“You say you’re helping others, but what you’re doing is feeding their doubt and disappointment.”

Doubt and disappointment are perfectly reasonable emotions to have, especially when you’ve been promised the moon and haven’t even gotten a Moon Pie. Just because an emotion doesn’t feel nice, or you’ve been taught that it’s “negative”, doesn’t mean it’s invalid. In fact, it’s extra important to address those heavy feelings because they will affect your life in a way that security and contentment don’t.

If the doubt and disappointment are there to be fed, they’re there for a reason, and the person owes it to themself to know why and what brought them on so they can make a decision about the way forward. Like whether to continue throwing money after a business model where far less than 1% of participants make a living wage.

You know what honestly breaks my heart?

Mine breaks when women get sucked into MLMs, strange that.

That so many women find this site and get pulled deeper into negativity.

I find the negativity is coming from the increasingly desperate SDs and NSDs who are watching their money vanish as it comes harder to compete against other MLMs, department store, pharmacies and specialised make-up stores. Not to mention how MKC is constantly messing with everything.

I’m not saying everyone’s experience with Mary Kay is perfect. Nothing in life is!

This seems to be a new talking point with our beloved PTCs. It’s still pre-emptive victim blaming though.

But this place is just a support group for bitterness.

That free space in my bingo card rarely fails.

You say you’re helping others, but what you’re doing is feeding their doubt and disappointment.

But do you know who planted the doubt and disappointment? The constant hamster wheel of “Book, Sell, Book, Recruit” while stretching your credit cards. The “Rah Rah” of trying to make those last minute monthly sales so that ranks and cars are safe for another few weeks.

Mary Kay gave me confidence I didn’t even know I had.

If so, good for you ma’am.

It gave me friendships that go beyond business.

I hope they do, for your sake but I’m doubtful given the stories from across MLMs which show that you are dropped quickly once you leave.

It gave me something to believe in when I really needed it.

Therapy is probably cheaper.

I’ve had hard months, sure. I’ve questioned things. But I didn’t quit and I pushed through. That’s what it takes.

The perfect lil worker bee.

Not everyone is going to see success overnight.

Very few are going to see success. But there are going to be plenty whose illusions look similar.

But that doesn’t mean the opportunity is a scam.

Sadly Mary Kay Wagner Rogers Eckman Weaver Louis Miller Hallenbeck Ash’s company own figures disagree with you.

For one person to profit, 249 people MUST lose.

It means you have to grow into it. And if you had stuck around long enough to do that, maybe you wouldn’t feel the need to tear down something that’s helped so many others thrive.

You’re talking down to women who were SDs, brave of you. And how did the aforementioned 249 women thrive?

I really hope you find something that lifts you up instead of just tearing things down.

Mary Kay Wagner Rogers Eckman Weaver Louis Miller Hallenbeck Ash’s company like those of other MLMs are a house of cards. It takes one slightly out of alignment or some-one to get too close and the whole thing will tumble. Judging by the vast numbers of director groups’ screenshots complaining about practically everything in MKC, the company is teetering. Just which mis-alignment will cause the whole thing to crash down?
