Default husband support

My husband thinks I should get a job although I tried to do that since May. I have been having sleep issues on and off for a year. Right now I'm on hormones, Ambien and yesterday got Trazodone. I just don't think I have the energy for a "real" job. Id rather set my own hrs lke Ameriplan has to offer.
Anyone have to deal with their husband's"unbelief"?

Hey girl. I think a husband's disbelief has happened to some of the best people in Ameriplan! My husband was skeptical too. A good thing you could do is have him listen into one of the business overview calls so that he can get a sense of what the company is all about. These calls go over in detail information about the company, the business opportunity and how we all get paid. You should ask whoever you are thinking of enrolling with to get you that number so that you and your husband can jot down all questions. Then when you speak with your enroller again, you can have your questions answered which will help you make an informed decision if this company is what you are looking for.

Ameriplan is a great company that has a 17 year old track record. We are with many of the top 500 fortune companies such as sears, walgreens, CVS and Target. Companies like that wouldn't sign with businesses that are not legitimate.

It is very important that you feel comfortable with your decision. Get as much information on Ameriplan as you can before you decide if this is what you want. Talk with your husband. Once you start generating checks, your husband will come around. ;-)

I encouraged him to call the phone number and find out more about it. I'm not against working just working and Ameriplan. My sleep medicine does not always work.

I agree with the comments above. Personally, I haven’t had an issue with my husband being skeptical. He was just happy to have me home instead of always working. However, my issue was with him not understanding that I’m actually “working” – he just seems to think I play on the internet and talk to friends on the phone all day LOL

But I would say most have had skeptical husbands especially at first. However, what usually happens is that once they start seeing the “fruit of their labor” and that the business actually does work, that skepticism turns into “Cool, so when do I get to retire and come home too?”.

Default Husband

My husband is supportive of me. He is supportive of me even though he has failed in an MLM. He was going to try the Vemma system. If you honestly ask him he will say that he did not try at it. He did not like the taste of it so it was hard for him to sell something that he really did not like. Also, I am an extended breastfeeding mom and you are not supposed to use Vemma if you are breastfeeding. He did not know that and thought that the Vemma was going to be good for me. We still have I think four or five bottles. I might start taking it after I wean my daughter (just to get rid of the stuff).

Even though he failed, he likes the idea of Ameriplan and thinks that this is a better fit for us than Vemma (which I did offer to try and do with him if he wanted to try it again, but he said no and seems to think Ameriplan will work).

I looked around for a "green" MLM that I could work but I did not find any that I really liked.

We are a very green family (yes my daughter is cloth diapered).

I think we really did look around for the "right" one for us and this one seems to be the one.

Jen, I don't see a lot of jobs out there. I told my husband that if the perfect job was out there I would apply and hope for the best but I need SOMETHING to do in the meantime. Then in the back of my mind I am hoping that I do well enough with Ameriplan that it does not make sense financially for me to work outside the home.

Just tell your hubby you want SOMETHING to do while you look for work and then do both. You said you want to do Ameriplan part time right? So if you do it part time then you should tell be able to spend an extra hour or two a day looking for work still.

I would say the same as Karen...if your hubby wants you to get a job, you can still "look" for one while you do AmeriPlan. If you can work AP consistantly enough it won't take you long to be making what you would make at a part time job anyway. What I usually tell people is that by the time you will actually find a job and start working it, you could have your AmeriPlan business built up enough to possibly make the same, but with AP it's only a matter of months or a few years before you surpass what you would make with a J.O.B .

Husbands tend to be skeptical, but what worked for me and my hubby was being reasonable about starting AP. I'm going to respond why I chose AP over another company in your other post which will help this post make sense as to how I had to convince my hubby to let me try AP lol...but if you are reasonable and your hubby is too then it's just a matter of time before he sees that you really want to do this. But, then you have to follow through and really work consistantly so you can make money with it, otherwise it will be something that he can use and say "well you were going to make money with AP but that never happened" or something like that.

We all want you to make money as I'm sure you do too lol!

I can relate to this. Some hubby's will never get it. I hope you don't let that stop you from building a business for you. Even if you get a job and work outside the home still keep working your business consistently. Don't ever Quit!
