Well... I wouldn't call it being stupid or suckered in or silly.... It was a risk. Unfortunately, not a great one - but you've learned from that lesson.
Usually those things are all about how to make a quick buck or how to make $40,000 in 5 seconds for just clicking somewhere.. blah, blah, blah!
A lot of the time, those places know who to target... stay at home moms, elderly people, etc. And a lot of the time, those companies make it tougher on people like myself who actually do have a legit business.
I too got into a work at home/work on your own time gig. I spent about $300 on products I didn't use and didn't even offer to anyone else because I hadn't touched the box. I wasn't even sure how to go about it.. and just like Pauline.. no one assisted me. The woman signed me up, took my money and that was that!
I too took a chance and was completely turned off.
Then.... about 8 years later, I find myself in this group talking about the business I'm in because I believe in it. I now have a 3 year old daughter, don't have time for tricks and don't have money to throw away. My daughter is my 'why'. She is the reason I got involved with our corporate partner. It's the reason I started "Moms Build Dreams"... because we do.. and it's our job to make those dreams happen!
I love being able to share the opportunity with others - Yes, I know...it's not for everyone... but it's here for some. And that's ok. I can't stand those "Make $50,000 overnight" silly commercials or ads... In order to make money, you have to work.. it's as simple as that. Work smarter.. not harder.
There is no inventory, no distribution, no assembly (Annmarie)... nothing of that sort.. no selling either!
Well, with that said... I'm here to "share the wealth". If you'd like to get more information, that is completely free, please log on to my site and request more information. After you've watched and listened, then it's up to you to make the best decision for you and your family. That's a choice you'll always have to make.
If you have any questions or if anything else comes to mind... please email me, otherwise the website is listed below.
Have a great night, Ladies!!
