*** To those doing due diligence on the IIB ***
After all the (mostly) negative information contained in this website about the IIB, it seems appropriate to discuss the real IIB.
If you are looking for a reason to NOT join the IIB, then look no further as you have found the correct website for your needs. Given that the negative comments are in large font and positioned at the top, there is little reason to look further at any rebuttals.
On the other hand, if you are serious about this opportunity, read on.....
Notwithstanding that this website is itself under allegations fraud, let's talk about the real IIB and dispense with the rest of the information on this site.
There are many opportunities to fail in life and failure in the IIB can surely occur if one is predisposed to think so. Success in life is hard work and there are many sayings about that topic. The IIB is hard work, period. If you are looking for a get rich quick scheme, I suggest you alter your sleep patterns and stay up late at night to watch the GRQ commercials.
On the other hand, if you wish to change what you have been doing in corporate life or elsewhere, and not be stuck down the road with royalty payments or other recurring payments from other programs, then you need to look at this model.There are many small and medium sized businesses out there that need help. Particularly now.
The IIB model has been focused on these businesses since 1984. There have been many people try to duplicate the IIB success, including one who amazingly posted negatively on this site to further their cause-- yet the IIB is still here, doing what it has done for decades.
Yes, I have been an IIB member for over 4 years now but I am also now a business person in my community that is well respected for what I do - helping business owners. This started with the IIB process and I have, of course, worked hard to grow my business.
For most of us who have seen a good portion of our retirement funds dwindle over the past few months, I would have gladly invested those funds in new candidates chosen by the IIB to join for they are the most credentialed individuals you will ever meet. What an investment that could have been!
If you would like to talk more about my experiences, send me an email through eBAY using my signature below. I would be happy to tell you about how this program has altered my life and the way I now conduct business after leaving the executive suite of a large corporation.

#1 Consumer Comment
I have been a Member of IIB for over 12 years, so do know a thing or two about it.
AUTHOR: Blackbob - (United Kingdom)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, March 03, 2009
First I joined the organisation, like the disappointed subscriber, and paid my money and my annual sub ever since.
That was back in 1997, 12 years ago, and given the support and benefit its been to me over these years, I would have been willing to pay twice as much.
It's been worth a lot more than that to me and I just wish I had found it many years before I did.
But I have given time to the ethos and ethics of the IIB; free time to struggling SMEs, and lots of paid time as well. I have a way of life which suits me I am very busy and engaged in many businesses, but I am having fun and fulfilment I never had before.
Now this does not come down from IIB itself, but it is facilitated by them. If it were not for them I would not be where I am, and that really would be sad.!!
I have mentored many new IIBers and have seen many who could not hack the sharp end, meeting new businesses for the first time, and struggling to know what to say; many felt disillusioned and incapable; and so dispirited they left the shade of the umbrella.
Now that was not IIBs fault, they had expected too much spoonfeeding which is NOT what the whole ethos is about.
You join as an experienced business man (woman) able to deliver value to clients who are mainly SMEs, and if you cannot deliver that, or find a way to moderate your attitudes to ensure that it is delivered then the IIb is not for you.
I have mentored people who have gone on to buy their own businesses, rather than meet new prospects and thats fine, but don't blame the IIB; it offers you a methodology which works, and there are so many who have succeeded using it, that listening to those who have not been able to make it work will simply deprive many people of an oppotunity to take control of their own life for a change; to do some good for their economy, for local SMEs and for themselves.
There are always pygmies in the scrub, but we don't have to listen to them; those of us who take chances and lead from the front just get on with the task in hand.
So I rebut these accusations of Rip Off and encourage those making the accusations to have a good look in the mirror, and into their own hearts; did they really try?
