MLM's Want To Steal Your Soul (with Robert FitzPatrick)

[@Syedrafi88]

I was in Amway for 2 years with the concept to follow the system and trust your uplines. Wasted money and got nothing. All these conferences just to sell motivation to keep you in the business.

[@thenuetrix6574]

[@justmuppet1765]

I was almost in your situation but I got out about a month in and my "mentor" aka an ex close friend payed the first month for me, so I got lucky. But look at it this way like I do. This experience opened my eyes to forex and stocks and such, and I now know A LOT more about MLM's. I now know not to get caught in them and I have everything I need to help keep friends and relatives away from them. I'm sorry you lost money and time but be glad you got out earlier rather than later and keep up your hard work with whatever you do in life! I wish you the best of luck and a happy life filled with laughter and love!

I got a LinkedIn message about a job opportunity. He was using typical business language, looked like a typical recruiter message. He asked for a phone call. He kept asking questions about me, would not mention the company name, used vague language about entrepreneurship and e-commerce describing the job. I told him I need a job posting with the job title and job description and the company and he would not do it. He told me to attend a Zoom meeting. I refused. I looked up if this was a scam online and it was Amway. These MLM's are disgustingly deceptive!! Not ok!

Years ago I hosted a TV show in St. Louis and I wanted Mr. Fitzpatrick as a guest along with an MLM promoter. My producer asked me if I would be unbiased in the interview. I should have lied and said "of course" but instead I said that "MLMs are a scourge on society and we need to share that, Robert is the man to do that". Robert - you were simply amazing in this interview - it should be required watching for every human being. Marco - I had never heard of you until yesterday but dude - you rocked this interview - you are much better at this than I was on TV back in the day. Godspeed to you both!!

[@monicamccown7511]

Monat is my least favorite since they target young vulnerable women with financial problems and give them false hope, take their money, and bully them into harassing their vulnerable female friends with financial problems. It’s so sad that most of these women are young single moms desperate to support their families.

The MLM I hate the most would most likely be NXIVM. For a company to pride its self for providing the tools that enable people to experience more joy and functionality, it sure fell short. This company exhibited some of the worst manipulation and brainwashing I've ever seen in a mlm. It was absolutely horrifying when the abuse and mistreatment within inner circles came to light as well. Head honcho Keith Raniere was charged with sex trafficking, CP, wire fraud and good ol racketeering. Mans had to go. Very stoked to see this video!!!

[@slothsoul6863]

Yea not to mention the women that were high up in that who indoctrinated the newer girls coming in had them branded on the hip with an obscure symbol. Later they realized it was kieth raniere’s initials. Pretty horrifying

I'm so glad Robert validated my feelings on the fact that that's none of their business and they don't get to know that about me. Knowing I can be duped to that level makes me feel extremely protective of those aspects of my life. It's taken me many years but I think im finally getting to the point where I don't feel the need to overshare and tell my story as a means of feeling included or valued in my employment situation.

I was in IML for about 3 months and got out in record breaking time. I felt like a complete fraud nor was I really making money trading.

They are attempting to recruit vulnerable people through churches. So Im noticing in my church community that some individuals are trying to use small group meeting formats in the name of God to recruit to an MLM. Ive really seen this with ILM Academy. This is not from God and its not a good representation of God. Stay away from MLMs and speak the truth about them to your friends and church family who may be entertaining the idea of joining one.

[@Numbers21589302]

These people use religions to take advantage of people as an in group. It’s so much easier for them to come off as a trusting Christian, Muslim, etc. when they make others believe “I wouldn’t rip you off, I’m a practicing (insert religion here), and that goes against our practice, and I definitely wouldn’t deceive a fellow member of said (religion)”. Really sad, and beyond that these people often also think they’re helping these people in their religion. It creates a very easy in group.

[@fraxizztv6433]

If you want to identify a mlm/pyramid/ponzi scheme, look at both the money flow; is it going up from the bottom? = Scheme. Or down from the top? = Legit business. And then, what does the business spend the majority of their resources on? Is this recruiting new members in? = Scheme. Are there costs to enter? = Scheme. Or do they focus more on the product/services they're selling? = Legit business. The same can be applied to those selling any kind of courses. If that is all they do, that is how they actually make their money.

I quit probably a little less than a year ago, and have never bothered looking up anything on the internet about it while I was inside of it. Now I cant believe how bad I was deceived. They worked so hard to put walls up against everything I've seen in all these videos, and that in of itself is a red flag for me. When a huge number of "negative" people are literally pushing on the same points you tried to build walls around it. The level of subliminal messaging and controlling I have been through is painful, Im just happy I didnt ruin my life because of it.

[@WhitePigeon1986]

One of the biggest flaws in MLMs is what they were discussing, I just don't think they knew the actual term for it, which is market saturation. MLMs have really low barriers to entry, and the barrier to enter a market is non-existent. Because of that, there's no true opportunity cost within a market because as Robert pointed out, every person in a given market could be a rep. This is a key indicator that it's not about sales, but about recruiting others to continue paying into the pool everybody pulls their "commission" from. The more suckers, the greater the money pool is. As long as the bottom continuously turns over, MLMs will never go away. It's why they prey on desperate people hoping to change their lives.

I’m late but I absolutely hate beach body. So many “coaches” have terrible form and give harmful dietary advice. But they’re recruiting unqualified people who continuously recruit other unqualified people. I can’t take it!

what MLMs do to convince and outcast ppl is gaslighting. Every MLM is narcissistic. So it makes sense to look up into this topic too to understand the psychological impact and how it can come to pulling ppl in and creating that bubble of illusion

I became fascinated with this subject because I’m a true crime addict. I read and watched everything to do with the murder of his family by Chris Watts. He and his wife were very involved in the MLM Thrive.
