If you check 10 successful, experienced, proven network marketing companies, each selling an identical product with identical ingredients, you know their product wholesale cost is within pennies of each other.

So how can it be that one company sells Product X for $116 retail, and another company sells the identical product for $40 retail? And what does it mean to YOU if your company has that higher-priced product?

This Saturday night, 5/30/09, at 8:55 pm Eastern time, Michael Dlouhy will reveal all the details about ‘How M-L-M Business Models Drive Behavior’.

It is F.REE to listen to the interview LIVE, however we only have a limited number of spots on the conference bridge.

To listen in, email me at aprilpage10k@gmail.com with ‘Business Models’ in the subject or call me at  850.725.0843. As soon as I get your reply, I’ll make sure to reserve you a spot on the call and get the access information to you.

This is going to be a packed out call!

This information is critical to your financial future – especially the Walmart Secret!

Hope to hear you on the call!

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE…do NOT blow this off and tell me you’re too busy!

If You recently downloaded our ebook, “Success In 10 Steps” by Michael Dlouhy, at my website here is an opportunity of a lifetime.  If you haven’t had a chance to download the ebook, you better do it now, you don’t want to miss this opportunity!

On Monday’s Coach’s Corner Call, we’ve been picking Michael’s brain about just what he really means about what he says in the ebook.

Well, Michael has called a ‘TIME OUT’ that just will not wait! He’s come up with an ANSWER that he just can’t wait to share with our Team. Please keep in mind that if  YOU have downloaded the ebook, YOU are a member of our Mentoring For Free Team.  If you have not downloaded the ebook and would like to be a part of this TEAM, DO it now, before time runs out!  It is, however, UP TO YOU TO DECIDE – AND THEN TO CHOOSE – just how important YOU are! How important is it TO YOU to INVEST IN YOU?

If you downloaded this ebook because you are creating an income from home – or you’re planning to do so – I ask You: Will YOU CHOOSE to invest an hour of your time IN YOU by getting on this call?

If you already know Michael Dlouhy and this Mentoring For Free Team Family because you’ve been talking to your coach and mentor whom you downloaded the ebook from – that would be me – then you already KNOW how important it is to BE THERE at 3:00 PM EST on Monday, May 25th.

If getting to know your coach and mentor whom you downloaded this ebook from has not been a priority for you YET, Monday’s call at 3:00 pm EST will be a PERFECT OPPORTUNITY for YOU to CHOOSE to get “in the game” – the “game” of Life, of the success you’ve always dreamed you could have!

Yes, we realize it’s a Holiday Monday in the USA. And we Salute and Honor every single person who has given service to this great country – this great world, and to those who have given their lives for our Freedom! Our hats are off to All of You and our Heartfelt Thanks and Love jump from our hearts to Yours!

However, this call, my Friend, will take your business to the next level, so that You can be a part of the Freedom that you are seeking for your Self and your loved ones.

Michael’s “hint” to the Team about the call was that it would be “the answer to why you don’t need to struggle anymore” and that “coming from this one place, it will always come out perfectly”.

For those of us who already KNOW Michael Dlouhy because we’ve been plugged into the Mentoring For Free calls for a while – and frankly, would NOT miss them for any reason – well, let’s just say: TAKE MY WORD FOR IT – YOU NEED TO BE THERE!!

The conference call bridge will be packed out and you waiting until the last minute to call in will likely result in some folks not being able to get on the call. So, as I began this email – Please, Please, Please – email me at april@mentoraprilpage.com with “Monday Secrets” in the subject line – and I’ll send you the call in information for the call. Dial in by 2:55 pm EST on Monday, May 25th.

If you miss getting into the call, it might mean that you waited too long to dial. But hopefully, the call will be recorded. If it is, check with me Tuesday or Wednesday and I’ll see if it’s available to send you the replay. But, my very powerful SUGGESTION is that you put away the excuses for not being able to be on the call – just ‘STOP IT’ – and be there! You’ll never regret participating when your personal and business growth are guaranteed to be the outcome – IF you choose to be coachable. That’s entirely UP TO YOU!

If you and I have not yet connected personally, let’s make it happen soon. I would welcome your phone call to see what we at Mentoring For Free can do to apply our powerful, proven principles to your greatest challenges in building your business.

It’s what we do to educate others seeking success in this amazing industry. This call is a perfect OPPORTUNITY for You to Decide to “check us out”. While it may not cost you a penny, I promise you the value is priceless.

I am looking forward to hearing you on the call.  Again, just email me at april@mentoraprilpage.com with “Monday Secrets” in the subject line, and I’ll send you the call access info right away.

Everybody knows that Wednesdays are a special day at Mentoring For Free.  The mental cleanse calls are on Wednesdays at 3PM EST and 8PM EST.  This is where we come together and concentrate on and study this wonderful eBook (Free):  “THINK AND GROW RICH” by Napoleon Hill.  Below is a brief summary of this week’s lesson:

Chapter 10 :: Power of the Master Mind ? The Driving Force – The Ninth step towards Riches
The Power of the Master Mind Group – Power is essential for the success in the accumulation of money. Power may be defined as organized intelligently directed knowledge. Power as a term used here refers to organized effort, sufficient to enable an individual to transform desire into its monetary equivalent. Organized effort is produced through the coordination of effort of two or more people, who work in a spirit of harmony.

Plans are inert and useless without sufficient power to translate them into action. The ways power can be acquired is very simple. Power is organized knowledge and the sources of knowledge are Infinite intelligence, this source of knowledge may be contracted with the aid of creative imagination as described in an earlier chapter.

Accumulated experience? The accumulated experience of man (or that portion of it which have been organized and recorded), may be found in any well-equipped public library. An important part of this experience is taught in schools and collages where it has been classified and organized.  Experiment and research in the field of science, and in other walks of life, men are gathering, classifying and organizing new facts daily. This is the source to turn to when knowledge is not available through accumulated experience.

The Master Mind may be defined as Coordination of knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people, for the attainment of a definite purpose. No individual may have great power without availing himself of the Master Mind.

The Mental Cleanse has taken my business to the next level, and I want to share this life changing experience with you!  To have more you must become more.

Step One in personal growth is the 30-DAY ‘MENTAL CLEANSE:  NO TV // Magazines // Newspapers // Radio // Gossip // etc! Instead, concentrate on and study this wonderful eBook (Free): “THINK AND GROW RICH” by Napoleon Hill.

If you are serious about creating the lifestyle you want, then personal development is a “must”.  You’ll get 6 months personal development in 30 days with the Mental Cleanse Program. Sign up for the Mental Cleanse at http://www.30daycleanse.com.  Just email me, april@mentoraprilpage.com with “mental cleanse” in the subject line or call me, 850.725.0843 and I’ll give you the call in information.

What are you waiting for?  All you have to lose is all the stuff from the past that’s been holding you back from taking your business to the next level.

Wishing you an abundance of Success!

As you know, we are all born with our own unique personality traits.  It is our personality that determines whether we are happy, shy, formal or carefree.  Some are passive or assertive, others are always on time and then there are those who are always running late.  It is our personalities that cause us to act or react a certain way.  Because of  these different types of personalities each of us have certain things that are important to us, or a certain way we like to be spoken to, or certain things we like  or dislike.  For years there has been studies done by Hippocrates, Carl Jung, Florence Littauer and others.

My favorite book is Success in 10 Steps, by Michael Dlouhy.  He groups everyone into four groups based on color.  Each color represents a collection of traits, strengths and limitations.   He also illustrates how relationships and various personalities impact how we connect with others.  This can be extremely helpful in building relationships.  The reason Michael Dlouhy is my favorite of the different authors, is not only does his book explain the differences in the four personalities, but he also teaches you how to implement this knowledge to have better relationships with your spouse, children, family, friends and business associates.  And he does it all for FREE!

Michael Dlouhy teaches that the four personality types that are identified by the four colors are found in every culture in the world.  They identify strengths and weaknesses, actions and reactions.  Even though there are variations and exceptions because of cultural biases and other environmental influences we each have our own dominant personality color.

By knowing our personality color, we will better understand ourselves as well as others and learn to deal with challenges in everyday life.  When working with other people, as we become skilled in determining their color personality we will be better equipped to build relationships with them.  You will find out that people are a mixture of two or more colors, but there is one color or personality type that is dominate and you are driven by that basic personality.

Watch for future blogs about each color and how that personality can fit into your life and help you build better relationships.  Can’t wait?  Join me for a FREE generic training on “The Personality Colors” Saturday, April 4th, at 8:55 PM EST.  Contact me via email at aprilpage10k@gmail.com and I will be glad to send you the access information.

To Your Abundant Success,

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”.
http://www.timesnews.net/handheld_article.php?id=9012813

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.

To Your Success,

In today’s society as you surf the internet you see the terms coaching, mentoring and training all the time.  I can’t help but wonder if people know the difference between the terms or do they believe that they are the same? Most people tend to use the terms coaching, mentoring, and training interchangeably.  However, there are differences.  Mentoring is often thought of as the transfer of wisdom from a wise and trusted teacher.  He or she helps to guide a person’s career, normally to the upper levels of an organization.  However, this perception is starting to change as organizations are now implementing mentoring at all levels.

Training is about teaching or instructing a particular skill or knowledge and is normally given in a formal environment.

Coaching, on the other hand, is about increasing an individual’s knowledge and thought processes with a particular task or process.  It creates a supportive environment that develops critical thinking skills, ideas, and behaviors about a subject.  Although it is closely tied to training, it is more personal and intimate in nature.

The main difference between coaching and training is that training is normally done in real time.  That is, it is performed on the job.  The coach uses real tasks and problems to help the learner increase his or her performance.  While with training, learning is normally performed within the classroom.

Mentoring is more career developing in nature, while training and coaching are more task or process oriented. Also, mentoring relies on the mentor’s specific knowledge and wisdom, while coaching and training relies on facilitation and developmental skills.  Although there are these differences, you could say that the three are synergistic and complementary, rather than mutually exclusive as most people would agree that a good coach trains and mentors, a good trainer coaches and mentors, and a good mentor trains and coaches.  A coach is also a:

• Leader – they set the example and become a role model.
• Facilitator – able to instruct a wide variety of material.
• Team Builder – able to pull people into a unified team.
• Peace Keeper – able to act as a mediator.
• Pot Stirrer – brings controversy out in the open and resolves conflict.
• Devil’s Advocate – able to raise issues for better understanding of the individuals involved.
• Cheerleader – praises people for doing great.
• Counselor – provides intimate feedback

Wishing You an Abundance of Success!

The number one skill to being an effective coach, mentor, business owner, network marketer, leader, spouse, parent, etc is active listening.  This is a key component for success in any area of your life.

Most people believe that hearing and listening are the same, but they are not.  Hearing is defined as the act of perceiving sound.  It is involuntary and deals with aural stimuli.  Listening is a selective activity which involves receiving and interpreting the aural stimuli.  It involves decoding the sound into meaning.

Listening is divided into 2 main categories:  passive and active.  Passive listening is a little more than hearing.  It occurs when the receiver of the message has little motivation to listen carefully, such as when listening to music, story telling, television, or when being polite.

People speak at 100 to 175 words per minute (WPM), but they can listen intelligently at 600 to 800 WPM.  Since only a part of our mind is paying attention, it is easy to go into mind drift, and start thinking about other things while listening to someone.  The cure for this is active listening, which involves listening with purpose or intent.  It may be to gain information, obtain directions, understand others, solve problems, share interest, see how another person feels, show support, etc.  It requires that the listener attends to the words and feelings of the sender for understanding.  It takes the same amount or more energy than speaking.  It requires the receiver to hear the various messages, understand the meaning and then verify the meaning by offering feedback.  The following are a few traits of active listeners:

• Spend more time listening than talking.
• Do not finish the sentences of others.
• Do not answer questions with questions.
• Be aware of biases.  We all have them and we need to control them.
• Never daydreams or become preoccupied with their own thoughts when others talk.
• Let the other speakers talk.  Do not dominate the conversation.
• Plan responses after the others have finished speaking, NOT while they are speaking.
• Provide feedback, but do not interrupt incessantly.
• Analyze by looking at all the relevant factors and asking open-ended questions.  Walk others through summarizing.
• Keep conversations on what others say, NOT on what interests them.
• Take brief notes.  This forces you to concentrate on what is being said.

As you can see listening is a learned skill.  It is a skill that we must intend to do.  We have to focus and pay attention when someone is speaking with us.  To be a successful listener we must practice listening to others.  I challenge you to implement the short list of active listening traits this week and see how your communication with others improves.

Wishing YOU an Abundance of Success,

April Page
