We have done plenty of things in the past: Tupperware (manager, even), Avon, even Quixtar. The tough parts were always convincing people they needed things that they could get elsewhere, get cheaper, or just didn't need, or want. At least with Tupperware and Avon your family and friends don't start hiding from you or treating you like you have leprosy. Selling a business to people gets even more sticky.
So, why am I doing it again? This time is different. Very different. We have motivation. We have need. We have a product everyone IS using, so there is no convincing. And we believe in this business whole-heartedly. It is exciting!
I'd love to show you are products and also offer you the same, exciting opportunity we have been given. In this time of recession, it is the perfect opportunity to start a business.
Check out the May 2008 issue of Inc. magazine.
The perfect time, a recession, with the perfect products, things everyone buys already, with the perfect reason, Donnie soon to be out of a job; all combine to make this a perfect opportunity for us!
There are still heart-aches and struggles. Fears to overcome. We are well on our way to an exciting life! This blog will be where I post the problems, the successes, the fun, and the best resources and things to know about marketing and owning a home business.

Hope everything works out for you and your family!
The thing about life is that, nothing ventured, nothing gained. You might go after something, a dream or whatever, and though you might not end up getting exactly what you wanted, you end up still getting something out of going after it : experience. And experience is one heck of a thing to have.
Don't worry about the lack of support from friends or family - as you say in your later post, it's times like these that show you who your real friends are and who's just dead weight. Shed the dead weight and keep moving my dear.
