Maybe I said this before but I didn't make back what i put into my businesses. I sold (and technically still sell) both Mary Kay and Partylite because I really do love the products. I wanted to get the product at a discount so I signed up. However, they don't tell you that you have to do a weekly report, not to mention weekend lunches, brunches, meetings, phone conferences, coffee chat, power hour, and all this other BS that I don't have time for and it's not really my cup of tea. Plus they all cost money. $10 for this meeting, $15 for this one. $75 career conference and when I don't sign up I get hassled from my leader with calls and emails hourly! You also have to order business cards, your kit, extra things, gas to get to the parties, professional outfits, all this crap. I think doing home shows are a hassle and I won't do them. Period.
MK is also a pain because someone just asked to order an $11 lipgloss, however the shipping is $8.00 per order (regardless of size) so I will spend $8.00 and make $5.50 on it. I can't afford to buy other stuff just to make it worth my while because I have a huge inventory of stuff (not the lipgloss she wants, though)
