OK, you still don't get the point here. This woman was having HEART
SURGERY..and all her sister could see is another opportunity to push
her product.

Why??

because I have had so many different family members involved in
different things

I'm not sure I believe that is your motive.

That might be true, but I doubt that she would expect you to buy your
own steakhouse. And I doubt if she would eat every drop of food that she
consumed in that steakhouse, and she certainly would not be in
business for very long if the success percentages in that "steakhouse"
franchise were as ridiculously low as they are in the vast majority
MLM's. I also don't think that if your sister owned a steakhouse and
you were a vegetarian, she would claim you were negative and did not
support her dreams if you refused to eat her steak.
