I have been an independent business owner for 8 years in the Quixtar business. I love it and it fits perfectly with my personal and financial goals I have achieved and plan to achieve in the future. When I was shown the opportunity I was given enough information to make an informed decision. That is why I am still in business. I give the people I work with enough information so they too can make an informed decision. The 7 day waiting period would negatively affect my business. It would not benefit the prospect because it is delaying their business from being launched so they can get started on their goals and dreams. This would negatively affect the profitable of all business owners. They are excite to get their business going and if they had to wait 7 days to resiter their customers it would negatively affect their business. It would be like telling the new Ikea store in Canton, MI that they had to wait 7 days after they opened their doors before their customeers could bring their friends and family in to the store and buy products. That policy/law would affect any buisness large or small. Tying the hands of the small business owners affects everyone and the economy. It affects all of the partners we work with. I'm from MI where thousands of auto employees are being let go. They are looking for an opportunity to start a small business. Give the small business people a break. Why make it so hard for the average person to make a living and a difference through a small business with Quixtar. I am a business owner and I make sure that my prospects are aware of the rules and regulations of being a good business owner. We have a lot of resources to get the information the prospect may need to operate a sucessful business. Things have been going well so please don't change laws and policies which negatively affect small business owners, the economy and the heart of America.
