I hope you are having a great beginning to the month of April!

I feel that I need to share this information with you.

You may have been aware of Mentoring for Free for weeks, months or years. You know that I use the training, team support and Mentoring on a Daily basis to secure my business.

I do this simply because over the last 20 years I have learned that success requires, that I be a student of the industry AND when I see folks in need that I help them and share vital information.

Audrey Hepburn said, “As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and one for helping others.” This is our driving philosophy at Mentoring for Free.

What we know in our hearts is that as Zig Ziglar said “You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.”

Life and Network Marketing are both centered on and grow based on relationships. Building relationships is the key to a successful business / life.

My heart goes out to those people who are in Ecoquest International, a company that markets air purifiers and more. This is why it is so critically important to make sure you READ and UNDERSTAND your contract when you join a company. The contract is the Policies and Procedures that you read before you put in your credit card information when joining a company.

Please if you have NOT done that with your opportunity, please take today and read them. It will keep you from being devastated like the distributors in Ecoquest.

I cannot even begin to imagine what it would be like to build with a company only to find out that the owners sold the company and you are left standing in the streets.

Please, invest a few hours in you AND read your policies and if you need any help understanding them or would like me to go over them with you, please don’t hesitate to contact me anytime.

This is what We do, we provide the knowledge for FREE so that You have the correct skills to avoid pitfalls. We know that education is the only path to eliminate these issues.

When we teach You, you will educate others. Mentoring For Free is not only an online prospecting system that is proven to work, We are also a community of people that have survived baptism by fire and wish to help You avoid this.

Do Your homework, go to http://mlmwatchdog.com

Here is the MLM fire burning distributors. If You know folks involved in Ecoquest, or any MLM that is NOT clearly 5 Pillars, PLEASE contact me so I can support them during this difficult transition. Remember “it is NOT Your Fault”.

Contact me, I will help you to fully understand your policies and procedures. Lets work together to avoid future pitfalls. and look at all the companies that are going under, because of greed and ego’s getting in the way. Make sure your company is solidly 5 Pillar.

Contact me anytime if you have questions.

How many times have you heard the statement; “He is a natural born leader?” I know I have heard it countless number of times. When I started my business in 2006, it did not succeed as fast as I had expected. I felt as if there was something wrong with me and I thought I was not a “natural born” leader. But as time passed and I stuck with it, I realized that leaders are not made over night, nor are they born “naturally.” I now know and believe that we are all perfect just the way we are! We are all born with the tools we need to succeed, including the ability to be a leader.

To be a leader there are certain choices we must make. We have to choose to become a leader and we have to choose to learn leadership skills. We must have a desire to be a leader. Not just any type of leader, but a good leader, a leader people will want to follow. Good leaders are made and not born.

A leader is someone you grow into through self-development, education, training, experience and life changes. Good leaders are continually working and studying to improve their leadership skills. They are not sitting around on the couch watching television and eating a bag of Doritos.

Leadership is defined as a process by which a person influences others to accomplish an objective and directs the organization in a way that makes it more cohesive and coherent. A leader can inspire their workers, team, or followers to higher levels of teamwork. These do not come naturally but are acquired through continual work and study. This is done by applying certain leadership attributes, such as beliefs, values, ethics, character, knowledge and skills.

Most people confuse leadership with position because of the responsibility and authority that goes along with management, supervisory or upline position’s. Most people take this authority and equate it with power and believe this automatically makes them a leader. Or they measure their leadership by the size of their team, group, downline, or organization. Neither of these factors make a person a leader. Leaders are made and not born. Therefore, if you have not grown into a leader and you don’t know how to lead; that only makes you the boss!

Leadership is more than being the boss and bossing people around! It is a never ending process of self-development, education, training and experience. People want to follow someone they respect and has a clear sense of direction.

Leaders convey a strong vision of the future and they make the necessary sacrifices to build people, build relationships and to become better leaders.

Do you avoid networking events like the plague because you are filled with dread at the thought of your one minute introduction? If you have heard it once, you have heard it a thousand times; you only get one chance to make a first impression. Here are my tips for getting it right.

Your one minute introduction is designed to allow you to share specific information about you and your business. So you must develop a memorable introduction using word pictures so that people can envision themselves using your products. Those same word pictures also help when people are speaking with other people, your one minute introduction comes to mind and they are able to refer others to you.

You must develop your one minute introduction. You began by first, introducing your self; this should take about 20 seconds. The introduction should include your name, position, company name, a brief overview of your products, services and the type of clients you have currently. Second, tell them a story, this should last about 20 seconds, let them know what makes you different from your competitors, talk about the benefits of what you do, give a free tip or fact that will help people with what they do today or this week. Third, don’t be afraid to ask for the business, using another 10 seconds. Let them know what type of clients or customers you are looking for. Fourth, in about 5 seconds ask them, “Who do you know who needs my product or service?” Fifth, take about 5 seconds and say a “catchy tag line” to get you remembered, then conclude with your name and company. I recommend you take the time to come up with several one minute introductions, this way you can do something different each time you speak; this will also make you more memorable and set you apart. People will began looking forward to what you have to say instead of dreading you getting up saying the same introduction.

Once you have developed your one minute introduction, rehearse. Remember to be yourself and talk naturally this will keep you from sounding too rehearsed. Make sure you use a timer when you rehearse so that you will not go over your allotted time. Going over your one minute shows that you are unprofessional and people will only remember that you are the guy or the girl that went over during the introduction and won’t remember your business or what you said. At some networking events they time you and if you go over they will stop you and ask you to be seated and of course you don’t want that embarrassment either or be remembered for being the person who was asked to be seated. This leaves a negative stigma on you and your business. You always want to be courteous and professional.

Lastly, when it is time for your one minute introduction, Put down any papers and notes you have, flapping them about will distract people, its one minute, you can remember it, no need for notes. Always stand up and if you can move to an area where you can be seen by everyone. Remember to smile, speak clear and loud. A good rule of thumb is to project your voice to the person furthest away from you, don’t shout; but project your voice and make sure you are heard. Wear something comfortable and something that fits. Make sure your clothes are not too small or too big, this gives the wrong impression. Make sure your shoes are clean, comfortable and appropriate for your outfit. Most people tell me that they don’t have anything to wear and can’t afford to buy anything for one reason or another. For our business to be successful we can’t make excuses. Even on a low budget you can shop at Target or other stores and find a nice pair of black slacks with a solid colored shirt or blouse. Everybody knows that black always goes over well. Save the receipts and it’s a tax write off as part of your “uniform” or clothing expense. With black slacks you can vary the shirts and no one will know the difference. Don’t be afraid to wear a shirt or a blouse with color, nothing loud and obnoxious. But wear a color that looks best on you. Don’t know the color? Well think back to a shirt or something you wore and you got tons of complements on how great you looked in that particular color that’s the color you want to wear. Color is vitally important it conveys confidence and individuality.

Big Tip—you don’t have to use the entire minute, if you can get your message across in 30 or 45 seconds then great, deliver it and sit down.

Have you ever wondered how one person can talk to 25 prospects and sign up 20 and another person can talk to those same people and struggle to get just one? Have you ever been on a company conference call or in a staff meeting and the same person or persons are receiving all the awards and bonus checks. Have you ever asked yourself these questions: What are they doing that I am not – we all have the same system, the same manual, the same plan, the same company—what’s the problem? Does this sound familiar?

The one thing common to those situations is the person doing the talking. So what is the difference between someone who can attract 20 out of 25 and someone who can attract 1 out of 25?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If YOU CAN DREAM IT, YOU CAN ACHIEVE IT, Let me HELP YOU!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Are you presently looking for extra income? Looking for a way to supplement your paycheck until the economy gets better? Need some extra money for retirement, vacation, or your children’s college tuition.

I bet you probably even went on line and filled out one of those forms just to get information about starting a home based business and now you have everyone under the sun ringing your phone off the hook. Well before you make a decision there are some very important questions you need to ask; after all you are making a decision that will affect the rest of you and your family’s life. Your future and your reputation are at stake.

Getting the answers to these questions will save you years of failure and frustration. As we go through these questions today, I want you to remember one very important thing I learned from our Free Book –“it is not about the products! Your company may have the greatest products on the planet, but if your company does not have all five pillars, you can have everything taken away from you overnight.”

Let’s Briefly Discuss the Five Pillars:

1. Company Management Experience with Integrity – Does the company management have rock-solid experience backed with unquestionable integrity? Don’t be afraid to read your policy and procedures and check out the company.
2. Timing in the Company/Timing in the Industry – Timing in the profession of Network Marketing. Timing within national and global trends. Make sure the company you join has a product with a profit margin. Remember most companies don’t make money the first two year’s, the best time to join a company is after it has been around at least 3 years. Let them iron out all the kinks; studies show that 99% of all companies don’t last two years.
3. Remarkable Product/Products – People will buy even without a compensation plan or a business opportunity attached to it. Ask yourself this question and be honest: Would I buy this product if there was not a business opportunity attached to it?
4. Compensation Plan That Pays Part Timers – a compensation plan that rewards the top builders as well as fairly rewarding the part-time person. Studies show that 96% of your team will be made of part-time people. Sit down and think about how much extra money you would like to earn a month. Then ask the question “How many people must I have in my business to earn $500, $2,000, $5,000 or even $10,000 per month?” There are companies that require as many as 10,000 and as few as 400. Remember, 96% of your team will be made of part time people, is 3,000, 7,000 or 10,000 people duplicable. So where does that put you and your team? The key to success is moving product from the company to the end consumer, not to your team.
5. Proven System for Success – a proven duplicable system that allows part-time people to create a significant Royalty/Residual income. There must be a proven system of duplication with coaching, training, skill development, partnership and unprecedented support.

Having a 5 pillar company is crucial to your success in this industry. I like to compare it to an apple pie. Have you ever eaten apple pie? Most of us have, and most of us know it takes certain things to make that pie successfully. First you must have a pie crust, you must have apple filling, you must have the right amount of spices and sugar to make it taste good, you need a pie pan to bake it in and you need an oven to bake it until it is done. Now, if you miss any of these 5 tools your pie comes out unsuccessfully. Well, the same goes for any company! You need to know the 5 ingredients a company must have in place for you to be successful in MLM/Network Marketing.

Not sure if you are in a 5 Pillars Company, take a look at our Free Book. If you would like to hear more in depth training on the 5 Pillars for Your Success feel free to contact me anytime and we can help you achieve the success you’ve been dreaming about.

Your Hidden Talent

Network Marketing is simply referral Marketing. It is not a business but it is a way of doing business. It is not about “get rich quick schemes” the industry is very much misunderstood by many people. It requires work, effort, determination, a positive mindset and the proper skills. Instead of paying large sums to advertising agencies to promote a product or service, a large number of companies prefer to pay independent business owners, distributors or affiliates to spread the word.

Referring is nothing more than doing what already comes naturally. Until I read Success in 10 Steps, I didn’t realize that I had this hidden talent and had been doing it since I was about 5 years old. Think of all the earning potential that has passed me by! That e-book taught me how to use that hidden skill and get paid for it. When you tell a friend, coworker or family member about a great movie you watched you are recommending or referring. Even though you didn’t know about it and didn’t get paid for it, that’s what you were doing, “naturally.” Network Marketing is about sharing information and making each other’s lives better.

How is income generated? When referred customers purchase products or services. That income grows exponentially when the people we refer, refer others, who in turn refer others, etc. In other words as the number of referred people increases, either by us or by those we refer; so does our income.  Then it begins to have a snowball effect! That’s the power of time leveraging, which is automatically built into Network Marketing. Success does not depend on personally referring large numbers of people, but rather in referring and teaching network marketing principles; like those I found in the Free book Success in 10 Steps to a small number of people.

To give you a better understanding of how network marketing works and how it is also referral marketing: what if you had the choice of being given a million dollars or a penny a day that doubles every day for a month or for the rest of your life? Which would you choose? If you choose the million it can be here today, gone tomorrow. However if you choose the penny, in 30 days you would have $5,368,709.12! Just think about how much you would have as those pennies continues to double over 60 days, 90 days, 5 years, 10 years, etc. That’s the power of network marketing! This is why network marketing when coupled with a dynamic five pillars company and the proper skills training WORKS!

Network Marketing is rapidly becoming the number one way to do business for so many people around the world. It creates residual income, you possess full control of your life, you are able spend quality time with your children and grandchildren regularly and able to leave an inheritance for the future. It can be passed down from generation to generation and pay your children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, etc. and you will never have to live paycheck to paycheck again! The Best part is you get the honor and privilege of showing and teaching others the skills to do the same. My mentor, Michael Dlouhy has been successfully building a network marketing empire for over 30 years and has been debt free the last seventeen of those years! I am on my way to doing the same and it all started with one free book Success in 10 Steps.
