When I reached international recognition in the 90’s as a fine artist my paintings could be found in innumerable private collections including the residence of Pope John II. Among the 14,000 worldwide collectors of my original paintings I could count three U.S. Presidents, national politicians, European royalty, top entertainment industry celebrities, prominent clergy and leading art aficionados.
By any standard I was considered a prolific artist having painted more than 100,000 original works of art. I had garnered national television appearances and my story was published in leading magazines. I thought my family and I were set for life. We had begun to experience the good life - what many only dream of. But then the very vocation that had given me international acclaim had suddenly threatened to take everything away.
What I didn't realize as I passionately painted away in the studio was that I was slowly poisoning myself with the toxic agents found in paints and artist materials. My immune system crashed and I developed debilitating and permanent allergies that nearly killed me. I tried to adjust but my health disintegrated to the point where I could no longer paint like I once had. My strength had become my weakness and enormous health costs drastically eroded my family nest egg. I was in big trouble. I didn’t know where to turn. But in 2005, by serendipitous fate, I met someone who introduced me to YTB and Coach Tomer. I was cautious at first, but as I became familiar with YTB’s business model and the unique convergence of the travel industry, network marketing and the Internet I discovered a new vocation that enabled me to thrive. Once I made the decision to put the same passion and tireless energy into YTB within six month’s time I had changed my downward spiral into a soaring success and became one of YTB’s fastest growing directors.
I still love making art, but with YTB as my business engine I no longer have to put myself in harm’s way at the studio as I once did. The best part of my strange and wonderful journey is that I have found a business that I love that has no limits and no boundaries - and once again the world is quickly becoming my oyster.
Thank God for Coach Tomer. Thank God for YTB

We are Matthew & Grace Nestler. We have 4 wonderful children. When we were introduced to YTB by Bob & Amy about 8 months ago, we got so excited; we could not sleep. We love to travel, have fun, save money and make money. The CRTA training was our first stop, and it was so impressive! We met so many people having fun, making money and traveling! We knew we could do this business if we followed the system we just plugged in and began showing our friends this great company. The system worked! With commitment, in 8 fast months we became Directors and credit goes to our great team! Team work really does make the dream work! With this incredible company and with travel as our product we can all win. Everyone loves to vacation! Ask yourself, "if you had all the time and money in the world, what would you do"? That's right -- TRAVEL! And we don't have to create or change anyone's buying habits. People you know are already traveling... someone is getting paid for booking it... Why not you?
We would like to thank our entire YTB family. You're the best! We are truly blessed to have found YTB.
YTB has given us hope and opportunity. We're grateful to our God almighty for giving us Scott, Coach Tomer & Kim Sorensen the courage and the vision to create YTB. We give God the glory! Welcome to the team!

Leaving Corporate America to work YTB Has Changed Our Lives!
In November, 2004, Phyllis & I joined YTB. After a successful career in corporate America, Phyllis was able to take early retirement in June, 2005; and in November, 2005, I fired my boss of 17+ years!
YTB is the vehicle which has provided us not only financial freedom but more importantly, the ability to walk in the purpose that God has chosen for our lives. Our ‘WHY?” is to fulfill our outreach ministry, and YTB has opened the doors for us to earn a substantial residual income while serving others.
YTB has also given us quality time with each other, and with our family and loved ones.
It also affords us the ability to travel extensively sharing our ministry objectives and spreading the word about this outstanding, life-changing opportunity with others

When Dave and I looked at YTB three years ago, I knew we were going to be in the travel business. I had been praying for a "real" company with a "fun" product that I could get excited about. It was the right company, the right product and the timing was absolutely perfect.
Like so many people, we were more than concerned about what we were going to do about our retirement. The opportunities for seniors are limited, to say the least. We made a commitment to YTB on day one and vowed we would do whatever needed to be done to make this business happen. My motivation was to take this company to the masses of people unprepared for retirement.
I am quite sure Dave and I hold the distinction of being the oldest directors. We are proof that you don't need to be young or computer-literate to become successful in this business. You just need the vision, the heart and the right company-and a great team!

I was introduced to YTB by Michael Accurso in October 2006, he handed me the Success From Home Magazine and I couldn't believe my eyes..... A guaranteed Income for the Part Time person if they would follow the YTB system, Health, Life, Dental Insurance, Salaries, and a Million $,$$$,$$$.$$ Bonus Carrot for someone who wanted to swing for the fence.
The Red Carpet Home office tour was my first stop, I was lucky enough to meet Coach and Scott Tomer, after the Red Carpet Tour we went to work. One week later, at the next Red Carpet Event I had 5 Leaders that came in for the Event, next week those leaders turned into 25 RTA's, the next week the team turned into 60+ at the Red Carpet events.
In less the 4 months our team promoted me to Director, we never looked back. A special thanks to Kriss Hansen, Ali Yasin, Julie Carter, Kendra, Jack and Skeeter, Bob and Pippy, Mike and Andrea. Dave Colister, Paula, Dan Price, Andy and Maggie, Bob Warren, and the entire YTB family. You're the best! We are truly blessed to have found YTB.
At YTB we are putting a face on the Travel Industry, there was Coffee before Starbucks, Hamburgers before McDonalds and Travel before YTB, we sell vacations and recess get started with YTB NOW! YTB has given us hope and opportunity. We're grateful to our God almighty for giving us Scott, Coach Tomer & Kim Sorensen the courage and the vision to create YTB. We give God the glory, and thanks to the team!

I had been trying to find the right company. My last three networking businesses went bankrupt or simply closed due to unfortunate circumstances. Then a friend introduced me to YTB. I quickly saw that this was something big.
YTB's compensation plan is unique, and it enables us to reap the benefits of our hard work and persistence just by sharing this opportunity with anybody we meet. We went full time with YTB in our first year in the business. It hasn't been easy, but it has definitely been fun and very rewarding!
YTB has become a mission for us. We are here to lead anyone who believes enough in themselves to join in our journey of building the largest Internet travel company on the planet.This is not the end of the story-it is just the beginning of a wonderful journey.

At that time my mind-set was on my continuous development through study and hard work. As time passed, I realized that I was on the opposite side of the equation; I was an employee. During 2003, I met some folks who provided me with the opportunity to change my status and move from being an employee to being an entrepreneur.
Since I began working with YTB, I made the decision to quit my day job and have dedicated myself to the business of helping others realize their dreams. Being a facilitator has been a gratifying experience for me. Transitioning from an employee into a business owner requires faith in your abilities and determination to follow your dreams.

I was introduced to YTB in December of 2005. At first I did not have the time or desire to listen. After all, this was my busy time of the year. For seventeen years I owned a fine jewelry store. The holiday season was the time in the jewelry industry to work hard a get caught up on bills from the dreaded slow summer months. Consequently, I have never been able to enjoy the holiday season because our store was open 7 days a week, 12 hours a day. I kept telling myself next year would be different.
If you own a business, you know what I am talking about. Our income was always over 6 figures and I thought we owned the perfect business. Vacations were always short weekend trips and then back to work on Monday, like most business owners. To leave our store for a week would mean having to close it and then wonder how many sales were lost, or even worse – customers. We hardly ever took a 7 day vacation like most of our friends.
What I did know is that our customers had "disposable income" and all enjoyed traveling. We started to share the YTB business opportunity to our customers and friends and they loved the concept! Now, 1 1/2 years later, our jewelry store is closed! No more 9-5 (or later), no more watching my wife do paper work until midnight, no more employees, and nothing to buy or stock. With YTB, I now have millions in travel related inventory at the click of a button.
On a sadder note, my wife Paula is battling cancer once again. Fortunately, because of YTB we have complete medical coverage, which is something we did not have when we had our own business. The Tomer family have been so supportive and caring. We could not ask for a better company to be involved with.
Now we have the time and freedom to take vacations. We are in the travel business! This holiday season, instead of catching up on bills, we will be able to spend quality time with friends & family!
I tell everyone I come in contact with this....."Show me a publicly traded company, with a Bill of Rights that states that they can never take away what I have built. A company where I do not have to hire employees or have any paper work, while having millions in inventory!"

Ever since I had the opportunity to be introduced to the incredible concept of home-based business ownership and the ability to work from the comfort of my own home I have gotten hooked. Working from home has given me the freedom to enjoy precious family time with my wife and 4 boys without compromising my financial goals.
Home-based business has given me the ultimate use of LEVERAGE as evidenced by the awesome words of J. Paul Getty who said he would rather benefit from 1% of 100 peoples efforts rather than 100% of his own! For me LEVERAGE allows me to benefit in a compounded manner from other peoples efforts (OPE) and other peoples time (OPT). Thanks to this incredible industry I can utilize the skill sets that I have developed over the years in order to build and maintain large sales networks which have moved millions of dollars in goods and services. Dr. Charles King Co-Author of the NEW PROFESSIONALS states that a homebased business represents the new way of creating awesome passive and residual income. The reason that I have chosen the remarkable travel industry is four fold. First the Travel Industry already at 7 trillion per year is set to double in the next 5 years. Secondly, the baby boomer population is starting to retire in record numbers. Combine the fact that the internet is the greatest technological invention of all time along with the above factors as well as the dramatic growth of home based business globally and you can readily see why owning a home-based travel business is a no brainer.
My travel business has afforded me the time and financial freedom to travel when and where I want to. In August 07 I saved over $4000 on my family vacation to the Caribbean and wrote off the total cost upon my return.. A homebased travel business makes perfect sense. Instead of enjoying a few vacation of a lifetime like the average American, owning your own home-based travel business can afford you a lifetime of vacations.
