Short Term Gains
- I did really well in the beginning, but after I exhausted my friends and family business slowed WAY down. I was my best customer and then reporting my income at tax time became hard, it was hard to explain a continuous loss.

Home party
- Keep your hostess near the jewelry and make sure she is trying on pieces! Also make sure the food is near your displays if it is in another room you loose your buying guests!

I spent more than I made
- By the time I bought the desserts and spent more than the credit I earned, I was in the red. Beware of the temptation to make it a blowout party unless that's your real motivation from the beginning.

It was hard!
- I really loved the products but I am so not a sales person. A friend of mine started at the same time with a different company. She is still doing very well. I wound up doing it for the discount.
