One supposed friend was so taken aback that she hasn't spoken to me in a year. Oh well.

I don't want to buy jewelry, sex toys, melted wax fragrances, dip mixes, cosmetics, home decor, plastic food storage, vitamins, oils, fabric bags, clothing from a faux friend under the auspices of a fun girl's night out in someone's house. Nope.

My DH does graphic design and is an idependent cotractor. You know what he doesn't do? Try to sell graphic design to all of our friends and family.
He also sets his own price points, marketing techniques/tools and works for a variey of companies needing his specific skillset.

What skills do you have selling lotions?

I see the coffee on my feed too — “magic coffee” — with no information and “DM me!”. My friends in the Midwest are starting to become “The FASTer way” coaches, I haven’t seen anything from local friends. So maybe that MLM is striking the Midwest first with their IF coaching or it is just a coincidence?


Less R&F but more EVER.

I don’t really need the whole regimen and I keep buying mostly just the moisturizer. But it costs a FORTUNE! Literally more in one month than I would usually pay on skin stuff in a year.

Can anyone recommend something similar to R+F Soothe that would work for really really sensitive skin? Ideally fragrance free and not costing four digits for a year’s supply? I wear NO makeup and really only need moisturizer and sunscreen. I would love to stop buying R+F!

Just as FYI, you don't own it. If you're forbidden to open a store to sell your products, are told by your upline how to word posts and what to sell, and your company has an actual CEO, then you don't "own" anything. Drs. Rodan and Fields do.

You think independent contractors have CEOs? You think small businesses have CEOs?

Get an education before you post.

LMAO. Am referring to HunBots actual posts, about how they are "CEOs" and "Own their own business". They own nothing, the majority of MLMs don't even allow them to pass their pyramids down to their kids. But nice, take a cheap shot at me.

Most businesses are not passed down to kids. That does not mean they are not a business. You don't understand business, you only understand "jobs". You don't get how it works.

Can you sell your "small business" then? ALL small business owners are able to either sell their business or pass it down.

Gosh, I do need an education. And educate others too! I'm about to stroll into the owner/CEO's office at the small firm where I currently work and tell him that a) he doesn't exist, and b) his firm cannot be passed down to his kids or sold.

Most small businesses function on a small margin and when they retire there is very little to "sell". Is a small plumbing company gonna sell his tools? What planet do you live on.

But if they wanted to sell a working business to someone prior to retirement, they could. And yeah, upon retirement they could sell their tools, their work van, their wet vacs, etc. You can't. Because you don't own anything. You can't even legally resell the merchandise at a big discount.

they could sell them all their product samples and introduce them to their regular client base.

Pretty sure they're not allowed to sell any of that stuff, and definitely not at a discount. There are secret "illegal" FB groups where you can get deeply discounted MLM merchandise - it's people trying to get out and get rid of their merchandise without the company finding out. My friend who swears by the R&F eyelash stuff is in several of those groups.

And she's here, folks! Been waiting for you!

But she forgot to add the "it breaks my heart" phrase in the above screed. Honestly, every friend I've had that was taken in by one of these MLMs changed personalities while they were plugging their sales, almost glassy-eyed, with a perma smile. When they stopped selling, it was like a switch was turned off and they came back to reality.

Well it Does break my heart! We should be supporting other women who are working hard to provide for their families. Just because you don’t like your job and are jealous of their lifestyle, that’s no reason to hate on them!
