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

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

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

The problem is the MLM predators pump their heads so full of crap, they prepare

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.

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
