At Mentoring For Free we teach you how to think not what to think and the education process takes time and effort. Our team leaders have put together many trainings that explain why buying leads is a scam! Please do not take this information lightly. You could be putting your business and reputation in serious jeopardy by not knowing the truth.
It is against the law to send your product or service offer to an OPT-IN lead that you bought or were gifted as a bonus to join some company.
Do you understand this?
Maybe this will make it clearer to you…You cannot buy an OPT-IN lead of ANY kind from ANYONE and then turn around and send Your Offer to that lead because that person Never OPTED-IN for Your Offer; they Opted-IN for the Lead seller's offer. If You send Your Offer to them You are guilty of SPAM and You will be prosecuted under the Law that YOU broke."
Are you guilty of doing this?
My purpose here is to educate you so you don't fall for the lies of these sleazy lead brokers. Just think about it…why would a lead broker sell you a lead if they were any good? They wouldn't! They would use the lead to build their own home-based business to create a walk away monthly income.
If you are serious about avoiding the pitfalls of this industry and creating a successful future in MLM then Michael Dlouhy's e-book Success in 10 Steps is a must read! Most network marketers who read this e-book learn how to protect their reputation and MLM business, but some don't because they never take the time to read it.

Are You Thinking Like Your Prospect?
Are you thinking like your prospect when it comes to what is important to them about your network marketing business? Do you think that your prospect wants to know all about your company; its history, its founders, how long they have been in business, etc?
Of course this may be important to you, but it is not the first thing that is important to your prospect. Think back to when you got started in your network marketing business…why did you get involved? Was it because you trusted the person who told you about it? Did you get involved because you had a relationship with this person? Most likely the answer is "yes".
To be a successful network marketer it is necessary to know what is important to your prospect. "Big Al" Tom Schrieter has traveled all over the world promoting his MLM business and he has discovered what is important to people in their decision to join a MLM company. And the truth is, the most important thing is "who gave the presentation". This is a people business and your prospect wants to know that you care about him or her. When you care about them they can relate to you. They need to like you and be able to work with you.
People want to know that you will work together with them to help them achieve success. It is critical that you offer the proper training which will raise their belief and confidence level in themselves as well as the MLM industry before you send them out on their own. Think about it…when you work for a conventional company you are trained in the job position before you are turned loose. And even then, you'll have someone you can turn to when you need help. Then, why would it be any different in the MLM industry?
So, get to know your prospect; get them plugged into the appropriate training program; introduce them to your team members. Remember it is not about you and what you want. It is all about your prospect and what he or she wants. So start to think like your prospect!

Words Are A Creative Force
We often hear how our thoughts are powerful and they are, but the words that we speak are even more powerful. Words are a "creative force". God spoke His creation into existence when He said: "Light be, and light was". You'll see this all through the book of Genesis…"God said" and it was. God has given us the power to change our circumstances through the words that we speak.
Your words have a greater power than your thoughts to change your circumstances. For example: My sister, a Certified Nurse's Aid, told me about a recent experience with one of her patients. Susie (not her real name) hurt all over and when my sister went to move her she became abusive. Instead of reacting back with harshness and insensitivity, my sister chose to speak kind and compassionate words. Immediately Susie's countenance changed and she told my sister that she was sorry. Susie became more cooperative and accepting of my sister's help. The words that my sister spoke created an environment of love and acceptance rather than one of anger and hostility.
You may be wondering what this has to do with your network marketing business. Well, think about it…if your words have the power to change your circumstances (just as they did for my sister), then they have the power to frame your business world. To be successful in all areas of your life it is important to grasp the truth of the power of your words. When you say words of doubt, worry, fear, etc. you set yourself up for failure. When you speak words of confidence, trust, belief in yourself, you set up a structure for success.
There are three simple action steps that you can take to start to create success in your MLM business.
Step 1.) Write down 4 or 5 key words and/or phrases that you use regularly to describe yourself, others and certain situations in your life or business. Do you use words such as "I can't", "maybe", "I don't", "if only"? Can you see how your words limit the growth of your business?
Step 2.) Choose words and phrases such as "I am", I will", "I am confident", "I do believe"…words that are uplifting and bring increase and success to your business.
Step 3.) Become a part of a mastermind group where you will be lifted up and encouraged to keep focused on using uplifting words that will bring success to your network marketing business.
Remember, God has given you the power to change your circumstances through His "creative force", words. Just as my sister was able to change the mood of her patient by her words, you can also use the "creative force" of your words to transform your network marketing business into success.
Most network marketers who align themselves with a mastermind group discover the power of genuine team support. But some just keep on struggling trying to make it on their own.

Network Marketer - Have You Fallen Into "the Chasing Trap"?
Most network marketers have fallen into "the chasing trap" in their network marketing business. What exactly is "the chasing trap"? It is when you want more for your prospects than they want for themselves. It is when you keep thinking or saying to yourself, "If I could only make them understand what I have to offer, then they will own their life". You chase them around trying to convince them that your opportunity and/or products are the "greatest thing since sliced bread".
Getting caught up in "the chasing trap" only leads to frustration and weariness. It will never help you achieve your goals. If you are in this trap you are not alone for most network marketers have experienced this. We all have wondered why they just don't get it or how can we make them understand. Most of us have spent hours emailing, calling and chasing them down to no avail.
To escape "the chasing trap" your first commitment MUST be to your people, NOT to your personal profit. Look at network marketing as a relationship game, not a sales business. Get to know your prospect and what they want. When you put other people's desires before your personal gain then trust and loyalty develop. Ask yourself "WHY" should your prospects choose you over all the other home business options. Your job is to make an impression that they will never forget that puts you head and shoulders above your competition.
Spend your time with those who want your help: the ones who raise their hand. Stop chasing those who really don't want to help themselves and you will soon have a team of self-sufficient, highly motivated, successful people in your network marketing business.
The first step to escape "the chasing trap" is to read this free e-book Success in 10 Steps. It will give you tips and strategies that will elevate you above your competition.

Network Marketers: Do You Know What Your Prospect Wants?
Do you know what your prospect wants or are you like some network marketers…only interested in getting what you want?
The only thing that matters is what your prospect thinks, wants, wishes for, desires and needs. It is all about your prospect, not you. So start your relationship by listening, then you will know how to help them get what they want.
Your prospect wants a simple, proven, non-threatening marketing system that works: a system that generates high quality leads: provides a follow-up plan, and a first-rate sponsoring and training program. They want to know that there is a team of people who really cares and believes in them.
Your prospect expects you to be able to answer their questions or to guide them to the right source (hotlines, web pages, brochures, etc.) to answer any questions that you can't answer. It's not as important to know all the answers, as it is to know where to get the answers…this is where your team comes in.
Your key weapon in the battlefield of network marketing is your team. Most people want to belong to a team that manifests unselfishness in its purest form: genuine consideration for others.
"It's amazing how much can be accomplished
when no one cares who gets the credit."
——John Wooden
Would you like to have a simple proven system that generates quality leads and provides a follow-up plan and a first-rate sponsoring and training program? Would you like to belong to a team with a spirit of genuine consideration for others?
If your answer is "yes" then download and read this FREE e-book Success in 10 Steps.

The Secret Income of Multi-Millionaires
There are two types of income in the world, but only one will give you the freedom to "own your life". The first type of income is linear income, trading your time for money. Most people work for a living. If they don't work they don't get paid. The school bus driver gets paid when he drives a bus. When his shift ends, he stops getting paid. A surgeon gets paid when she performs surgery, but when she goes home she doesn't get paid.
Now this just may open your eyes…even though the surgeon gets paid a lot more money than the bus driver, they are both in the same boat. They both are trading their time for money. They receive income when they work…that's linear income. When they stop working their income stops.
The second type of income is the secret income of multi-millionaires. It's a lot different than linear income. It's called "royalty income". It's also known as passive, recurring or residual income. "Royalty income" is the secret to creating true wealth.
Royalty income usually refers to regular payments you may receive if you have published a book or any creative work that remains in distribution. For example, Elvis Presley wrote numerous hit songs, and now his daughter Lisa Marie collects a "royalty check" from the record company when his songs are played on the radio or downloaded from iTunes. She doesn't have to write any hit songs because her father did the work right one time. That's "royalty income".
Now imagine if you had a million dollars in your savings account and you knew exactly how to invest your money without losing it all. You did the work right one time and today you'd collect a dividend check of $5,000 every month. Even after you quit your job you would still make money. That's "royalty income".
I don't know about you, but this gets me really excited. This is exactly the type of income that I want in my life. I could do what I want, when I want, and with whom I want. I could give more time and money to charities of my choice.
Now you may be thinking that you're not a writer or singer…you have no special talents like Elvis. Well there is good news for people like you and me with little talent. Yes, there is hope! There is another way to develop royalty income. It's called network marketing. You can learn step-by-step how to create "royalty income" from a few hundred dollars a month to well over $10,000 per month by downloading Michael Dlouhy's free e-book Success in 10 Steps.
Now you know the secret income of multi-millionaires and the good new is you can be one of them.

How Can You Create Team Staying Power?
Would it be okay if your network marketing team had "staying power"…the ability to keep working the business over a long period of time? What is it that keeps people going? My friend and mentor Michael Dlouhy says, "It's not goals. It's not money either. It's your WHY that will keep you going."
"My WHY"…my purpose is to sow seeds of love, patience, encouragement, faith, hope, trust and prosperity. I am here to love, encourage, and inspire others to live with passion: to give my time, money and knowledge to help others find their God given purpose so they can live their life with enthusiasm; to be an effective leader and help others become all they were created to be…fruitful, successful, profitable, rewarding, and rich!
My why is to be the best sister, friend, leader and mentor that I can possibly be: to love, serve, and spend quality time with my family, friends, and clients. I persistently seek truth, wisdom, counsel and knowledge so I can give sound instruction to others. My why is to make a positive impact on as many peoples lives as I can while I'm here on this earth.
Crafting Your Why
There are two types of people: those who know their purpose and live with passion, and those who don't know their purpose (their why) and continue to live in mediocrity.
What’s your Why? Everyone needs motivation to get up in the morning, and it has to be very strong. What motivates you? What makes you so happy that you get goose-bumps?
If you can’t close your eyes and clearly see your Why, then now is the time to get clarity.
Begin crafting your why by reflecting on the three major areas of your life…
Personal: What are your values, what is important to you, what do you cherish about your life, how do you want to be remembered?
Relationships: What type of friend, son, daughter, wife, husband, brother, sister, mother, father, aunt, uncle are you?
Freedom: What degree of freedom do you want and what will you do with your freedom?
To create your team "staying power" download Michael Dlouhy's free e-book Success in 10 Steps. Most people who download and read this e-book find out their lack of success in building a strong team with "staying power" is not their fault, but some just never take the time to read it and continue to struggle in building a successful business. When you read this e-book you will become a part of a mastermind group that will help you create team "staying power".
