Just a reminder, the MLM structure was the failure, not you. 😍 Actually, the fact that someone as beautiful and talented as you didn't "succeed" with lularoe should be all the proof someone needs that the mlm structure is inherently flawed. Your photo shoots were adorable!! You are clearly destined for great things. Best of luck and so glad to hear that yout hb sounds like one of the good guys out there. 😍
Aw!!! Thanks so much Carmen! You made my day. What a sweet comment! I appreciate that so much!! Everything works out the way it should and I'm glad this didn't work out for me :-) He is. I am so lucky to have him! Thank you so much
@@LizzieinLace thank you. I subscribed to your channel. How nice to see a person without drama who has the rare combo of beauty and brains and kindness. 🙂
@@bridgethannah2933 what exactly makes you say that? Personally, I am unaware of any difference between the MLM structure of LuLaRoe & other MLMs, with with exception of the blatant inventory loading with LuLaRoe, which is 1 of the reasons that the state of Washington was able to successfully bring charges against them for being a pyramid scheme. Another reason was proof of outrageous income claims, which are against the FTC and SEC guidelines for MLMs. A ponzi scheme is slightly different in the sense that there's usually no tangible product and the money from the last investors are used to pay back the first investors to gove the company legitimacy. But I would like to hear why you think that. 😊
This isn’t about being “negative” it’s about telling the truth. Also, telling retailers they’re “being negative” when they’re raising legitimate concerns is part of the indoctrination process and protecting the brand. Don’t be afraid to be honest and tell your truth!
Thank you for this. You are 100% right! There is a difference between being negative and telling the truth. This is absolutely what they do and this is why I held off saying anything for years. I appreciate the encouragement!
Agree!!! Gaslighting is an important part of the manipulation process…by Intentionally making people question their own gut instincts so they ignore any red flags and blindly follow.
‘I’m Lizzie in Lace not Lizzie in Lularoe’ 😂 it’s good that you were able to stand your ground and make your decision based on what you truly believe in, it’s really nice that you care about your customers
It breaks my heart that MLMs are taking advantage of anyone, but breaks extra when they take advantage of sweet souls like you. The business model is designed to fail 99% of people, it is not personal and YOU did not fail. 💜💜
Aww Thank you so much Brianna! I appreciate that so much because afterward, I did feel like a failure. I didn't realize everything until much later but I'm glad that it didn't work out for me
I’m desperately searching for more anti mlm content after binging all of Chelsea, Isabella, Dianna, Erin, and Jessica and decided to search out more anti mlm and found you and my gosh you are STUNNING and I can’t even handle it. And you spoke my love language “I’m sorry this might be kind of long.” I LOVE 45-90 minute videos since I listen while I clean and fall asleep and it’s so hard to make a new playlist of 20+ minutes long so I don’t have to stop and find more so keep it coming. MORE ANTI MLM CONTENT!!!
Awww thank you!! You are seriously the sweetest 😚 HAHA! I feel like once I start going, I don't stop. I seem to babble on forever LOL! I do the same thing. I listen to videos in all scenarios - when I'm working, driving, cleaning, etc. I left out some stuff in this video and didn't realize until I already posted so I might film a part two 😆
I came to RU-vid to figure out how to fix my toilet and I’ve just spent nearly an hour watching a stranger talk about clothes I’ve never worn or cared about. Sorcery!
Also, I forgot to mention a few things in the video - * I’m not sure how widespread this was but… we were encouraged to buy a re-tag gun so that we could wear clothes to pop-ups and then re-tag and sell 😬 For the record, I did NOT do this because it felt morally wrong (and unsanitary) 🙅♀️🙅♀️🙅♀️ * I also remember being left completely alone at some amusement park thing at the convention. I asked to tag along with some local ladies and they ditched me. * Also at the convention - I had the opportunity to meet the owners. I was not impressed. Deanne basically rolled her eyes and walked over to sign bonus checks. * We were not allowed to be in B/S/T groups (even if we wanted to purchase something for ourselves) * Items were constantly missing from orders * We were encouraged to constantly do giveaways with our own product at our own expense.
Re-tagging is gross. Good for you for refusing to do that! And good for you for maintaining your integrity. That fact is one I haven’t heard mentioned yet. I’m sure you are very grateful that you walked away in light of the backlash regarding Lularoe and other MLMs. I’m hoping the government finally starts to come down hard on these companies.
I’ve had a long career in finance and finally had to go independent because a lot of the same dynamics you experienced affected me too. Cheering for you! ☀️
I usually do not comment on videos but I just wanted to let you know that I am impressed with how you managed to style the LuLaRoe items to make them not only look presentable and not frumpy but actually elegant. I am not into this type of clothing (and I think in Italy we have generally different trends compared to the US) and I am checking the LuLaRoe videos because I am interested in the psychological aspect of pyramid schemes and other toxic group dynamics, but just wanted to let you know that you are actually a really good stylist, glad you were able to continue in this field with your fashion blog
Thank you so much for this!! This is honestly the best compliment someone could give me. They definitely didn't see my worth but I'm so happy that it didn't work out because it allowed me to use my skills in a way that benefitted me much more
I'm so sorry you had such a terrible experience! You have the sweetest demeanor and without one doubt you will succeed girl! Keep blessing the world with your personality! 😁 sending so much love from Oklahoma!
So glad you decided to do what was right and not work for them anymore, it’s really horrible some of the things that were going on, and thanks for sharing your story so others won’t be caught up in the same dilemmas!
Oh man I remember when this was HUGE. The clothing wasn’t really for me, but I still supported a couple of my friends. I’ve known people to purchase merch more than they could sell and they were stuck with it. The only positive from this mlm is that people didn’t push you or bug you every two weeks to be apart of it like Monat. 🤣
LOL! Yes, it BLEW up! Aww yes. We were told to do that, unfortunately :-( It's actually terrible. Haha omg!! I cannot tell you the amount of DMs I get every single day lol! 😂
I, for one, am very glad that you never went Lizzie in Lularoe. I've always enjoyed your unique style and your dedication to it in your blog and Instagram.
Thank you so much Mary! 💖 I feel like you’ve been there since day one. You’ve always been so encouraging 🥰 And I’ve enjoyed seeing your content and style evolve in such a beautiful and authentic way 💖
You should have been getting paid for your image as well! They could have used you as a face of the brand! You are absolutely GORGEOUS and your styling takes the brand to another level! You really could go far at the RIGHT company or even branding yourself!
Wow, since 2015, that’s 5+ years of doing really well and then seeing the red flags for yourself and leaving. Really glad you got out 🙏 Hope the folks you recruited into this get out too!
Thank you! I actually was only in it for 7 months 🥰 I quit at the end of 2015, just as things started picking up. Glad I saw the light lol. Also not sure if you watched the video but I did NOT recruit anyone (I spoke about my reasoning for several minutes near the end) 💖
I think your authenticity and self awareness are so refreshing. Thanks for putting out such a positive and informative video about your experience with Lularoe. You seem like such a cool person, and I’m now following your insta. Keep being you and being awesome!
Your a smart lady, sweet and charming….”breaking even” is unheard of so be proud of yourself and know you have a good head on your shoulders. I wish you all the happiness you heart can hold. You deserve it!!!! Thank you for sharing your story.🙋🏻♀️
I just watched the LulaRoe documentary yesterday and am absolutely riveted by all the stories shared by the sellers. If I'd ever have been tempted to get involved (and frankly, I never heard of LulaRoe until about a year ago, when the bloom was already off the rose, so the speak) I'd have lasted about 5 minutes before I would have come unglued with anxiety and anger over all the control that was exerted over the sellers. I admire that you refused to recruit others to join your team (I could never have done that, either!) and to submit to wearing ONLY their clothes. Insane! To tyrannize over the people who've invested in your products and browbeat them with shaming techniques floors me--and that people were willing to submit to that for so long before bailing out--I can't really take it in. I'm a pretty non-confrontational person and I don't like to rock boats, but I'd have had a meltdown. And I'd have probably had some terse words telling them what they could do with their "resignation letter" demand, to boot. No wonder the folks who've gotten out are so traumatized. What a nasty cult-like organization! Thanks for sharing your account. (Off now to listen to part 2!)
Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment, Victoria! There are a lot of interesting stories out there. It's crazy because it's one of those situations where you don't really understand what's going on until you're on the outside looking in. There were some very, very manipulative practices and questioning anything was a big no-no. Absolutely! It boggles my mind! But I remind myself that everyone's situation and thinking process is different. Some of us learn from the situation and others... just keep doing it without question. I hear you on the non-confrontational part lol! I'm the same way but I'm learning how to stand up for myself and now that I've been in this situation (and other similar circumstances), I can spot the signs from a mile away. I will never understand how they sleep at night knowing how many people this has negatively impacted!
Yessssss! That's exactly why I don't understand why they say it's "your" business. It's not. You don't get to make the decisions on what prints to buy, how much to sell for or even company goals for the future. You are given rules to follow and as someone that has owned multiple *actual* businesses, I can confidently say that this is not a real small business opportunity. LOL! Thank you!
@@Liz_678 You are 100% right. In the beginning, there were actually some cute patterns (not joking lol!!)! They started to go downhill quickly after. Another tactic they used was to photograph and promote the "pretty" patterns for social media, launches, their website, etc so when you were ordering, you thought you were going to get some of the cute ones pictured and it ended up being ugly prints that weren't shown :-/ A lot of smaller consultants got stuck with these because top tier consultants could pick their prints at times. It definitely wasn't what I was expecting. Lesson learned!
Can I tell you how awesome you are.. You learned some really hard lessons and are helping others not do the same.. You are 100 percent a success and your heart is beautiful... Thank you for having this channel.
I love your work!!! I can relate!! You look so good in your photo shoots!! I think you’re incredibly likable and talented!! I really enjoyed this video!!!
I'm familiar with the LLR story, and your personal version was a worthwhile retelling of it. You seem to be a sincere and motivated person. I do believe that you need to work on controlling the nervous giggle. I'm glad you didn't fall into the constant recruiting trap of MLM life.
Thank you for clearing that up ;-) Actually one of the points that they really leaned into was the fact that you "didn't have to have a team" in order to be successful (although that's where the real money was made obviously). I never recruited and wasn't interested so I was oblivious to the fact that it was initially based off of product purchased (and this was not only for commission check qualification but also cruise qualifying as well... meaning that they basically overpaid for their cruise lol). It wasn't until after it was changed to product sold that I saw what they were doing. We were told not to question anything so many people fully trusted that Lularoe's decisions were legit and didn't see the "red flags" until they were out. I talked about this a bit in the second video.
I haven't really heard of this brand before! But I'm glad you are being true to yourself! I love your style and that's amazing you turned this experience into something that has helped you now!
Avon was basically the same, you had to purchase your books and samples and urged to purchase new items to show your customers and to purchase some top sellers so if a customer wanted it you would have it on hand. Knocking on doors in your territory was horrible. You didn’t know if you were safe or if they were buying. I remember my first day I knocked on 50 doors. Only 3 answered and I had 2 call backs. I gave it 6 months and decided I was working one job just to cover Avon which I wasn’t making enough to cover the campaign books, receipts, bags, samples.
Oh wow!! I do remember Avon. That's crazy! Times sure have changed from going door to door. Good for you for giving it a timeline. That's really smart! I can't believe that your job was covering the costs of Avon... actually, scratch that. I can believe it. Thank you so much for sharing your experience!! I'm glad that you got out
Thank you for posting this, So Many Thing's that you've said Are So Close to My Heart as Well😔. I'm Still trying to get Rid of What I have left. I've Always wanted to "Own" my own Boutique. I Still Do..😊
Thank you for sharing your story and you are probably helping more people than you know. And I think you are as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside. And by the way- your pictures that you said that "were not very good" Well, I think they absolutely very good & you are adorable in them!!
I have to laugh to keep from crying LOL! ;-) But really, that means so much! It was a less than ideal situation but I can't change it. I can, however, take it as a learning experience and try to stay positive instead of letting it consume my life and health
It's such a travesty that LLR ended up being what it is. They're clothes fit me during my surprise 3rd pregnancy and I didn't stretch them out. Such super soft material and cute styles. I have a whole wardrobe. 😆🤷🏼♀️ But I won't buy anymore after everything I've recently learned.
Totally! I think there was potential early on but then it just went downhill. I did keep a handful of Amelia dresses that I loved as well as one pair of black leggings lol! I hope you find an even better place to buy cute, comfy clothing
@@valjean2036 I can't continue to support what they do to their stylists and all of those unknown artists that LuLaRoe stole from just to have creative patterns.
Sounds like you truly dodged a bullet!! I hate excess and commercialism, which unfortunately is a big part of the fashion world .. Thank you for sharing, Lizzie, and you look gorgeous, well and happy! Donna 🧚♀️❤️🐝
You’re right, Donna! Things definitely worked out in my favor. So grateful for that!! 🙏 oh yes, that is so true! Aw thank you 🥰 I’m definitely feeling better these days!! I hope you are too 💖
Just come across this video whilst searching anti mlm content. As an active anti mlm member I really enjoyed your video. Your style is great and you have such good camera presence. I am so glad you decided to leave this trash company. Another person to see the light 🙌👏
Ooo this is a really good question! As far as breaking even, I did not make anything personally. Once I subtracted everything that I invested from what I made, it was basically at zero (I was over maybe $100, if that?). I put the majority back into the business - reordering product, buying racks, business cards, convention fees, other expenses. So yes... I was basically working for free for 7 months lol! And my goodness, it took up ALL of my time. Full-time work for part-time pay haha (or in my case, no pay!).
Oh I know! It's so frustrating! But after seeing what so many others lost, it doesn't even compare. It was a bad choice and lesson learned on my end. At worst, I lost a bit of time and money but it taught me a lot about life and my priorities. I think the company has already started to get it's karma though!
I loved hearing your story! I nevet did lularoe, but I did mary kay & i feel like our stories are kinda similar with having the 1 friend introduce you to a product you enjoyed & just where we were in life. I started right after my bf and I had moved to Tennessee. I wasnt too in the loop with what Mlms were and then when finding out and learning more i quit lol
Thanks so much Davita! Oh yes, Mary Kay :-) Oh wow! Yeah, I was in a weird phase of my life - I learned a lot of lessons from this experience. It was definitely interesting and after I started to see and experience some shady things, I was out lol!!
I’m also obsessed with the Amelia (only lularoe style I like lol). In Dec 2019, I was also working 4 jobs (an MLM, a tutor for our homeschool co-op, a quality analyst for a car company, and a personal assistant to a mortgage broker). That incentive and drive to make money is REAL. It’s addictive. And we feel like we can just take on more and more and more and more, until we break. In Feb 2020, I quit all my jobs. I’ve never felt more free. But I completely understand that “need” for the hustle.
LOL!!! The Amelia is the dress the sold me into joining 😂 I will say that it's very cute and flattering. It was all downhill after that lol. Oh wow!! So you totally understand where I'm coming from. Definitely - I think the drive to be "successful" and my background had a lot to do with it. There were many less than ideal financial situations I went through growing up and I never wanted to be in that place again. I also grew up with a single mom that worked all hours of the day so I thought it was normal. You are right! We feel invincible until we burn ourselves out. It got to the point where my health was in jeopardy and it wasn't like I was raking in a ton of money! It's just not worth it. I quite everything aside from my blog/YT/IG and it has been exactly what I needed. I realized that I was working myself way harder than I needed to. It was never about money for me but my priorities have shifted since then. It's important to take care of yourself
Thank you for sharing your story. I am so sad to hear that this company is such a terrible company. I have never tried anything from them I am not going to lie I don't know if anyone in this area even sells it. Hopefully people will stay away from this brand
Thanks so much Carrington! It was definitely an interesting experience. I still have a few dresses from them that I love but the clothing went downhill after I left lol.
If you don’t want to answer this, I understand. Was DeAnne the same when you joined, or were involved with the company? I’m talking about her philosophy about “getting on your knees every day for your husband” basically so he won’t be upset about all the money you spend on products. I find it strange that she is/was mormon, and thats not really something people of that faith talk about, especially in front of thousands of people. She kinda sounds like she would be better selling Pure Romance products. 😂
@@XLindsLuvsPinkX Not a problem at all! That's a valid question and you'll be happy to know that DeAnne and I do NOT share the same beliefs lol! As far as DeAnne being the same person when I joined - do you mean in relation to now? If so, I feel like not much has changed. A zebra never changes it's stripes, after all. I met her in person once and she made me feel invisible, unimportant and unworthy. Why people were obsessed with this woman, I will never understand. She did, in fact, say inappropriate things like that (both of them did) and honestly, it made me feel icky. I guess my marriage is different because my husband and I are more private and have a mutual respect for one another and don't feel the need to give out special favors in exchange for a shopping spree lol! I found it very weird as well! I am not Mormon but I have friends that are and that behavior is very uncharacteristic. And while things like this were being said, it was very much encouraged to "cover up" when presenting the clothing - super contradicting! But after coming across some of their newest creations, it looks like they may have changed their tune in terms of modesty. I don't follow or keep in touch with anyone from the company so I don't know if this is due to a change in beliefs or a desperate attempt to remain relevant amongst the ever-changing trends.
I’m a Christian (I tell people “in general”, because I’m not a bible thumper or anything) and I just find it ridiculous when people try to push their beliefs on others, ESPECIALLY when they make it part of their business. Amway I think is the most religious MLM I’ve heard of, but other companies or sales reps still use it as a basis for selling and recruiting. It’s ok with me if it’s an underlying base, but it gets insane when companies have conventions or meetings where they come on stage, or otherwise start with something like “Let’s all take a moment to praise God for putting this company in our path, so to give us the “opportunity” to make more money and become financially free!”. Yes, God wants you to have enough money to support yourself or your family, but he also doesn’t want you to feel stressed and pressured all the time, or love bomb you because it’s a slimy way of keeping you in the business. Then what’s even worse is when you do leave, you become enemy #1, and are told you didn’t want it enough or didn’t work hard enough. Even worse, companies that rely on religion and say things like “Well, Im sorry you didn’t do what you needed when God called you to this company”, or otherwise use it in a way that heavily suggests that you’re faith isn’t strong enough. I could go on and on, but you get the point. Were you a part of the LuLaRich documentary? I know I said I’ve never seen you before, but your face does seem a bit familiar. I also wanted to say that you personally responding to my comment kinda feels (to me) like talking to a celebrity. I have like 2 or 3 other RU-vidrs that I love that have responded to me, and I keep those responses in my email because they make me feel good lol.
I agree. And I'm a Christian as well but I would never push my beliefs on anyone else. You are so right. Religion is weaponized. I'm all about gratitude but they use it a an excuse to recruit and create connections but once someone decides to leave, you're non-existent. I was completely ostracized - they were interested when they wanted me to make money for the company but were not understanding when I felt it was time to leave. And yes, I've actually heard the "you're faith isn't strong enough" bit previously. Not okay to twist that. No, I wasn't part of the documentary but you may have run across some of my photos online or on Pinterest (I have a blog as well!)... or maybe I just have one of those faces haha!! Aw! Well thank you!! I'm just a normal gal but you saying that makes my day :-)
Thank you for telling your story. I'm watching now, so maybe you mention this, but I think you could create your own designs and sell them online. There are also indy pattern creators and sellers, if you are interested in that aspect of fashion. Back to the video.
New sub! I appreciate your authenticity and STYLE and will check out your site. So happy you stuck with your dreams, desires and passion. *also you are very pretty & I don't think women say that enough to other women!
i enjoyed your video-just facts and your personal experience, but not bashing or putting this “company” down. sounds like you’ve got a nice hubby. also, i ❤️ your style.! you are just so adorable. i’ll look at some more of your vids.
Thank you SO much! You don't know how much I appreciate it. Absolutely. I understand that there are women (and men) still in it and they are happy. It's not my place to judge :-) My hubby is an absolute angel! So lucky to have him and his support (even if it doesn't always work out lol!). Aww thank you!! I'm happy to hear it!!
There are no words like "hater" or "you're negative" in business. This is a cult mentality that makes people feel abandoned and ostracized for quitting before they are totally ruined.
Ok, I can't stand MLMs in general, lularoe in particular, and I wouldn't buy their clothes, BUT.. I freaking LOVE all the outfits you put together and shared pics of in this video!!! Colorful, chic, floral, polka dots, hot pink, that is all so my style😍😍😍 I'm definitely gonna try to put those outfits together for myself lol😋
Ok I always laugh at how hideous LLR clothing is but you did a great job styling it. That black skirt with the neon green polka dot shirt is a super cute outfit.
I understand you might not remember with this being an older video, but I think it’s such a gorgeous lip stick colour and I haven’t seen anything this shade! 🥰
I just subscribed & I will check out your blog & Instagram. This is my first video & what I kept thinking is when you where showing the pictures of you putting together a look with LuLuRo clothes, I said to myself she did the impossible, she made amazing outfits out of LuLuRo clothes ❣ Now I am not trying to be mean towards LuLuRo clothes, but in my opinion, anytime I seen pictures of outfits put together with LuLuRo, I didn't like them at all. It was like maybe a shirt was cute but they wouldn't have anything in their collection to put with that shirt to make an outfit. 🙄this year for some reason I have gotten lost as far as style goes, looking for help anywhere I can get it👗 My point is happy I came across your channel, looking forward other videos. ✌
I got 2 pair of leggings that I put the first pair on & Luckily made coffee. While standing in front of my coffee pot, booth sides but cheeks came out. The leggings were split just under my butt! Never bought more until My Friend sold off Everything for $5/each
OH NO!! Ugh! It never happened to me personally but I also wore the dresses more than I wore the leggings. It did happen to a customer of mine and it was such a heart breaking situation since I didn't have a secondary print of the one she bought. Luckily, she was at home too! That was around the time I got out and it went downhill from there. I just can't believe that they were sending defective leggings out left and right.
Correct!! They did this for a few reasons. Firstly, they strongly encouraged us to upsell so instead of selling just one item, consultants would create a full outfit in hopes of selling all pieces. The print mixing was a "thing" and Lularoe wanted to capitalize on that. Secondly, as the prints got increasingly worse, consultants decided to style things together in order to sell these items. For example, if there was a pair of leggings that wasn't selling then they would style it with a top of a more desirable print and sometimes, a third piece like a kimono or cardigan. In order to get the "unicorn" print, you'd have to buy all items in the outfit including the undesirable ones. I didn't do this but many consultants did. Lastly, in terms of "only wearing Lularoe," they basically wanted us to be walking billboards. And of course, as a "boutique" you'd want to wear items from it as part of your marketing strategy but you wouldn't want it to be your entire outfit. That's where I drew the line. The patterns were so wild that they often clashed and I would style items with non-Lularoe items, which was very much looked down on.
@@LizzieinLace Well, you have great taste, so they should've taken that as an advantage. But seeing as they are an MLM that was the least of their interests. It's good you're out of there.
@@theknitwit7098 That's the million dollar question LOL! Actually, the consultants have always been the customers so if the products sold themselves, they wouldn't be able to profit off of everyone else.
Why would you ever start selling it to begin with? Seems like a MLM that rips both the seller and buyer off (I personally always saw photos of the clothes 1 they look cheap and 2 hideous) you definitely deserve better!!!
I actually went into a lot of detail about why I started in my video :-) There are a few reasons but that should clear it up so feel free to give it a watch! I started in 2015 before they got "big" - the quality was actually much better then and they actually had better prints (if you can believe it lol). By the end of that year, things started to go downhill in terms of quality, prints, management, and much more. I covered all of this in my video as well in the red flags and why I quit sections. I don't disagree with you though and I value your input. Thank you for sharing your thoughts
@@Ballieanimation Oh yes! Sorry for the confusion :-) Oh wow!! It's really interesting because I'm not the type of person that would get into this... yet I did haha! I'm cautious about things like this and do research on everything. I also did get scammed by a "college" as well years ago - I'll have to share that at a different time but I guess it happens even to people when they *think* they are being cautious and making the right decision. I think my decision to start Lularoe was very much driven by my passion for fashion. I felt desperate to fulfill my lifelong dream after so many doors closed for me previously. I also was in a very different place mentally with my self-confidence and the circumstances in my life were much different. I feel like this is something that they should have touched on more in the documentary as I'm sure many can relate. I guess you live and you learn :-) Thank you so much for that!! I appreciate it so much
Thanks so much for sharing this Amber! I wish I had known when I was younger. I did actually work at a couple of clothing stores but I was told so many different things when it came to this area. I just didn't have the guidance, means or education. I've learned a lot along the way though and although, I've found a different way in, it's also still in progress and much different than I imagined, which is very exciting! It all works out :-)
This is the EXACT thing that Mary Kay pulls. Except MaryKay products were good. The idea was the same. Buy buy buy; recruit, recruit recruit. They convince people to go into deep debt. I am not a fan of MLM’s
I actually do like Mary Kay products as well. I don't know if they have it anymore but I used to love Satin Hands. I feel like this is the goal for so many MLM's and it just breaks my heart. Most people join for a positive change but end up experiencing the exact opposite :-(
@@LizzieinLace it takes courage to admit a mistake and then correct it. Many of the people still doing it must feel it is still worthwhile. Cannot imagine why. Maybe they are afraid to admit how deeply they are into it. Sending love and best wishes from your fan.
LOL!! To be honest, I think a lot of people would confuse the names (even I did at first). And I suppose that you could say that about the leggings (although LLR were definitely NOT made for working out in, no matter how much they tried to say they were haha!)
I think you are really cute and bubbly *and* mature: your intelligence shows through. Also, slender, so not needing gastric band or hair dye or dental work. No wonder Deanne rolled her eyes---"Nothing i can do with this one, can't manipulate her." You are the genuine article.
If I had to wear those ugly clothes 24/7, I would go insane. Not a fan of this line. Not only is it a pyramid scheme, it's a pyramid scheme with awful clothes. So glad you got away from them.
LOL!! This made me giggle! Surprisingly, the designs weren't terrible early on but after it went downhill very quickly haha. I'm glad too!! There is no way that I was going to be forced to only wear Lularoe!
You made a big mistake when you thought you knew how you wanted your life to go. I am 62, and I know how that goes - VERY BADLY! You are much better off being light and flexible. Spend as little as [possible, save as much money as possible. No matter how bad things get, understand that things can always get worse. There is no bottom, no limit to just how bad things can get. Why do you think there is such an interest in MLM's? It is horribly brutal out there!
Thank you for your insight! I totally understand where you are coming from. I've definitely been in much worse situations than this MLM but I choose to see the positive in bad situations and I always try to remain optimistic. I'm becoming much more flexible with life in general, which I think is a good thing. But I don't think it's a bad idea to have goals rather than just existing day to day. You have some great advice though. Thank you for sharing!
