Leaders or TEAM players.

 

We have all heard the inaccurate say that there is no I in TEAM. I say it's inaccurate because TEAM always starts with an I.

 

Ways that I effects a TEAM

• Do I join a Team or go it alone? Effects the decision to get started.
• What can I do for the TEAM? Effects the production and co-operation.
• What can I get out of the team? Often this thinking begins it's fall.
• What can I do without the Team? Folks this almost always kills it.

 

In our newest project I was guilty of brainstorming our new direction and as CEO I jumped into production before the other partners were all 100% on board with the move and knew their roles and what would be expected. As CEO my job is to lead our direction and the plan is solid but I rushed into production and started going it alone without advising key people of where they stood in the mission.

 

Needles to say half my 4^th of July was spent correcting my foolish moves.

 

Change can be tough, especially when all members are expected to be able to convey a unified message and don't know what that message is. Development is slowed if the people who work on scrips and design don't have a clear path, set of directives and a time line. It further complicates when you have a trainee caught in the middle of a Mad Man at the helm moving full speed and mad partners not knowing when the mad man is headed or why, how it works, or more then what the final product is.

 

That's been a huge learning curve for me.

 

I built a very successful online business teaching teamwork but like most of our Guru's forgot the team at home. I was injured and had nobody who could step in and be me and in the course of 2 months of physical therapy and my business collapsed and my reputation for communication, trust, and support almost ruined.

 

Since that day I have come together with a great team. I started out as a humble worker, became a partner, and worked hard. When Dave decided he needed to take time off and come back in a reduced role I was asked to step up and lead our company as it's second ever CEO. Dave came back to a totally different business, I move fast and take no prisoners but the time zones played a toll.

 

See Dave coming back has often been left out of the loop until changes have already begun, because one partner lives in the same house and shares the same office space, another vital team member is on our time zone in Canada. Poor Dave in Australia comes online around 5PM-6PM my time, after a day of moving and shaking is done and is sometimes the least in the know despite being one of the most vital parts of the team.

 

Yesterday I wrote up a full battle plan complete with assignments and a rough timeline and even a plan for initial marketing. I will now make it a daily practice to take notes and communicate because the other I in TEAM is. How can I fail the TEAM.

Traffic Firestorm to become Income Builder on steroids.

We have informed all members from day one that TFS and Velocity Marketer were destined for great things. That moment is just around the corner! Changes will be taking place over the next few days that will throw your TFS world for a loop and bring it down in money heaven!

No longer will Traffic Firestorm be focused as a traffic exchange system.

The Traffic Exchange feature will remain as a benefit to our members but will not be the main focus of Traffic Firestorm. TFS will instead be transformed into a massive team builder with not less then 6 streams of income and 20 streams of traffic generating power.

All of this will be revolving around Kooiii Social Media Search, K.A.R.T. Advertising and the Kooiii Store. This is a combined system more then 3 years in the making with the potential to tap into more then 1 billion in annual revenues by simply capturing 1% of Google.

Many of you have never been a part of a team build, but you will find yourselves, (should you stay), no longer working alone towards anything. We are not asking any members to give up on their current program(s). However, you will quickly see that TFS will have two great ways to participate.

We said two ways to participate and this is how your Traffic Firestorm is built.

Free member: As a free member you will get total use of facilities to build the multiple income streams and also promote your primary business. You will see a few features lost and a lot more gained, and you will earn 15% commissions on all of the upgraded memberships that you sell.

Upgraded member – $29.95 a month: Upgraded members will take part in all free member tools and have the added benefits of greater earnings on upgrades, additional advertising for their primary business as a bonus each month, as well as random referrals from our advertising Co-Op.

The Co-Op is where things get really exciting!

We now have a growing social network and two world class search engines and we control 100% of the advertising on each one. In addition, our publisher network is growing daily and will continue to grow even more with each new TFS member and K.A.R.T. Publisher which will put TFS Team ads on thousands of websites around the world. All of which will feed an advertisement for the TFS front page or one of our Team Splash Pages and will put recruits in under a random paid member.

This is all very important because of those Income Streams.

The first 3 streams all come from K.A.R.T. Advertising.

Stream one is naturally earned by displaying our ads to your website and blog visitors. It pays per click earnings.

Stream two is from bringing in new advertisers and will earn you residual income each time the advertiser adds more money to their account.

Stream 3 is from bringing in more K.A.R.T. Publishers. (All TFS members will have to become a Publisher.) You will earn a residual commission each time a K.A.R.T. Publisher you brought in earns a paycheck as well.

Stream 4 is too obvious with the upgrades at Traffic Firestorm.

Stream 5 comes as a Kooiii Store Affiliate which allows you to offer products, services, and a discount club membership for sale as well. Affiliates will earn commissions from each sale or residual income from each membership.

Streams 6 and above all come from unique opportunities we are going to put in the Firehouse Builder that will give you even more great income driving power at TFS.

To top it off, we will still be sitting on a massive traffic builder that will further push more team members into Traffic Firestorm daily.

Please folks, try to understand that the changes will be fast and will be noticeable as items like the banner and text rotators are replaced by K.A.R.T. Ads, the text on pages change, and some features and options vanish or are replaced with great new additions.

Team Traffic Firestorm is on a path to make millionaires. Make it your mission to be a part of it all.

Andy, Dave, and Dale.
