My husband gets just as excited about freebies as I do. But then he doesn't take my income very seriously and just wants me to have fun with PC.

I bought him a couple items in February and the one he has used he is loving (the DCB). The other things are still in boxes while we wait for the construction to finish (next tuesday they tell me). He is so excited to be making 30 minute chicken in the DCB and he has dinner and lunches for the week.
 
Tell DH that I just recieved a mid-month check for $1,079 and that was for 5 shows. I still have 12 more shows to submitt this month. We are going to Atlantis in May. I have taken my DH to Montreal, Miami, Alaska and a Carribean Cruise. The whole family has been to Hawaii, Florida w/cash and Disney. Until this year I only did 8-10 shows a month.

The real money isn't the shows, it's the downline.

Oh...my DH didn't want me to sell PC. He thought I was too sensitive and shouldn't try it.

I just made $400,000 in carreer sales last week and I am $1,200 away from my 4th TPC!! This is a great business if you know your products and can pick up the phone!

You can do this!!! Once he has been on a free trip you will be addicted to PC's level of accomadations. Only the best will do!

...with PC. I'm a new consultant, very excited about this, wanting to make some $$ for our family. My DH basically said that the products are overpriced, etc. What do/did you ladies do when people put your business down?

Thanks,
Michelle

It's sad to hear people put down our business or talk about PC being too pricey, but it's really tough when it's your hubby. I hope he will be more supportive but as someone else suggested, only you can prove him wrong. And not to spite him or to say "I told you so" but to say "Isn't this business wonderful!" And have him agree with you. That would be nice.

This has always been a hobby of mine and my hubby is very supportive. With four kids and one on the way he wants me to have something of my own to have fun with and to earn FREE products with. We are blessed financially with my hubby's job so that I don't have to earn an income for our family! I homeschool, and can be home with all my kiddos every day!!
