It's sad that the Coastal forum is turning out be a place where everyone is waiting for an opportunity to flex their muscles to prove who is best; than a friendly place to gather and share knowledge. Yes, I thank you all immensely for contributing and making this forum a success but this is not how I want my forum to be. Please don't take my leniency for granted.
Lately, many people have complained to me about how sour Coastal forum has become. People who come here for information can easily make out the tone and attitude of the people here. By continuing this attitude you are slowly killing the Goose with golden eggs.
Please stop slandering each other. Live and let live!

HI Vishal,
I agree, It is sad. While I'm not a moderator here, I believe we all have something to share. I have my opinions and others have theirs. In my opion, this forum had become more about spam and self promotion than about helping eachother.
There are some very good hearted people here who have gone way beyond the call of duty to help and others who are simply here for self promotion reasons.
My objective is to share the core information about Coastal Vacations IE: Official Coastal Vacations Information and to share how I've become a six figure income earner. I know there are other methods, but in the thick of things....here's what generally happens. Those who take responsability for their results - Get Results, those who don't generally quit the business. It's sad, but true.
We take responsability for our results when we ask questions and when we apply what we have learned, no matter the group or marketing methods.
Much success to all
Jay NaPier
Platinum Director
Coastal Vacations

Hi Vishal,
I love this forum (even when it does become heated) but much prefer it when it is a place for support and encouragement and sharing ideas. Thank you so much for providing it. Perhaps if you find people acting "weird" in their comments you can private message them so they will get the picture and we don't all have to read about it.
We definitely need more laws of attraction here folks -let's get back to making connections, dreams come true and information we can all use.
Have a great weekend.
Judy

All MLMS end up in a war for grabbing their buy-in price. In this case it's $1,000.00. No, make that $2,000.00. Finally, your upline is paid off for YOUR hard work. No, if you want a profit, it's "2 up" so it's a fight for the $3,000.00 mark. Then you get your money back and a profit!
But, it's "not MLM!!!". Oh, no. "2-up" isn't a pyramid scheme at all!
If we see it for what it is - a pyramid scheme - these poor suckers won't break even or make any money. So, don't call it that, shhhhhh!!!!!
Plus, all of the hotels are five star and on the best beaches ocean-side every time. No 2-star hotels in the bay, heck no! Each accomodation is in the best hotel, in the best neighboorhood, and on the best beach. Hey, our products are the best, that's another reason why it isn't a pyramid scheme!
We are totally legit [for now] in the government's eyes!
We'll scream at you if you call us a pyramid scheme or an MLM!!!
An MLM absolutely HAS to perfectly resemble a Ponzie Scheme in every sense of the term! If it doesn't, it isn't supposed to be called a pyramid or an MLM 
We are Coastal. We are your answer to a five star vacation "package". We don't reward you for your first two sales, but we do reward you AFTER THAT!!!
This is business. It's business. It's how many people do it, therefore, it's aye-okay!

To the entire Forum,
I know that I have been right in the middle of some of the "Heated" discussions and I regret that they have become that way. This forum has been a HUGE source of support, information, and sales for me and I thank Vishal for providing this place for us.
I must say this, there have been and are people on this forum that always want to discredit our Coastal team or others Coastal teams because we don't use the OFFICIAL COA SYSTEM as our main recrutiing site or because we have a different recruiting system that they don't like for whatever reason. All of the teams represented here on this site and forum are legitimate teams and deserve to be recognized as such. Prospects do not need to be told that these teams are not legitimate just because someone doesn't agree with their marketing methods. The only reason I could see for doing this is if a team or person is offering a constant discounted price which hurts us all. All teams are different. That's why people choose different teams. Different options fit different people and their personalities.
Jay,
I respect your achievments in Coastal and I think we can all learn a lot about marketing from you. I'm glad that you have chosen to use the COA as your system and I'm glad it is successful for you. I ask you, in front of the entire forum, as a fellow Coastal director, to show the same respect to the WCYS team as we show your team and system. I personally make it a point to NEVER speak negatively about another team on this forum. We are a family and should treat eachother with respect. I feel that the majority of the members of this forum and Vishal know this is how I am. Some of your remarks were very negative about our team and I felt that I HAD to respond in defense of our team. This forum gets a lot of traffic from search engines and that means thousands of people see your remarks which lead them to believe that our team is not legitimate. That is the ONLY reason that I respond if the fashion that I did. I HAVE to defend miss-statements about our team because it can affect our livelyhood.
I make a commitment to the forum to try to deal with problems behind the scenes if possible for the benefit of all of us and the prospects coming here to get information. I hope that Jay will make the same commitment to not say negative things about other teams represented here on this forum. If I have given any people who are researching Coastal a negative impression of our business then I apologize. We are a great company and opportunity that offer regular people a way to make money from home. Please continue to do your research and hopfully Coastal Vacations will be a perfect fit for you and your family.
