Tupperware was one of the original MLM success stories. They pioneered the home party model in the 1950s and became a household name. But in September 2023, they filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. What went wrong? Competition from cheaper alternatives, failure to adapt to online shopping, declining interest in home parties? Or was the MLM model itself the problem? What does Tupperware failure mean for other party plan MLM companies like Pampered Chef and Scentsy?

How long did it take you to build your team to that level? And what percentage of your team members are actually active versus just maintaining autoship?
Your story mirrors mine almost exactly. I want you to know that it gets better. I left my MLM 2 years ago and it took about 6 months to stop feeling embarrassed. Now I can talk about it openly and even laugh about some of the ridiculous things I did. Healing takes time but it happens.
