In this video, we dive into the appeal of MLMs, and why they can be so harmful for women especially. Prepare yourself with knowledge for the next time you receive an "exciting business opportunity" in your Facebook messages. (If you or someone you know has been affected by involvement in an MLM, you can find help and resources here: https://mlmtruth.org/resources/.) Through weekly video essays, "Making It Work" showcases how *real* people have upgraded their personal or financial lives in some meaningful way. Making your life work for you doesn't mean getting rich just for the sake of it. It means making the most of what you have to build a life you love, both in your present and in your future. And while managing money is a crucial life skill for everyone, there's no one "right way" to go about it — you have to figure out what works best for *you,* full stop.
