Using automation in your MLM business - where to draw the line

I want to automate some parts of my business like follow-ups and social media posting. But I also know that personal connection is important. Where should I draw the line with automation?

I felt this post in my soul. The loneliness of being the only one still working while your team goes silent is crushing. But remember - you are building skills and resilience that will serve you regardless of whether you stay in MLM or move on to something else.

This is a one-sided view. I know plenty of people earning full-time income from their MLM business. They work hard, treat it like a real business, and provide genuine value to their customers. Success IS possible.

My biggest piece of advice - never recruit someone who cannot afford to lose their investment. If a person is living paycheck to paycheck, you are potentially putting them in a worse financial position. Be ethical about who you bring into the business.

Former Herbalife nutrition club owner here. I invested $25,000 to set up my club. First year was brutal - barely covered rent. Second year I started making about $3,000 per month. Third year I was at $6,000 per month. Then COVID hit and I lost everything. The business model worked but it was fragile.

I was a top earner making $15K per month. I walked away from it 2 years ago because I could not handle the guilt anymore. Watching people I recruited lose money while I profited from their purchases was eating me alive. I now have a regular job and sleep much better at night.
