Here is some of the positive information regarding the Quixtar business.

"THE FACTS ABOUT QUIXTAR
About Quixtar
Quixtar is one of the biggest business-success stories of the 21st century.
Quixtar is the pioneer of the I-commerce business model, which is the convergence of four key elements: the Individual, the Internet, a full-service Infrastructure, and Independent Business Ownership. This dynamic combination provides a business opportunity unlike anything online or on land.
Quixtar is based near Grand Rapids, Michigan. Quixtar Canada Corp. is headquartered in London, Ontario, Canada.
Quixtar Inc. reported sales of $1.035 billion in its last fiscal year and is the number-one online health and beauty retailer.
About the Quixtar Plan
With Quixtar’s Independent Business Ownership Plan, each IBO sets his own goals and decides how much time and effort to invest. The beauty of Quixtar’s plan is that every IBO has the opportunity to reach levels equal to or greater than his sponsoring IBO. Success is as individual as each Independent Business Owner.
Quixtar’s business plan follows the same established plan cited by the Michigan Attorney General as an example of a legal, legitimate tiered marketing business. There are four key elements that make the Quixtar Plan legal and a model of integrity:
Sales-based compensation. Compensation in the Quixtar Plan is based on sales of products and services to consumers. An IBO who sponsors/registers other IBOs earns income based on his own sales and on sales made by his downline IBOs. IBOs cannot receive income based on sales by downline IBOs without meeting specified retail selling requirements each month.
No “headhunting fee.” An IBO is never compensated for merely sponsoring another IBO.
No purchase requirements. There are absolutely no minimum product purchases that an IBO must make.
Buyback rights. If an IBO wishes to discontinue his business, any currently marketable and unused inventory will be bought back, upon request, by either the sponsoring IBO or Quixtar.
The Michigan Attorney General, in fact, clearly delineates that the plan upon which Quixtar’s is based is legal. Additionally, this plan has been cited in many Federal and State courts and agencies as the legal and viable way to operate a business with a tiered compensation plan.
With Quixtar, you can feel confident that you’re partnering with a credible, successful business organization. "

Out of the loop. I'm back

I haven't been a member of Quixtar for a long time now (roughly 3 months).
To be honest with you, while I never created any serious profit from this venture, I can understand why it's such a cool thing to be a part of. To be honest I actually miss it. It was the whole idea of hope and determination and drive to succeed. Above all else it taught me that success is truly out there, perhaps even around the next corner. It's really all about the mindset of succeeding. I came out of the experience with the mindset and the drive to make sure that in the near future I will be successful. Who knows, Quixtar is changing its ways and improving on itself now. I never said I would swear it off forever. I may be drawn back to it in the future.

The Beggining

There are so many skeptical people out there.
This is Thomas here, creating the very first of what i hope to be many entries on my personal journey through the Quixtar corportation. Quixtar, known by many people, seems to have a marred reputation, often times viewed as "just another scam" or a "Pyramid scheme."

I love the idea of Entrepreneurism. I go forth and create something on my own accord, on my own time. What I can put in is what I can get out. But while the idea of owning your own business is a wonderful idea, there are so many get rich quick schemes and catchy but ultimately fallacious "roads to success" that finding something thats actually useful is more challenging than any other single part of the process.

Truth: I want my own business.

Just over a week and a half ago i was approached by a Quixtar representative. He had a lot of good things to say. We connected on many levels about individual business ownership. What he had to offer seemed too good to be true.

I was not going to be sold that easily. Could this just be another more elaborate way to trick me out of my hard earned money?
