To Whom It May My husband and I have been IBOs for over a year now and we're successfully building our own independent business with the help of our uplines in Canada and New York. It's a wonderful experience so far because outside of the income, we've developed special relationships with some wonderful persons we hadn't met before we started our independent business. We tell all our prospects that the Quixtar Business opportunity is not a 'get rich quick' scheme. It's a business opportunity where you get paid for performing. I think that it would be a hindrance for prospects to wait 7 days to get registered because it is hard to keep motivation and momentum in people if you tell them thhat they have to wait.We give our prospects as much information as we can so that they can have a clear understanding that they are starting their own independent business backed by a great supplier and the help of the BWW support team. I think that all things should be taken into the right perspective and as such I don't think that future performance should be based on what happened to some unfortunate person or organization in the past. Providing a list of litigation does not prove what will happen in my business. Independent business ownership is just that; we're in our own business and as such we have the rights to market and distribute the products and services provided by the corporation, Quixtar. The business is fairly new in Trinidad and as of now, it has been booming so much so that we have over 10 silvers in qualification, with a few golds and platinums before the year is out. As an IBO, we are not employees of Quixtar. Prospects have the right to have their own home based ecommerce business and to make as much retail profit that they want and invest in their future and their business what they want so that they can acquire what they need. All businesses are run differently and so it would appear that Peter is being punished for Paul unfortunately. People's perceptions of something can be different to what the reality is. IBOs have the ability to be the best or the worst business owners that they can be. It is up to the IBO to do what he has to, to plug in to the system, to do the work, to listen and counsel with his growing uplines, to associate, to come to the meetings, to attend training sessions to learn more, to go online and check the website and his emails, to dress in a business manner, to learn to be a professional, to be available to help his fellow team members, to understand the business he owns, to learn all that is possible to gain in this business, to be open minded, to have the right attitude, to believe in himself, to live the right way, to teach what he lives, to be accoutable, honest, and loyal, to have integrity, to be on par with the bigger picture, to get the job done, to do the work that he knows he must do to be successful, to have honest dealings with all persons he contacts and associates with, to live according to the rules that God has laid down, to work for his dreams and desires so that he can enjoy the fruits of his labor, to help persons to be free financially, to help others have the tools that they need to move on so that they can have a better life and an incredible lifestyle, to free people from the bondage of slavery for 40-45 years, to help ordinary human beings provide an inheritance for their future generations forever and to bless the world with their lives. That is all I have to contribute to this cause and as such I think that the FTC should think about what they are going to enforce and the impact that their rules will have on the lives of others like myself, who would never be free if it was not for this business opportunity. Thank you for your consideration and cooperation in this matter. God Bless You All.
