FTC, Thanks for stepping in and putting some guidelines together to weed out illegitimate get rich quick buisnesses. I am a IBO and have been for 7 months. When I got in the quixtar buisness I had more than enough information to make an educated decision. And with our buisness I can cancel within the first year and get a refund. I was showed before entering the business the profit potential for an active IBO. I feel that putting a 7 day waiting period for registration would not only cost the new person registering more money, but would also cost myself more money to do the driving distances and expenses IBO's such as myself take on. I also feel that we provide more than enough info before registering to make an educated decision whether or not this business is for them. In any great business adventure their are always critics or people without a dream that may of got in a business and gave up on theirselves. They write stuff on the web and anywhere they can because it is alot easier to say a business doesn't work or it's a scam rather than say they were a quitter. Everybody enters the quixtar buisness at point zero and its up to them how far to take it. We provide support to all who seek it. No man is better than the other. I also feel that disclosing financial records is inapproiate in the normal business world and in ours. Imagine going to interview for a job and asking the boss to show you his paycheck. You probably wouldn't get the job. So I feel that everybody's finances are personal and should be kept within the household. I also feel that giving an IBO reference list to call is the exact opposite of the correct posture in business. We look for winners that want to achieve more and we hold the standards very high. All the legitmate information they need is found on the quixtar website. www.thisbiznow.com is another website they can go on to make an educated decision. Our business is built on integrity and accountability and thats the way its going to stay. I think their should be viable websites like www.thisbiznow.com to go on and find legitamate info about other buisnesses. I am working my way to success in the quixtar buisness and look to use it as my full source of income in the next couple years and I thank you all for trying to get rid of the scams and false advertisements out there.
