Larteshia
We are in the home stretch for 2006
But... It isn't over! Stay Focused and On Target!

I tell my team time and time again -  "Stay Focused!, Stay Focused!"  It is tough sometimes, as most of what we do
as small business owners is repetitive and can become routine.  I find myself needing a "gut check" to stay on track
as well from time to time.  After all, we are all human.

However, one of the best ways to stay on target is to have "concrete" goals and track your results.  There is an old
truism in business:  "If you don't track it, you can't manage it."  These goals need to be written down and visible for
all to see.  Simply "working harder" at accomplishing undefined goals is not a good long term strategy.  

What are your business goals for 2006?  For 2007?  How about for the next 5 years?   Do you know?  Does your team
know?  Are they written down? If the answer is anything other than yes, the ship is being sailed without a compass
and where you end up is anyone's guess.  

If this is the case, the good news is that the  solution is easy.  Take 30 minutes and go over your last 12- 24 months
results. Then look to the future and give yourself aggressive but achievable milestones to shoot for.  Put tracking
devices in place to ensure accuracy and have monthly or quarterly team meetings to make sure you are on track.

Lastly, hitting goals is a big deal.  Make sure you have a reward system in place for your team and YOURSELF!   Be
good to Larteshia!  You deserve it!




Congratulations Jackie!

Fun in the sun!


GMS Member Cartridge Renewal Systems, owned by Craig & Jackie  Berman won last year's GMS G.R.O.A contest
and chose a round-trip vacation to a resort called "Dreams" in Tulum, Mexico.  This is a resort about 1 1/2 hours south of
Cancun.  Jackie and Craig accumulated 6,800 GROA points and we were delighted to reward them. This vacation
package was arranged by GMS member, Jan  Mauer, owner of Travel, Ports, & Voyages  and transportation services
were provided by Al Peterman, owner of AE & L Limousine.  Many thanks to them for outstanding service and excellent
rates that made the vacation possible.  GMS simply has the best members!

Every year we will have a new contest with new prizes.  This year - Cold CASH will be sent back to the network!  Get
involved, grow (GROA) your business, and get rewarded! 

This years winners will be handed checks at our catered Holiday Business Card Exchange in Late November/Early
December.  Stay tuned for details.   Date will most likely be December 5th at 5:30 - 7:30PM at the Spring Lake Manor.



#812 applying the power in Delaware! 
2nd out of 14 riders on the YZ450F! 

OUR KTM MOTOR BLEW UP! So.. WE GOT A NEW BIKE!

That's right!  Actually, Brian blew 2 motors in September!  So, rather than call
it a season, we made the decision to switch bikes.  Hello Yamaha!  In early
October we purchased a 2006 YZ 450F.  

Holy Carburetors Batman!  This bike is fast!  First race on the new horse was
October 15th in Delaware at Blue Diamond Motocross Park.  Results?
Brian raced 3 classes and came in 2nd overall in 2 of them and 4th in the other.
Very good for the first time out.   

Little Marv took 3rd overall and if he ever stops crashing, he may actually get a
win. Marvin crashed twice in his last moto and charged back from 7th to 3rd
and was within one turn of  2nd place when the checkered flag was crossed.
Stay tuned as his speed has drastically increased in the last  few weeks.    


#55 at Sleepy Hollow in Pennsylvania!
Little Guy - Big Heart.

GMS Member, Kristine Yakovchuk of Noahs Ark Animal Workshop was in a bind.  Her stove at home wasn't working. She immediately
turned to the network for a solution and found Jon Vawter, owner of Reliance Appliance.  Jon could have scheduled a house call, but
thought he may have a solution if her husband was close by.   Kristine put her husband on the phone and Jon walked him through the
problem over the phone and it didn't cost her a dime.  This is what being a GMS Member is all about.  Thanks Jon!
