Mentoring For Free is a Scam!
That is what someone said to me the other day. Got me thinking. If it is a scam then it should be exposed!
MFF is founded by Michael Dlouhy. I have Googled Michael Dlouhy's name and put the word scam by him and found nothing derogatory about Michael. That is a good sign.
The successful network marketer's use attraction marketing as a way to generate leads. Mentoring For Free uses the Free e-book Success in Ten Steps to generate leads. So if that makes MFF a scam then are all the affiliate marketing programs(Magnetic sponsoring, Spiderweb Marketing, Renegade Marketing, Carbon Copy Pro to name a few) also scams? In a word no. If you have checked any of these programs out I am sure you have found that they offer a system of generating leads that will/may join you in your Network Marketing Opportunity. No sign of scam here.
MFF host ten Free training calls each week, and No products or Companies are mentioned on these calls. They only focus on the skills necessary to make you a better networker. Can't see a scam here.
Mentoring For Free also has a huge library of recorded training calls that members can access and share with people who have questions regarding, Pay per Click, Google ad words, or blog writing and posting for maximum exposure. If you have a question on building your business it is answered by someone who has done it and now explains how you can do it. You can also access the person who did it and they are willing to give you their time. But it is still free. I am not the sharpest knife in the draw but I still don't see a scam here.
Is everything free? No. I pay for the e-book to be branded in my name. $20 a month. I have a back office to track my progress. I have 8 websites that I can send people to to capture their information.
Did I have to join MFF to learn from Michael and all the other great coaches in Mentoring For Free? No! But after listening to the free information, that was made available to me, I found that it was a great organization. They would help me grow MY business. MFF even showed me how to anilyze a company by reading the Policy and Procedure manual. Have you read yours? Don't feel bad if you haven't. Many don't. It's just the Legal contract between you and the company. I never read one before and have been in three different companies. Sill no Scam here.
Mentoring for Free also has taught about the personality colors. How to identify what type of personality you are talking with, so when you talk you are speaking Their language. Free again!
No scam.
If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me what Network Marketing company I am in I would be able to retire. Okay, that is an exaggeration. But often on coaching calls I am asked what company I am in and I tell them I am looking to help them build their business. Because I am.
That is what I have been taught. It makes perfect sense. If you help enough people get what they want then you will be rewarded in the end. I think Zig Ziglar said that. Still not seeing a scam.
Well then what is the deal? How do I get paid? Many of the other "attraction marketing" companies allow you to sell their program and get paid after someone purchases the system. This allows them to earn while the build. I felt that the information in MFF was greater than what I heard in the sales pitches on their capture pages. And Found that buying another program to compliment the last one was just a little out of my budget. Was I working to create an extra income or find another expense? But the Number one reason I went with Mentoring For Free is Micheal Dlouhy.
He has many , many friends. And a few people who don't like him. But I challenge anyone to call Michael a Liar, Crook, Scammer, Cheat, Dishonest, or any other derogatory word or phrase. It will not stick! He is the definition of a Servant. He wants to help people. He teaches you How to think, Not what to think. There is no Scam here. Just good people following the lead of a Big Hearted man helping as many people as they can , become free.

Good lick and God Bless You!

Are you doing this for Fun? Or, were you hoping to earn a living?
Just was driving home and thinking about why I am in my business. To earn a living of course.
I assume that is why you are also a Network Marketer. It doesn't have to be $100000 a month but it can be. The bottom line is we all want to earn something for our efforts.
My first question is "How many people do you need to earn $5000 residual income per month?"
Please don't tell me about the fast start training extra package superstar team leader volume override bonus. Just look at the numbers. X amount of people, using how many $ of product, equal $5000 residual income per month.
If that number is over 200 we should talk. Unless you like working harder to earn money, you need to get the facts. Download this Free E-book and find out that your extra work is not your fault. I will be happy to help you figure out how many people you need to earn $5000 a month in residual income. But are you willing to look at the facts?
That brings us back to are you in this business for fun or money? I spoke with someone the other day and their company requires 4000 people buying product each month in order for them to generate a check for $10000 a month. Divide that by ten and I think you have a more reasonable number. There are many companies that you can earn a decent income with out having to involve half of New York City. If you Download and read this E-Book you will save yourself years of failure and frustration.
Either way, I hope that you know you can call or e-mail me anytime and I will be more than willing to help you.
Good luck and God Bless You!

Have you read your Policy and Procedures Document?
Have you read your Policy and Procedures Document?
Well if you have not then you BETTER! The Policy and Procedure document is you Legal contract with your company. When you join a company it is not constitutional law. It is Contract Law. Your contract is the law between you and your company!
I was helping a gentleman a week ago and asked him if he read his P & P? He said he read the distributor agreement but wasn't sure what the P & P was. Well I read his Distributor agreement and before you sign in bold letters it says that you have been supplied with a copy of the P & P and by signing agree with them 100%. When I told him that he said Oh I don't think I have seen them. Well he called me back and had found them. After we read them I re-read the section on Renewal to him. I am paraphrasing but it said The company can decide not to renew a distributor for any reason. Now where I come from that is a huge red flag. ANY REASON.
My friend said he would do some checking and called me a few days later and said he spoke with The Company's Lawyer and it was explained to him. Now I am not a rocket scientist but do you think the company lawyer has any reason to _ _ _ ?(you fill in the three letter word that starts with L and rhymes with why) I just said if you work 5 or 6 years and build a big business and decide to retire and just live of the residual income, what happens if the decide not to renew your distributorship?
Another friend asked me for help and when we read his P & P, we found that if he ceases to actively sponsor distributors in a given month he will not qualify for a check and if he misses sponsoring in three or four months ( don't have the doc. in my possession) in a row he may be terminated. And the company is so bold as to say that they will decide each incident on a case by case basis. And although similar, some cases may be decided differently at the discretion of the company. I don't have the exact legal language in front of me , but you get the idea. How do you retire from this company?
I know that there are more companies out there that have some hidden loopholes in their P & P. And there are some companies out there that are great companies to be in. The reason I wrote this article is to remind you that if you haven't read you Policy and Procedure Manual then there is no time like the present. Don't build a business and find out that they have changed the deal. These words and documents are Not boilerplate. Don't be fooled.
If you would like help figuring out what is in your companies P & P I am available. Just send me an e-mail or call me on the phone. This book will also help you understand your company P & P.
Good Luck and God Bless You!

Is Network Marketing a Viable alternative to the 9 to 5?
Is Network Marketing a Viable alternative to the 9 to 5?
Is Network Marketing a Viable alternative to the 9 to 5 job? In the 9 to 5 have a 401k and I get paid for my time spent at the job. When I take time off I get paid Vacation time or personal time.
I have the Security of employment. I can plot my financial future knowing within a few dollars where I am going to be. I know where I have to be in the morning and what I am expected to do
for my company. There is a solid sense of purpose in my life.
In Network Marketing I have to recruit people to join and or sell products to earn an income. In Network Marketing there may not be a clear set of rules. What works for one person may not necessarily work for another. Plus it is a network business so I must network with people.
If I do not do the above I do not earn any money. It is hard to plan ahead without a steady income.
OK, you say that the job thing is not perfect. I agree. There are layoffs. Some jobs cut back on the hours per employee so they could avoid layoffs. Still, that is less money coming home. I think we all have heard the joke of the 401k that is now a 201k! The financial horizon is no longer predictable. The boss sometimes is not as pleasant as we would like. And we can't always get the time off that we want. Oh, and we sometimes put in extra hours just to make a living. I have to admit I am working for someone Else's dream!
As far as network marketing goes, it does offer you the freedom to work when you want. And you are the boss, it is your dream! The earning potential in the right vehicle is far greater than a job. There are no layoffs. And residual income will pay you, and your children, and your children's children. A job won't do that! If tomorrow is Thursday and my kids want to go to the beach I can take my office with me. A laptop and a phone. I doubt my boss probably would give me the time off on such short notice. How nice would it be to set my own hours. I believe that Network Marketing offers greater rewards than the 9 to 5. If you want more in life you have to step outside of your comfort zone and strive for more. I can learn how to recruit a few people in a Network Marketing business. And I can learn how to offer people, some great products that will not only help them but will also help me. So, my answer is yes, Network Marketing is a viable alternative to the 9 to 5.
What about you?
Good Luck and God Bless You!

Happy St Patrick's Day!
Well It is the 17th of March and The Wearin o the Green is Upon us!
St Patrick is the Patron Saint of Ireland. Before Patrick was a priest converting the Irish to Catholicism He was a Shepard who had been kidnapped from England and brought to Ireland. He escaped and returned as a priest. The rest is history.
But today, We wear green and drink green beer. And lets not forget that we go to the St Patrick's Day Parade! Well, the first parade was actually in Boston in 1737. Not Ireland. The largest St Patrick Days Parade is in New York City. It began in 1762.
As more and more Irish came over to America the holiday Grew and grew. Now Everybody is Irish on March 17th!
How Irish are you? Take this Fun quiz!
Have a Safe and Fun Day!
Good luck and God Bless you!

Some Sunday Fun!
While on a road trip, an elderly couple stopped at a roadside restaurant for lunch. After finishing their meal they resumed their trip. Unknowingly, the woman left her glasses on the table, and didn't miss them until they had been driving for about twenty minutes. By then, to add to the aggravation, they had to travel quite a distance to find a spot to turn around.
All the way back, the husband fussed and complained and scolded his wife. As she got out of the car and hurried to get her glasses, he yelled to her "While your in their you might as well get my hat and credit card!"
Today in Mass the thought for the week was very good so I wanted to share it with you.
I paraphrase. "This week I will speak no negative about anyone. If I hear negative about someone I will not listen!" A good philosophy!
Read the joke in the Medicine for the Soul section of the Turning Point Magazine.
Have a Great Day and Week!
