Melanie Stikes Gold With Thrive Learning Institute

Hi Kit,

I just wanted to thank you and the other coaches for taking the time to work with me. I have always been skeptical of selling things online. After buying this program- I started taking photos of some of the stuff I had at home (including my daughter's old bed). We listed it on craigslist and it sold within 3 hours...for $500. I got so excited that I started putting more things online, including some office furniture and old computers since we were moving our offices. We even promoted our office sale on craigslist (because there is no fee) and got some really good buyers. I also discovered that I can sell things online for 4-5 times more money than having a garage sale.

In just one week of posting and selling items that were taking up space, I have made $1,500! That has already paid back my initial investment in Thrive Learning Institute. I can't believe I waited years to actually try to sell something online. I don't know why I was so afraid to simply try it. For a self-professed "techno phobe" like me - that is a major step. This gave me the confidence to build a website and finally make money on the internet & not rely on an IT person or internet marketer to make all the money while I have all the risk and do all the work.

Thank you for empowering me to think globally and to never have to have a garage sale again!

Sincerely,

Melanie

Lowell Praises Thrive Learning Institute's Curriculum

Dear Thrive,

Thank you for your response and continued support. This is all new to me and I need all the help I can get. I have some answers to your questions.

I would like to commend the Thrive Institute for a very well thought out teaching program. When I was teaching at Midland College, I sat on the Curriculum Studies Board for the Occupational/Technical Division Courses for the Drafting Department. At the time, I was the Head of the Drafting/Reproduction Department for a major oil company and allowed to organize and write my own courses to teach.

Your Benchmarks are a well thought out, stepped, progressive series of studies that helps tremendously for newcomers like me. They immediately get the student thinking about Internet sales, product sources and the steps to use them to be successful. The Coaching is there like a teacher would be in a class ready to help and answer questions.

To date I have sold 15 items on eBay for $138.26 and have 9 more items in auctions now. I have received 11 positive feedbacks for these sold items so far. I know that is not much, but it is exciting for me.

One of the most positive changes for me is looking every day for different product sources as I go around my daily routes of inspecting. Local auctions, second hand stores, resale shops, garage sales and surplus stores catch my eye and make me think how I could make money off items there by selling them on the internet.

I know I have a long way to go, but a long journey begins with the first step!
Thanks again and have a wonderful Memorial Day Holiday.

Lowell

Masters Degree Raves about Thrive's Teaching

Dear Tyler and all Team 1C Coaches,

When I decided to take on this venture with Thrive Learning Institute, I had no idea how much I would learn! I have always been a student and love to learn. Wow, have I learned a lot!

From setting up a business to building a website, and optimizing web pages, every step of the way you all have been there to guide me. I have really enjoyed this incredible journey.

Your commitment to my success is so appreciated. Thank you for your continued support and for always making me feel capable and important. I know that you are so busy helping many people, but you have always taken time to encourage me and answer all of my questions.

I have a masters degree in education and have been teaching for twenty five years. So I think I know how to judge teaching. You all are excellent teachers! Now I am ready to reap the benefits of my (our) labor! And you, my friends, should feel a real sense of accomplishment as you help people learn to help themselves!

Blessings to you all!
Stephanie A.
