Additional Comments:
I am thankful for life’s lessons. I thank God that I didn’t get into any debt and that I had the good sense to let go. I don’t feel any business is legitimate if you have to buy yourself up to the top. I love my life and I wouldn’t change it for the world.
Ladies,
When I say active, I mean that it hasn’t been a full year since I have purchased inventory. I don’t sell Mary Kay anymore or buy it. I use Clinique, lol. My mom loves it, so I gave it all to her. If she needs anymore I will buy it from someone on here for her. Other than that….I don’t want anything to do with it.
I hear ya completely! My ex-director brought me to Walmart one day so we could “warm chatter”
lol
SassyLady83, I’d say you were correct…Your brain is “active” therefore you saw quickly through the spin MK puts on the “opportunity”.
Good for you! I’m glad you didn’t get taken, you sound like a very smart lady!
I just want to say thank you for all the ladies that posted their experiences. I have been in 2 direct selling companies, and was thinking about doing MK. But after praying about it, and getting on this site, I am not going to do it. I do love the products, but I can buy them whenever I want or need them; I do not need to be a consultant to do that. I realized that this just would not be for me, and it is an answer to prayer that I finally realized this. The consultant I bought from was very nice and not pushy, but I let consultants know upfront that I am not interested in being a consultant right now (and now I will not be one at all.) Thank you again for this website; for all the positive and negative stories about MK!
