YOU MUST BE A VERY UNSUCCESSFUL CONSULTANT!!! TOO LAZY TO WORK, WHO WANTS EVERYTHING HANDED TO YOU ON A SILVER PLATTER! THERE ARE TOO MANY SUCCESS STORIES TO DENY M.K.'S MARKETING PLAN!!

There are a ton of 'unsuccessful' consultants, by MK terms. What is curious is how many 'unsuccessful' consultants and directors REMAIN in MK, racking up thousands of dollars worth of debt to 'keep up the 'image' of 'success'. TOOOOOOOO many women do this and if you think that the majority do not, think again! The teachings of "say you're GREAT" when your world is caving in around you, you find yourself having purchased too much inventory (at your director's advice) and your spouse is mad at you because you can't get rid of it, are deceptive. So, with that teaching in mind (You're GREAT no matter how unsuccessful you are), how are we to believe ANY MK woman's story of success? They are trained NOT to tell the whole truth, that's why women leave, they are tired of the lies. We are not stupid, we can see the TRUTH, so we RUN, oops QUIT, and become LOSERS! Ha!

That depends on what you mean by being "too lazy to work" or "denying Mary Kay's marketing plan". The plan definitely works for those peeople who are able to paint an exaggerated picture of the likelihood of success with Mary Kay. If being "lazy" means being unwilling to exaggerate the ease of working Mary Kay, then you're right, I am lazy. Oh well.

Hi There,

I'm a recently signed Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant who has wised up. I totally agree with the last poster of this thread. I did not want to be like other consultants and directors and rack up more debt. When you do that it's a lose-lose situation.

I'm a hopelessly realistic person when it comes to the business world. Mary Kay had me convinced I could change 29 some odd years of behavioural training and personality traits overnight. If I just signed on, if I just bought overpriced cosmetic products, if I just joined my unit's every Wednesday night "success" meetings.

I feel like I've put in a lot of work just for a business debut that I had no reassurances would even go well. I'm not a natural risk taker and something inside me that was shut down momentarily awakened and kept telling me, "Don't do this!" I finally listened to that voice.

I think that when many of us join Mary Kay we stop listening to our common sense. We're swayed by all the bells and whistles. The only person with common sense was my husband and I derided him for not being supportive. How wrong I was! How many lives does Mary Kay change for the better I wonder.

I'm sorry, but, Mary Kay is not that unique a product. After I joined, I was learning things and doing things that didn't make me comfortable in my own skin. I felt really gullible, thought I was so smart not to fall for it and yet I did.

Ladies, listen to your inner voice. If instinct and years of good sense get tossed aside just for some "business" scheme that may never be successful, then you need to listen.

I'd rather be a glorified house wife and mother then be unfullfilled by empty promises from Mary kay.
