You, not so much. Reading and posting on the internet, and listening to Coach’s Call so you can spend your Saturday afternoon coming up with excuses and justification for your existence can hardly compare to what I’ve done in YTB Travel Network the last 4 years.

HUGE difference there Bud.

As far as the compensation goes, you can be amused or worry about it all you want. I do wonder why you of all people, with no desire to get paid from this type of plan would need to spend so much time with YTB in the first place. Instead, I’d be grateful, just like I am. Worry to me is a waste of time and energy, and the checks come with or without the worry or complete understanding of how the comp plan works. Worry is an unnecessary emotion in YTB’s case, so I simply choose not to participate in the activity.

Amusement on the other hand, I like. However, our ideas of amusement are vastly different in both time and definition.

Now if you don’t mind, I’d like to get back to my day without fear, without worry, and without the negativity, spin, and mud slinging.

It’s a much simpler, and far more productive than what I’ve seen you choose to do with your day.

An amusing point to your blog post today is how you feel that KISS is the way to go. Why not look at your compensation plan, and mine and see whose is more simple? I sell travel, write a column, or do some consulting and I get a commission, a check on a per word basis, or as negotiated in a contract. Pretty simple. I am not dependent on people that I recruit to do better and having to worry if I have a multiple of 6 beneath me to earn a certain level, and so forth. But then again, my compensation is not guaranteed like yours is and I a not protected by a Bill of Rights!
