"The ABC's of Making Money" Recommends YTB.

After reviewing and analyzing thousands of business opportunities around the world, we have found only 2 companies that score 15 out of 15 on our scale.

Since making this recommendation we have been inundated by companies touting their wealth building ideas. Unfortunately, none has measured up on our scale.

We are now able to recommend a second, and in our opinion, even better opportunity.  YTB a solidly based eight -year old company.

Ask Candee
Your Personal Consultant Candee Wilde answers questions about the franchise business.

Q.  In these rocky financial times, is it wise to purchase a franchise in the travel industry?

A. There are few barriers to entry, in terms of cost or past experience, and even when people are tightening their belts, they continue to take vacations.

Travel is a solid industry, and the cruise business in particular just continues to grow. An investment in travel can be lucrative and, not to be underestimated, fun.

YTB's Kim Sorensen named One of the Most Influential People in the Travel Industry

         

 November 28, 2007: 02:48 PM EST

YTB International, Inc. a leading provider of Internet-based travel booking servicesfor travel agencies and home-based independent representatives in the United States, today announced that its President (President/CEO of subsidiary YTB Travel Network), J. Kim Sorensen, has been named one of the most influential people in the travel industry by Travel Weekly.

YTB joins a list that also includes
names like MGM Mirage, Virgin Atlantic
Airways, TripAdvisor, Walt Disney Parks
and Resorts, PricewaterhouseCoopers,
and the Federal Aviation Administration.

According to Travel Weekly, Mr. Sorensen, "
... went, in a matter of weeks, from a
virtual unknown in the industry to its
favorite target for vitriol (from traditional
travel agents and some suppliers) or
admiration (from his tens of thousands
of referring agents and, behind closed
doors, some suppliers). He has
demonstrated some grace under fire,
admitting this organization is still
maturing, and we suspect that he and
YTB will be around for many years,
forcing all parties to examine what
constitutes a legitimate seller
of travel
and challenging suppliers to assess how,
and with whom, they wish to do business."

BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU

Keep in mind when reviewing the
article posted above that YTB has
over 135,000 RTA's and is on pace
to book close to a "BILLION" dollars
worth of travel this year alone. For
a company of this size to have
fewer than 100 issues in 3 years
with the public at large is unheard of!

Orbitz with over 1600 complaints!
Travelocity with over 1500 and
Priceline
with over 1300.

Hats off to YTB's customer
service department!

Way to Go YTB!

Legal Action

Have you ever heard of a company, that has never had a bad word spoken about them? Let me use an example of one company that you all know about and have heard about.

Before I tell you the name of this company let me ask you a questions.

Would you invest or buy stock in a company that has:

  • Been sued so many times, can't be counted.
  • Thousands if not millions of unhappy customers around the world.
  • If you were to ask 8 out of 10 people about this company they will tell you that they have had a numerous bad experience with their product at least on a daily basis.
  • More bad press then any company has ever had in history.
  • In trouble with the department of Justice and local state agency for anti-trust in the past years.
  • If you search Google and search for their name + lawsuit your will find 26,900 websites about this company.
  • In trouble with the FTC numerous times.
  • Paid millions of dollars in fines of the years.
  • Numerous class-action lawsuit currently in supreme courts.
  • History of releasing bad products, before they have been tested properly. Oh, by the way I should also tell you that this company has over 80% of the market share in their category.
  • Their stock price has been up and down over the years.
  • Have also lost millions of customers over the years.

I know what most of you are thinking, I would not only never use their product or service, but also would never buy their stock.

Right?

And, if you said NO, NO, NO. Then you would have missed out on one of the best producing companies in history.

And most of you should just stop using your computer because the company I have been talking about is: Microsoft.

My point is:

That if you are looking for bad news about any company you will find it. If people are not talking about a company, the company is most likely not growing or doing anything.

People love bad news, bad news sells.


It took Microsoft over 15 years to hit
1 Billion in sales annually.

YTB is about to do it in 8.

TheYTB
Opportunity



Trend One: YTB

Travel is an industry that is just realizing its remarkable potential in the marketplace. The industry pulls approximately $1.3 trillion annually in the U.S. alone and almost $7 trillion worldwide, making it the fastest growing industry in the world. It is growing 23% faster than the global economy. With such growth, a boom is on the horizon. In fact, travel is expected to double to $14 trillion Travel spending alone averages $1.4 billion PER DAY, that is $59 million per hour.



Trend Two:  YTB

Baby boomers worldwide in the next 10 years. In our economy, tourism accounts for almost 11 percent of all consumer spending worldwide. - the generation born between 1946 and 1964 - have a huge effect on trends and opportunity and will have a huge effect on the travel industry. There are nearly one billion baby boomers worldwide and the first of them are turning 60. These 60-year-olds are facing retirement, which occurs at a rate of one person per eight seconds for the next 20 years. And what will these newly retired baby boomers do when they retire? Travel, of course.



Trend Three:  YTB

The internet - Every three seconds a new person goes online. Consumers are already spending billions on the internet, and travel is the fastest-growing segment of that trend. While five years ago, people primarily made small purchases only, today people have become comfortable buying things such as cars, homes, and of course travel, online. Consumers use the Internet to become better informed, save time, and save money and booking of travel online is perhaps the most successful niche of all the worlds  e-commerce efforts. Use of the Internet to book travel continues to increase, with more than 80 million Americans booking online travel each year. The majority (83%) of online consumers are using the Internet to do at least half of all their travel booking.



Trend Four:  YTB

Small and home-based businesses are the fastest-growing segments of the U.S. economy. Home-Based travel sellers are the fastest-growing segment of the travel agency community. Statistics say that 74% of all individuals who have acquired huge wealth, have done it by being self-employed business owners. When surveyed, 96% of people between the ages of 25 and 44 said they wanted to have their own business, but they just didn't  know how to get started! With large and mid-sized companies downsizing and outsourcing, corporate America offers little promise for job security. That's why people are turning to home-based businesses as a high performance vehicle that can take them into the future along with big time earnings and tax advantages.

If I had to do it all over again, rather
than build an old style type of business,
I would have started building a
network marketing business.
-Robert Kiyosaki


The Tax Code of the United States provides many vehicles for people to save on their taxes. Most of these vehicles are available to anyone but it is the rich who usually look for them and use them because they have learned to "mind their own business." For example an individual can utilize the tax advantages and protection provided by a corporation to get rich much faster than someone who is an employee or a small-business sole proprietor.

Find out the secret that the Rich know abd the poor and middle class do not.





The Cashflow Quadrant


      

The letters in each quadrant represent:

              E   for employee
              S   for self-employed
              B   for business owner
              I    for investor




WHICH QUADRANT DO YOU GENERATE
YOUR INCOME FROM?

The CASHFLOW Quadrant represents the different methods by which income or money is generated. For example, an employee earns money by holding a job and working for someone else or a company. Self-employed people earn money working for themselves. A business owner owns a business that generates money, and investors earn money from their various investments-in other words, money generating more money.

While money is all the same, the way it is earned can be vastly different. If you begin to look at the four different labels for each quadrant, you might want to ask yourself, "Which quadrant do you generate the majority of your income from?"

This is the chart from Robert Kiyosaki's book "Cash Flow Quadrant". 80% of all the people in a world are in left side of group called "Employ" & "Self Employ". 20% of all the people in a world are in right side group called "Business Owner" & "Investor".
But these 20% of people have 95% of all the wealth in a world. 80% of people only have 5% of wealth in a world. Why is it happening? Why Business Owners and Investors have 95% percent of wealth in a world since they are only 20% of small group? Because of their financial plan rich people's way of earning income is way different than what most of people's way of making their income.

Employ and Self Employ's income is 100% rely on their time. Their income is very limited because they make money only when they use their own time to work. If they don't work, they don't get any income. But as we all know, human can have only 24hours a day.

Business owner's and investor's income doesn't require exchanging their time with money. They have a system and the system makes money for them even if they are not at work place. That's why they can make more money than what others are making because their income is not limited by time or limited by location.

If you want to get exact same type of income of business owners and investors then you should start this business right now. Because this business will give you exact same leverage effect of what business owners and investors have.
