Terry and Linda Felber came from very different backgrounds. Terry grew up in a positive “you can do it” environment. His father was a self-made millionaire. Linda grew up in a low-income situation. But when they met, they quickly became best of friends and found that they shared a common vision of freedom.
After getting married, the Felbers embarked on numerous different business ventures, one after another. Both of them worked hard, but they found themselves more and more tied down by their businesses. They had simply bought themselves “another job”. So Terry and Linda kept looking.
When they were approached with the Quixtar opportunity, like many other people, they had misconceptions about a business of this type. So they fended off their friend until finally, in December, he showed up unannounced and said, “Sit down and be quiet!”
Terry looked out the window in dismay as his friend drew out the marketing plan. He managed, however, to hear something different than he was expecting, and he became very excited. The magic words to Terry were “We have people that will help you”.
Terry started showing the plan six and seven nights a week. Linda was quite negative about getting involved in “another deal,” but she supported Terry despite her disbelief. As Terry puts it “Linda was against the business but for me”.
The Felbers grew quickly in their business and were able to improve their financial situation in a short time. When Terry and Linda decided that their two teenage girls, Lia and Kristi, and their four-year-old boy, David, needed a more conservative small-town environment. They had the freedom to live anywhere they wished because of their business, so they moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The Felbers continue to actively build their business. They count Quixtar as a double blessing. Not only has it provided them with the freedom they were seeking, but also it offers them a vehicle where they can touch thousands of people’s lives in an uplifting way.
Recently Terry’s first book on communication skills was published. In it he shares the secrets of the world’s greatest communicators, equipping readers to do everything from participating in a meaningful conversation to successfully consummating a business discussion. Through ten essential skills he shows readers how to achieve real communication. Sharing what he has learned is another way of being able to help others.
When their children would ask about their success, Terry and Linda would reply, “we are richly blessed”.
