Passive income: NO

It is unlikely that someone can earn passive income from a Mary Kay side hustle. Most people do not reach a level where it becomes passive, as it typically requires ongoing sales efforts, recruitment, and active management of a team. Automation or outsourcing is not commonly applicable in this business model. Only a few outliers, often those at the top of the pyramid structure, may experience some level of passive income. Misleading expectations often include the belief that simply joining will lead to passive income, but in reality, consistent active involvement is necessary.
