Millennials look for a different way to work, and wonder if a Scentsy business would be a good fit. The millennial generation carries unique qualities and talents and opportunities. A lot of those would make a millennial a great fit as a Scentsy Consultant. Often, they get a bad wrap, but there are some definite benefits to the millennial generation as Scentsy Consultants.
Who is a Millennial
First, just to make sure we're all on the same page, what makes someone a millennial? The Pew Research Centerreports on data about Millennials and defines them as those born after 1980. They are the first generation to come of age in the new millennium. Below are some general characteristics of the Millennial generation.
Millennial Generation
According to research from Goldman Sachs, the Millennial generation is the largest in history with a whopping 92 million members! That is even larger than the Baby Boomer generation coming in at 77 million and Generation X which was even lower still at 61 million.
Technology generation
Millennials are the first generation to grow-up in the era of rapid technological innovation. They were born during smartphones, internet and the always-on digital world. As such, they are much more digitally connected than previous generations and use technology like texting, vlogging, messaging. They are particularly more likely to use social media platforms to communicate.
Debt generation
The Millennial generation is burdened with much more debt than previous generations. Student loan payments take up an increasing percentage of Millennial income after graduation. According to the Federal Reserve, the mean student loan balances of 25 year olds has practically doubled from just over $10,000 in 20013 to just over $20,000 in 2013.
Earning a Living
So now that we are more familiar with some of the characteristics of the Millennial generation, what do we know about what they want out of an occupation? Or really - what do they want, if anything, from the way they earn a living? There are lots of stereotypes about Millennials and lots of research about how to cater careers to Millennials.
Everyone gets it. Conventional wisdom holds that Millennials are entitled, easily distracted, impatient, self-absorbed, lazy, and unlikely to stay in any job for long. On the positive side, they’re also looking for purpose, feedback, and personal life balance in their work. Companies of all kinds are obsessed with understanding them better.
Actual Few Differences
The article goes on to suggest that more and more evidence is finding that there are few actual differences in Millennials and the rest of us. It continues -
While pithy descriptions of what makes Millennials unique are presented as self-evident and seem to have a ring of truth to them, very few are supported with solid empirical research. On the contrary, a growing body of evidence suggests that employees of all ages are much more alike than different in their attitudes and values at work. To the extent that any gaps do exist, they amount to small differences that have always existed between younger and older workers throughout history and have little to do with the Millennial generation per se.
The article continues to suggest that though there has been much said, studied, discussed and while stereotypes seem to abound, there just doesn't seem to be any real evidence of difference between the generations. It appears, according to this Harvard Business article, that there really is minimal differences in what the Millennial generation and the previous two (Generation X and Baby Boomers) want out of a career. The article states that -
For one, a group of researchers from George Washington University and the Department of Defense analyzed more than 20 published and unpublished studies examining generational differences and concluded that meaningful differences among generations probably do not exist in the workplace. The small differences that do appear are likely attributable to factors such as stage of life more than generational membership.
Overall Occupation Goals
So what does this all mean? My key takeaway is that Millennials, Generation X, and Baby Boomers are looking for the same type of benefits from an occupation. This is definitely not what I had supposed! I have done lots of research outlining the differences between Millennials and previous generations. And this article suggests that the differences are not attributable to generation, but rather life stage.
So if you are a Millennial, Generation X, or Baby Boomer, a Scentsy business could be a good fit. A good fit is if you like the freedom to work where and when you like, enjoy free travel, spending more time with family and friends, and making good money. If this sounds like you, then consider joining Scentsy and becoming a Scentsy Consultant.

Is Scentsy a Pyramid Scheme?
Pyramid Schemes
Every now and then I tell people how my husband and I support* our family with our Direct Sales business. Inevitably the conversation leads to this question, “Oh, so it’s like a pyramid scheme?”.
No, Scentsy is not a pyramid scheme. After a while, I began to wonder what exactly is a pyramid scheme. Why do so many people consider any direct selling business to be one?
What Is a Pyramid Scheme
So first, what is a pyramid scheme? When in doubt, turn to Wikipedia! 🙂 –
“Pyramid schemes—also referred to as franchise fraud or chain referral schemes—are marketing and investment frauds in which an individual is offered a distributorship or franchise to market a particular product. Participants earn the real profit, not by the sale of the product, but by the sale of new distributorships. Emphasis on selling franchises rather than the product eventually leads to a point where the supply of potential investors is exhausted and the pyramid collapses.”
Often, the term pyramid scheme is associated with direct selling businesses. However, it actually happens just as much if not more often in the financial sector.
Examples
I did a Google search for the term pyramid scheme. The first result was an article about a Montana woman. She pleaded guilty to using money from new investors to make payments to earlier investors, between 2008 and 2016. The article states that "she's accused of taking $1.5 million from 28 different people. At least four of the investors were identified as vulnerable persons because of their age, and one was mentally disabled."
That type of "business" is bad, and should get a bad wrap. It's also illegal (with good reason).
Here is an another article in Investopedia about pyramid schemes in the financial sector. There's also a great short video on that page explaining pyramid schemes.
How to Know if a Business Is Legitimate
Below is a video from the Direct Selling Association in Australia called "Understanding Illegal Pyramid Schemes". The video outlines they key points of how to identify whether a business is a legitimate direct selling business or a pyramid scheme.
vimeo id="145132190"
MLM organizations
Specifically with regards to Multi-level marketing organizations the same Wikipedia page states –
"...have a real product to sell. More importantly, MLM's actually sell their product to members of the general public, without requiring these consumers to pay anything extra or to join the MLM system. MLM's may pay commissions to a long string of distributors, but these commission are paid for real retail sales, not for new recruits."
Selling of Goods is Key
In summary, any business model in which members make money from the signup fee of someone else rather than any actual selling of goods or services is a pyramid scheme. Additionally, in exchange, the organization promises its new members a share of the money taken from every additional member that they recruit. If a percentage of your sign up fee goes directly to those who enrolled you, or if you are a member of a business that rewards you financially when someone joins under you – then you are part of a pyramid scheme.
The FTC also has more information at this link- FTC Pyramid Schemes - to help consumers understand the difference between legitimate direct selling businesses and scams.
So do I sell products? Absolutely! Scentsy has a fantastic brand with amazing, innovative products namely, Warmers, Diffusers, Buddies, Laundry, Skin, and, of course, it's very, very popular fragrances!
To buy Scentsy online simply visit my Scentsy Website to browse all of the fantastic items I sell.
Pyramid Scheme Promises
Pyramid Schemes come in all shapes and sizes but all make massive promises. Generally speaking, these schemes also leave their members, except the few at the top, worse off. This same Wiki page tells of about a dozen notable pyramid schemes all over the world. These businesses have caused riots and robbed thousands, if not millions, of people lots of money.
Pyramid schemes are illegal ploys to rob people. They promise an income to convince more and more people to pay the enrollment fee, of which they get a portion.
Structured to Defraud
In a Forbes magazine article by Nancy Collamer, she clarifies that “MLM’s are sometimes erroneously referred to as “pyramid schemes” – companies structured with the intent of defrauding the public”. These organizations are designed to make money, but NOT generated by the sale of any product or service. Money is made when individuals pay an enrollment fee - to a small group or individual at the top and are illegal.
Is Scentsy a Pyramid?
In Scentsy, I do get potential leadership bonuses from the amount my team sells. However, I don't get a sign-up fee when they join. I am paid for helping new team members join and start a successful business, selling actual products.
Many ask the question of how is a Scentsy consultant paid; can I really make money with Scentsy? You can watch this video I created to explain the Scentsy Compensation Plan and how we make money.

When developing Scentsy Skin, we developed entirely new formulas to create a premium line.

Could I Be An Awesome Scentsy Consultant?
Could You Be An Awesome Consultant?
Deciding if you are a good fit and could be an awesome Scentsy consultant is a common and important question. Here are four key things to consider:
1. First, it's helpful to make sure you are ready to start a Direct Sales business as a Consultant (if you're asking, I think you are!).
3. Additionally, choosing a good sponsor is important. Your sponsor can mentor you to get started as a Consultant, and keep building your business to success (I'll be here to help you!).
4. Lastly, YOU are the key ingredient. If you possess these qualities below (or want to work to get them), you really could be an awesome consultant.
My Consultant Experience
Joining Scentsy as an Independent Consultant is one of the best choices I have ever made. My husband and I have started multiple business. None have as been rewarding emotionally and financially as our Scentsy business.
A Team Mentor
My journey as a Scentsy Consultant began when I joined in 2008. During that time, hundreds of Consultants have joined my team. I love to help them grow their business and achieve their goals. My favorite part as a Consultant is mentoring my team, and I have even earned the Annual Mentor Award 6 times, so I have lots of experience with new team members.
I’ve seen hundreds if not thousands of Consultants join my team or other teams. Some become Consultants and rock and roll their business while others seem to fade and leave. I have stuck with it as a Consultant, so I think it's helpful to look at why some don't stay.
Why Some Quit
In the direct selling industry it’s said that at any given moment, one-third of your team is just starting, another third is really working, while another third is on their way out. Meaning they’ve hit some kind of obstacle and lost their drive and momentum to keep chasing their goals.
In the more than 15 years that I’ve been a Scentsy Consultant, I’ve seen plenty of great Consultants run into challenges. They lose steam and let their business fade away.
It could be a matter of bad timing with life.
Could also be that they were not comfortable coming out of their comfort zone, or maybe their team grew and they felt uncomfortable being a leader.
Maybe they felt unsupported by friends, family, co-workers etc. who held the stereotype of direct selling undermining the success of their friend.
Whatever the reason, people join and don’t capture whatever they envisioned in their head.
Who Will Be Successful with Scentsy?
So who will be an awesome Scentsy Consultant?
First, I can say that I’ve not found any demographic answer to who will be a successful Scentsy Consultant.
No single factor, regardless of background, education, income level, race, where you live or any other variable, seems to consistently show how much success you’ll achieve as a Scentsy Consultant. Even having past experience in direct selling isn’t a clear indicator.
I’ve seen individuals join Scentsy from all over the world from all backgrounds. Some come with amazing experience in direct selling – sellers of other brands with years of experience... and yet that doesn’t always translate into success with Scentsy.
If it’s not experience, education or any of these things that determine success what does?
Qualities of Awesome
There are a handful of things that I’ve observed that make a very real difference in how much success a Consultant is able to achieve.
What is so amazing and inspiring about the things I’ve observed are vital ingredients in the recipe for success is that they are characteristics that ANYONE can have. There is no monopoly on them so there is no reason anyone, from any background can become an amazing Scentsy Consultant.
1. Optimistic
The first is Optimistic.
No matter your background, years of direct selling or professional experience, you will be hard-pressed to achieve any significant Scentsy goals without overcoming obstacles. I’m not saying that the road to success is impossible or only for the real superheroes. But, like any real notable achievement, you will need to get comfortable out of your comfort zone and be able to overcome fears or skill gaps.
Whether it’s fear of failure, lower sales than planned, a potential recruit that declines, or some other thing – those who can lift up their head and optimistically move forward, win. Success as a Scentsy Consultant, is more attainable than most people realize. Whether you define success as trips, time with family, working from home, extra income or lots of income, it really can be yours. But without optimism people sell themselves short and give up. Optimism is the silver lining.
For example, because Scentsy is a very popular product, sometimes a product will sellout within hours. It’s a real bummer and I don't envy the employees who spend hours and hours estimating, calculating, and forecasting how much of a particular product to produce. It’s a thankless job and sometimes they get it wrong. But, what am I going to do? Complain that my products are so popular and wish I could join the countless numbers of other companies begging people to buy my product?
There is always a positive side to every news, training ourselves to find it is the trick. By no means does that mean we, as Consultants no longer carry the need to communicate to the company when they screw up. However, after that, the best course forward is with a positive attitude.
2. Team Player
The second is being a Team Player. We’re all in this together – life and Scentsy. To achieve any of the goals that people have with their Scentsy business, it’s imperative to have the ability to work with people that are different from you.
As your Scentsy business grows you will recruit people, possibly from all over the world where Scentsy is available, and they will be different than you.
I’ve found that those who join Scentsy with an attitude of “We’re all in this together” and help their fellow teammates and their downlines, really get their business off on the right foot.
3. Self Starter
Being a self-starter. In the more than 15 years I’ve been a Scentsy Consultant I’ve been at a leader level for almost 14 of those years. I’ve welcomed amazing new team members, and been super excited for them. I would put myself in their shoes and envision ways they could have awesome sales success and grow their team given their unique strengths. I often found that I was thinking more about their success than they were.
Every new Consultant asks me to help them grow their business, and I absolutely LOVE helping everyone achieve their goals. I am not a Scentsy Consultant just for the money, trips or anything else. Nothing is more motivating to me than to see the lives of my team change with their Scentsy business.
SO many have discovered they can be home with their kids and still bring home a good income, earn free trips for them and their significant other, help cover bills after a spouse is let go from work, or pay off pesky student loans. THAT makes it SO MUCH FUN.
That said, I discovered that when I held my new Consultant's hand, I actually did them a disservice. It robbed them a bit of the “baptism by fire” experience that fuels their drive. Since I could easily see them as a successful Consultant in my minds eye, I worked to help them. However, in the long run, they didn’t strengthen their self-starter muscles so they floundered.
Now, my approach is I don’t push or pull, I partner. I will work alongside you, recognize your success, cheer you on and help you overcome skill gaps or fears but I cannot earn you a trip or a promotion. And in the long-run, it is better that way. That seems so counter-intuitive but I’ve found it to be true.
4. Determination
If you could work hard for 2 years and earn a Doctor's salary would you do it? How many years do they work hard for a Bachelor’s degree, or a Masters, or even longer – to be a doctor?
I’ve seen both talented, promising individuals and seemingly untalented, and unpromising individuals join Scentsy and become Scentsy Consultants. I’ve seen people from both groups go on to experience massive success and people from both groups that let their business die.
Along with the other characteristics I’ve talked about, those that found success seemed able to keep on keeping on when confronted with obstacles. Not only that, they didn’t let life happen to them, they made goals and dreams with dream boards and pictures of what they wanted to earn or win sticky-tacked to the mirror in the bathroom or in their car. They decided what they wanted and worked to earn it, at all cost. The simple act of deciding what you want, writing it down, posting it all over the house, and doing whatever it takes to make it happen is very, very powerful.
Again, no one has a monopoly on determination, nor is it very complicated.
Determination is something that I cannot give or train, which makes it so vital to your success as a Scentsy Consultant.
I can help you make goals, I can even help make dream boards.
How well you make it happen and actually do it every day is up to you.
Few products get quite the same response as Scentsy Bricks.

Few products get quite the same response as Scentsy Bricks. A Scentsy brick, compared to the regular size Scentsy bar, is FIVE times bigger with 12 bulky break-apart cubes of goodness designed to be used with any Scentsy Warmer and envelop your space with your chosen fragrance. Each cube is humongous so when I say envelop your space I mean envelop! Each Scentsy brick is 47 fl oz. of amazing scented goodness with a net weight of 15 oz. That's a lot of Scentsy!
Like all of our Scentsy Wax, Scentsy Bricks are made of high-quality paraffin wax for long-lasting fragrance. As the cubes melt, they fill your space with your favorite holiday scent, inspiring imagination and memories. Safe to use — no wick, flame, smoke or soot and perfect for when family comes to visit! It makes the home feel like the holidays and puts everyone in a good mood so no one talks politics (right!?), kids behave like angels ;), and puts everyone in a joyful Holiday Spirit! So put on your favorite Holiday movie, bust out the egg nog, and flick a switch to turn on your favorite Scentsy warmer filled with one of these Scentsy Holiday Bricks and off you go to enjoy an amazing Holiday season!
So without any further delay, just for the 2019 Holiday Season, while supplies last, I’m excited to announce four new limited-edition, hand-poured in beautiful Idaho, USA - Scentsy fragrances for the holidays!
These fun, new Scentsy Scents are only available while supplies last and here they are -

There are 2 NEW fragrances to choose from and 4 Scentsy Bricks inspired by popular fragrances from our Scentsy Skin & Groom collection. Which, by the way, if you haven't tried the Scentsy Cream Shave Soap - you need to, it's awesome!

"Ribbons of Hope" Scentsy Breast Cancer warmerwill be available during the Fall catalog 2014 to benefit the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Scentsy will donate $7 from the sale of each Ribbons of Hope Breast Cancer warmer directly to NBCF.
**UPDATE: Scentsy has reintroduced Ribbons of Hope Breast Cancer Warmer in celebration of National Breast Cancer Awareness month for October 2015!!! Buy NBCF Scentsy Warmer online before it's gone again.
So, spread the word about the new Scentsy Breast Cancer warmer - this warmer is sure to sell quickly! Perfect for October and National Breast Cancer Awareness month.
The "Love, Life, Hope" previous Scentsy warmer benefitting NBCF was available during 2010, and was so successful that Scentsy has heard our requests and sponsored another Scentsy Breast Cancer Warmer!
(**the previous Love, Life, Hope Scentsy Breast Cancer warmer is currently discontinued and out of stock)
Each catalog season, Scentsy chooses one organization to support through the sales of the Scentsy Charitable Cause Warmer. The Fall/Winter 2010 season was the Love, Life, Hope Scentsy Warmer created to honor women with breast cancer and support breast cancer research. Love, Life, Hope’s simple pink-and-white stripes and black accents spread a message of hope and support to breast cancer survivors and their families.
One hundred percent of the net profits from the sale of Love, Life, Hope went directly to The National Breast Cancer Foundation to support their breast cancer awareness and education programs. I'm so pleased that Scentsy met our goal of donating over $500,000 from the proceeds of this warmer to donate to the NBCF - what a great way to support a very worthy cause! Thanks, Scentsy!
