Quixtar Chatter
By QBlog in
QuixtarBLOG is launching a new feature today called "Quixtar Chatter." The name is borrowed from the "chatter" phrase which was recently popularized by the U.S. Intelligence community to describe communications, usually among terrorists. Of course "Quixtar Chatter" has nothing to do with terrorism but the goal of this feature is to showcase the various Web discussions about Quixtar.
Since I began this blog nearly two years ago I've noticed a steady increase in casual conversations about Quixtar among bloggers and message boards. I've tried to catalog those Quixtar comments here but as the Web discussions increase I realized that devoting an entire post to each comment would change the nature of this blog.
And so, inspired by Jason Kottke's Remaindered Links, I created the "Quixtar Chatter" links. You'll notice them displayed only on the main blog page, down on the right-hand side, directly above the search box. These links will allow me to continue to catalog the variety of fresh Quixtar commentary without turning the entire blog into some kind of giant link dump.
Each "Quixtar Chatter" link will have prefix giving a general indication of the type of content one can expect to read. A (+) symbol would mean positive comments about Quixtar, a (-) would indicate negative, an (=) would indicate neutral (or both negative and positive) and a (?) means I have no freakin' idea how to classify the comment. Every link will also have a permalink (#), for those who would like to link directly to a particular "Chatter" entry for crediting purposes. The "Chatter" links are automatically cycled off the Quixtar Blog homepage into the "Chatter Archives" after a period of time to keep the links fresh and interesting.
I hope you enjoy the "Quixtar Chatter." I will continue to tweak it and expand it over the next few weeks. Thanks for stopping by the QuixtarBLOG.

"Bravo! what a career 'Quixtar blogger by trade'."
Better than an Amway distributor.
Toyota has different names because they're different cars, not because you buy one on the internet and not the other.
Nice big names you're dropping. Why not drop the A-bomb if you're so proud of your company? It also supplies Quixtar, and Quixtar would not exist without Amway. Rest assured, these companies treat AmQuix like any other vendor, and would vehemently deny any sort of "partnership"
With all due respect, just because you say you are suceeding, it doesn't mean you are. If I were you, and was doing that great, I'd include a link to a Quixtar site with my pin achievement on it.
The difference between unethical mechanics, real estate agents "et al" is the fact that they are singular, and not out to recruit others to teach them how to rip people off. Apples and Oranges.
Have fun on your trip. Hope you think about the overwhelming majority of people who can't go on these trips because they (ok its their fault too) waste their money on useless tapes, books and seminars. The very things that you promote to them in order that they can have what you have.
But that's just me :)
It's a little surreal seeing my blog on your Quixtar Chatter link. I looked at my blog counter stats and was astonished at the jump I received on July 26. From ~4 pageloads/day to ~90/day. Wow!
Just out of curiosity, how did you find that particular entry? Googling doesn't exactly turn it up. Or is there a blog crawler available?
WoW I tell you what because of Quixtar and BWW I am 18 and will never have to work for another man the rest of my life...and not go thro the lie iam told about going to college will get me a secure job... because if that was true 98% of americans at 65 wouldnt be in debt or still working.
A suggestion: Any ranking of these blogs? If some one is able to rank them, putting all biases aside. Which is hard to do. Ranking based on voting and criteria being usability, design, effectiveness of content, Quality of content, technical details, respect for libel laws etc. +, - is a great idea. Some asterisks to rank them?
I find some content rich sites hard to read. OTH some stupid sites have much impressive design. It may give all authors a chance to improve.
Of course the best indicator is the traffic, but traffic is also dependent on many things.
Just a thought.
So, as a "Quixtar blogger by trade", what have you done to become so great? and why have some people failed? I'm thinking about becoming an IBO.
While being courted by a couple to join, we were invited to an "awesome training" from 'leaders' in the company. These folks have done the hard work. This training will be stuff you've never heard before - blah blah blah. I went. Cost me 15 bucks and a beautiful Saturday evening. It started at 8!
It was rehashed, old crap that wasn't new. This couple doing the training was wooden, boring and what they said just didn't ring true. What a shock! At the end, the couple was asked to put their name and address on the white board so we could send them a thank you note! I wrote it down and looked it up in puplic records - they have 3 mortgages on their house!
No thanks. I only have one mortgage and that's enough!
1st off, i am an IBO with quixtar and bww. Now first things first. If you are reading the MSNBC/Dateline interview about Quixtar, you need to research a litlle bit about Bo Short. Bo Short was a IBO for Quixtar, actually he was in it for 4 years. here is one website that will tell you a lil bit about him http://www.amquix.info/bo_short_intro.html
ok now back to dateline Bo short addresses how bad quixtar is and how it is a scam...well to tell you the truth...he created a business known as Passport, which uses the same concepts as Quixtar, Now why would he say bad things about a company based on his...well COMPETITION! In the article brought to you by msnbc it states that he has created a business that has competion with quixtar. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4375477/
Here is the direct quote
Quixtar declined to be interviewed on camera. But its managing director, Ken McDonald says in a letter that Short's recollection of events is "misleading" and he questions Short's "motivation" for speaking out. Short does run a small direct marketing firm himself and Quixtar considers him a potential competitor.
Now Bo also talks about how quixtar people make the money by selling the cds, books, and seminars. Short remarks taht they make u buy the cds and all, well i have proof that u dont have to. in the quixtar registration policy it announces that you have the right,
It states:
BUSINESS SUPPORT MATERIALS - I understand that some IBOs independently produce and distribute Business Support Materials (BSMs)
such as books, magazines, audio and video tapes, software,Web sites, Internet services and other electronic media, support tools, or tickets
to motivational or business-building seminars and rallies. Some IBOs earn income from the sale of BSMs apart from their earnings as IBOs.
I understand that my decision to purchase any BSMs is entirely up to me. In making this decision, I will use my own good judgement as to
what is best for my Independent Business. I acknowledge that I have received and read a copy of the Business Support Materials Arbitration
Agreement (BSMAA). If I decide to purchase BSMs, I should also execute the Agreement to Arbitrate contained therein, but I acknowledge
that in any event BSMs disputes involving another IBO remain subject to my Agreement to Arbitrate, above.
Ok. now if u still have that thought in the back of ur mind thats ok...Quixtar isnt for everyone if it was then there would not be unique...Thinking different is what makes people unique in the own way. THe only thing is these same people who say things are scams are usually the ones that want to be in the position taht others are already in. You have to rememebr that this is not a get rich quick scheme. If you treat it as a hobby you will have an outcome as a hobby, if you treat it like a millionare job, then most likely ur efforts will make it into a millionare job. The choice is yours...you choose!
Do not listen to anyone that is still "drinking the coolaid" for advice. I voluntarily drank gallons of the stuff through tapes, books, seminars. etc. Hit the wonderful Direct level, felt mislead and walked away. So I have been there, done that. Advice to IBO's, stop the "system" for 3 months or so, look at what you have "invested" and what your return is. I currently earn 6 figures in direct sales, so I am not a sore loser, I just want people to benefit from by experiences. Remeber IBO's, the best esperience is someone elses, listen and benefit.
i've just become an IBO and i love this company. Society gives false promise not Quixtar. Society implies that to be successful you must graduate from college, get a undergraduate degree, and then a Masters. This is a preconcieved notion that people fall into everyday. Student are in debt and not finding jobs that they are qualified for. My friends are graduating from college only to make 30 grand a year. Is that what i'm going to college for a measly 30 grand a year. My debt will be greater than that. Also, what is wrong with motivating individuals with self-help books and tapes. They are everywhere. When you walk into Barnes and Noble there is a whole section on them. Feel better, do this... do that... There's nothing wrong with motivating a person to do better in life and to think bigger. That's the problem with society... they want you think big but act small. Quixtar allows individuals who have who want more out of their life to get it. It's hard work and it's not easy. If it was.... everyone would do it. This has been a God sent for me. I hate my job... and I mean HATE MY JOB. I can not wait for the day when i can walk out and say "See Ya." This has given me hope. I know that this is where I want to be. People who ridicule Quixtar remind me of the Romans who looked down on Jesus. Jesus brought hope into the common man's life. He brought miracles and faith. He was an innocent man who was put to death because of his promises. Quixtar lays down the truth... you get out of what you put into it. And that's with anything. I have learned that others put Quixtar down only because they didnt get the promises they were told. But did they follow the steps. People get mad at God b/c they think he's supposed get them out of trouble all the time... but yet they are not fully devoted to him. you have to be devoted to God in everything you do. I am devoted to God and God has sent Quixtar in my life to get of my negative enviroment that i currently work in. I am going to be patient and put my trust in him that Quixtar is right for me.
This is a testimony... i was at work crying... it became a stressful enviroment for ALL my co-workers. I'm in sales working for a Billion dollar company. I made over 300G for the company last year... did i see any of that... NO! I was crying at work and was tired and starting to become depressed. But i found myself stuck... Finanically.... come one we all have bills to pay. then I prayed and put it into God's hands. Literally two days later, I got a phone call. I immediately said yes. I couldnt refuse, this was a message for God. He knows the desires of my heart and he knew that the negative enviroment would kill my soul. Since i've been going to the meetings. I have been energized. If that is all that I get out of being an IBO it's enough. It has given me the confidence again. With God's good grace and blessings... I will be successful and it's in his Holy name that I praise.
Hello. P.J. I just wanted to take a moment and say thanks. You took the words right out of my mouth. I have been around the world to train for a company who when I returned fired or respectively "resigned me". I have two children and a wife. I recently got into the business. This is the only chance I have to do something and become successful. I placed alot of hopes and dreams into a college degree; of course that's after almost spending $21,000 for it. But yeah I had to quit... a little too much time and money for me to spare. Then I met too many people who went to school for the education only to find that they lack the experience. Now highly educated but under experienced... and jobless. Quixtar is the only thing I have found that offers experience and education all at the same time. It also is thousands of dollars cheaper. Go figure. Yeah it is not a get rich quick scheme... it's a bone-a-fide business opportunity. Of course there are senical people out there... if there wasn't then we would all be successful millionaires without a care in the world. But as it stands for Quixtar... it is not a business for narrow minded or senical people. There are dreamers and there are livers of dreams... what are you? I have gotten negativity on this but you know what... SO WHAT... What are they doing that's so great? Oh yeah working six days a week and 10- 12 hours a day... sorry but that don't work for me... a family man. I see the dream and the potential and I am going for it... what do I have to lose? I am only buying things that I already use and need. Oh and I am teaching others to do the same thing... Crazy concept... huh? If you are someone thinking about getting into the biz then be for warned... there are people out there who don't believe in the opertunity... don't worry they will come to see... or maybe not. Always remember that negativity is always a part of positivity. As for TNORD... sorry to hear that you let your mind get in the way of your heart. You were on the brink of no return... to work that is. How could you have possibly felt mislead when it was you that did the leg work and built your organization up, had the money coming in... saw the chance and let it go. There is no "coolaid", the only thing there is is the dream. One that thousands of people have been able to live out through Quixtar. What is it that we all live for... some say to die... I say to live out our dreams.
Interesting, interesting. I am a Psychology major, minored in Communication. My boyfriend is an IBO. I am concerned with his involvement in Quixtar. I am an skeptical person by nature, and I am very investigative, and am open to all information. Unfortunately, my boyfriend has been pretty much brainwashed by his "business" associates and up line. He refuses to look at any information that may be available because it may contradict what his upline has told him. I have read "Merchants of Deception". I found this book interesting, and many will say it is just the whining of a disenchanted former business owner, but I find the similarities between its author and my boyfriend frightening. He uses exact phrases that the author talks about such as "Fired up". He has shaved his face because he feels it will promote a better business "look", (he had a very neat and mature looking goatee). He has bought cds books and other tools. He is constantly going to opens and seminars and talking about "Dream weekends". He is a single custodial father. He spends his free time building the business, and very little of it with his young daughter. His upline pumps sunshine up his rear all the time about how "PROUD" they are of him and how he is going to "GO ALL THE WAY", they even give him cards. If he listens to his voice mail, it is rambling messages that mostly end in "LOVE YA" or "WE LOVE YOU GUYS". Be for real. They don't really love you, they just love the money they think that you might be putting into their business. He has been programmed to not listen to anyone that may talk negatively about the business, excuse me but this sounds like good old brainwashing and I dare anyone to say other wise.
I am an educated person, and I have studied people in cults. HELLO? My boyfriend even tells his daughter crap that is just sick. He tells her that "daddy has to go, because he is building the business so that you can have a horsey" when she asks why he is leaving. It is a line I have read and heard almost word for word by other IBOs telling their kids. It is so THEY don't feel guilty because deep down, they realize that they should be with their families and partners building relationships in stead of building the business.
My opinion is not just based on some info I gathered on the internet. I see the changes in my boyfriend every day. He is drag butt tired every day because he is trying to make this successful, but for some reason, maybe because of all the upline pumping sunshine and telling him how much they "love him" and how he's "gonna make it big" he can't see that he is wasting what he has now. His little girl is growing up NOW.
I want proof that this is a promising opportunitiy, because so far, I have heard a lot of BS, seen a lot of BS, and heard a lot of sunshine pumping and brainwashing.
1. I want to see how much they are really getting out of it. How much time they are spending in opens, seminars, trips, time on the road, contacting, and meeting and "showing the plan"
2. I want to see information that is not printed or produced by Amyway or Quixtar or any of its affiliates, stuff that has its hands clean of this mess. I don't care if it is anti or pro, just as long as it is completely untouched in any way by Amway.
3. I want to see the tax returns of some of these so-called big earners. I don't want to hear it, I want to see it.
4. I want to see how much was invested finacially and how much they really got back. I've seen my boyfriend put money into seminar tickets, cds, books, meals on the road, gas money, new clothes, trips to more "training"( hotels & plane tickets) and tools and samples to get people interested.
5. I want someone to show me where they are really coming out ahead buying from themselves. I can buy most of that stuff locally, for the same price or cheaper. A lot of the food tastes like crap, some is good, but I can buy similar stuff today and not have to wait for it to be shipped. A lot of it is overpriced, but I do and will continue to buy my amway soaps and detergents.
6. Tell me that this isn't a cult. People are being continually praised and petted and encouraged. They are being drawn in and made to feel good so that they don't question actions or what information that they are being fed by "the business" I tried to get my boyfriend to look at some information. He refuses to look at internet info that is "anti-Quixtar" because it is negative and his upline told him not believe it because any old person can post stuff out there. Where did having your own mind go? He only reads information by Quixtar, for Quixtar. How can a person be accurately informed when that is all they have. HMMMMM, any one ever heard of JIM JONES, DAVID KORESH , MANSON? There are others who had groups and they all wanted to believe in something and they all made their people feel good. Maybe some of you need to do some homework. Quixtar tells my boyfriend exactly what he wants to hear: that he is being helped and he is on his way to financial freedom, and it comes with its own group of cheerleaders: the upline.
7. Show me some books or tools that have a truly ulturistic purpose. No one is ulturistic. The authors of those books probably could care less if you get anything out of it, they just enjoy the profit that Quixtar is getting them by "recommending" their tool. Read up on Mr. Kiyosaki. Here is a really interesting fellow. He can't seem to keep his stories or advice straight, but he is part of the "recommended" reading tools. Go to http://www.johntreed.com/Kiyosaki.html Yeah, he is a dandy. The most he probably ever made was from Quixtar's people reading this crap.
I am searching for some answers that aren't pre written and upline sponsered. I want some straight answers, not answers by Quixtar, I want some proof that my boyfriend is going to come out of this making a profit and not loose his ass, or his personal and family relationships. I see him wanting to "build" a business and I have only seen negative changes promoted in him in his personal and family relationships. They have gone to hell, but his relationships with his up line just keep on growing, because as he puts it "they are taking me somewhere". Last week I overheard him telling his upline in a quavering voice some really personal information that not even I, the person who he lives with, takes care of his child and sleeps with him had heard. It was all about his feelings regarding his missing father figure. Since when did his up line become his shoulder to lean on? Hello? This just proves a point. I am PSYCHOLOGY major. I deal with issues. Prior to this we could talk about anything. Now he only wants to talk to his upline.
The upline has embraced him and eveloped him and pumped him so full of sunshine telling him what he wants to hear that now he turns to them for his personal needs too. GAG me. Where does it end? Sorry if I seem a bit sarcastic, but I just find it so sickeningly sad. I see it with every open and seminar he goes to. Anyone how ever listens to the redundant and rambling voice mails that are forwarded would understand.
Some days he has moments that everything is clear and he sees the crap for what it is, and then all it takes is one call from the sunshine gang telling him how "proud" they are, or that they "love him" or someone calling to see if he is "fired up" and he looses his identity again.
I work for a University. IF this plan is so great and the authors of the all these tools are so wonderful, how come we don't make their books required reading materials? How come if this is so great of an opportunity, how come our Ph D's arent spouting off in lectures about it? And why if Quixtar is so great and produces so much for its sellers are our Accountancy/Business professors not teaching their greatness? Why is it when I talk to Business professors they have nothing to good to say about it? Is it because they are stupid individuals? I would like some answers, dare to answer it for me, I would love to be proven wrong....
I enjoy reading the average people squabble about the jealousy they have for successful people creating businesses from hard work. Quixtar has changed my life, saved my marriage, and brought me closer to what is important in life... happiness. I am sure the guys who dont dream would buy a dream if they could. To bad us Quixtar guys can earn our dream and get paid for it.
It sounds to me like you guys are in the top 1% that actually make money. What about the other people who didn't make it? They had a dream, they wanted to "flush that job"(such a lame chant). What about the people that tried to expose quikstar and got canned because they are morally sound and thought it was bs what the big shots were doing? Sorry, I won't be one to take it in the ass
I dont even know why I waste my time reading these messages. There will always be the poor "thinking", and the rich "thinking". Being poor or rich is a state of mind. We will always need people to wash our cars, to deliever the mail, to serve us food. There will always be jobs and there will be business owners (less than 5%). One thing is for sure, you are limited by your own mind. When ever you are on top someone will knock you down, or try to. Name one successful person in anything and you will find a critic. Jelousy is abundant in everything. Shop at Wal-mart, believe your saving money and live your life with your job. Make changes, find a mentor, and sacrifice some things and maybe, just maybe you can have a life you REALLY want. It all comes down to choices and decisions. Whatever decision you choose always remember that if you are an American you are in the top 1% of the world and be thankful you can choose. If the business works for you, GET IT DONE. If not, dont complain, its just not for you.
HMMMM Ms. Psychology major sounds like like you need some good upline counceling yourself. dont hate Because your boyfriend found his route to becomming successful. I'm sure you had your type of support for the route to your level of success. And if he does I hope he is still with you because he will have learned through the support and encouragement from people who have been where he is. You may get left behind. Good for your boyfriend. He has taken a chance, which most people dont do. By the way you should try concider robert kiyosaki. His system contributed to our success. It's called a rat race which sounds like you enjoy. So then miss psychologist stay there.
here is the deal.. stop always talking about people who do good in school and get jobs that don't make as much. Money isn't everything in life. Family, Friends, Love etc. are just examples of things that money doesn't give you. Just b/c you may make money doing this dont even talk about other people and how they arent making as much money. If it was the best thing in the world to make money, then EVERYONE would be doing it. There is always people who fail at this. The richest people in the world don't do quixstar.
Dude,
I am amazed how all the broke super heros, saviors of broke people are at one website. You can start a WBO(World Broke Org.).
You guys dont even deserve to talk about Quitaxs, Scum rats. Have you ever thought of helping anybody in your whole life. You live with the classic CRAB mentality. We will not succeed or not let anybody succeed.
Each one of you tell me your profiles. You think this is a wrong way of making money. Lets see your way. How many of you are from top notch schools? How many are gold medalist or researchers or have patents under you? And if you do why you haven't stated some thing like Google or atleast something like Blogger.
You guys are failure in every aspect of life. So just live in your tiny winy blog hole. If you come out I quixtar guy Like me will eat you.
YOU THUMB SUCKING WINERS.
Amway is a business. Business takes hard work. Tell me which businessman sleeps at night without worrying about whether there will be sales tomorrow, or whether suppliers won't screw up their consignments. How much is spent on advertising, overheads, etc.?
Quixtar and Amway provide a platform for those with a dream to partner with them and focus on growing their customer base and organization. We give good service to our customers... their friendship and loyalty atest to it.In return Amway rewards us.
Other companies manufacturing and selling nutritional, beauty, home, personal care products are competitors (think of the BIG CORPORATIONS WHICH I WON"T NAME) and hate Amway for taking their share of the market and share of the customers. Don't be surprised if they are among the negative bloggers who incite hate and spread lies about Amway and Quixtar. It's just NATURAL for them to protect their own interest.
We just keep on focusing on producing the best products coupled with the best business opportunity & give our customers & distributors the best service possible!
Amway and DVI ROCKS!
It is funny how Ms. Psychology major and communication minor has issues communicating with her boyfriend........Makes a person wonder if you can get a degree over the internet still???? Maybe your boyfriend doesn't talk to you anymore because he understands that you can't be supportive of what he wants.
You say it must be a cult because you are encouraged and complimented.... That is not a cult that is a caring relationship similar to what you want from a parent and friends. Maybe you should seek that out for yourself. A cult wants you to kill yourself and hop a ride on a comet.
If the only way to prove to her is to show her tax returns of the biggest earners then I am assuming her current boss has shown their returns to her already. Silly little girl.
So for the little college girl get your crayons and take notes;
If Amway is so bad then why did they make over 4 billion last year?
If Quixtar is bad then why did we make 1.4 billion.
Why are we endorsed by Microsoft and Disney who are very aware of what a bad affliation can do?
Why doesnt Quixtar have any complaints filed with the BBB??
If Quixtar is so bad the why are there over 2 million people in it?
Why are there 12,000 companies waiting to get into the Quixtar network including Walmart the number 1 company in the world?
When is your college going to ask for your degree back?????????
i can't believe people still join this cult/scam. it never ends. the words. the canned answers. the rehearsed lines. the foolishness. can anyone answer this for me... do they people who post pro-quixtar stuff on these blogs work for the corporation? are they the .005% that actually eeks out a living on the system? or are they just brainwashed idiots afraid to see the light?
Quickstar IBO's "uplines" just know business and hard core business. they want more and more and more money. Their life is like a machine controlled hell.
well i just have to say you are a bunch of lunatics
I wonder why so many people have such ill feelings for Quixtar. I am an IBO and no, I have not been successful (Monetarily speaking) yet, but I am still working on it. I believe this business has changed me in a positive way, even though I don't have the big bonus checks to show for it. It seems to me there is so much negitivity in the world, that it wears us down to an untrusting and suspicious majority. I can relate. I have large debts from college, a car, and a job that doesn't pay for anything extra.
I saw this opportunity as hope. It didn't cost much to get involved, the people are upbeat and caring. The cost of a traditional business is somehow overlooked when an opinion is formed about this one. And where can you get mentors for virtually nothing? I find that the support material everyone is up in arms about are inspiring books by authors, such as, Lou Holtz and Stephen Covey. And the CD's are successful IBO stories and principles to help us get over our fears and inexperience. How long it takes is simply up to me. What are you doing about your situation? Doing or Droning? Good luck with that:)
For both of you geeks: surprisedthisscamstillexists and ajit amiya.
You are the stupidest people I came across inmy whole life. By the way let me ask you a simple question have you ever run a successful business. Dont answer. I know you havent. If you did you know how business runs. For now just keep on licking you Boss's butt because that what you are in this world for.
Haha!
I cant even laugh at the misfortune of you who hate Quixtar. Let me tell u guys. Who of you has done anything extra for your family? Yes you may have " thought of " giving them the best made BIG promises but did u finally do it? NO. Cuz u could not. Better word is YOU WOULD NOT. Because you do not dare to take risks. You are one amongst the age old traditional mentalities of people. Remember he who takes risks and does something unique is the only person at the top. This fact is true that all cant win otherwise WE loose our importance. Iam sure you all mustve heard about the story of the Jackal who could not eat the GRAPES at the vineyard. He tried a bit and then after few jumps he gave up and went around telling everyone that the grapes are sour. IDIOTS! You are the crazy jackals. You try hard you get far and thats when you are at power. We are stuck to QUIXTAR like our SOULD is stuck to us deep inside. No matter what. We will make it to the top in this business and Iam sure that at that time you will be getting sponsored by some of our downlines or maybe not. Finally ! Roasting a fistful of soil cannot kill the cavity of the EARTH nor can a hand-cup full of boiled water can purify the ocean. Choice is OURS. Winning is a choice Loosing is an option. You took your option. Good luck! Work for others and make thousands and let them make millions out of you O you Misfortuned Corporate Employee! I feel so bad for u! Finally one is born with his/her destiny. God didnt put the power of understanding inside your common man brain. We are DIAMONDS who shine and glitter. DIAMONDS are Forever and DIAMONDS linger. If you all people join QUIXTAR how will the rest of the world work man! haha! Continue your idiot jobs and keep your family in DIRE STRAITS. Best of Luck Corporate DONKEY!
Bravo! what a career 'Quixtar blogger by trade'. I missed the launch of this site that provides therapy for IBOs who failed and warns others based on some negative experiences with other IBOs.(my perceptions)
Hmmm.. I wonder if the CEO's of OfficeMax, IBM, Whirlpool, Circuit City, MCI, K.B Toys and book selling Giant Barnes & Nobles visited this site before deciding to join forces with Quixtar? The most recent additions were post NBC Expose(probably they don't have T.Vs)
I wonder why am I succeeding and others aren't? Lets blame Quixtar and the respective training systems and have a quixtar blog. I know some people who graduated top of their class in college and have no jobs after soooo much books and classes. They should blame the professors, sue the colleges and of course have a College Blog.
I wonder why no one here is mentioning about social security? The biggest pyramid on the plannet, that most participate in with little hope of returns(See Swiss America Resarch Department March 10th 2004) also read 'Who stole the American Dream' which you can purchase through Barnes & Nobles(of course no tool money to upline)
I wonder why UPS, GM, Verizon, Morgan Stanley and other Mega Companies are being sued? I know... you should not receive anymore packages from UPS and cut your phone service because someone/people have issues with these companies.
OOPs! I am sorry, I forgot that this is a quixtar blog site. Everyone can visit www.quixtarfacts.com and gather facts about the company. People say that Amway is Quixtar(just a name change and same owners) Well is a Corolla a Lexus beacuse they are owned by the same Company Toyota?
When Rich and Jay started the American Way Association (Amway) They were already Nutrilite Distributors and they invited other distributors to be part of Amway. I wonder why people don't walk around calling Amway Nutrilite?(visit www.amway.com for brief history)
I have heard of people surprising people with the 'PLAN' and using different tactics all together. I have also seen strange tactics in some real estate agents and mechanics. These few do not speak for everyone in that industry. Its no different here.
There are honest hardworking IBO's like myself enjoying what Quixtar has to offer anyone willing to do the work and produce results. I don't know of any Company out there paying a 'Trying Bonus'
I am on my way to the Achievers trip which will be held at the Walt Disney Swan and Dolphin resort sponsored by Quixtar. I will be accompanied by a couple folks on my team whom I also helped. I don't see them complaining as they get that trip, plus $15,000 founders/Q12 award.
Quixtar was ranked #1 in health and Beauty AGAIN!(see Internet Retailer Magazine). As long as there are hard working IBO's like myself quixtar will go on to become a Trillion Dollar company and of course your site will keep getting hits. Bravo I hope it pays all the negative bloggers as well as Quixtar pays us IBOs.
No one is forced to buy tools and purchase can be discontinued at anytime(as mentioned on the tapes and CD's) and they are tax deductable too. Its amazing to me that an X-IBO would talk about quiting his JOB and in his best year made a mere $34,000.
Here is tip # 1 to IBOs out there....DON'T QUIT YOUR JOB UNTIL YOU HAVE A SOLID BUSINESS REPLACING YOUR INCOME AND YOU ARE SATISFIED WITH YOUR LEVEL IN THE BUSINESS.(I didn't need upline to tell me that...its common sense)
Tip# 2 If your are not finding benefit and self growth in the books and tapes then....STOP BUYING THEM.
Tip# 3 If you rely on the opinions and experiences on this site(one man's perceptions) to make your final business decisions, I hope you really enjoy your JOB and plan to be there for a while.(if its still around)
Tip#4 Grab a snicker-bar if tip#3 applies to you!
