Success From Home magazine is now on newsstands and now available through Quixtar.  On newsstands you can pay $5.95 for a single issue and determine if it's something you want to use.  From Quixtar you can get 10-packs for $36.60, which is at-cost pricing. Why a 10-pack? This is not meant as a vanity piece for IBOs to be affirmed ...

This weekend I'm off to Canada to attend the wedding of my oldest nephew, Dan, to Carling. I'm looking forward to it because it will be the first time I've seen my dad and brothers and sister in more than a year.  Also, it's always cool to see two young people starting their life together. The wedding will take place in ...

We've started work with the editor at Success From Home for the Quixtar feature that will appear in the December issue (on newsstands Nov. 1).  If you're not aware of the magazine, it's basically a publication that focuses on a different direct selling company each month, sharing with prospects what these business opportunities ...

New Platinum Conference was this week and tons of IBOs were in town to participate in the business learning and recognition. I was at an expo we held on Monday night (yes, three hours standing on my achy knee) sharing info about the many reputation programs we've launched and are working on. One of the things that struck me, as it has the ...

We've ...

This week is quiet at Quixtar, as many staff are gone with their kids for Spring Break. Here in West Michigan, all the K-12 programs are on break. My family didn't plan a getaway this year and, frankly, the weather has been so nice the past couple weeks, it didn't really seem like one would be necessary. It took a turn for the nasty ...

FINALLY!  I am so thrilled to have a new blog space to work with that will provide all of you the opportunity to dialog here at the REAL Quixtar Blog.  It's been a long time coming, as has RSS.  All of that is with special thanks to the IT team who made it happen.  Right now I'm at Achievers Invitational in Orlando at ...

Lots of people here are gearing up for a busy season of events.  We have two separate New Platinum Conferences coming to GR this summer, as well as the Quixtar Connections event that will feature Amway founder Rich DeVos.  Anytime Rich speaks, it's a treat for Quixtar IBOs and employees.  I'm looking forward to the event, ...
