I just got this email from the Lemon Aid Lady. It's really great!

This is the second in a 2-part series of how the Direct Sales Industry and Party Plan People
stimulate the economy by adding jobs to many companies:

AT THE PARTY

When guests come to the party, they usually drive (remember she invited people from
allllllll over). They are using gasoline and automobiles to get there, or even the local
mass transit system, all of which employ people. If they didn't want to bring their
children and hubby is at work or out of town, your guests might hire a teenager to watch
the kids. A teenager who will keep the malls in business with the wages they receive.


BEHIND THE SCENES--MANUFACTURING

Now your guests arrive and BUY YOUR PRODUCT! Who are they helping? Not just you and your
hostess but also the factory that manufactures your product. The employees of the factory
are not the only ones involved. Think of the people who work in the factories of the
vendors who supply materials to your company's factory. In many cases your company uses
several factories and numerous vendors! Think of alllllllll the people each of these
employ.

BEHIND THE SCENES--HOME OFFICE

Your company also has management support teams who assist you in your business. These
departments range from accounting to computer support to marketing to training to the
building engineers who keep the facilities clean. Each of these departments use
computers, paper, office furniture, utilities, and other supplies. You are helping each of
them retain their positions along with the people who work for the companies providing the
services and products they consume.


INFLUENCING GUESTS

Now you're excited and so is your hostess because everyone thanks you both for having the
party to get them out of their homes and away from the bad economic news on TV, radio and
Internet. They are so thrilled to see your sunny smile, pleasant personality and feel of
your selfless service as you teach them about how your product will benefit them. They
have FUN!!! Several guests schedule their own parties, and the cycle multiplies.

YOUR PERSONAL ECONOMY

But wait! You just earned some big bucks!! Now you can go pick up the lay away (yes,
people are using this system again) you had at the mall, pay for your son's soccer
registration, invest in some of your favorite stocks, take the family out for a
celebration dinner, and on and on. How many people's lives will you bless by shopping,
eating out, investing?

RECRUITING ADDS TO THE ECONOMY

But there is more! As you continue to do this you'll be a "people magnet" who will attract
others to join your team, and there will be more consultants to service more hostesses who
will add to the economic stability in more people's lives. Futhermore, the more people
who have more paychecks, the more they'll have purchasing power at your parties from other
businesses--this really is a sharing industry.

This keeps getting better...as you sell more of your product and share with more people,
you qualify for your company's car program and/or earn promotional gifts. Can you do the
"lemon link" yourself and picture who has a job because you've done yours so well?

BEYOND YOUR BACKYARD

The best news: you realize you've qualified for the incentive trip!!! Hooray! Hooray!!!!
Now, you just keep helping more and more people. Your company contracts with a travel
service all run by real human beings who make all the arrangements. They purchase airline
tickets, ground transportation, hotel accommodations, local entertainment and yummy food!!
Additionally, you take your own spending money and add to the location's tourism business.
Putting more paychecks in more people's pockets.

WOW!!!! Can you see the potential impact you have for MILLIONS of people who lives you
can reach without
actually touching or meeting them? Can you see the way direct selling professionals can
give our nation and others an economic jumpstart?
