Since you’ve been inviting us into your home for the last few months we thought we’d invite you into one of ours. Join us at Peter’s home, decorated for the holidays, as we talk review what has happened with the teams so far in the Race To A Million.
It’s been quite an adventure so far in the race and since we are switching the calendar over to 2011 we thought we’d share some of our candid thoughts on some of the strategies employed by the teams so far and what we think, straight shooting from the hip.
Where did the idea of the Race to a Million come from? Who is watching? Where are the teams at? What are they doing? Do they have a chance of getting there?
The Deals Von Mastermind website from Team Nexus… Team TRU offers several products at the Home Show and online including local artwork and Heat Smart heaters… Team Alpha develops a special mosaic picture program and launches the effort in conjunction with Wolf Pack Hockey… Team Alpha and Team TRU come together with a common cause and partner on a project.
We got out on the streets of Kamloops in this video segment of “Feet in the Street” and asked some fans in Kamloops a few questions. Is it possible to turn $500 into $1 Million? How would you do it? Is being a nice person good for business? What’s your big idea?
Well here you have it folks… I had said that I would eat my hat if they got the online store for Deals Von Mastermind up in time … and it appears at some point in the near future I’m going to have to do just that! Team Nexus has launched their online store and the deals look absolutely amazing! Check it out yourself at www.dealsvm.com
Time for a Race Update from The Race To A Million teams. Team Nexus is down a little (again) after purchasing software for their online store… Pete says “I’ll eat my hat if the site is up in time”. Team Matrix hasn’t yet moved from their $755 mark. They’ve lost a couple of members but they’re in the process of adding replacements. Matrix assures us, however, that they are getting ready to move forward with their strategies. Third place has Team Genie who also has lost a member but they are very excited about their upcoming product launch. In second place is team Alpha who has added their first sponsor, Brian from Home Pro Inspections Service and they’re dropping the cost of the car they have for sale. In first place is Team TRU still meeting weekly… still innovating… the business community seems to really buying in to this team while they leverage all of their ideas.
Here’s an EXTENDED team updates video from October 25, 2010 with members of each Race To A Million Team checking in via video to tell us what’s happening in the race.
Regan Hayes from Team Genie talks about their upcoming plans to launch something VERY BIG and include their charity in an equally BIG way.
Gregg Murray from Team Matrix speaks to some of the challenges their team has faced but believes the members of the team are still “game” for the game.
Lisa Ottenbreit from Team TRU feels confident that their team is increasing their social media following and is embracing the lead that her team has over the others cautiously but also with optimism. They are enjoying the opportunities to try different business ideas and they are excited about what’s to come. Lisa tells us a little more about their TRUly Fresh Personnel strategy and their partnership deal with Kamloops Night Out. They are also looking for more partnership opportunities with other businesses in town.
Team Nexus tells us to remember, remember, the 5th of November… DealsVonMastermind.com is launching on that day! A one stop shopping portal for electronics, vacations and lots of great deals on many other items. These guys are hilarious and entertaining!
And don’t forget Team Alpha who speaks to us about their ups and downs and the way they are turning things around… The Car, Star Wars collectibles, Mosaic picture software and a contest that has something to do with counting noodles.
Join us behind the scenes in the audio and video editing bay at the Race To A Million where we update you on the latest happenings from the teams.

Peter: In second place after the first investment cycle is Team Alpha……Team Alpha put their back’s into it with some good old manual labor in Prince George last weekend. After the job and after deducting their expenses, Team Alpha sits at $1187.98.
Alpha is looking to add to their total by a couple of grand this week by brokering a deal to sell a car on line. The car is a 1996 Mazda Millenia S. It’s supercharged with a 2.3 liter engine, full leather interior in great shape, sunroof, air conditioning and everything that you’d expect in a $45 000 MSRP luxury sport sedan. It’s also been cleaned by our crack team of car cleaning RTAM racers and looks like a million bucks.
Buyers can drive it as is, or put a few bucks into it to fix some of the expected quirks a car of this age acquires. The price of the car is $2000 The car can be viewed at www.thealphateam.ca
Dean: Alpha team member Mike Harrison from Royal LePage real estate is lending some of his expertise to the cause as well.
