Dear Sir/Ma'am, I have been an IBO for over three years now. When I saw the opportunity to link up with a quality company such as Quixtar and have the chance to run and operate my own business I was excited. When I got registered I had all the information I needed to make a quality decision. There was no pressure for me to get started and I felt confident that I could excel with such a great opportunity. Getting registered was the best decision I could make for my future and my family's future. With Quixtar I am in the process of earning my financial independence and provide my wife and children a lifestyle I never knew existed. Everyone I talk to is excited about the company and the quality of products and services it provides. When getting new IBO's registered the process is simple and clear, providing people with detailed contracts and information outlining the Quixtar opportunity. In no way can someone be led to believe this is a "get rich quick" scheme. It clearly states that the "average active IBO earns approximately $115/month" which makes perfect sense because average business owners don't excel in any endeavor. The Quixtar busines plan is simple but that doesn't make it easy. It still requires hard work to succeed like anything else in life. In my experience, those who have ever bad-mouthed Quixtar are people who want the rewards of hard work but aren't willing to pay the price to earn it. Quixtar is a business and while the opportunity is pure and the playing field is level for all that get registered, what IBO's do with the opportunity is up to them. The system is set up for IBO's to succeed and any deviations or restrictions would only hinder new prospective IBO's from excelling. It costs less then $180 to get started in business and if after 6 months that IBO decides that Quixtar is not for them they can get their money back and go on their way. It is a risk free investment and new IBO's have everything to gain and nothing to lose. A week long delay in getting a new IBO registered would only hinder their ability to gain momentum quickly from the start. The hardest part of building a large and profitable business is in the beginning when you are first getting started. Any restrictions or delays in that process would only frustrate someone trying to take off running. Why hold them back? The opportunity is real and Quixtar has gone out of it's way provide business owners with all the information, facts and figures required to make a quality decision. I think any restrictions, required litigation lists, or additional earning disclosures would only dampen the success of a potential IBO. I hope this statement will aid your decision in not passing the proposed FTC rule being considered. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Joshua Bock
