Comments:
I DO FEEL THAT REASONABLE DISCLOSURE FOR ALL BUSINESSES IS GOOD AND EVERYONE SHOULD HELP PEOPLE MAKE A WISE DECISION ON BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES. I SUGGEST A CLEAR AND LEVEL PLAYING FIELD FOR STANDARD INCOME DISCLOSURES FOR DIRECT SELLERS. I DO THAT ALL THE TIME WITH ANYONE CONSIDERING OUR BUSINESS PLAN BY PROVIDING THE SA-4400 FORM FOR THIER CONSIDERATION. WE HAVE A REASONABLE CANCELLATION PROGRAM IN PLACE BY THE RETURN OF THE INDIVIDUALS REGISTRATION COST IF DISSATISFIED IN THE FIRST 30 DAYS. THE PROPOSED RULE TO HAVE A SEVEN DAY WAITING PERIOD IS UNREASONABLE FOR ANY BUSINESS WHETHER IT'S CAR SALES OR STARTING A QUIXTAR POWERED OPPORTUNITY. THIS SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AS IT WILL NOT CARIFY BUT MUDDY THE DECISION PROCESS. THIS COUNTRY HAS DONE SO MUCH TO PROTECT THE PRIVACY OF ALL INDIVIDUALS, AND THIS PROPOSED RULE WOULD DEFEAT THE PROCESS BY GIVING A LIST OF INDEPENDENT BUSINESS OWNERS OUT TO A PROSPECTED BUSINESS OWNER. THAT IS NOT GOOD SENSE NOR SHOULD IT BE ALLOWED. THE FINANCES OF MY BUSINESS ARE JUST THAT,MINE. I FEEL ANY RULINGS TO DISCLOSE PERSONAL FINACES BY REQUIRMENT ARE TOTALLY IRREGULAR AND VERY INEFFECTIVE. MY BUSINESS HAS ALLOWED THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEND MY GRANDCHILDREN TO A PRIVATE SCHOOL, THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT HAVE COME TO PAST WITH OTHER BUSINESS OWNERS IS PRICELESS, AND MY SUPPORT TEAM HAS MENTORED ME THE WHOLE TIME SINCE 1999. PLEASE DON'T RUIN A GOOD CONCEPT THAT WHEN TREATED PROFESSIONALLY AS OUR ORGANZATION DOES CAN CHANGE LIVES IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION AND GIVE FINANCIAL AND OTHER MEANS OF SUPPORT TO THOSE WHO CHOSE TO WORK AT IT. IT IS NOT A GET RICH SCHEME NOR IS IT A WELFARE PROGRAM, BUT FOR THOSE WHO CHOSE TO MAKE IT WORK, IT DOES. SINCERELY, SHARON FLANERY
