Why Are You So Negative?
To the Owner of Pink Truth:
I really would like to know why you are so negative. My stomach turned as I read some of the headlines on your website.
Obviously, you had a bad experience, but why perpetuate negativity. Any business anyone gets into, not just Mary Kay there will be dippy days. I tell my consultants that. It is not a walk in the park, but with persistence and continually learning more, you can be successful. It is up to you.
Obviously, you were not successful. But speaking badly about others is not Biblical nor the right thing to do, even if you are not a Christian. You are obviously making a living off of encouraging disappointment and others misfortune.
Instead of being so negative, why not encourage people. Read any other company – everyone has dippy days and times. It is how you handle it, determines how you succeed. Please consider stopping making money off of people who are discouraged.

Ohhh, Tracy, she thinks she’s pwning you sooooo haaaaard…
Websites like this don’t make money and in fact cost money to run, aside from whatever is offset by ad revenues. Tracy makes her living off hersuccessful forensic accounting business, which is slightly more complicated than buying makeup off a website and text-bombing women you’ve just met.
As for speaking nicely being Biblical, there’s a lot of not nice stuff in the Bible. The flood, the un-parting of the Red Sea on top of the Egyptian army, the Passover, the story of Abraham and Isaac, the moneychangers in the temple…
I’ve always had a fondness for John 2:13-17. Whenever people used to say to me as a child what would Jesus do, I’d point out that braiding a whip and hitting those trying to profit from others was always a possibility.
It wasn’t the answer they were expecting.
Wait until she reads yesterday’s post!

“I really would like to know why you are so negative” – it’s pretty simple. Women are getting fleeced into purchasing hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars worth of MK product based on false income claims.
“[W]ith persistence and continually learning more, you can be successful” – then why are you constantly recruiting new consultants? Are they quitting MK because they’re successful?
Speaking the truth is Biblical. See John 8:32. (Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free)
I really would like to know why you are so negative. My stomach turned as I read some of the headlines on your website.
Better negative than full of toxic positivity. And as for why your stomach is churning, you’ve started to realise that the Pink Bubble is fake. You are forming an understanding of why MK isn’t a good thing.
Obviously, you had a bad experience, but why perpetuate negativity. Any business anyone gets into, not just Mary Kay there will be dippy days.
If it was just one person, then maybe. But it’s not one person, it’s many women with the same experience. What you naively call negative, was the lived experiences of many women.
And “dippy days”, you’re supposed to be a Big Girl Boss running her own legit business not a kindergarten teacher.
I tell my consultants that. It is not a walk in the park, but with persistence and continually learning more, you can be successful. It is up to you.
Having told my money-makers, it’s simple and any-one can make a profit in pockets of time, I’m now having to brow-beat them with more fake promises.
Obviously, you were not successful. But speaking badly about others is not Biblical nor the right thing to do, even if you are not a Christian.
Does it matter how successful some-one is when the premise is flawed? No, it doesn’t.
As for being Biblical, speaking the truth is a Biblical command, lying is a big no. And since I’m not a Christian I shouldn’t be held to Christian moral standards.
You are obviously making a living off of encouraging disappointment and others misfortune.
While people in MK and other MLMs are actively making thee disappointments and misfortunes to their down-lines.
Instead of being so negative, why not encourage people. Read any other company – everyone has dippy days and times.
We are encouraging people, to get out of MK and return their inventories. You never hear of a CEO talking about Dippy Days tm, except maybe for Musk. Because it’s Not Professional.
It is how you handle it, determines how you succeed. Please consider stopping making money off of people who are discouraged.
Yes, Tracy, stop making money off discouraged people. Leave that to the professional Dippy Day Ladies at Mary Kay.
Dippy Days makes me think of Dippin’ Dots, and now I want ice cream even though it’s 35 degrees and slushing outside 🙁
For those who don’t know – Dippin’ Dots were small frozen pellets of ice cream a bit smaller than peas that could be scooped up and served like a dry product. They were A Thing in the late 90s-early 00s in the heyday of shopping malls. They were so cold they didn’t stick together. They were also too cold to eat until they warmed up and partially melted, which kind of ruined the effect.
Dippin’ Dots filed for bankruptcy in 2011 due to market saturation in the ice cream novelty sector, kind of like how a certain cosmetics company’s consultants just about can’t give product away because the market is so saturated.
I’ve had dipping dots in my area. They’re still around…yummy.
More importantly, narcissists use these actions when confronted: deny, attack and then reverse victim and abuser. Deny: MK is not to blame. We’re wonderful.
Attack: this is your fault because you didn’t work hard enough.
Reverse: we’re the victims because you say bad things to us.
If Tracy is not making money from this why is she doing this? In order to help others who have been lied to and lured into this idea that MK is a real business. We are the victims of this scam. Our money has been manipulated from us. But yet it’s all our fault and we should stay quiet? When you’re ready to leave the pink fog we’re here to help you. I can’t speak for everyone but for me this is important work to use my voice and show how much of a farce MK is. I worked hard in MK for a long time and there was no profit for many reasons. It’s set up that way. I was lucky to get out and it was because of this wonderful website that I was able to get back some of my money. Thank you Tracy!
“Instead of being so negative, why not encourage people.”
I encourage everyone stuck in MLMs like Mary Kay to seek opportunities where everyone in the business, from the top to the bottom, makes positive income. No MLM downline in any MLM, since the beginning of time, has been able to be profitable as a whole. No matter which point you choose to start (pick any MLM rep at any level), from that point and downward, as a whole, the money spent by the downline greatly exceeds what they make in return. This is true whether viewing this from a kingpin at the top, or a lowly SD near the bottom.
It is not “negative” to encourage folks to seek companies able to produce “positive” income for everyone involved. Mary Kay reps simply don’t realize the system is designed to take more money from the IBCs than it gives in return. It is impossible to make any MLM system like Mary Kay profitable as a whole. This “negative” reality is the nature of MLMs like Mary Kay.
So please, don’t “shoot the messenger” when folks with genuine interest in your well-being try to steer you clear of these money losing systems.
Oh honey, bless your heart. That first step off your high horse is going to be a b*tch. Tuck and roll…. tuck and roll.
This is patently ridiculous. Of course, every business has “Dippy Days,” even though no self-respecting professional would dream of putting it that way. I’m in the midst of a month of “Dippy Days” right now in my professional sales job. But you know what? It isn’t COSTING me money to have a few down days in sales. I’m still getting paid my base pay, still earning benefits, still have job protection. And I can demonstrate with actual, professional forecasts that January will be much better. “Dippy Days” in Mary Kay meant months when my unit didn’t make production and I was so brainwashed by the “glamour” of my title that I put $2,000+ in wholesale products on MY credit card so MK didn’t take it all away from me.
And as for success coming if you just work enough and BEE-LIEVE enough? I call BS, and so does the FTC. 99.6% of all consultants in any direct selling/network marketing/MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING scheme, including Mary Kay, will lose money, not earn it, regardless of how hard they work.
There is a world of difference between being negative and telling the truth. The truth is that Mary Kay is an excellent way to lose your hide and be made to feel like it was all your fault because you didn’t/weren’t _______ enough.
*yawn*
Wash and repeat
There’s an MLM for that! Monat I think?
“Dippy days.” I can’t. 😂
Fonts so juvenile that a 13 year old would cringe, feather boas at “business” events, cutesy “activity sheets” on which you put stickers once you’ve performed whatever task…dippy is immature enough to fit!
Dippy Days to The Tippity Top!
“There will be dippy days. I tell my consultants that.” I’m more concerned with what you tell potential recruits, not consultants.
Because for most women on this blog what we were told as a possible recruit was completely different from what we were told as a consultant. And that’s exactly why Pink Truth exists.
