Sorry guys, I just need to vent! One of my friends got involved with one of those mid-level marketing schemes (I won't name names, but it was one of the make-up companies), and I went to her party last night to support her. My mom's theory with those things has always been, go to the party, buy one thing, and never buy anything else from them again - which I figure is a good plan!
Of course, I didn't realize half the party would be trying to sell me the idea of getting involved myself! No, I don't want to sell your crap thanks, I have a real job. It's just tough to see because she's thinking she's going to be able to quit her other jobs and do this full-time, and sure some people do, but most people don't. It just reminds me so much of those get-slim-quick schemes. Yeah, you can do this and think it's going to work and waste your time and money, or you can do it the old fashioned way - WORK. And they say "I own my own business". If more than half of your commission is going to corporate and the people above you on the pyramid, you don't own anything! AGH.
Meanwhile, I could always tell her I know of a great plan to drop 20 pounds in 2 days! Where are those vendors when you need them?
