She didn't want to but the lady wouldn't take "<I>no</I>" for an answer. After Lindsay couldn't get it through this lady's head, I just told her "<I>look, I don't want her to do it and Lindsay's going to listen to me over you.</I>" The lady said something stupid like "<I>well you shouldn't control her.</I>" I sort of replied "<I>neither should you.</I>" This all happened in church after a conversation about how excited we were that Lindsay no longer had to work for someone else - and was with me full-time.<BR/><BR/>The lady didn't hear "<I>I'm so excited about working with my husband!</I>" She only saw a way in for her douchebag company. <BR/><BR/>I wanted to slap the lady.

I kn...I immediately thought of what Eric said, too. <BR/><BR/>I know 5 people who are into that, and they have no clue how many friends they have lost. I ran into one of them while I was out recently, and he's like, "I don't really see anyone anymore, you know? It's like, people are super busy... I guess everyone's growing up." I was just like, "Yeah..." but I wanted to say, "Maybe it's because no one thinks you actually just want to 'hang out' anymore after you've repeatedly tried to sell crap to them when you DO call them to 'hang out.'" Actually, I'm pretty sure that's it. Everyone I know still has time to hang out with friends... but we just can't trust the people in that group anymore. The worst part is, is that they use the whole, "Christ wants us to be financially free." Well, YEAH! But not by selling crap, manipulating your family and friends, having this business consume your life and give you so much false hope that you truly believe you can "retire" at 28 years old from your well paying job that you went to college for... <BR/><BR/>It honestly breaks my heart that they give up on what they were originally called to do in order to pursue the financial freedom. It breaks my heart that no one trusts them anymore, and that they'll be stuck in this false hope and crappy business for so long, because they'll almost feel obligated to after they put in all that time and money. And I couldn't agree more--- that you need to sell something worth while that people actually want or need!<BR/><BR/>I have a friend who does Mary Kay, and I honestly feel that's different. They actually sell good products-- as long as girls don't get caught up in thinking they can own a mansion for selling makeup, it can be a fun side-job for them.<BR/><BR/><BR/>So yeah.... ask me how I REALLY feel about it, haha!!Ginger Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16907862737523083352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13946500.post-26183449513440193132009-03-11T16:51:00.000-07:002009-03-11T16:51:00.000-07:00Yaaay!
