[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 63158, member: 1991"] If telling her is going to ruin your friendship, then the friendship isn't worth saving. But you can be tactful. She can't be in business with you if she hasn't got her certification properly through. Just because you're friends doesn't mean you can look the other way - it's not acceptable and a later investigation would put BOTH of you in trouble. I would let her know that you will be working with someone else on a temporary basis until her qualifications are up to scratch. You can throw appropriate work her way when the opportunity arises because if things get busy there will be plenty of work for ALL those who are qualified in the work. But for now, she's got a lot of Mary Kay to shift, and that should come first in her priorities, to help her de-clutter her life so she can better work with you later on, without the Mary Kay distractions. Frankly, she sounds like someone you don't want to be in business with AT ALL. I can't help wondering why she was fired... Some people are good friends but lousy business partners. And it can go the other way too. Choose a business partner for their experience and ability, not because you like sharing a chick flick with them over a box of tissues late at night... Marg [/QUOTE]
