The lure to make easy money is has a powerful pull on many people.  The need to fast cash to pay off the wolves banging at the door is strong.

What many people don’t know or understand is the risk they are taking when they sign up for an illegal program better known as Ponzi scheme or illegal pyramind scheme.  Being a participant or a promoter of these types of programs can lead you into the type of legal troubles that can devastate you and your loved ones.

Some people are aware of what constitutes as a Ponzi scam and still participate knowing the risks.  Or they may even believe, “I won’t get caught”, or even think, “its chump change, they have bigger criminals to catch”.  What ever they tell themselves to validate their participation, it still boils down to an illegal program.  Period.

I encourage you to read the ebook Success in 10 Steps and listen to the 2 follow up audios, which I will send to you myself.  Audio #2, “5 Pillars to Your Success” is absolutely brilliant.  Michael defines a simple and very effective way to evaluate a business or program so that you can ensure it is the right one for you.  Above all that, to help you to avoid scams and Ponzi schemes that could cost you not only your hard earned money but more importantly your freedom.

In building a stable, profitable mlm organization, you must

1. have a tested and proven lead generation training system for your team to use immediately
2. Expand your ability to coach your team to success with your system

The key element that can coach your team to success is you. You must know and understand your own WHY and focus on it every day. You should know exactly what motivates you or how will you will ever be able to find what motivates them?   If they don’t get their WHY hammered out in the beginning, they will sooner or later abandon their business.   They won’t be able to  keep their commitment, if they don’t understand why they are doing their daily work.

Reread the first chapter of Success in 10 Steps, if you are even the slightest  unclear about your WHY. You find at least 20 questions in that section to help you identify your motivation.

Not to mention … You will be much happier and better equipped to help others and lead them to their WHY, which will help you all achieve the desired objectives.  That’s what a Coach needs in order to be great.


Why Mentoring for Free in the Authors Own Words

Everyday it seems I have people asking me why      I mentor people for free.

First of all I understand their skepticism.  It’s normal and it’s healthy.  But really, its a shame that people are so skeptical and cynical that they can not seem to understand how someone would help them out with no strings attached.

Do you think that maybe they are thinking that way because they wouldn’t extend themselves to help someone for nothing?  Hmmm

You’ve been in network marketing for how long now?  What kind of time and money have you lost, trying to figure it out on your own?  Have you ever prayed in the middle of the night asking for someone to help.  Ask yourself, what would you do to help someone avoid the problems that you went through.  Wouldn’t you want to warn others of hazards ahead, or would you stand idley by and watch them get hurt?

One of the stories I tell people is this.

Let’s say your on a city street corner and you see a sweet, little old lady about to cross the street but you also see a huge bus speeding down the street.  Its obvious if you dont do something she will be struck down.  Do you ask her first for payment or do you just act and save her?

Well DUH!  You save her right.  Ok, now that you saved her life, do you ask her for payment?  Of course NOT!  What kind of person would do such an aweful thing?

Well that my dear friend is why I participate in the Mentoring for FREE program.  We are helping thousands of people globally and ya we do it for free because its the right thing to do.

Here is Michael’s reason.


If You Were Oprah, What Would You Do?

I don’t know about you, but I sure would be angry enough to sue people or companies who are using my name and influence to peddle their stuff.  Well Oprah and Dr. Oz are to.   Just because a celebrity makes a reference to a certain fruit or food doesn’t mean they endorse it people!

Here is a little tidbit I picked up from a great site for MLM news and changes to our fabulous industry.

From the very knowledgeable Rod Cook’s site MLM Watchdog

Winfrey and Oz have filed law suits against 40 companies (some of them MLM) selling açaí or other  products, with their name endorsements on them. The lawsuit says companies are “fabricating quotes or falsely using Ms. Winfrey’s & Oz’s name about brands they never endorsed.”  They don’t endorse dozens of açaí berry products claiming their seal of approval so it is lawsuit time!

Dr. Oz said on Good Morning America, “Many Americans have seen images of me, and Oprah and others supporting, it would appear, products that actually don’t work in the ways that are described,” Oz said in an exclusive interview Thursday with ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “And more importantly, when consumers trusting us try to buy these products over the Web, what they end up getting are fake products, pills that don’t really have what’s promised in them. They’re often duped into paying more than they should. If my picture is next to a product, endorsing it and supporting your purchase of it, I did not give them permission.”

If you were Oprah or Dr. Oz what would you do?  Does your company or people in the company do things like that?  Would you call that ethical practice?  Would you consider that “good business”?  I know more than most of you wouldn’t , but please keep your eye open for those that would.  They are the ones that are giving our great industry such a bad name.  Watch out if they do.

Just something to think about folks.

Are You Coachable?

tt0131202So you’ve found yourself a coach or a mentor that is doing what you want to do.  You want to be able to accomplish what they have.  Now what?  How can you make sure you get the best out of your experience?

You need to make sure that you are coachable.

What does this mean?

When a person is coachable, they do 2 things consistently.  They do what the coach tells them to do without questioning it.  And the second thing is even more important than the first.  They ask for FEEDBACK!

We’ve all heard the saying, “There is always room for improvement.”  I believe that to be true.   Sometimes it only takes a little tiny tweek to make a huge improvement to the play.  Perhaps by starting on the left foot instead of the right can give a player a fraction of a second that could change a plays outcome.

When we listen to our coach and do what they tell us, and then follow up with asking for feedback then we are truly coachable.

Are you coachable?

Your "WHY" Must Be in Place First!

May 042009

In order for you to build a stable, profitable network marketing business, you must be able to offer your prospects a tested, proven lead generation & training system and develop into a coach that can coach your team to victory in your system.

The most important element of being able to coach your recruits to victory is … you. You must have the same faith and belief and understand your WHY and focus on it daily.

You need to know exactly what motivates YOU.  If you don’t know for yourself, how will you ever be able to help your prospects figure out what motivates them?  And if they are not able to define their WHY, then sooner or later they’ll drift away .

They won’t be able to maintain their daily commitment if they can’t see exactly why they’re doing it.

Re-read Chapter 2 of Success In 10 Steps if you’re at all stumped over your WHY. You’ll find at least 20 questions in that chapter to help you narrow your focus to find your very solid WHY.

Remember, everything you learn for yourself, you will be able to help others do the same.  After all that is the name of the game… duplication.

You Need ALL 5 Pillars to Succeed

Your lack of success is NOT your fault.  Without all 5 Pillars to your success in place, your success is greatly reduced.  You wouldn’t drive a car with just 3 wheels would you?  Would you live in a house with all 4 walls and roof but that is missing the floor?  Of course not.  Well, when your building a network marketing company, and your goal is to build a big enough business to retire on and keep growing while your away on a 6 month vacation, you NEED all 5 Pillars in place.

Finding the Cure for Frustrated, Struggling Network Marketers

Posted by Henrietta at 7:03 pm MLM Relationships, mlm education 3 Responses »
Mar 042009

Network marketers are always eager to get started building their new found MLM company with a passion. They are eager to learn everything and sign up many.
A couple of weeks later reality sets in.  It’s not as easy as they were lead to believe or how they thought it would be. They run to their sponsor
looking for the magical answer to the greatest of mystery questions. “How do I do this?”

Many sponsors, whether they will admit or not, are in the same boat as the newbie. Except now they have an additional burden. They are now thinking, “If I don’t know the answer, you (the new recruit) will leave me. The sponsor then, like a well training parrot, starts to repeat all the wonderful sounding “sponsoring tips” that their sponsor told them.

The recruit is left feeling as if they are doing something wrong and they keep trying to get it right. The sponsor is left feeling the same thing but with the added fear of losing their new recruit due to not being able to have all the answer to their questions.

What is the cure for both frustrated networkers? The answer is simple. Have a proven, duplicate-able system.

Network marketing is a “people” business. A major component in a good solid system is it’s people or team. One person can not be expected to know everything, so by having a team, you don’t need to know everything. You have a whole team to
derive knowledge from. You need to work with like minded people that have a high level of integrity. That eliminates the worry that someone in the system will sweet talk your leads away from you and put them into their own business. Besides, if someone is able to sweet talk your lead away, would you really be secure with having them in your group? Probably not.

The system you choose should also provide you real ways to
attract people and show you how to generate your own leads. Buying leads is not a proven duplicate-able system. Making a list of your warm market is not a proven duplicate-able system. If that is part any part at all of what your considering using as a system, turn around and run. It is Not duplicate-able.

The system should also be able to help the people you sponsored to generate their own leads and train their downline whether they are new to network marketing or they’re a veteran with many years of experience. That is how the business will duplicate itself without you having to do all the training or answering all the questions yourself. You want your people to have all the tools to find the answers.

If you’re building your MLM business without this type of system, but you’re putting the focus on your own expertise, you will never be able to retire. Your people will not learn how to be self-sufficient and neither will their people. Instead make it all about the education and the system. This removes the stress on you. It removes the feeling of being responsible for someone else’s success.
You are only responsible for your own success.

If your new rep is not willing to learn this type of system and take the mount of time to get trained, then it’s pretty safe to say that they aren’t ready to be a professional network marketer. And do you know what? That’s perfectly ok. It’s just not for them.

Are You Thinking Like A Prospect or a Recruiter?

Posted by Henrietta at 6:23 pm mlm education No Responses »
Jan 292009

You’ve found yourself a 5 Pillar company and now you’re ready to start to sponsor people into the business.
In order to effectively sponsor and help those people grow into productive network marketers, you need to know and understand how prospects think.

Let’s put it to the test.  How much do you think like your prospects.  Rate these five concerns #1 being the most important to new prospects.

  • Upline Support
  • Marketing Plan and Potential Earnings
  • Products
  • Who Gave the Presentation
  • Training Provided

Here are the answers so you can see where you stand with your prospects and how you can adjust to better understand them.

  1. Who Gave the Presentation.

It’s YOU that gave them the presentation. 

        2.  Upline Support

Again it’s about YOU.  They want to know that You care about them and their goals and dreams. 
They want to know you will be there to help them not just grab your
bonus check and forget them.

        3.  Training Provided

New prospects , whether they are experienced or newbies in network marketing, want to know that there is a system in place and that they will be able to do it.  They want reassured that you can and will help them every step of the way.

         4.  Marketing Plan & Potential

Now and only now will the prospect start thinking about money and what exactly they will have to do to earn it.  They are thinking that You + Them= Success.   They know if they don’t receive the help they need in order to learn skills, they will in all probability not receive a check.

         5. Products

They want to know what is the product and can they use it.  Thats it in a nutshell.

Do you see how this is starting to lay out yet?  A prospect wants to get to know that you will lead them all the way through the process so that they can one day be a leader of their own organization one day.  They want to know if they can learn to do what you do and if they will have any problems showing their people how to do it to.

This isn’t rocket science.  Network marketing is a “PEOPLE” business not a “sales” business.  If your not interested in building relationships with the people you want to sponsor, you think selling is what needs to be done, then just quit.  You will have more success selling refrigerators at Sears than you will in network marketing.

Beware of False Profits

Posted by Henrietta at 10:36 pm Choosing a MLM, mlm education No Responses »
Jan 222009

One of the biggest and oldest types of scams that makes me either want to scream in anger or cry with sorrow is the abundance of religious scams.  Scum praying on the innocence or naivete of church going folks is criminal using their trust and religious beliefs against them.
Have you heard the bible verse, “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves” Matthew 7:15?

A soft spoken person, who dresses nicely and and quote the bible, does not make a trust worthy person.  I have seen people that will help their targets with problems and appear to be so wonderful and then con them out of thousands of dollars.  Scum like that destroy a persons sense of personal safety, sense of good judgment, perhaps even their financial security and not to mention the stress and health issues that can stem from a devastating scam.

Here is a story that occurred in British Columbia Canada.
Meet God’s Fraud Squad

Part of being a mentor is helping people “SEE” for themselves the difference between legit and illegal programs.  Sometimes people do not want to see the truth and it becomes too late to help them.  If you are part of an illegal program, whether you are aware of it or not, you can be criminally charged for fraud.  Its a harsh reality but its the truth.
Pastor Sentenced: 15 Years for Scam

Please do your due dilligence and LEARN how to think NOT what to think.before you pay for something.  If you are not receiving a product worth more or of equal value of the money they want you to pay, then run away.  Also pay with a credit card so you have support if you need to report fraud.

Mentoring for Free can keep you free of scams and out of jail.  Take the time to earn money from home the right way and choose a company with ALL 5 Pillars.
