Default Team of Destiny........Quixtar.....anyone familiar.....

I was just curious as to how many of you have heard of this company. I know that there are many hungry business men/women out there so I wanted to see who knows of it. It is centered around e-commerce and concepts of people like Robert Kiyosaki (author of books like Rich Dad, Poor Dad & Cash Flow Quadrant). Robert Kiyosaki says that 95% of the people control 5% of the wealth and 5% of the people control 95% of the wealth. The reason that 95% of the people in this country only control 5% of the wealth is because they only have so much time to trade for money. TOD is part of the 5% people who control 95% of the wealth. Residual Income is why it is part of the 5% thinkers. Orin Woodward is the founder. Orin founded it about 5yrs ago and is registered with the BBB. If anyone is interested in checking this out you can see more information on it at www.teamofdestiny.com , click on Guest and use the password 3686112.

"Multi-level" marketing business model....seen, not done it.

Only good when you're one of the first few to get in on the gig.

Oh GOD! Someone please DUMP this thread!!

Timmy... we all appreciate your efforts to add a few to your personal team (aka- enterprize, as they call it...)... And I'm sure that it is wonderful being able to "Order everything you need... detergent, shirts, cat food... ALL FROM YOUR OWN BUSINESS!!"...

But this is no different then illegally posting threads to promote your Autoparts dealership.

And don't worry, I speak from experience... I know dozens of people who were sucked in the the prospect of being "free"... (including myself, with my sig. other).
......BUT here is the sad fact: ONE, and ONE only makes a decent living off of it... BUT they quit their job and had to do it full time... living off of their husband... for over 2 years before it became ancillary income! She had to sink herself to the lowest level of scrounge salesman to do so. She basically alienated EVERYONE she knew, because they knew that EVERYTIME she called... it was only going to be another SALES PITCH! She ruined her life and lost contact with her adolecent children because she was gone 2weeks out of every month for some massive seminar or convention, in an attempt to build her business... Basically she turned off those closest to her because of the close resemblence to cult-like methodologies. The other couple dozen I knew... simply contributed to her success, but failed in their own right.

You'll realize one day... that those already successful within the business... will only become MORE successful. Because ONLY 10% of the "New Business Parnters" actually even make it far enough to make what it costs "to buy your share of the company" back... The other 90% paying $500 bucks or whatever it is... simply pay for the rich to get richer...

sad... go troll your dreams somewhere else...

(sorry... rant)

Tim... you may state that "you are not here to pitch or recruit anyone", but if you are an intelligent guy... you'd realize (if this was not intended originally) that negative publicity is still publicity... I'd hate to think that you are naive enough to assume that no benifit, in your favor, would occur if you posted a thread of such a topic...

you don't have to stick with T&A... just don't try to personally benifit from our common ground.

As for "not being a visionary"... I'm 26, I own my own business... which is a summer time (off-season) gig. In my previous career (sports med), I created a new position within my corporation *(which was the #4 fastest growing Co. in the world) and went from PT to Director of External Specialty sale within 2 years of starting. My boss was the VP of the company. I eventually realized that I did not need the company to maintain my endeavors, and resigned... taking my contracts with me. The company has been knocking on my door for 3 months now, offering me External Brokerage contracts and shares. Allowing me to sit back and make money from their products... all while workin on the S. So in the meantime, I continue to provide sports Med, and Athletic Training services for 4 prof. athletes during their off-season in the summer... and work in mortgaging during the winter... which again... is a visionary tactic. (I intend to pursue rental properties in the future... but want a full understanding of the business)...

So who's the true visionary... the one that has to piggy-back off of an already established pyriamid... busting his ass to mislead others into believing they too will be as successful as him...

...or...

someone who's made the most of his surroundings, while always working to benifit those around him...


Hey, go ahead and advertise your company.... see how it works, and update me later!
