Why Do We Speak Out?

Quixtar advocates often frown upon us that speak out against there business. They wonder why we spend so much of our time speaking out and think we should just move on. They believe we are just trying to steal there dreams. Well this is just not the case. We aren't the crab in the bucket trying to pull the other one down. The reason we speak out is when after you've seen so many people, friends, and family mentally and financially hurt because of the business that we feel we need to do something to stop this. Could you honestly sit back and do nothing when you see your best friends life get tore down as I have watched happen to my best friend. The group we were in didn't teach him to only spend what he could. No they taught him to spend everything he had, to not pay his bills to get to that next seminar. They told him not to worry that he wasn't getting any results yet that they will come. And what happened is that eventually he had no money left. This brought his self esteem and everything to rock bottom. Then I look around and see that my friend isn't the only one that this is happening to. Its happening to a majority of the people I knew in the business. Now can you honestly say that I should just turn my head and pretend that there is nothing wrong and just move on? The founding fathers of the United States gave us the right of free speaks for situations like this. That way even the little guy can have a way to stand up for himself.

A Favorite Quote

I don't remember where I got this but I think its a good one to ponder.

"Do we have the power to shape our lives, or are we predestined to be who we are? If our Fate is but one amongst many, then whose life, if anyone's, is real? If our lives are indeed the sum-total of the choices we've made, then we cannot change who we are. But with every new choice we're given, we can change who we're going to be. "

Training? What's that?

Things have changes a lot around here at my place. My room mate no longer really does anything with quixtar. He had to stop because he ran out of money. The business ran him into the ground financially. But he still thinks its the greatest business in the world. In all the tapes and books and seminars he went to and bought, they never taught him how to manage money with his business. How can he get so much training material and go to so many seminars and not learn one of the most basic things about business. Oh wait there is no training its all motivation. So why not motivate people to learn how to run a proper business? I can learn more about running a business through searching on the internet for a few hours then I can being on the system for a year. You know I would like the business a lot better if I felt I was actually getting some training on how to run a business. But hey maybe I'm missing something.
