I put out a call to action this month on social media, asking for personal MLM Horror stories and YOU RESPONDED!!! You sent in emails, sent me links to stories, tagged me in posts and even sat down for some mini chats! Enjoy this megasode of lots of MLM Horror Stories from around the internet! This is also the first time we have done an episode like this, so if you enjoy these Multi Story Minisodes, let me know and we can create more! The holidays are coming...
