I had a relative of mine invite me to one of their Quixtar meetings
and it was disturbing to say the least. There was a false feeling of
euphoria among the group and everyone was talking about how successful
they're are all going to become and how great the company was. I felt
as if I was in a cult setting with a group of brainwashed converts.
Man, it's a pyramid scheme and a pretty basic one at that. It's
amazing that Quixtar is able to still pull as many people as they do.
Why do you think that Quixtar makes most of their money up front off
the tapes and dvds instead of precentages off actual sales? They know
most people won't be there in a year so they will "milk" them early.
If your boyfriend is an entrenched as you make him sound the really
only thing to do is to stand by his side and be there for him when he
fails in this venture. Nothing you can say now is going to make a
difference. Any opposition is going to be viewed as disrespect or
non-support and will only make him upset. It might be hard to stand by
and watch but sometimes that's the only way some people will learn.
They will always believe that they are going to do things differently
from those before them and that will be the the one to make money.
They believe that right up to the point when reality hits and it's too
late. Their bridges may be burned and the money is definetly gone.
Good luck.
