I've been affiliated w/ Quixtar for 6 yrs now. I'm single & was 22 yrs old when I was introduced to this opportunity. This opportunity has greatly enriched my life not just financially, but all around. I've learned to handle finances properly to having quality friendships and being closer to my family ,b/c they are in business w/ me. I've personally registered 26 people and more below them. I'm excited about bringing more people on & sharing my life w/ them to help their lives be more fulfilled. I'm striving towards financial independance so that I can provide security for my parents and family to come. Before I was registered into this business I was able to meet other business owners in the area. Some were "doing well" and some were just happy to be involved. I then was able to sit down one on one w/ my registering IBO and have questions and concerns answered. I did not need a lot of facts and figures and information about the company. All I knew was that the person that registered me I could trust and the people that I had met seemed to be honest people. Because Quixtar has a money back gaurentee I felt that I could back out @ any time if those people had broken my trust. I've duplicated that when getting others started. I encourage them to come to opportunity classes before they register so that they can meet other people. I've found that the more open and honest I am w/ people I will have better success. In my business providing references are essentially covered. I don't agree w/ my information being passed along b/c that infringes on my privacy. As far as a 7 day wait, based on my experience that would place a greater hinderance to getting a prospect started and helping them achieve success early. I registered 2 people in my 1st week which gave me a lot of confidence in the opportunity. It's also been my experience that the longer people take to get started they are more succeptible to getting false or errelivant info about our business. I believe that a "litigation list" could be misleading to a prospect. I have found that w/ a lot of large co.'s there's a lot of errelivant charges against them which usually never amounts to anything. A prospect sometimes don't know how to discern between ligitimate and illigitimate charges. I am also strongly against providing financial records to anyone except who I choose. That is no ones business. I do provide copies of some months of my income, but @ my discretion. And if anyone askes how much I make I'm honest. I'm completly for laws that will protect the public from dishonest businesses. However, some of these proposals could hurt a person when it comes building a strong and honest business like Quixtar. I believe that the general public needs to be educated more about businesses like these and what makes them honest and dishonest so that when they see it for themselves they will know. I'm very greatful that there's an opportunity in America like Quixtar that's given an average person w/ no college education, w/ lots of debt and overdue bills, like myself, an opportunity. And until this point I felt that there's nothing slowing my success down. I would like that to continue. Thank You, Kenny
