The Cosman Family

Welcome to our world
of selling online.

Chances are you landed here because you are an online seller or are thinking about starting an online business. Are you tired and worried about working for someone else?  Is job security a concern?  Do you long for more autonomy in your life?

Now is the time to take control of your own income and future.

We have been selling online in various ways since 1998 when Rob made his very first website and launched a company selling online craft products.

Fast forward to present day. Our family of 4 have been living Costa Rica since 2017 and loving it.

In 2012, we decided we didn’t want an employer to have control over our income. We didn’t want to work long hours for someone else. We were demotivated to make money for our employers money when we could be let go any given day. We were tired of making excuses why commuting 2 hours everyday is not that bad when it actually it is! Exhausted from working harder not better.

We decided to take action by

  • Starting to sell on amazon again
  • Creating an e-commerce company selling home products to large retailers including Home Depot
  • Opening an accounting firm and a few other things including
  • Writing children’s books in 4 different languages

Over the next 5 years, we hustled at growing all these businesses. The plan was to get it to a point where we could replace our full time salary incomes. Then we could move to anywhere we wanted. We didn’t want nor could we afford to just quit. We had 2 children, a mortgage, car payments and other adult commitments. And let’s face it, as accountants, taking risks are not one of our greatest strengths.

All of these businesses were designed to work no matter where in the world we were located. Over time, both of us were fortunate enough to get laid off with a bit of severance to help with the transition. When Marsha was finally laid off that was the last piece of the puzzle! 6 months later after tax season, we had sold our house, cars, most of our furniture and were on an airplane moving to Costa Rica with our boys Jackson 6 at the time and Chase who was 3.

Now we are taking all the information we have learned along the way and our massive network to bring together a mountain of information under our brand to help others.

Hopefully you will find something that might inspire or spark the entrepreneurial spirit. Perhaps you’re well on your way in your business now and you find some information to help grow and increase your profits. Or maybe you want to add a new income source and we are able to show you something new. Lastly, we want to help prevent some pitfalls and ease some of the pain online entrepreneurs face.

The end of the day we want others to take control of their lifestyle. Create a business for yourself and your family, and live a lifestyle that you want….not what society has told you.

The beach is actuality for us but can be a metaphor for any happy place and lifestyle you want to live.

Welcome to our world…..by the beach.

Our Selling From The Beach Manifesto

I don’t work for a company. I am the company.
I don’t have a job, I have an asset.
I am responsible for everything that happens in my company and my decisions will drive its growth.
If I want to work more, then I will reap the benefits.
If I want to take time off, my business continues.
I don’t have performance reviews; my profit and lifestyle is my scorecard.

Hard work will directly benefit me and my family, not a boss or a shareholder.
Problems and difficulties are a daily occurrence but allow me to grow.
The higher the difficulty something is then there will be less competition at that level.
Lifestyle is a choice and I design my business around what and where I want to be.
I am an online business owner.
