Thanks, Andrea. It’s funny because if you’ve ever been invited to look at an “opportunity” you usually know what’s coming next. It’s funny because I was looking at an old post of mine from 2 years ago, and at the time I even mentioned that MLM’s weren’t my thing! Amazing how things can change! Ha! I try to share it with people who are interested, not those that aren’t. Don’t want to be a pest, and that seems to be working. Thanks for the encouragement! It’s been, and I’m sure it will be a fun adventure.

I also got duped into meeting a couple who wanted to discuss “opportunities” for me, but I was so young I didn’t know until I showed up that it was an MLM thang.
These things need full disclosure, part of the reason people think they’re so scammy is because of the secretive nature people have with them. Had that couple straight up told me what they were pitching (Amway) I may have considered it more seriously. When they cornered me, I felt manipulated and icky, so leaving and not listening to anything they said was a given.
I’ve bought from MLM companies before at parties or what not. I usually really like the products, but I don’t like the constant pressure to join in and recruit. I know that’s an important part of the model, but there have been times I would have bought a product more regularly had the pressure to join and recruit not been there.
Just my thoughts on it, this is an interesting topic. I’m with you, I don’t think they’re all bad, but the reputation that’s been built around them has certainly turned people off.
In the end it’s YOUR passion that people will want to experience and be part of. If it’s coming from a genuine place, which it certainly seems to be, you’ll do well no matter what you do.
I’m excited to see where this takes you, it sounds like a great product!

So true about shutting down that voice that stops us from taking risks. I have had to learn to do that many times. You’re right– that’s what brought me here. This has nothing to do with the weight loss business. The great thing about this new business is that I can do it part time while I still maintain my main job! I get the best of both worlds right now– the security of my income and job that I already know, along with the potential and growth of a new opportunity.

But I dont understand its something related to your weight loss thing or is it something different? Do you keep doing the weight loss training?
