Go ahead and call them idiots. It's the only way.

If they make a good effort to develop the business they will learn

They will learn all the important lessons taught by failure.

Selling Amway isn't developing a business. Your advice is sound for entrepreneurship, not so much for MLMs.

Help and be supportive. Keep that door open so you can help them get back on

I think you can be nice and still not be supportive of an MLM.

I like this a lot.

Let them succeed or fail. Either way it's a great education.

To bad. Time to disown

MLMs mean hustling family about “business opps” at every holiday/fam gathering

Just give them a few months they’ll realize it soon enough

The funny thing is his Dad spent some time with Amway and failed spectacularly
