IN THE COACH'S CORNER: BOB CUSHMAN

Bob Cushman is a new member of Coach's Corner and lives in Rocklin, California. Bob states, "First of all, achieving this goal wouldn't have been possible without the mentoring and support given to me by my sponsor, Kriss Hansen, and the encouragement of my girlfriend, Nerissa Fox. It also wouldn't have been possible without a team effort and that is what it really is all about. The team includes the incredible support provided by corporate staff — the best I have ever had the privilege of working with! My next goal now is to personally help ten team members to achieve the same goal. I firmly believe that if we each do what Coach teaches us, than we can all succeed together!"

Bob feels he is blessed to be able to work his YTB business full time, and loves working from home with no commute. His sister Ruth Hand, who lives in Illinois, has joined the team, and Nerissa has just started her PowerTeam! Bob enjoys both marketing and travel, and just last month helped a new RTA book a group to the Bahamas, and she earned $2,260 travel commission on her very first booking! Marketing gives Bob the opportunity to make new friends.

When asked in what ways Bob sees YTB impacting his family's financial future, he explains, "I have many WHYs for striving towards my goal to build a legacy with YTB, and first and foremost is my daughter Anna, who is a single parent. Besides working towards putting aside enough money for my eight year old granddaughter to attend college, I want to do something special for my Mom, who is 76, and my Dad, who just turned 80. I don't want to say what that special thing is, because I want it to be a huge surprise when the time comes! My sister Ruth's goal is first retiring her husband so he can work the business full time, and then retire herself so she can go full time with YTB! I also want to be able to help my younger sister who has struggled financially."
 
    Bob received his own surprise the day after attending his first Red Carpet Day on May 6, 2008.

Bob, Nerissa, and Kriss met with Coach, who personally promoted Bob to Coach's Corner.  Bob happily recalls, "It was just incredible, having Coach personally present me with the Coach's Corner watch and putting it on me!  It all caught me so totally by surprise I was overwhelmed with joy, and it brought me to tears!  I haven't been so excited in years!"

Bob and Nerissa will be attending this year's National Convention, along with as many team members as possible. He sums up his thoughts on YTB: "After 12 years of searching for the perfect home-based business, I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of YTB as we make history in the largest retail industry in the world! YTB has reignited my passion for travel and rekindled the fire in me to reach higher and higher, and to bring as many others with me on this incredible journey as possible! I genuinely believe with all my heart that my prior 12 years of searching and striving, along with all the disappointments along the way, has led me to YTB and prepared me for this opportunity of a lifetime! I encourage anyone, who is looking at YTB for the first time, and considering joining, to invest the time to really get to know the vision and heart of this company as if you were considering buying a $100,000+ franchise. In case you can't tell…I am totally committed and completely 'sold' on YTB!"
