But I don't know anything about how to become an Avon Lady

I know how important Avon is to me. My ex- business partner June and my District Manager Terri Clark both without I wouldn't be able to do what I do. I have said before my goal is to become an SEUL and I know many people have helped me thus far. My hope is that coming to me or someone else on Facebook isn't a stumbling block for anyone's success. 
Sometimes it may seem like you're not making lots of money but that is why you have me, and all the other training Avon provides. They also, as you notice, give you four campaigns to begin your business and give you 40% on your sales. Doing some of the things they ask of you may seem silly or stupid, but remember how long they have been in business and how many successful representatives they have. The two most important things they ask of you is writing up your friends list and setting your goals. Your friends list is a resource you can always look back to and your goals  are something to help keep you looking forward. So when it starts getting hard look at your children, your home, your job or whatever is your motivation and then look forward and keep going.
Avons many training options are Avon University, your district Manager, your district page, your team leader, all the different seminars available, the many Avon groups on facebook. As you can see they want you to have everything you need to be successful.
Being an Avon rep can be a hard business if you dont take as much of the training as possible. It would be like walking in and taking a final and failing because you only know some of the things related to the class.
Remember this is your own business. What you get out of it and how successful you are depends on what you put into it. If you ask anyone who is successful what kind of training they did while they were building their business and they would say whatever they could find.
Here is a quote from an Muhammed Ali that really sums it all up. 
I hated every minute of training, but I said "Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life a champion"
