Written by Soured by Pink I thank you so much for what you and everyone on your site is doing. I almost fell victim to the pink dream and the promises of earning that cruise, earning that car, or the false promise of working without needing transportation. I had my …
One of our new members shares this story of how she got sucked into the pink vortex, but recognized the scam before buying inventory. Let me start by saying that I am new to this group, and I am so glad I found it! I think this is the perfect …
I am consistently amused by these types of documents that Mary Kay sales directors use to convince women that they need inventory. No one is “holding a gun to their head….” True, the new recruits have a choice. But over and over they are told the only way to succeed …
