Direct Sales isn't a joke. It's a lot of work and although they market this company as a great part-time gig, you really can't keep it going without putting in many, many hours. You need to constantly book shows and sponsor people into the business. Your calendar can implode at any given moment. Also, the company really pushes their religious ideology and political bend. They supposedly are in this business for the purpose of evangelization. Well, trust me, the family is making millions at the same time. That's fine and it's great that they "give back." I just got sick of hearing how it wasn't about the money but about bringing the light of Jesus to the ladies. It's a business, plain and simply. If you're ultra conservative, homophobic and believe that only Christians can go to heaven then go for it I guess.
