LuLaRoe documentary on Amazon - has anyone watched it?

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.

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.

My mom has been in the same MLM for 22 years. She never made much money from it but she genuinely loves the products and the community. She treats it as a hobby, not a business. I think that is the healthiest approach to MLM.

I just watched the LuLaRoe documentary and I am disturbed. The company allegedly encouraged consultants to go into debt buying inventory, the founders lived lavishly while many consultants lost their life savings, and the return policy was nearly impossible to use. At its peak, LuLaRoe had over 80,000 active sellers. Now the company has shrunk significantly and faced numerous lawsuits. Has anyone here been a LuLaRoe consultant? Does the documentary accurately represent what happened?

I joined Amway in college because a senior student recruited me. Spent $2,000 I did not have on products and tools. Made $47 in commissions over 6 months. Dropped out of the business but the experience taught me to always research before investing in anything.

Here is my advice for anyone considering MLM: Do not join if you need money now. MLM is a long-term play that might never pay off. Only join if you genuinely love the products and can afford the monthly cost as a consumer. Treat any income as a bonus, not an expectation.
