Team Alpha today announced the launch of its new website … www.TheAlphaTeam.ca Dean and I had a chance to meet with Team Alpha last night and they had this to say…
“For all of those people who have said that driving six hours to Prince George to do a landscaping job was a waste of time and not a good business idea – think again! We put some dollars in the bank that we needed in order to start implementing our longer term strategies AND even more importantly we created a great opportunity for us to spend many hours together over the weekend to work on our plans moving forward. We got a LOT MORE than just blisters in Prince George! We got some important strategy time in! We’ll be making announcements on www.TheAlphaTeam.ca very soon.”
September 6, 2010 – Team Alpha has leaped into the lead this weekend with its first revenue generating idea. Over Friday evening and early Saturday morning the team members assembled in Prince George to complete a sizable landscaping job as a short term money-making strategy. The job was offered to Team Alpha from Chris who is a friend of Andrew Challenger and Matt Oginski, two Team Alpha members. Chris’ backyard was overgrown with weeds, needed a chain-link fence at the front and a wooden fence at the back and the land needed to be leveled. The job was completed by Sunday afternoon and a deposit was made to Alpha’s bank account in the amount of $1000 (including taxes and expenses). The breakdown for the leader board is as follows:
We caught up with four of the teams over the weekend to find out what they are up to. Hear about Team TRU’s new starategy of starting a Marketing Company and how much they’ve made. Team Matrix went to the Flea Market over the weekend to sell some wares. Team Genie is offering computer repair while Team Alpha is getting ready to do some hard labour.
