I've been a MK consultant for 7 years, I had my car at one point but then decided to give it back. I didn't have to but I did, I can't explain why I did it the only logical thing is I was young and dumb...
Well I did get laid off from my regular job last week and was considering starting my business again but I don't know where to begin or how to get the motivation I had before. I did enjoy everything about MK, the people the product etc. I still use the products personally bt I need money and I know this would be great for me since I don't want to go back to corp america and I know we can't afford to just live off of my husbands income right now.
Any suggestions? Advice? Ideas? Thanks!

I sold Avon for many years. At first I knew I wouldn't have the income I wanted or needed to live off of. So I did most of my sales online. They had a website and I could direct people to the site. I also ordered things when they were on sale and made gift baskets. Went out to craft sales and did Avon parties at friends houses. Once I had enough clients I was able to quit my part time job and just sell Avon. I was ordering products for at least 150 people a month/ selling at markets counted to as a order to me. I also sold products individually, like things that i thought would sell at a party and did not. Also sold some gift packs online to. Just on ebay.
I say give it a try. Still look for a regular job, but also get back into it. If it was something that you enjoyed then give it a shot! It wont hurt to try.

Good luck with your Avon business sounds like you were doing good. I hear it's so hard too! Good Luck!
