Thanks for your comments though, and have a very nice evening!

We don’t try to make decisions for others, we just try to inform them before they make a decision (best case scenario) or give them a heads up to MK practices if they have already joined.  And if by chance they have been one of the very few who have been successful without frontloading and using others, then, we of course applaud them and are happy for them!

Thanks for posting, I think I’ll go have a frosty drink now and “chill”.

I’ve read a lot of the posts on this site and have to disagree with you that there is agression, meanness or hatred displayed here.  Yes, from time to time there is the odd person who comes in and throws down their opinion in a disrespectful matter and we may counteract to their rudeness a bit defensively.  The women that are here have experienced a lot of atrocities in Mary Kay and know that the majority of women that get involved with the company are going to experience the same at some point during their business.  You are completely right that women need to make their own mistakes and learn real life hard lessons.  Personally, I came across this site before I signed my Mary Kay agreement but quickly disregarded everything I had read here because I needed to see for myself.  Thats the truly unfortunate thing:  Women do make their own decisions whether they are good decisions or not.  I had heard the multiple horror stories here about the consultants who experienced such losses emotionally and financially, but those stories were overtaken by all of the manipulations from my sales director and recruiter.  But thats okay, I lived and I learned just like so many of the women that will read the posts on this site, live them for themselves, and then come back to get the support of these fabulous women.  What really blew me away once I decided to get out is how we come from all across North America (I myself live in Canada) yet have all experienced the exact same things.  That just proves that its not just isolated to a certain area.  This deception is actually the roots of the company and yes, you are right when you say that women need to learn this lesson on their own (and theres no doubt they will).  We are all here for IBCs who are going through each stage of this deception for them to know that they are not alone and there are COUNTLESS others who have been there.  And no, we are not here because we don’t know how to manage our money, didn’t work our business, or are push-overs.  We are here because we know that Mary Kay is a fraud/deadend/moneypit and is truly not at all what they make it out to be.  The members who post on this site are always respectful to those who come across in a kind manner.  Its when people come in and judge our intentions and pretend they know what we are here doing and throw names around, that our guards go up, just like any other human being would when confronted in a disrespectful manner.  Okay, I’ll “chill out” know.  Thanks for your post.

We talk about much more than MK.  You’ll see topics on health, fitness, cooking, family, hobbies, current events, humor and much more.  You’ll meet women who are warm, witty and very supportive.  I hope to see you inside!

Now as for how she does it? I have no idea. All i know is she loves what she does, and she has a customer list and a team list ‘a mile long’.

Let me give you a clue…it’s that mile long team list. Your mom is making money getting people to sign up and then buy thousands of dollars of inventory AND commissions on any sales those team members make.
