We made $55 on our first sale! We sell radio control airplanes, jets, gliders, blimps, helicopters, radios, servos, batteries, chargers, parts and accessories on our dropshipping website rcplanesandcopters.com. Our coaches encouraged us to go into this niche because the demand and competition numbers looked great. Nate has brought continuity and evident concern to our coaching. He truly seems to want us to succeed and has been willing to make the extra effort to assist us. We have confidence in Nate and I would suggest him as the model for coaches, if your primary goal is client satisfaction.

$2000 Profit Within A Few Short Weeks!
Just wanted to say how impressed I have been with the Thrive program especially from the coaching staff. They have been very quick to respond to my questions concerning my Internet business within a few short weeks my team has helped me generate over $2000 in profit which is continuing to grow at a steadily increasing rate. I would not have been able to achieve this without the guidance of the personal one-on-one coaching I have received through the Thrive program. I highly endorse this program to anyone that is serious about putting in the effort in making a successful online business, the thrive program can help you achieve limitless goals. Thanks Thrive and coach members you guys are awesome!

Time and Patience
All the coaches are great! One in particular, Daniel, is always available through chat or email to help me when I need it. He gives me honest feedback. Sometimes it's not what I want to hear, but at least I can trust his opinion and advice. Other than that, I am pleased with the level of professionalism and help. Being persistent was this biggest accomplishment for me. Sometimes when things are too hard or frustrating, I have a tendency to procrastinate or give up. But through this process, I have learned that if I just keep at it, I will learn what I need to know to make this work. Giving up is not an option for me. I am working on my second website. It took 4 months to do the first one, 4 weeks to complete the second one. So, you can see, it gets easier because of the new knowledge you have. My advice to future students: Patience, patience, patience! It takes time to get a website up and running. Then it takes time to market it. But most importantly, pick the right product and a supplier that will communicate with you one-on-one and who will keep you informed on the inventory.

Future Success!
I already had some knowledge about building websites, but not eCommerce. I can say the coaches helped me in regards to the needs of having all the pages keyword optimized for the search engines. I could see coaches were really committed to help and they really did. I feel my site doesn't show all the time I invested in it, yet I have a sense of accomplishment, and I'm eager and excited to start the marketing so I can finally start seeing the return on my investment, which of course is why I joined this coaching program in the first place. I also feel I learned a lot about drop shipping and that it might be very interesting in the future if this project turns to be a success.

Love This Program!
I have felt supported by my coach. He is good at listening, and has also always had good insight and input into my issues.
I have overcome feelings that I have no control over my environment. Although it's a difficult one that I live in, I have seen that a change in myself has had positive effects on the person I live with; making some situations go much easier.
My biggest success has been the things that I learned in some of the videos. I found real tools that I could use, e.g. anchoring. I found that the step-by-step process was very positive towards replacing old ways with new.
I can attest that this is a very good course, with educated, positive coaches. There is help when needed; by phone or by email. The lessons are well thought out and positive!

IT WILL PAY OFF!
My coach has helped my by emphasizing the importance of research and listing techniques. Some of the challenges I have encountered have been trying to figure out how to ship to Canada and the Virgin Islands. My advice to you is to pay attention to the lessons presented by your coach and review them often. It will pay off!

EXCELLENT
Jarrett has been an excellent life coach. He has all the characteristics and structure that I believe a good teacher needs. He is organized, punctual, professional, and always prepared for our coaching sessions. He is extremely knowledgeable in personal development but very easy to talk with and able to adjust his recommendations "on the fly" as we had questions and issues. The program itself is well designed and very inclusive, but Jarrett's guidance, personal encouragement and interest in our goals made it personal and increased our commitment to the process of personal development. He coached both of us at the same time and met our individual needs as well as helping us focus on our common goals. He's a great coach!! We've overcome some limiting beliefs related to our ability to develop and sustain a profitable online business. Ken is making significant progress in improving his focus and time management in the home based business. We've both improved our focus and commitment to improved health and fitness. The skills Jarrett taught us and the regular encouragement he gave us has helped significantly and has given us the roadmap to continue growing in these "solutions needed" areas. We have developed a mission statement and life plan that fits our greatest personal and financial goals. Commit yourself to being open-minded and diligent in doing the personal development program and exercises. Listen to your coach and be willing to share your true beliefs and fears with him. He really can help you.

SO GRATEFUL
Jarrett is open and warm, receptive, positive and a real genuine person.. He has made me look deeper into myself and my limiting beliefs. Jarrett is very talented, energetic and a real inspiration for me. He is real. Jarrett has helped me to recognize multiple limiting beliefs, which I still strive to dispel.
Gratefulness... my daily grateful diary... remembering to be thankful for even the tiniest thing... I will keep my diary moving forward.......
My advice to you is Go for it... the coaching is great... But you have to put your heart and soul into it...
It takes courage and commitment to move forward... it is not easy but it is an eye opener.....

Something New Everyday
Everyday you learn something new as to how to enhance the web site and how to bring in traffic to your website. Ben (my coach) has been great in providing the correct pointers to get me started. He also provides positive feedback to help me to the creating the site pretty fast. I strongly believe it is just a matter of time before the cash starts flowing in. Trying to come up with the title for the website was the biggest hurdle. Taking the time to fit in the busy daily life and maintaining balance in life is always challenging. I would suggest to listen to your coach and pay close attention to his/her suggestions. The coach wants you to succeed and I highly recommend not to take anything personal. Learn to experiment with the information on your website and do not worry about making mistakes (Your coach is there to correct you if they really are errors). Maintaining discipline definitely produces results in the long run.

Great from day one!
The coaching was great from day one. Jarrett (my coach) was wonderful. He always had words of encouragement and took the time to listen to what I had to say. He pretty much had answers to any question I would throw in his way. He constantly re-iterated and tried to find out if there was anything I wanted to achieve. Overall I would say it was a wonderful experience and it helped me identify things that I want to achieve that were lurking inside my mind. Practicing meditation is a big obstacle that I have overcome. As a matter of fact I am enjoying it now! Spending time alone and finish assignments was definitely challenging. Glad I got it done now. The biggest success I would claim is that I have identified the things that I need to accomplish. I am still in the process of fulfilling the things I wish to accomplish. It is a long journey and will definitely take time and effort on my part. This coaching is definitely worth it. It takes patience and dedication to get the assignments completed. If you have any questions, definitely ask your coach and he/she is there to help you. If you are facing any obstacles do not hesitate to inform your coach and last but not least do not be shy in asking what you want to achieve. It's your life, and so do not hesitate to live it the way you want :-)
VERY PLEASED
When I started I didn't have clue as to how to create a website. I am very pleased with the results.The coaches were very patient with me and helped me every step of the way. The first main obstacle I had was creating the logo part of my site. I don't have any graphic art experience and had to learn from scratch. Once I started creating the store things moved along more quickly. The next obstacle was understanding the meta tags and keywords. The coaches helped me through this process also. Don't give up. When you get frustrated take a break. I found after taking a break and coming back with a fresh perspective helped me get past the difficult spots. You will be pleased with what you are able to accomplish.

Very Helpful and Patient
It has been a very long and more time consuming than I ever thought, but Ben was very helpful and patient, and made sure that I did everything correctly. The biggest obstacle was understanding the parts of a website and how too load all that info. It took a while for me just to create the ad copy and then key it in. Ben looked over my ad copy to make sure it was quality before he would approve it.
It feels good to look at what I had created. I couldn't have done it without Ben and my team. To all future students, your coaches know what they are talking about, so listen to them and do what they say. If you are not serious about this venture, you better be serious about it, because your coaches are serious about making you successful.

Very Helpful
My coach has helped guide me through all the basic steps in selling a product on eBay and also with improving my feed back. All of which has been very helpful to me. So far I have been able to see how to do research on a product first which has made it much easier to choose a product to sell. For someone like me that doesn't have a lot of internet experience, it took a little bit of time to get everything figured out, but it was worth every minute of my time!

They are right there next to you
With my first 2 sales on eBay I have made a good profit of $140. John has been there from the beginning walking me through how to search, to look for listings, find what listing to list under and how to leave good feedback. Basically how eBay works. My biggest obstacle has been the fear of selling something over the internet. My advice to future students is to be prepared to learn a lot of new terms and information if you are not already there to get into internet selling as a business.

They really know what they are talking about...
My coach has been very helpful, and polite at all times. He always called or had someone else call in his place on the day and time we had scheduled.
Choose small items to sell on your Web Site, so that freight can be affordable. It doesn't matter what you sell, as long as it qualifies under the criteria set forth by your coach. Listen to your coaches. They really know what they are talking about. Keep moving forward. It will be worth it!

Truly Outstanding
I am very confident in the abilities of all those who coached me.There were actually quite a few who helped me and some who were truly outstanding. My first coaches were Joshua and Ryan,and they were both very easy to talk to and both were great when it came to answering my many questions.My two most recent coaches were Andrew and Erika . Andrew is very much oriented to the technical minute that can make or break a site,but is also very human,and not above calling a student personally to make sure they got a concept or task correct. Erika also demonstrated great insight into people and their motivations and desires. I used several of the insights she shared with me on my site. Most of the obstacles I encountered were of a technical nature, such as adding links and repairing some of the pages on my site.Sparkbuilder is a great builder,but they need live chat to answer some of the Questions specific to the builder. Just getting a site that is mine on the internet was an enormous success. Making money with that same site would, however, would also be extremely cool. Work hard and listen to your coaches, they know what they are talking about.

Very Satisfied!
I am very satisfied with Andrews help this evening. Andrew took the time to explain to me how and what I needed to do to to get past the point where I was stuck. I think my experience talking with Andrew this evening has been my biggest success this far because it was the most difficult step for me to this point. Listen to your coach and try to follow directions as closely as possible - ask the right questions.

I am Proud
I thought it was very rewarding learning how to build my own website. I am pleased to say that I am proud of the site myself. The coaches were instrumental in putting it all together with the help of Tech support. There were only a few obstacles to overcome such as nailing down just the right drop shipper, and feeling comfortable with the builder, but even these weren't that bad. Once you begin, devote at least 2-3 hrs/day to your site completion. If you miss a day then make up for it by doing 3-5 hrs the next day. You have to have your site up before you are moved to the reactive phase. There are just to many questions you'll have for "live chat" to be effective.

VERY HELPFUL
The coaches were very helpful. I knew NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING at the beginning of the project - as a result it took me forever to do little steps - at times i found it overwhelming and doubted my decision to work on this. I'm still way behind where i know i should be but each step the coaches were very patient and helped me baby step through it. Learning how to change picture size was a stress to figure out (shows how much i knew)
Time is a problem for us - we don't have all day to donate to the project and some weeks we don't have any time, so I've tried to work at weird hours to just get at it... the new set up is much improved and much easier to self-teach. I feel that if i can figure this out, anyone can - not that I'm done yet or anything! just getting going on the marketing phase next.....

Help and Patience
I had no experience whatsoever when I decided to start on online business, but with the help and patience of the coaches and support team, I have a website I can be proud of and the knowledge to do it again. Thanks so much to you. Starting my own business was scary, with many unknowns, but with the encouragement of the Team, I can now see what success looks like. Stay in close contact with your coach and the support team. If you tell the representatives of any problems you are having, they will help provide solutions. If you don't tell them, the can't help. Communication is the key.

Very Rewarding Experience
Very rewarding experience.With the help and patience of my coaches,I created something of which I am very proud.I am the owner and inventor of a very slick-looking website. The coaches were great,offering insight and encouragement all the time. They goaded me into accomplishing something better than I thought possible and even called me personally when it was needed. The main obstacle I overcame was my lack of computer knowledge.I also learned a great deal about e-mailing back and forth.For myself, these were major obstacles. My advice to future students would be to listen to their coaches and don't be afraid to ask questions, even if they feel dumb when asking them. Never, ever did any of my coaches ever speak down to me or ask why I did not know what I was doing .

Equal to College Education
All of the tutorials and the written information are equal to getting a college education in eBay. There is so much information I'm having go back over all of it multiple times to get it all. My Coach Tyson is making sure I'm understanding what I'm learning and getting the actual steps done on eBay. For me so far, every thing I've learned has been an obstacle overcome. I really didn't know anything about E-bay two weeks ago and honestly didn't care. I've heard many stories of people making money on E-bay but I didn't see it as being something I wanted to pursue. Now two short weeks later I'm selling and buying stuff. I admit it's not rocket science but I wouldn't have done it without taking this course and applying the information I've learned. For which I am very thankful. JUST DO IT. The tutorials and the written information and the fact that you have a person to take you by the hand and get you through it, you can't fail. The only option you have if you take the action is to succeed. It's fun, I've bought one thing on eBay years ago and never really looked at eBay again until I started this course. I'm having fun learning what to do and how to do it. It is so much better to have someone teach what to do than it is to figure it out on your own. I'm planning on spending a lot of time selling on eBay. I've got many more personal things to sell and Tyson has shown me drop shipping sites to find more things to sell. It has been a very good experience to learn how to sell correctly.

Nothing but Positive
Without them pointing me in the right direction I would not have even known where or how to start. They allowed me to view their ads to get a better idea of how to make mine better. They told me where to look for what I need each week to continue. The biggest obstacle of all for me is fear. Not knowing how to do something and therefore doing nothing!!! With the help of my coaches I know I can do this. Just go for it!! The coaches and the material you get with the program make it easier and fun to learn how to build your business. Pay attention, take notes and follow instructions and you can do it. So far my experience has been nothing but positive. I am excited to continue each day knowing if I have any questions or problems I have some one to ask that will have the answers that will really help

Great Coaching!!!
Great coaching. Reviews my things quickly and gives positive feedback on what I have done right and suggestions on what I should fix and work on in future ads. Learning what keywords to use when selling an item and how to put the ads together to make them organized and effective. Stick with it. It gets frustrating at times, but will be worth all of your time and effort. Great so far. Some of the editing of my items should be a little easier but overall very good.

Very Helpful
He has given us encouragement and advice by helping us through the program. His advice and help has been very helpful. The process of selling on eBay is not as difficult as it appears at first. With practice and experience you can be successful. The obstacles I have have been learning the listing process, the shipping and service processes and using PayPal for handling payments. Invoicing and just running a business have been challenging but are being managed at this point. With experience we will be able to increase our volume and our income while keeping excellent customer service. Practice, practice, practice. Keep listing items and going through all of the processes. You will get better at it and it will become automatic after awhile. Also you will later learn how to make some of the processes more automatic through other computer programs and more advanced techniques. I think it has been a very positive experience so far. It appears that with the right motivation and work you can make a good living at this.

If I can, anyone can!
Lots & lots of information was given to me my my coach, they made listing suggestions to make them better. He answers a lot of questions, and is very very very encouraging.
Some Of my challenges:
A lot to learn but getting part of it figured out.
Having extremely little experience with eBay, just getting started was difficult.
Learning the system, finding products (did not have a clue before the class), getting the business started (legal), having a disappointed customer to work with and get through, having an alert on a customer -- a little trial by fire.
My advice to you is Go For It!
If I can get this going, anyone can!
Going back to "school" can be a great experience, if it's eBay school.

Very Supportive
Ben is always there to answer any questions I have. He is very supportive and makes great suggestions. Just an example of why it is important to listen to your coach: I listed 14 Hummels individually in auction format, but started the bid way too high. He told me to drop the starting bid to $.99, which I did, and seven days later I had sold all 14, at awesome prices. If I hadn't listened, I'm quite sure they'd still be sitting there! THANK YOU COACH! Again, LISTEN to your coach. They are there to help, and no question seems to dumb to them. If you do what they suggest, you'll very likely succeed. I'm having the time of my life. It is so rewarding, and not just monetarily. It's exciting to watch the bidding, and very exciting when an item sells. I strive to ship the same day it sells, or the very next day. That has helped my feedback. There is still so much to learn, but every day I feel like I've conquered another challenge.

FANTASTIC!!!
I think the coaching is fantastic.I would not be ready to market my site without them.Every coach has given me a different perspective on all the facets of effective web design and marketing.I have not made much yet, but I feel very confident that I will do all right with this.All in all,I am very pleased with the advice of people like Andrew,Erika, Ryan, and Joshua. I have had to rebuild and stock my site a couple of times, but it was dealt with by myself and the coaches.They were always straight up with me whether for good or ill. I have learned so much that I don't know where to begin.My increased knowledge is my biggest success thus far,though making a great deal of money with my site would also be OK. Get ready for some hard work. They was not kidding when he said that there was nothing easy about making money on the internet. Stay focused on tasks at hand and heed the wisdom and experience of your coaches, and you will do fine!

Whatever one believes can be done!
The coaching meets my expectations. I truly feel a part of the team. I feel that everyone that I deal with wants to see me progress successfully and provides positive feedback. I'm sure by the time I complete my website, expectations will have been surpassed. I truly appreciate the efforts of Team 1A and look forward to working through multiple websites together. One challenge for me is feeling isolated and that I had to do too much on my own. I now understand why the program works that way, to make one learn better and retain, but it was a struggle for the first few lessons. It would be good to provide a little more encouragement to future students right off the bat. My biggest success was discovering my niche and creating my website banner. Also, creating the website content and overall mental awareness of how this business works is high on the list as well. The niche and research was the most difficult thus far. My two cents is to stay the course. There will be times when you want to throw in the towel and persistence is key. Whatever one believes can be done!

WONDERFUL
Ben has been wonderful. He calls when he says he will and is very helpful walking me through the process. I am a hands-on type of learner so him walking me through the different areas on E-bay is very helpful. Procrastination. Since I am given a deadline each week I am encouraged to get my homework done in a timely fashion. Knowing I have to pay the money back to start my business is a great incentive to not "drop the ball". Do what your coach tells you to do. As long as you are on the computer each day you might as well make money. I figured I would make a game out of my selling experiences to make the process more exciting. You cannot sit around and then do your homework at the last minute because it is time consuming so you cannot do it at the last minute. When I was asked to get my eBay score up to 10 I decided instead of buying penny items I would buy things that I actually could use, such as books. The ebooks are very inexpensive and they are something you can use if you are a reader. I have a new Wii so I bid on some games that looked like fun. Good luck. Now I gotta go and post some more things for sale. I am so excited now that I made my first sale. In the situation I am in I need to work from home as I am caring for my elderly parents plus running a cattle ranch with my brother. As most know ranching isn't the most profitable business these days so I need to have an income above the ranching. Working from home was really my only option. I am ready to put several more items up for bid.

It's SO worth it!
Getting to the finish was a relief; a lot of long time and effort went into making what I feel is a very beautiful site; without guidance from the coaches and the men and women in Tech Support, we would not have made it. Finding a niche was difficult; maybe we were not open minded enough, but it took longer than expected; getting good suppliers was time consuming also; I feel we are sitting well today, just need to get the sales coming in. hang in there be patient; if it is worth while doing then it will take time; the one thing i like the most is knowing I have learned so much and the site is mine to work, change, add to, or what ever else as I need to in the future

So Encouraging!
He has been so encouraging, so helpful, so patient. I wouldn't be to this point without him, and the other people that have answered my sometimes dumb questions. You just get the feeling that they really do care if you succeed, and are willing to do anything to help. I guess learning to research items to know whether they'll make money has been hard for me. Sometimes I don't have the patience to go slowly . . . I want to jump ahead without doing all the "grunt work" first. But I know that if I want to succeed, those steps are all necessary. The more time you spend in preparation of selling, the more successful you will be. Listen to your coach! There's a reason they're coaches. They've been through this process themselves, and they know what they're talking about. Don't get discouraged - hang in there, and you'll see amazing results. I have, and I'm just a beginner, but things are looking SO GOOD right now.
Thank you, Team1A!!!

Really Helpful
My coach Ben has been really helpful on getting back to me and answering my questions in a timely way. He always has good words of encouragement. I have become more confident with using the computer and the internet. Listen to your coaches and make sure you go through the steps. It is all so new to me, but with the help of my coach and the focus steps I am getting a little more comfortable with the whole program. I am also excited about it all.

BIG HELP
Trent has been a big help in pointing out my weak areas, giving suggestions for improvement, providing print-outs with information, answering my questions and showing me some ways to make my listings stand out. Take time studying the tutorial steps and lessons. Be sure you have a good grasp on them before moving on. Never hesitate to ask questions. The coaches are great about answering them.

Great Help!
Ben was a great help in building our site. He helped (pushed) us step by step as what we should be doing. He was very good to critique our site and give us pointers to make it better. Because of his help we had a good experience building our website. Don't give up. Keep trying and listen to the coaches. Follow the steps as outlined. Write down the help numbers for the lightwave builder. You will need them. Ask questions if you get stuck.

Encouraging
He has kept me motivated and offered encouragement. He also helped guide me through the process of setting up my store. He helped me create a plan for my business. I didn't think I was very good at figuring out how to do things on the computer, but I guess I never really tried that hard. (eBay has made things very user friendly though.) The hardest thing for me was finding the uninterrupted time to focus and do my steps. I have two young children at home. I somehow managed though and I have learned so much along the way. This has given me confidence to try new things. After staying home with children for years, I wondered if I was even capable of doing something like this. It really was not that hard to open a store and start selling on eBay. It's been good so far. It is very easy to figure out, thanks to following the steps provided by Focus Learning Center.

Great Great Experience!!!
I have made $5,139.59 Gross Profit. My coach gave me some tips on suppliers and tips about things that have worked for her and helped in finding the "HOT" product. I have found one (see my gross in the last three days!). My goal is to find more products like that! You will get what you put into this business. Work hard, nothing is free. I have sold Electronics, household items, baby bedding, a variety of things. My experience has been great now that I found a HOT product to sell with a great profit margin!!

Great Cheerleaders!
We have made 1073.36 gross. The coaching staff continues to be our "cheerleaders" always encouraging us, providing the guidance and direction needed for us to be successful. They are a good team and we need to take full advantage of the expertise. I think the hardest thing is to stay focus on the end goal. Everyone want to make money overnight, but few do. It is a business, and it will take time/dedication to achieve success. You have to learn new business rules and how people think when they bid on item on eBay. It's a whole different game. It is not an easy process..there is a lot to learn. Listen to the coaching staff, set short and long term goals and most of all believe that you can be successful and you will be! So far our experience has been positive! We really enjoy building this business together. We invest a lot of time at garage sales and really find joy in discovering a 'gem' that we think will sell on eBay.

YOU ARE AWESOME
My experience in building was both challenging and interesting. My coach was extremely helpful throughout this entire process. He provided me the necessary knowledge and motivation I needed to accomplish my goal. Trent, you are awesome! For me, my main obstacle was just fear. Fear of not knowing what to do and when to do it. There were moments throughout the process where I felt unsure about certain issues, but I would just communicate that to my coach and we would work through them. I would encourage anyone interested in creating their own website to work with Focus. I felt my interests were vested from my personal coach to the technical support team everyone has been nothing short of stellar.
Thank you...all of you.

Very Excited!
I was really nervous about posting a sale on ebay but you made me feel more comfortable and really helped with your critique of my ads. The obstacle I have overcome is fear. Don't let the fear of failure keep you from moving forward. I'm still very excited.

So Patient!
I have just gotten my 1st sale on eBay for a profit of $51. My coach Charity has been good to answer specific questions thoroughly, to my satisfaction, and is quite patient!!! So typical things I have had to overcome so far are just general doubts & figuring out the system. My advice to future students receiving consulting is to follow the coaches instructions!!!! Currently the item I have sold is electronics and I would say my experience with eBay has been excellent so far!

Very Responsive!!!
They have been very responsive to questions. I, on the other hand have not jumped on this opportunity as fast as I had wanted. My things have slowed me down, holidays, birthdays, illness, death, taxes and insurance. As they say, it's been raining cats and dogs. I need a little sunshine to help me regroup. Any way, that being said all have been very responsive. Make the commitment when you are sure to get through your lessons in a timely manner.

VERY KNOWLEDGABLE
I think that with the holidays in the mix I felt behind on all my work. Other than that I feel that all the people I talked to were very professional and very knowledgeable. Any question I had were answered. Complete all task asked of you and apply as soon as you can.

This is what I want!!
I feel that he's on the with the Lesson Plan. He is on point in our conversations. Very mature in his demeanor. I enjoy talking to him on our scheduled day. The only obstacles I have overcome is not getting an idea of eBay Buying & Selling, but now that I am working within eBay I fill more relaxed, and can go anywhere in eBay, visualize the operation(s) of the system. I am Buying and Selling now, and going through the process, it get easier. I have learned a great deal since I've came aboard. Thanks for everything. It's user free, the information, videos, what's more important is, you can go back and review any information you want. Be secure about your future in making money, and decide if this is REALLY what you want to do. Be consistent in putting quality time working on eBay, not just in a blue moon. I would encourage anyone to try your program(s).

Don't Hesitate!
He's been great so far. I was hesitating to list the item because i felt it wouldn't sell, or the description wasn't good enough. Do the assignments, and follow the instructions. They're great. Don't hesitate just work through any laziness. I'm excited thus far and feel it's right up my alley.

Fun and Challenging!!
I do want to thank Chris and others. They are very patient and don't make me feel that I'm stupid. Thanks... If I don't write all instructions down I can go back and practice. I have been able to register with eBay, pay pal and Google.
Be patient. If you are computer savvy you'll be fine. Its fun and challenging.

GREAT COACHING
The coaching has been great so far. They never pressure me as far as deadlines or assignments. They are always there to help. Being new to the internet business, it was a challenge. However, through learning on my own, it came naturally. The coaching staff was very supportive of my ideas and suggestions. Afterwards, they offered their advice on where to go next. The support is always there when needed. No pressure at all when it comes to deadlines. Everyone is different and will go at their own pace. You can never give up. You will encounter bumps on the road; but in return, it can make one stronger. Read the book "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. Do this reading before starting this. Highly recommended.

Amazing Program
Chris has made it clear and simple how to sell on eBay, and the email he sent with tips on how to list was very helpful. Don't worry about making mistakes, its easy to list and get started. Going through all the information in the benchmarks is a lot but you need to know it, so muddle through and then get on to finding a good product to sell.

Great Experience
My coaches taught me how to put in good pictures to sell.
They taught me how to write a good description to sell.
They taught me how to add a border for interest to sell.
My advice for future students is to just keep researching until you can find something to sell that you can make money on. I feel good about selling some stuff, finally. The good thing is that I did learn to sell things though.

LOVING IT!!
My coach kept me motivated. When I started I was absolutely lost. Now I can move around eBay with ease, knowing what to do and if not I know how to get answers. Just keep working at it. It may not come or happen fast. But keep at it, you will succeed. I'm loving it.

Great coaches
My first coach, Kit, was very helpful and easy to get along with.
My second coach, Bryan, has been very helpful with great communication skills, he also has a lot of patience. Don't give up. Take your assignments one at a time if need be. Keep in communication with your coach every week, emails, chats, or phone calls.

Great Ideas!!!
My cost was $122
Sold for $203.71 including the shipping
I got this idea of keywords from the team and without knowing this about keywords, this customer would not have found me. The Team also guided me in the building of the site with a lot of help from tech support. Prior to this whole learning experience I could not cut and paste!
Thank you

Easy to Understand
My Coach was helpful in giving step by step instructions to go forward, and explaining in terms that were easy to understand. I have learned a lot about how eBay works and how to optimize listings. I have learned of how much research goes into the project if you want to succeed. Be ready to put in the hours to set everything in motion the right way. Learn and do not get discouraged. Go at it at your own pace and be weary of scams out there. There is no recipe for overnight success but Thrive will help you through the process, be patient.

Very Impressed!
Set your goals, keep them realistic initially and to make a change in your life your life must change. i.e. instead of sitting in the living room at the end of the day watching TV, get up and work on your business. So far very impressed.
