I tried to do the "personal use" thing but it got to be more of a hassle than anything else.  When it came time to stay active with the $200 minimum order, I just couldn't see myself ordering $400 worth of inventory for it to just sit around my house.  So, for me, it wasn't worth it.

I know that you received a lot of responses to your other posts so I'm hoping that the advice given there is helping you make your decision.  Don't put so much pressure on yourself to "push the dream".  Keep your current customers, stay active by servicing them, and hopefully your "burned out" feeling will subside.  As long as your director isn't harassing you (like mine was) you should be fine.

By the way, if you do decide to leave MK, I'm sure those friends you made will continue to be your friends.   

The personal use consultant line is such a lie. You are told that you only have to order $200 to stay active, but then every 3 months you are getting a call from your recruiter or director about placing your order to stay active! And that $200 has to be at one time, it's not cummulative. It's very misleading.

If you love the products, it's best to purchase them from a fellow consultant you want to support or purchase from this forum (or other like it) from consultants liquidating their inventory - there are plenty of those!

I sort of got to the same place. I was just tired of hounding people for orders or parties or referrals. . . you can only go back to the same well so many times (something I don't think my director understood). I have decided to work my business just enough to have my $200 every three months (and I was a Star Consultant every quarter since I started). With a base of 30 solid customers, I'll have no problem. And you could easily do that too. With a base of 5 customers you could order your $200 every year, just let your customers know when you order and for them to stock up.

I wouldn't worry about it. Because this MK opportunity is such a scam, she'll probably drop out on her own anyway, and soon.
If she ends up just selling the product to some customers or being "personal use", she doesn't need a director or recruiter above her hounding her like crazy to order more than she can sell!

Hi MPBB - as far as I know, only a National director is able to move consultants from unit to unit. You cannot change your recruiter or have a recruit assigned to someone else. Even if your National moves her to another director's unit, she would still be your recruit (and I'm not sure that she can separate the two of you into two units - but not totally clear on the rules of that, so that might be possible).

One of the goals I hope to attain this month is to have at least 20 classes with at least $200 in sales each because I want to complete the 20/20 Club challenge. The hostess gift, the pink wrap, feels wonderful and the so ever cute floral storage bag, it goes together so wonderfully.

You know its been a while since I posted this thread and looking at it makes me realize how far I have come in my 'recovery...'

Then seeing PinkFlower's post about some 20/20 thingy makes me realize how VERY VERY far I have come...

will you be able to order from the company from japan? or will you have to sign up as a new consultant there? just curious- I just can't imagine that the company in USA would ship US MK products  to japan-- but I know they have manufacturing for MK japan, etc in other countries- its just something I was curious about.
