My wife got involved in something similar that wasn’t MLM, but basically a program where you pay for training and certification (and the certification has to be renewed every year for a fee). The promise of flexible hours was also a big selling point of this new “career”.
It’s hard because to me the whole thing sounded like a bad deal, but you also want to support your spouse. We ended up just talking through our hopes/concerns, what would be an acceptable amount of money to lose, etc.
She decided she wanted to do it anyway, and I resolved to support her (basically just keep my mouth shut and not say “I told you so”). Nothing really came of it and we ended up losing an inconsequential amount of money. No regrets really.
But if it had been an MLM scheme that also required putting pressure on friends and family, or the costs were bigger, that could have been a much harder conversation.

- luckylion 4y agoI guess that may have led to harassing friends and family about buying / switching insurance. With agile, that's probably less likely. "Hey mom, I know you like baking, but I really think you could be much happier if you didn't just follow the recipe from A to Z but instead reacted to challenges in a more agile way."
