Today I heard from a friend whom I hadn’t heard from in a while. I was pretty excited to hear from her talked for a while about staying home and if we wanted more kids and getting together real soon. It was nice… until she started to tell me about this new business venture she had just got into. At first I thought “well maybe it’s Tastefully Simple or something like that” but as she went on it sounded more and more like Amway. Ugh. Now this person is a very well educated RN and she is the last person that I would ever think would get into a pyramid scam thing. I just can’t believe it. I feel bad but I really don’t even want to talk to her anymore. Why are some people so easy to be bowled over? She went on and on about some people making up to 6 figures and how anyone I got in would be under me. conversation went from being so pleasant to a full sales pitch. She was not calling for anything but to pull me in and make some $$ off of me. I’ve never had this happen before. I’ve just lost all respect for her now.
Try not to judge too harshly. She might sincerely think she’s doing you a favor, including you in this venture. Read this post, it might offer some perspective of her mindset:

I know it probably stung to realize she had ulterior motives for calling you. Sorry.
Thanks. I rad the blog and I tell you where the pyramid thing starts about ebing under you and stuff sounds just like what my friend was saying to me and it really turned me off. I’m still not sold. I guess i didn’t hear enough about the acutal product but how you get people in and they are under you and so on and so on.
