7. I used to be a Tupperware Lady.

That lasted all of about 2 months. Great product, but even back then, 40 years ago, it was overpriced. Everyone knew I sold it, so my friends avoided me because they didn't want to have parties. Meanwhile, the managers at the meetings shamed us for not having more parties. Then they gave us ways to persuade our friends to have them. Husband doesn't want a party? Have it at a friend's house. Don't have time? Name the time and we'll come. Etc. In other words, no doesn't mean no. I had a big problem with that. Most of the things I bought for demonstrations still sit empty in my upper cabinets. They just weren't necessary.

No, I won't cry crocodile tears if they go out of business. There are other options.
