UGH! My women know that I sell PartyLite, and they will tell me when they are out of candles or need a gift, but other than that - they don't hear it from me.

EXACTLY! This is why I won't make the big bucks. I let people know that I'm a consultant with MK but I don't want to impose myself on them. If they are interested in the products, they can let me know. I had a cousin tell me that she needed a foundation and I dropped it off for her (as well as some other products as gifts). A friend needed help with her skin and I sent her samples - and she purchased some of the products that I sent samples of - but she also knew that she didn't have to. I KNOW that my family would help me out by hosting a show or something like that, but I don't want them to do that so I just don't ask - and what I have been told is that you aren't imposing, that you are offering a service. True, but I still don't feel right. There is also the whole inventory thing. Yes, if you are able to sell a lot you should be buying products from the company, but a LOT of people buy because they feel pressured to, etc.
Now, to go along with the comment about staying away from negative people. This is partially true. You shouldn't avoid negative people to the point of alientation, HOWEVER I know that if I hang around negative people for too long that I get bitter and then its time for me to stay away from them for a while (this includes my parents!).
Anyway, that's my little $.02 worth of this discussion.
