- richeyrw 7y agoI am a Mormon SMB owner, and I agree with your point, but in the interest of full disclosure, there is a darker side to this tendency as well. Utah (read Mormons) is the MLM capital of the world, with other get rich quick schemes being pretty popular as well. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/theslice/mormon-utah-valley-multilevel-marketing-thrive-doterra https://talkingpointsmemo.com/theslice/mormon-utah-valley-mu...
- jermaustin1 7y agoI had always wondered if there was a link between MLMs and Mormons. They are always overly upbeat and Christian (classic Mormon stereotypes) in their marketing, and so many of them are in Utah.
- jermaustin1 7y agoI grew up in a small Texas town with an outsized population of Mormons, and the ones I knew were either public sector or business owners.
