Now there is a UNIQUE idea. I know that if I saw a website on that card. I would check it out!

Ohh boy did I have some fun with them...at first. I played like "Columbo" (the detective) and acted as if I had never heard of their opportunity. It was interesting to see the various sales techniques. I also learned a lot about each of them! (I got THEIR business cards)

I think the are growing over here because almost everyone I know is starting to approach me! (SPOOKY..almost CULT LIKE)

I too read this book...and you are CORRECT! It was like a Maven hunt!

I can always appreciate someone trying to make it. It just got a little frustrating when I was trying to leave the bookstore and kept being approached...The last person "caught" me while I was leaving the bookstore!

Thanks Julie!
