I don't know much about the success team, but I can tell you about something more important...Productivity.
You don't get paid for mindset workshops, you are paid for selling Coastal Memberships.
It's fun to get together and have social hours, but I've got to tell you I know ALOT of Coastal Directors who are HIGH on group activities and low on income.
Here's a tip...at the end of a training call, if there's a pitch - it was all about selling someone something, and the people who put together the call generally are getting a piece of the action.

Hi Jay!
I can clarify a bit.. as I am a member of the Success Team!
First of all, the MMI series was open to the public. In other words, anyone interested in working on their mindset. It is considered extra-curricular personal development. As we all know, your business will only grow as much as YOU do. So, it helps to hear from people who have acheived millionaire status directly, and learn what their mindset, thoughts and personal habits are.
Second, to be a member of the success team and attend the regular closed meetings one must make a commitment to contribute, participate, help support and MOST importantly TAKE ACTION to become a leader in this business. People must show a commitment to become 6 figure earners in 6-12 months. To apply, you must be referred by an existing success team member.
The closed meetings are great! We brainstorm, learn new techniques etc etc. We, as members submit topic ideas, contribute and most importantly, PARTICIPATE. Active learning, and we take whatever ideas or knowledge we gain and put in into practice to produce those 6 figure RESULTS!!
As for having "pitches" at the end of a presentation.. seems to me that is what marketing is all about. Common format for the CSG special presentations as well. I personally have no problem with presenters and organizers being paid for their valuable time, PROVIDED that they over deliver in both their presentation and the product they are marketing. The good ones DO- and if the presentation has resonated with me and provided me with value- then I have no problem with the idea of investing in myself to further my skills, abilities and knowledge.
Quoting: cashwealth I think several Dir just want to 'look' important for they own purpuse or weakness. Most of us don't need to much training. The easiest business you can make money with + get some cheap travel.
Personally, I can't thank Annette for going above and beyond. She is one of the most hard working, genuine, ethical, giving and talented directors I know. I have learned and grown so much, thanks to her doing what she does! I know that the creation of the success team was a major leap for her, and I am very proud to bear witness to what she has accomplished and given back to so many others in this business. Heck, there was even WCYS members listening to those trainings, I think that says something!
Yes, this is an easy business and anyone regardless of background and experience can do it easily and well and have 6 figure or better success. But to say that most of us dont need much training is to cut people short. Personally, I believe that no matter how good you are, you can learn, grow and improve upon your skills. If your site is now PR3, I know that is not an easy accomplishment. Somewhere you have actually LEARNED seo and marketing skills. Where your focus goes, energy flows and results show! No?
Just thought I would try to clear that up~!
