it’s an MLM, a pyramid scheme that’s eventually going to dump you flat on your face and eat through every penny you have supposedly earned,
not a “small woman-owned business.”
If your income is dependent on A) hawking pseudoscience “health” products to vulnerable populations, and B) suckering other women into paying hundreds to start doing the same,
it’s an pyramid scheme that’s eventually going to leave you destitute, not a “small woman-owned business.”
You are not an entrepreneur.
You are a cog in a giant machine designed only to make money for those at the very top.
You are not a small business owner.
You are an employee and you make less than commission, and once you stop using your every waking moment to try and shove your products down the throats of your dwindling friends lists, once you stop using pictures of your baby boy as advertisements for your “small business journey” and using his tiny baby face to try and convince people to “join you in becoming your own boss,” once you realize that posting pictures of your family for the sole purposes of trying to swindle everyone else into buying into your delusion is wrong on levels I can’t even begin to describe, your employers are going to dump you flat and you’ll be left with a bill dozens of times more than what you ever got from years of selling your soul.
And no, for the last time, my dear,
I do not want to get in on it.
Please stop asking me if I “know what you do,” I know all too well.
I also know that you, unfortunately, do not. You have no idea. And I can only hope you realize and get out before it’s too late.
