I have a problem. My best friend is my stampin up demo, but she has so much going on in her life now that she doesn't have time to keep up with all that is going on. She doesn't do a whole with it at all and I am basically keeping her alive when it comes to her quota for stampin up. I want so much to become a demo but I don't want to hurt her feelings or make her unable to keep in the company but I also have been approached by several people about doing it as well. I have a very big potental with it and I love it and I also think I could keep myself in supplies if I was a demo. What should I do?
You should go for it! If you feel guilty about it, sign up under her. But if you want a more active and supportive upline, then you should sign up under someone else.
You're not responsible for keeping her business afloat -- she is. I know she's your friend but you've done plenty for her by ordering from her. If you really want to be a demo, even just for the discount for yourself, then you should.

Talk to your friend..if she is truly your friend she will want you to do what makes you happy, and she may be relieved that she will not have to keep the SU business going if she really doesn't have the time or energy. You should go for it. Good luck.

Talk to her about it. I just signed up as a demo under my friend and I was her best (but not only) customer. She is excited for me and has been nothing but supportive. Yes, it will probably be an adjustment for both of you. It sounds like you are so ready to sign up. Go for it!
