Has anyone else experienced the NFL effect? I was so enthusiastic when I started that I messaged literally everyone I knew. Childhood friends, college roommates, coworkers, neighbors, even my dentist. Most people politely declined. Some blocked me on social media. My best friend told me to never bring it up again. Looking back, I cringe at some of the copy-paste messages I sent. How do you rebuild friendships after being "that MLM person"? And for those currently building, how do you prospect without destroying personal relationships?
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.
If you are going to do MLM, track EVERY expense from day one. Most people have no idea how much they are actually spending versus earning. Create a spreadsheet with every product purchase, sample, event ticket, gas, and tool subscription. The numbers will tell you the truth.

Can you share which company you are with? I am researching several options and would love to compare notes. Also, what does your monthly autoship actually cost and what products do you get?
