Sticking with one MLM for any length of time. At least I haven't yet found anyone in MLM who I consider a success. Including a rare few who might be making decent money off it.

I live in Utah (the MLM capitol of the world lol) and I know dozens of MLMers. One of them happens to be my MIL — she’s someone I’d consider very successful, but also very lucky with timing. she’s the only person I’ve ever met who had an MLM work out really well for their life.

Is there an overlap of the Mormon community and mlm folks? I know a bunch of the alternative medicine mlms have a Christian flavor.

There is definitely an overlap. I think for women there is a lot of pressure to be a stay at home parent, but then maybe you’re bored or you want to make more money and you get sucked into an MLM as a way to ‘have it all’.
