Let the people speak
By QBlog in
I recently was shown an email from one of our uplines. It was about a lot of things but one of the comments mentioned me and this Web site. After reading the comment I wonder if the person making the statement had even visited this site at all. In addition to the comment regarding this site, the individual said some things about me that were plain lies, bordering on libel. I am still mulling over how to handle that but for now I want to address the perceptions of this site.
Upline comments: (edited for this blog)
"Here is QBlog's wife trying to build a business, and sleeping next to her is the very man who is trying to tear her group apart with his website, I mean not only does he not support her he is working against her..."
Ok, I get stuff like this all the time. I even post some of it here for all to see. Now I want to post some more comments, from people who only know me through this site. People who actually read this site and therefore, have a bit of credibility when commenting about this site.

Thank you for writing this blog. An old friend called me recently and started talking aobut "going into business together." He sent me some CDs to listen to, and eventually I figured out it was Quixtar, a company I had never heard of. Naturally, the first thing I did was search Google, and I have found a number of useful sites. Yours has been quite enlightening. Thanks again for dong it, and I hope you get to keep it up. Quixtar should not fear an honest opinion.

I think the stories and comments about the business are interesting. The one thing that I do not hear about is why would some one bulid the business. It's obvious that people who participated in the program had something they wanted out of it that JOBS cannot provide. Thats's why the business works no matter product or service...It's important to understand that you're not going to agree with what everyone says about everything, but if you stick to the basics of what makes the business work, later, most of the changes you want to make can be incorporated without affecting your business in a negative way.

You are so right about your postings and ideas. One of the main problems out there with IBO's is they dont seem to understand that they tie into the Quixtar website. When you have 1000s of people on your team you cant help them all. Thats why you have to have a business system. Something to distribute that everyone gets the same info. Otherwise its like passing a secret down the church pew and finding it changes a lot when the last person hears it. I happen to be fortunate enough to be on a team that uses that type of system and is having rapid growth. But just wanted to say i can totally understand your opinions on such things.
Those are just a few examples of the emails I get from this site. The tone is greatly contrasted to that of my upline. If others, people in the business, people I've never met, read this site and come away feeling that the content here is open, honest and candid and mainly unbiased then why do I feel like I'm being attacked by my upline?
This mess with Quixtar and uplines has taken its toll on my family. We honestly want to stay in the business but I also feel compelled to express myself in this space. What will the outcome be? I don't know. But I hope Quixtar doesn't kick us out. I really think it would be a mistake.
