A mom friend of mine called me a couple weeks ago and mentioned that her daughter was being ‘courted’ by several people who have direct sales businesses. Her daughter could really use the extra income right now, but Mom was concerned her daughter would pick one that wasn’t the right fit. Did I have time to talk with her?
Of course! I was more than happy to talk to her.
Here’s the gist of our conversation.
Me: So ... tell me, what amount of extra income are you looking for? And is it income you’ll rely on in the coming years? Or just enough to get you through this bizarre rough spot (called Covid-19) we all find ourselves in right now.
(We’ll call her Amy): We really need an extra $300 a month for now. But if our jobs don’t grow and our income doesn’t go up in maybe 12 months, we’re going to need more than that for the long-haul.
