of First Steps she decided to go back to that job. Her first 3 days back she had a 100 precent closing ratio (she had not closed anyone before that). She quadrupled her income, and now has started another home business. She said, "It blows my mind to think the only reason I didn't succeed with my last home business was because I thought I couldn't afford the training".

Nike Roach from Winston Salem, NC
Nike and his wife owned a traditional massage therapy business but also started a home business (with Coastal Travel). Nike said, "I was very skeptical at first but after attending the website and seeing all the testimonials I knew all those people just couldn't be lying". With the skills Nike, learned at First Steps to Success he grew both of his businesses. Prior to his First Steps training he had already been asked to join the Chamber of Commerce and to be an Ambassador, where his role was to help new business owners and support them as they got started in business. Nike said, "After First Steps by sharing some of the simple strategies with these business owners and recommending they attend First Steps to Success on their own, I was invited to join the Board of Directors of our Chamber of Commerce". Since then they have written articles in the newspaper about Nike. Now when people start a business he is often seen as someone they should contact for the expertise that he has gained. Obviously because of the training he has received at First Steps to Success, Nike's influence in his community has really grown.

Demaisy (I may have misspelled her name) Vasquez (I did not get her location)
She also heard about First Steps to Success when she started her home business. She had no results and was unable to enroll any customers or clients. After attending FSTS. In 9 weeks she enrolled 164 personal clients which has duplicated to a total of 1054 clients. She has paid off $40,000 in debt. She said, "I'm totally blown away, I feel this is a dream and I should wake up". I think she really summed it up well when she shared something Dani Johnson said this weekend:

"There is a price to pay for success, and there is a price to pay for failure. Which one do you want to pay?"

I want to thank everyone who volunteered their time to share on this conference call this evening. I want to thank Mr. Hans Johnson, for hosting the call.

At First Steps To Success

Currently sitting in the Hyatt Hotel in Orlando. I have an appt to call a client back at 2 pm EST. So I figured I would write a quick blog post. After this appt. I'm going to grab a quick nap. I want to make sure that I am well rested before this event gets started. First Steps To Success, is a training event that I would say is the corner stone of our success as a company. Not that it is necessarily required but the individuals that have went have really excelled. People like Tara Hayes from MI, a young women putting herself through college actually attended First StepsTo Success just before she started working with the company and generated $15,000 in herfirst 3 months just working part time around her school schedule.

So I am excited to be here this weekend. Looking forward to what I can learn and apply to my personal business as well as meeting the brand new people that have started working with us. I was going to write some more but I got a phone call from a team member and now I have my appointment coming up with my client. So I need to go take care fo that. Thanks for reading and I will post some more when I get home.

All the best,

"You can either make excuses or you can make money but no one can't make both." -- Author Unknown

The Power of Choice

Originally written by Jackie O'Quinn in 2004

“We are, what we have chosen to be” –Author Unknown


In a Democratic nation we have many choices. The sum of our choices will determine the level of success we will reach. You will hear people say, “One day I am going to have a bigger home” or “I will make more money” or “I will drive a better car.” The question you have to ask yourself if you have said these things is, “Do I really mean it?” If you do, do you have a plan? Will your current plan get you the things that you have said you wanted? If you answered no, to one of the last three questions, then you are only dreaming. You are wishing with no real desire and will likely have no more than you currently have in life. You see we have to make a conscious decision to succeed in life or to just have something more. If you are unhappy with your life then look in the mirror because in all likelihood you have no one else to blame but yourself. Sure, there are circumstances OUT of our control; but how we deal with and overcome those circumstances IS within our control!

We can choose what to wear. We can choose the hairstyle or haircut we want. We choose who our friends are. We choose what jobs to apply for. We decide whether or not to show up at work on time. Does it not stand to reason, that if we have so many choices in life? We can make choices that will allow us to be successful? If you wanted to start a business and didn’t have the money, you can choose to save, beg, borrow, and scrap the money until you have enough to get started. The great thing about Coastal as we know is it didn’t take that much to get started. Let’s face it; if one’s life depended on it 90% of the people in a Democratic nation could come up with at least $5000 within 72 hours. So the real question is how bad do you want it? If you choose to just work your nine to five J.O.B. (Just Over Broke) and choose not to get anymore out of life. Please do me this one favor, don’t be envious or hateful as I become more and more successful just because you have chosen not to.

It amazes me at the number of people who are unhappy in life and are quick to ridicule those that seem to have more; but yet they refuse to make choices that would allow them to get more out of life. If you have chosen to join this amazing business of ours, then congratulations! You are making a choice to get more out of life and to succeed in some way. However, if you are in Coastal and you are making $50,000 to $60,000 a year but continue to say you want to make $100,000. Ask yourself, “Am I making the choice to do that or am I just wishing it?” It is ok to wish and to fantasize about things just make sure that you are honest with yourself and you recognize the difference between wishing and choosing.

If you are just starting with Coastal make a CHOICE right away to be successful. If your business is not doing as well as you would like, that’s great! You can choose to change that! Make a CHOICE to grow your business to where you want it. If you want to make $50,000 in this business then CHOOSE that. If you want to make $100,000 then CHOOSE that. If you want to make $1,000,000 then CHOOSE that. Just remember success is a choice!
