First of all, two disclaimers: Doug, if you feel this is inappropriate, feel free to move or remove from the boards. I think it is a great opportunity for many of the CFIs and others on the boards, so that's why I'm posting it... but I understand if you don't want it on the site. Secondly, I'm not trying to rip anyone off by posting this, but instead am trying to help all you fellow pilots because I know how difficult times can be regarding finances.
So.....
I wanted to tell you about the business I am involved in, as an independent business owner. My company name is Independent Business Solutions, working in partnership with International Connection. We use a web site called Quixtar.com to do business. Quixtar is basically Wal-Mart and Sam's Club online. It sells wholesale goods from MANY different well-known companies (around 500 in all... Sony, Motorola, Magnavox, Whirlpool, etc.). The thing is, the purpose of the business isn't primarily to sell products. Instead, we try to develop independent business owners through viral marketing. By becoming an independent business owner, you can begin creating your own business teaching new IBOs.
So my income is determined by me, and my company (Independent Business Solutions) is only as good as I make it. It really isn't a business at all, but a business system. Like McDonalds.
As I said, the business is run from http://www.quixtar.com. I just bought a Nautica shave/cologne kit off the site for $40... the same thing was like $75 at Bergners. Our main focus is health and wellness products though. We have a huge line of health products (vitamins, energy drinks, protein bars, etc.).
If you have ever heard of Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad books), he wrote a book called "The Cashflow Quadrant." It explains how there are four types of people... employees, self-employed, business owners, and investors. Through this business, our goal is to develop business owners, not to sell products. The product sell themselves through the owners. We are owning a business system... just like McDonalds, Microsoft, and other such companies.
I have a web site up in my company line. My company is called Independent Business Solutions, and I run it under the International Connection line. The address is http://www.linkic.com, and enter #3458670. On the first page, only a name, phone and e-mail is required. No need to enter your address. I am the only one who gets the e-mail, so if you want in the address line put "Jetcareers username" and I'll know it was you. Spend some time taking a look through the information there, since it does a great job in explaining the company much better than I can in a thread.
If you have any questions, please PM me for my e-mail and/or number. Hope to hear from you! I am very excited about this opportunity, and hope to help more pilots get involved so they don't have to rely on their employers to say how much they are worth. I just met the head of International Connection, Brian Hays, last night at a meeting in the Chicago suburbs at a nice hotel. This guy is making over $1 million a year in this business... that is after doing this for 30 years. With that kind of money, I can buy my own Learjet and write off the expenses on my taxes!
