Why would you do that???

I’ve been asked this question over and over in the past couple months about our
Mentoring For Free program. Why is this free? What do you get out of it? Why would you help people when there is no monetary benefit in it for you?

True leaders know that they must give of themselves to be successful. The mentoring is all free. I had a really bad experience with a network marketing company (there are lots of bad ones out there). My goal is to educate people on what to look for and how to work their business to be successful. Of the people who download my free eBook, half of the people are already in a company and the other half are looking for a company. Those who are looking for a company, I educate them on what to look for and then introduce them to my company. Quite a few of those people join me in business. Some do not and that’s ok.

Of the other half who are in a company, a little more than half of them are involved in a company that will either steal their check (like my old company did to me) or a company that won’t allow them to retire, or a scam. Once they know what to look for and realize that the company they are with is not a fit for them and that’s why they’ve been struggling, they ask about my company and some of them join me.

Of the people who are in a good company, I work with them and mentor them to be successful in that company. It’s my way of giving back. This industry is so powerful. I want everyone to know how to be successful and why they aren’t successful right now. The majority of the time, the cards are stacked against them and it’s not their fault they aren’t successful.

It’s my belief that this industry would be so much more easily done if the people who act like aggressive, pushy salespeople that very few people like, would stop and realize that network marketing is a RELATIONSHIP business. In order to be successful, and especially after you have built your organization and want to keep it, you have to be willing to help anyone who needs help, not just when it will benefit you. I work with a number of people in other companies and people in my company who are not in my “downline”. I am happy to do that.

That’s my philosophy and the philosophy of the
Mentoring for Free system. With that being said, I would be delighted to be your mentor and help you in any way that I can if you would like me to.

Have a wonderful day!!

MAKING CHOICES IS YOUR GREATEST POWER

While your character is formed by your circumstances,your desires can shape those circumstances. The one thing over which you have absolute control is your own thoughts. It is this that puts you in a position to control your own destiny.


Nature is constantly at work around you. Character and destiny are her handiwork. She gives you love and hate, jealousy and reverence. You have the power to choose which impulse you follow.

At any time you can decide to alter the course of your life. No one can ever take that away from you. You can do what you want to do and be who you want to be.

Your greatest power is the power to choose.

It's Amazing What You Can Accomplish When You Believe - Pt 3

During the 30 day mental cleanse, we read the book “Think & Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. Every Wednesday, twice a day, a group of us at Mentoring For Free get together on the phone and mastermind what we got out of each chapter. This process is critical, or at least it was to me. It was very important that I had a safe place to go to let everything out. A place where I could talk about anything and no one would judge me.

If you join Mentoring For Free and start your own 30 day mental cleanse, you will eventually hear my story. It gets told often. I came from a very bad place. I was a basket case. I had tried for YEARS to figure out how to deal with all of the “stuff”. Nothing helped until I found Mentoring For Free. It’s so much more than just a coaching and mentoring program. It’s a life changing program.

I was able to forgive people that I never thought I would be able to forgive. I was able to figure out who I am. I was able to finally come to the realization that I am perfect just the way I am. I love myself and I deserve success!!! Once I realized that it was like flood gates opened and all of a sudden my business took off. All kinds of things are falling into place.

This can be you. You deserve success too. Once you really love yourself and KNOW that you deserve success, you will attract it. No whining. No complaining about how terrible your life is and how you can’t get ahead. Whatever we think about, we bring about. If you have not seen the movie The Secret yet, visit http://www.thesecret.tv/ and watch it today. Learn about the law of attraction. Sign up for Mentoring for Free and find out about the 30 day mental cleanse.

Have a wonderful day!!

It's Amazing What You Can Accomplish When You Believe - Pt 2

Before I began my journey down the path I’m on, I would wake up in the morning to the television. I would have the television on all day long. Sometimes, I would listen to the radio, but the TV was still on. LOL. Have you ever seen that? TV on and muted and the radio playing? That was me. I needed constant “chatter” around me because I was AFRAID to be alone.

The first thing he said I should do is “turn off the chatter”. Our mind is like a radio. We can dial into any number of stations. In the past, whenever I was dialing into a station that made me take a good look at my life and my past, I would turn the dial. Michael told me I needed to spend time to get to know ME. I was not thrilled by that at all!! I had been in and out of counseling for years and had tons of baggage I was carrying around with me. I had attempted to do the whole “self evaluation” thing before and wasn’t happy with the results.

My first attempt at a 30 day mental cleanse was this – I stopped watching the news, but thought that my soaps and sitcoms were ok. After all, I didn’t “really” watch them, they were just on. And spending time with me – well…if I’m physically here, I’m with me, right? WRONG. I listened in on the calls and heard stories of how people were growing. They were growing in their personal lives and in their business lives. Why wasn’t I having these breakthroughs? Why wasn’t I growing?

I began to evaluate who I hung out with. There were lots of negative people in my life. You know the kind. The ones who sit there and complain that their life is sssssooooo horrible, but they aren’t willing to stop playing the computer games and get off their butts and DO SOMETHING about it. Heck – with network marketing, they wouldn’t even have to get off their butts, just DO SOMETHING. If you continue to do what you’ve always done, you will continue to be where you’ve always been. I’m not sure who said that, but it was one very smart person.

I finally made the decision that I was going to do this 30 day mental cleanse. In our house, everyone watches TV. We have a TV in every room but the bathroom. IT’S ONLY AN 850 SQUARE FOOT HOUSE. Why do we need a TV in every room? I couldn’t tell my family that they had to do something I was not willing to do. I bought one of those screen tents, an outdoor table and chairs. That became my “space”. I couldn’t have quiet alone time with me in the house, so I created it in my yard. Everyone knew that when Mom is in her screen tent – leave her alone. Thankfully, summer was on it’s way and it was warm enough for the kids to be off playing during the day.

I was on my way. I had begun my 30 day mental cleanse.

Find out tomorrow what happened during my 30 day mental cleanse and what that has to do with success.

Until then – have an absolutely wonderful day!!!

It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you believe you deserve success.

Around the beginning of the year I was terminated from my previous network marketing company. That is the network marketing company I thought I was going to build a future with. Boy was I wrong. I found out that the replicated websites the company “gave” us when we signed up had what I thought was a glitch in the programming. The company introduced two 15 minute videos to our websites. The problem was – if someone spent over 45 minutes or so on the site, it would “timeout”. From that point on, if the visitor hit the back button on their browser, they were taken to a page to fill out a contact form. This form (unbeknownst to the visitor) was NOT part of the replicating site, but the MAIN COMPANY FORM, therefore, I never saw this person’s request for more information. Well…I immediately emailed the owner of the company to let him know what was happening. Remember, at this point, I thought it was a programming glitch. He emailed me back to say he was out of the country and would look into it when he got back on Tuesday.

Well…needless to say, the company found a bogus reason to terminate me almost immediately upon the owner returning to the country. I was served notice via email on Wednesday that I was being suspended pending termination. The reason they gave was because I “disparaged one of the company employees”. Before emailing the owner of the company, I called the home office. I was met with a customer service rep who, on a different occasion, had no clue what I was talking about when I asked a question about the compensation plan. This particular time that I called, he gave me an answer that had NOTHING to do with the question I was asking. I asked to talk to his supervisor. I asked the supervisor my question and got a much clearer answer than the original rep gave me. I said to the supervisor “I don’t mean to be rude, but so&so is an idiot and should not be allowed to answer the phone.” This was the reason I was given for my termination.

When I joined this company, I agreed to their Policies & Procedures. In the P&P’s it says that I agree to not disparage the company, it’s products, employees, or other members. WELL…I was shocked. I had always assumed (YEAH I KNOW) that disparage meant to be very nasty and negative towards someone. Then I googled the definition of disparage. Here’s the meaning of the word - “convey a negative opinion of”. GUILTY. I conveyed a negative opinion of the customer service rep who did not know what he was talking about. Boy am I glad they couldn’t see me raising my eyebrows!!! That was really conveying a negative opinion of him.

Thankfully, at the time this happened, I had already met Michael Dlouhy. Michael is my mentor, coach and friend. If it weren’t for him and the
Mentoring For Free system, I would have been lost. I immediately told Michael what was going on and asked his opinion. Michael was there for me before that day, during the whole mess and after that day. Michael and the Mentoring For Free system have been my sounding board, my mastermind group, my counselors, my team. “My people” as my daughter called some of them at convention. The people in this group – every single one of them – are absolutely wonderful. The Mentoring For Free system attracts the TRUE LEADERS who are willing to go the extra mile to help anyone in any company be successful. Those who want to live a happier, more successful life.

Michael first suggested a 30 day mental cleanse. He told me that in order to have more, I must become more. He told me everything happens for a reason. He told me that if I want to move on and be successful, I must believe that I DESERVE SUCCESS. Well…I was wondering – what in the world is a 30 day mental cleanse? What do I do?

Find out tomorrow what happened during my 30 day mental cleanse and what that has to do with being successful.

Until then – have an absolutely wonderful day!!!

Introducing A New Website for the NEW Network Marketer.

I have been listening to and reading books by Kim Klaver for quite some time now. I just love her. Kim teaches how to lead with the product and not the business. She had an awesome post recently called "Would You Like A Dealership With That?". This is a wonderful example of how some network marketers run their business.

Those of us who know there is a better way to work this business have joined Kim's new Network Marketing Central website. Read all about it at
Kim's Blog Post. Don't bother going to the site if you are the "in your face" type of Network Marketer. Kim's philosophy falls right in line with what we teach at Mentoring For Free. It's not all about recruit, recruit, recruit. It's about CREATING RELATIONSHIPS.

Have an absolutely wonderful day!!!
