FTC, I would like to express my appreciation for you wanting to make sure all business opportunities like ours will do the right things to express ourselves with integrity. I believe if we all act with good conscious than we can be proud to offer what ever we believe is a great chance for people to have a better life. I have been in this business for many years and I knew from the very first that anything worthwhile would take time and sacrifice. I did not have a lot of time or confidence but I did have a desire. I was willing to make a go of it knowing it was going to be up to me to make some commitments if I wanted something more in life. I did not expect something for nothing. It took longer than I thought but I knew with time I could learn enough about this business to make something of it and make it worth my while. It has provided us with many blessings but most important are the things I never planed on, like my friends that mean the world to me and personal growth that has been worth it alone! I believe there are a lot of good people that are looking for a better way to get ahead in life and I believe with ALL my heart that this is a great opportunity for anybody if they are willing to learn and put some time into it. My concern is if you put so many regulations as to waiting even “one” day that people can get discouraged so fast and we need to help people go if they are excited today. I know we have a money back guarantee if they change their mind anyway. I also would not want people calling me all the time as I know I would be a good reference and I certainly would not want to put that burden on anybody else. The other concern would be to express any legal concerns that would only discourage people that would really have no affect on their business anyway. I think we need to give people hope and give them a chance without scaring them from even trying. I’m glad that no one really tried to discourage me when I married my wife or decide to have a family. Sometimes we just have to give it a chance and if we want something bad enough we will make it through the tough times. I am thankful that this business was affordable and that there was some one to coach me and encourage me when I had some doubt about will it work for me. The support system has been a great help as I could learn at my own leisure and had personal help as well. Hopefully this will be some help from my perspective and hope we can make a difference. We do appreciate what you are trying to accomplish. Sincerely, Bob Howard
