Friends in MLM
-
It seems like more and more of my friends are joining MLM companies, including one of my good friend recently. I seriously don't know what is it about these companies that makes them attract so much young and clever people.
Anyway, what can I do to save my friend? I don't want to loose a good friend just like that. He's like so devoted to this new 'religion' that it's all he can think and talk about to the people around him.

i always say 回头是岸
gives a light pat on the shoulder
then walk away solemnly -
They have been brainwashed!
Brainwash them back!

Sad to say, but usually these people are so into thinking that they can drive around in an Audi or BMW at a young age, they will not give up their dreams so easily and "persevere" on. Advise your friend, dig out old case scenarios, explain why in your opinion its not good.
If you friend still persist on, seriously, its only at a later time when they realise they are not reaping what they are suppose to sow, then will they drop out of that fantastic plan.

It is good that you care a lot for your good friends, but if they really want to learn things the hard way, you will not be able to do anything either.
However, if the time comes when they trip and fall, do not laugh at them and do not think of it as your fault. Instead, just do what you can to help them back up on their feet.

Just be more understanding and patient.
Also.....if he wants to do MLM...let him.....it's his choice and his decision....
You as a friend just need to be more supportive and understanding, thats all.....

I find it hard to be supportive and understanding.For one, my family was almost torn apart some recent years ago because a family member of mine joined MLM and became somewhat obsessive with it, to the point of neglecting his full-time proper job.
Second, like I've mention, after joining MLM these people became plain obsessive. Recently I did hang out with this friend of mine. Every few minutes he'll be attempting to direct our conversations towards his 'career'. There's no other topic I can talk about with him...only how to make more money and 'think of the future'.
I've lost a good friend.

If he is your friend, he will respect your decision and not constantly bug you to join. If that happens, you are better off without this friend

I totally agree, I am also in a MLM company, when my friend said no in joining me, I would definitely not pester him anymore, and whats more is that not many people are willing to lent a full ears to listen what we have to say.

By the way, people who have just step into the industry of MLM, especially teenagers, shouldn't look that far yet staying in the MLM company, instead they should treat it as a learning experience on how MLM & network marketing is all about and their professions behind it.
And...Its true, don't really be too obsessive, me myself are controlling it on my own.
