Here's The Secret Of...

[TALuke]

Being a big girl.  I have gone through yet another major life event, the birth of my twins and I cannot believe how much they have taught me in the 10 months they have been here.  Being a Mom is a big deal, at least it should be.  I really have to know who I am in order to know what I want to instill in my boys.  Here are a few things I've learned....

#1) I'm tired people taking advantage of me.  For example.  I am a business owner who likes to offer a phenom jump start program.  Gullible me decides that I'd like to help people out and PAY their start up fee.  This will get them going and they can either continue with the business or go back to watching All My Children and eating bon-bons.  Well, you guessed it....I reimburse the fee and then I get emails saying they are canceling because they don't have the money to continue.  I'm just going to be blunt here, but didn't they know they didn't have the money BEFORE they joined?  This is just plain crap.  I wasn't raised that way.  The old "Do unto others" motto still rings in my ears. I'm old, but not that old.

#2) I'm going to voice my opinion regardless of what others think.  This is pretty self explanatory, so I'll save the drama, but if you've been here on CafeMom for an extended period of time, you know what I'm NOT saying here.  "It's better to be hated for who you are than be loved for who you're not"....enough said.

#3) I'm done sharing my businesses.  I am a Shaklee Distributor and a Soylicious.com Consultant. I have found that a lot of moms on here have no interest in putting forth the effort that is required to build and maintain any sort of business.  They are too busy trying to get rich with the latest Billionaire Matrix crap that promises riches if you invest $300 and recruit 18,000 people.  Thanks, but no.  Get out of la-la land and come back to earth.  Bill Gates didn't start this way, you aren't going to either. I can post my legitimate opportunities until the cows come home and no one cares.

#4) I'm staying away from the downers.  There is nothing worse than seeing a "friend" post a thought bubble that says "I wish I was dead" or "I am so miserable right now."  Either do something about your situation or shut up about it.  I simply don't have time for negative people in my life. I'm more than willing to help anyone out there, but most people don't want help.  Misery doesn't need company.  Solitary confinement is a much better choice.

I am going to teach my children to be positive men who speak their minds (within reason) and help others who want to be helped.  I believe in God, family, love and respect.  The world has turned into a place I don't recognize anymore and I am going to preserve my little piece of it the best way I know how.

Thanks for listening.
