    Grew up in MLMs. My ex step dad was sought after by several MLMs because he was good at public speaking. In the 8 years that he was in my life I think he was in 6 companies. I had accounts under my name, my brothers, and was even asked if product could be shipped to friends houses. It was so embarrassing. He was given down lines to switch companies and yet we were still struggling to make ends meet. I had to buy product to help them out; as a teenager. Once I was working I was heavily encouraged to purchase the product along with my own food and clothes so they could put more money into the MLM. MLMs are extremely predatory and absolutely disgusting.

      The people who make it are at the top and use everyone else to prosper.
      As a physician, I had a chance to get on a protein shake MLM when it first started. I personally didn’t like the product and the ingredients.
      A colleague of mine was one of the first on it and she is a multimillionaire now. Quit her practice.
      Several years later a patient tried to get me on the product. I told him I could have done it when it first started. He kept pushing and making office visits just to sell.
      It was called Isogenics or something.
      Weight loss is about healthy eating and self control.
      Its all about money and promises…as the people on the top get richer and richer.

    I was not money motivated and joined for the “culture” because they will “love you where you are” and needed something to do for me. At the first Empire U they asked if there is anyone who doesn’t want to be a Champ/rank 6 and I was the only person in the entire room that raised their hand. Needless to say, it wasn’t long after that things changed and I was no longer “loved where I was”

    I experienced the same feeling of the micro management of a leader even in the insurance industry. I had missed a training zoom and said no to another one and my regional was like "I feel you slipping away, are you ok. We need to keep you focused". I was like um no, I missed because I had to take my mom to the Dr. . I explained she has Stage 4 lung cancer. I got the very quick sorry to hear that. I thought she was sincere and the next sentence from her was let's keep you focused on your business! This was with Aflac and I see that their business model in sales is exactly a MLM!!!! 1099, you have a regional manager, and eventually the goal is to build your own team .She made money off of everyone on her team.

My husbands long time best friend, his wife is in pruvit and has been in for about 5 or 6 years. They have the "company car" or whatever and everything.

    I remember when Pruvit first took off, and I was recruited and was talked into purchasing $1200 worth of product to try to get people to buy. I'm sure it's changed a lot since then. But I remember always being told EVERY DAY "how many people have you reached out to? How much have you sold? Etc etc." It never ended and when I said I was trying (I lived in a town of 2k population... small town folks hate mlm) it was never enough and they weren't very uplifting when it came to one struggling in the team. I also remember posting on Facebook being upset about something in my personal life and my leader told me to delete it because negativity will not bring customers or leads... that's when I had enough. So now, years later, I still have boxes of ketones not being used 🤣

    It’s so interesting watching this, because the way you speak here is so much closer to “hun mode” than you are now where you take your time with your words and sound so much more relaxed. I remember when I started my current job and was transitioning out of food service, I was very similar in needing to learn how to relax again when I talked and interacted with others. I love being closer to my true self in my current work environment versus the persona I felt like I had to put on just to survive. It’s fascinating to see that paralleled here, just in a different way!
    I very much enjoy your content and insights, and am happy you got out of MLM’s and are in a better place in your life.

    It's easy to look at those who join MLM's or cults as idiots. Your message is so important as it educates us as to the psychological pressure, gaslighting and loss of individuality that explains how this can happen to anyone. I would love to see a video from you that explains how you got involved and explains concepts that are foreign to some of us--(trials, ketones, ranks, stars, smart chip? teams) but more importantly how you got started and how the program is set up and structured. Thank you for being brave enough to get out and then speak up to help others.

    Also, I remember leaving the classes at a convention to go out for a drink (lord knows I needed one! 😂)with one of my cross line friends and at one point she asked me, “Do you feel like people treat Gary Young as if he were a God?”.

    Thank you so much for sharing this. I used to do MLM for another company and it transformed me into the most ingenue & greedy individual. Hardly made any income and was shamed for it that I just must not be working my business if I don’t reach the success club. Well I was in school FT working still etc I couldn’t afford to live off the business I put more into it than I got back. Written off and had to earn certain points to have contact with my coach. People constantly asking me now to do ketones now and I politely decline. Thank you for your message. I’m so grateful for this and that I work my dream job today in a hospital no working from home zero regrets. Being uninvited for lack of “success points” is so hurtful. But life is too short I would rather use my time off to make memories with my family friends and travel than sitting behind a screen every moment I have.

The pay plan was front end loaded but it isn’t long before you realize that your spending more money than what your earning.

Then I started following someone else and she was doing the same thing. I then figured out by looking at both profiles that they both do Beach Body. They both started their morning by saying good morning in their kitchen while mixing pre workout. It's actually comical to watch them do the same thing now. Thanks for sharing your story.

    💡 Idea: It would be cool to have a video with your accountant who specializes in MLMS. Either the accountant can come on video or perhaps provide you with FAQs and FYIs for the video. Ideas include
    -Tax implication
    -Breaking down P&L
    -Expense write offs etc.
    Overall, great content👍🏽. Found you via CC Suarez.

    Came here from CC, since she recommended your channel I'll just go ahead and subscribe before I finish the video lol. I'm also a vet, these companies go so hard for vets, mil spouses and stay at home moms. I got recruited to Scentsy like 2 months after I was medically discharged, adjusting to being a stay at home mom and mil spouse. May as well been walking with a bullseye on my forehead lol. Left that company long ago and it was such a weight lifted when I left. I was sent pruvit samples and I personally did not like the taste at all so thankfully that scummy company never got my money.

    Lol when I was in Amway, I went to a few meetings, and I knew they were to recruit new people, so since I didn't have any recruits, I stopped going lol. My upline was like "Are you gonna be at this meeting?" And I was like "I'll try to, but I'm not sure I'll have anyone." I was very confused. Is it their hobby? To go to onboarding training for a company they're already in? I didn't understand back then. I kind of still don't understand how going to random people's houses in my city would be inspiring anyways, though, because if anything, it just showed how they weren't making a ton of money and moving up, since they were normal houses for normal people with normal income lol.

    Quick question! I've been a long time fan of AntiMLM (Kiki Chanel, Hannah Alonzo, CC Suarez, etc.) But I haven't ever heard the answer to this. What happens to the downline of someone who leaves? Are they just shifted up into the upline of the one who left? Also, does that then mean they advance a little because they are now in one level higher up? Thanks!

    MLMs must be different here in Australia as I've been in Nutrimetics since a teenager (I'm 38) & never been pressured into recruiting. They definitely have encouraging bonuses for sponsoring new recruits though & for selling. I use alot of their products too. I bought in to Young Living but not in it anymore as the religious aspect wasn't aligned to my values. But again, was never pressured in to recruiting. It just doesn't sound like it's as brutal & cutthroat here. Please share your stories, Aussies, though. I am really enjoying the antiMLM channels like yours Erin (found you through CC & Julie Jo)

I messaged back very snotty.....um if you are this great leader you should not respond like this, you are no better then me, also I'm in the hospital with my own health issues. That was the end all for me.

    I ordered from another company as a customer to help my friend out and was kicked out of all the groups & unfriended - I guess guilty by association - so so sad

    I do that guilt thing too when I’m doing something other than work or household stuff, and I’m not in an MLM. 😂. I think a lot of that is just me, but I can definitely relate.
