with the book on 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastination and Get  More Done in Less Time, called, Eat That Frog,  by Brian Tracy.

Of course, you cannot  ‘eat the elephant’ all in one setting, so plan goals for a smaller  period of time first and put together over the whole year, it will be  worth it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Most  people do best with 90 day runs or goals for a three month (quarter of  the year) period.  Set your goals for 90 days and the readjust and set  them for the next 90 days until.... it never has to stop until you do.  Each 90 day run will encourage the next 90 days and build on the last 90  days.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Remember,  not to use excuses to slow you down.  Life is going to happen in 2011,  just like it did in 2010.  This year has held it’s trials and blessings  for many people including me. I often used life happenings as an excuse  until someone asked me, “Is this your business or a hobby?” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Why  is it that we treat a home based business like a hobby and not with the  priority and commitment that a business should hold for us? (You have  to answer that one for yourself.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Does  your business take precedence over the laundry, dishes, housecleaning,  etc? I don’t mean that these things are not to be done when it is time  to do them, just work them into your business schedule! not the other  way around. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Here is a list that will get you started thinking about what You Need to be Successful in Your Business in 2011: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;       1.

But not network marketing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In  network marketing, it's different. In the beginning, you do a lot of  groundwork and foundation building, and you don't make a lot of money.  If you were being paid hourly, you could complain that you were  underpaid or getting less than minimum wage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, most  network marketing leaders look at this building period as a learning  period. It's like going to school. But, instead of paying tuition, you  can earn some money while you learn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you complete  the groundwork and foundation, the money formula changes drastically.  Now, you are getting paid bonuses every month, even if you don't work  hard or when you take a vacation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, in the beginning  you do a lot of work that you don't get paid for, but in the end you get  a lot of pay for when you don't work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's why professionals want to get into network marketing. They like the residual income and the financial security it brings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On  a sad note, there are some individuals who get into network marketing  and build a foundation. But because they didn't feel they earned enough  money during this learning and building stage of their career, they  quit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, they quit just before they go into the  collecting stage of their careers. I guess the rewards go to people with  persistence and vision.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Written by Art Jonak, CEO of MLMPlayers.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a great week!&lt;br /&gt;Debbie Engler&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-2517519420367820541?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/2517519420367820541/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=2517519420367820541' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/2517519420367820541'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/2517519420367820541'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2010/09/how-to-get-professionals-to-understand.html' title='How To Get Professionals To Understand and Join Your Business by Art Jonak'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-6941240571007394648</id><published>2010-08-23T13:56:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-23T14:10:46.826-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Success in 10 Steps'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='constant stream of hot prospects'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='determined to be successful'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Debbie Engler'/><title type='text'>Spotting MLM Cutthroats</title><content type='html'>At the bottom of page 11 of Success In 10 Steps, you see a reference to  "greed and ego." That gives you another good point to make with your  prospect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prospects don't come into this process thinking about  "greed &amp;amp; ego". But if they have experience in MLM, there's a good  chance they've already run into the problem. It's worthwhile pointing  out that the greed &amp;amp; ego of sponsors and/or companies is one of the  reasons so many prospects are never successful in network marketing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let them know how important it is to have their radar up and operating sensitively.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This  doesn't mean you search for some Pollyanna who lives their life only  for others. Putting yourself first is the natural order.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What it  does mean is that you MUST avoid sponsors whose goal is to be successful  no matter who they have to step on. You want someone who is determined  to be successful by creating those win-win relationships with others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A  lot of times, you can actually hear this in their voice and in what  they say about the business and about others. One of these clowns once  told me that 95% of all prospects were dead wood, and he just kicked  them out of the way. Not only was he proud of it, but he thought anyone  who didn't do that was a fool. What more could you possibly need to know  about this guy?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you've got to watch and listen and train  yourself to spot "greed &amp;amp; ego" before you join a company where you  are smack-dab in the middle of it. Your best bet is definitely to avoid  it from the start. Once you are in a group dominated by the greed and/or  ego of its leader(s), you are lost. It's a situation you must train  yourself to see and walk away from.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To build your own big income  in M-L-M, the people you sponsor will need a constant stream of hot  pr0spects.

It's  never about the money. No Money Focus = No Greed. Build people and  people will build the business.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;People are people. They are not a number. They have goals, dreams  &amp;amp; desires. Network marketing is not a sales business. Network  marketing is a teaching &amp;amp; mentoring business. So the track record  &amp;amp; attitude of leadership is critical.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;When you've joined a business and someone calls you, telling you to  make a list of your friends &amp;amp; family, I can promise you that they do  not have a system. "Friends &amp;amp; family" is what has been puked  downline for the last 50 years, and that is the reason for such high  failure rates in MLM.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;It's Really All About Target Marketing&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You've got to find people who will raise their hand, looking for you and/or your product, your service, your opportunity.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Too often, somebody calls you up, pitching you. They don't even know  who you are. They don't care who you are. They don't care anything about  you.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I've heard certain network marketing leaders say, "It's a  relationship business." And many of these people have never built a  relationship with anybody. Nobody on their team would want to go on a  one-month cruise with them.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Some "Leaders" Don't Even Want To Be Around Their People At Convention!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Why? It's all about the greed &amp;amp; the ego. The fancy watch, fancy  jewelry, fancy suit, exotic cars, being the superstar, all that stuff.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Do they ever help the person who's been squashed by life? Do they  ever pay for the next guy going through the toll gate? Do they ever just  freely give their time to mentor others, expecting nothing in return?  Do they ever use their income to buy good tools for those in their group  who are obviously trying to build?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;No, they don't.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Instead, it's always about greed &amp;amp; ego, me, me, me. It's never about the other person.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You truly have to care about people. And then you won't have the  greed and the ego. And THAT is the kind of person who can build huge in  network marketing, because you will attract people just like you!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;To Your Success,&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Deborah Engler&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;864-379-8156&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;debbieengler@gmail.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;           "Be A Mentor With A Servant's Heart!"&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;wbr&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.bigmlmlies.com/?mad=38179"&gt;http://ddengler2.bigmlmlies.com/?mad=38179&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-7970756039686070015?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/7970756039686070015/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=7970756039686070015' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/7970756039686070015'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/7970756039686070015'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2010/08/greed-and-ego-are-kiss-of-death-in.html' title='Greed And Ego Are The Kiss of Death In Network Marketing'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-1975728363306877926</id><published>2010-08-10T17:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-10T17:31:17.731-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='retire for the rest of my life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tom”Big Al” Schreiter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='replace my full-time income'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='take advantage of this wonderful opportunity'/><title type='text'>We Are Going to Have to Fire You</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Imagine you’re at work one day, and your boss comes to you and says,&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“Bad news, we’re going to have to fire you. Business is bad. And the  economy stinks.”&lt;br /&gt;You feel depressed. No more career. No more regular paychecks.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And then the boss says,&lt;br /&gt;“You  know what? If you were to work just one extra hour overtime every  day  for free, from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, we’ll let  you  keep your job and you can continue collecting your same paycheck.”&lt;br /&gt;Now, what would you do?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Well, most people would say,&lt;br /&gt;“Well,  I will work the extra hour of overtime just to keep my job. I  know I  will be working the extra hour for free, but it is important to  keep my  present job.”&lt;br /&gt;And then the boss says,&lt;br /&gt;“Well, I know it’s kind of  bad news for you but there is some good  news. If you work an hour of  overtime, Monday through Friday for no  pay, just one extra hour a day . .  . at the end of two years, we’ll let  you retire at full pay.”&lt;br /&gt;All of a sudden, how do you feel?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You feel like saying,&lt;br /&gt;“Wow!  Excellent! What an opportunity! Just work one hour overtime for  free,  Monday through Friday, and two years from now . . . I retire at  full  pay!”&lt;br /&gt;So what would happen?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You’re working overtime and six months later one of your friends  says,&lt;br /&gt;“Hey, why don’t you quit doing that? You’re working an hour overtime and  not getting paid for it.”&lt;br /&gt;You say to your friend,&lt;br /&gt;“No way! I only have 18 more months to go and then I’m going to retire!”&lt;br /&gt;A year from now, maybe your spouse says,&lt;br /&gt;“You  know what, dear? You’ve been working that free hour of overtime  for the  past 12 months. Why don’t you spend more time here at home  instead of  working that hour overtime?”&lt;br /&gt;You say,&lt;br /&gt;“No, no, no! Just one more year and I can retire at full pay.”&lt;br /&gt;And you would be at work faithfully, Monday through Friday, working that  overtime so you could retire.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And you would be excited about the opportunity.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Well, we have the same opportunity to retire with our network  marketing business.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We  ask people to spend one hour a day, Monday through Friday  building a  network marketing business. And all you have to do is talk  to some  people.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And you don’t have to worry too much about what you say  or how good  you are, because you know what? You’ll get better. The  longer you do  network marketing, the more you’ll learn.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;So maybe after the first month you say,&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“Gee, I really don’t know what to say.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The second month you get a little better and say,&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“Well, I know the name of the company is the Wonderful Company.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The third month you get better at this and say,&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“I think this is a neat business. You might want to look at it.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And the fourth month you get better and better.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Just invest an hour a day. And at the end of two years you might be  pleasantly surprised and say,&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“You know what? I can replace my full-time income, and retire for the  rest of my life.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;So – would you take advantage of that opportunity?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you are like most people, you will want to take advantage of this  wonderful opportunity. But, you won’t do it.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Here is why you won’t do it.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;A little voice inside of your head is saying,&lt;br /&gt;“But  what if it doesn’t work? What if I waste an hour a day over those  two  years? What if I’m not good at this? I don’t know anyone who has  retired  in network marketing. I only know people who retired with a  pension  from a job. This might not be a sure thing.”&lt;br /&gt;Yes, you’re going to have some doubt. You will have a belief problem.  And that’s pretty natural.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;So here is what we are going to do to help you with your belief.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;To  encourage you along the way, every so often we’re going to send  you a  check in the mail — just to keep your spirits up as you build  your  two-year business.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;When you get these occasional checks, you will say,&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“I know it works! I’ve got these checks to prove it.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And that is why you want to start your business today.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h5&gt;&lt;em&gt;Written by Tom”Big Al” Schreiter from &lt;a href="http://fortunecow.com/" target="_blank"&gt;www.fortunenow.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-1975728363306877926?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/1975728363306877926/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=1975728363306877926' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/1975728363306877926'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/1975728363306877926'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2010/08/we-are-going-to-have-to-fire-you.html' title='We Are Going to Have to Fire You'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-8593719829338458209</id><published>2010-07-12T19:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-12T19:53:17.851-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='no matter what company'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mentor with a servant&apos;s heart'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='It is the right thing to do'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Michael Dlouhy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mentoring for Free'/><title type='text'>My Dad Would Have Been Great in Network Marketing</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;I'd like to tell you about someone who was very special in my life.&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;People ask me a lot why we do mentoring for free. They want  to know what my angle is. Some of them really put time into figuring  out how I'm going to take advantage of them.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Let me tell you a story.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I was a kid. Maybe 10 years old. My dad heard about a basketball  court in a local churchyard where the old backboard &amp;amp; basket were in  really bad shape.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Dad couldn't buy a backboard. So he went to the lumberyard and bought  a 3/4" piece of plywood. He bolted it together, made a nice big, thick  backboard, painted it white, put a basketball hoop on it, backed up his  pick-up truck.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And he's standing there up in the bed of the pick-up, on a Saturday,  putting this backboard up - when the preacher drives up.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The preacher asks, "What are you doing?"&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Dad says, "I'm putting up a backboard."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Preacher: "Well, I don't know YOU!"&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Dad: "No."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Preacher: "Well, why're you doing it?"&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I'll never forget that. Now here's a man, a pastor, a man who leads a  congregation, and he couldn't understand why my dad was doing that.  Wow! I sure wouldn't want that pastor leading ME!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;He couldn't figure that one out.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;That's The Kind of Stuff My Dad Did All The Time!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I'm so thankful that I learned from him and just took it right over  to network marketing.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;My father had a garage in Cleveland, Ohio. He had a customer who used  to come in, to buy gasoline from my dad. Dad serviced his car, a '57  Chevy. It had about 200,000 miles on it, had a bad motor, needed a valve  job.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The guy's name was Ernie. He came into the shop one day and told my  dad, "My wife and I &amp;amp; our 2 kids are moving to Florida. Can you  check out my car, see if it'll make it?"&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Dad said, "That car won't make it around the block."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Ernie says, "I don't have any money."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And all Dad knew was, this man bought gas from him. Didn't know him  from Adam.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;At the time, my Dad was feeding 5 children, 5 boys. Anyway, Dad did a  valve job on that 6-cylinder Chevrolet engine. He put in new belts  &amp;amp; hoses, got it in perfect shape, so it would make it to Florida.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And Ernie told my father, "Frank, when I get to Florida, and I get  some money ahead, I'll send it to you."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And he did. It was about a year, but Ernie sent Dad the money. He had  moved to Florida, and he started building homes. That was back in what  they called the "5990s". You got a lot, a new home with a garage for  $5,995. They were called the "5990s". And Ernie became one of the  biggest homebuilders in Florida.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;My mother had bad health, a bad heart. The doctor said the best thing  for her would be to get out of Ohio and move to a warmer climate. Dad  said, "How about Florida?"&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Well, Ernie Russaw had invited my dad to come down there. Dad &amp;amp;  mom went down for a vacation, and when I was 6, in 1959, we moved to  Florida.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Diaster - Then a Miracle - In Ohio -&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;My father used to race stock cars. Work was tough to get in Florida,  and after a few years there, my dad went back to Ohio to work in a  garage he had. His old stock car buddies convinced him to build them  some engines.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;My dad built the engines, and his buddy went to the track. He set a  new track record with the motor my dad built. My dad was setting the  timing on the race car, and you have to rev the engine up to do it. You  can't use the timing light, because it has a big cam in it.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;So the car was idling, and Dad revved the engine a couple times. This  was a standard shift with a pressure plate, and the pressure plate had a  crack in it. It exploded, came out through the bell housing, hit my dad  in the left leg. And it cut his left leg almost completely off.¬ &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;It severed the bone, crushed the bone. Five inches of the bone was  missing. Only thing holding his leg on was the muscle in the back.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;So they got him on a stretcher and took him to the hospital. The  doctor decided to snip the muscle in the back, amputate the leg.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And my father said, "No. You can't do that. I've got 5 children to  support. If you cut my leg off, you may as well shoot me."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The doctor said, "Frank, there's no other way."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And Dad said, "Go to the track, find the bone, find the pieces, put  that leg together, and it will heal. I believe it will heal."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;So they got all those crushed pieces of bone, all the fragments they  could find. They put the leg together, and they worked to make it the  same length as the other one. they put the bone fragments in, sewed it  up, put it in a cast - and it healed perfectly.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;My father wore a brace for about 3 years. He could still dance with  the brace on. He never walked with a limp. You never would have known he  had a bad leg.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And Then, a Miracle In Florida!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We made a trip up to Ohio to stay with Dad. I worked several months  on a farm to support the family. The labor I did paid for the rent and  groceries.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And when we finally got moved back to Florida, my dad needed a  garage. He had no money to put down for it, no way to pay. But Ernie  built my dad a garage, fully equipped, and my dad ran that garage the  rest of his life. Ernie paid my dad back for getting him started on his  own trip to Florida.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Was that a stretch for my dad to do a valve job on that '57 Chevy?  Yeah. We kids probably all ate beans for a few days. But he did it,  because that's who my dad was.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;People wonder why Linda &amp;amp; I do mentoring for free. I get asked  all the time why I spend 15 hours a week doing conference calls for any  network marketer, no matter what company they're in, for free.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And the answer is simple. It's the right thing to do. It's what my  dad would have done. I loved that man, and he was a shining example of  how to live your life. He would have been GREAT in network marketing!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Michael Dlouhy,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Mentor with a Servant's Heart&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-8593719829338458209?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/8593719829338458209/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=8593719829338458209' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/8593719829338458209'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/8593719829338458209'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2010/07/my-dad-would-have-been-great-in-network.html' title='My Dad Would Have Been Great in Network Marketing'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-8997952505995584641</id><published>2010-06-28T03:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-28T05:21:41.502-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Centurion Principles'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='loyalty and trust'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='servant&apos;s humility to those in authority'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='just and merciful heart'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jeff O&apos;Leary'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='personal choices'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='virtues of integrity and honesty'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='honor and character'/><title type='text'>The Fall of a Leader</title><content type='html'>06/28/10&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When a great leader falls because of a lack of integrity, it is&lt;br /&gt;very painful for all involved. Tearing another person down to&lt;br /&gt;build yourself up, only leads to a false impression of yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When someone is tearing others down in front of You this is&lt;br /&gt;a guarantee they will do the same to You behind Your back.&lt;br /&gt;Ultimately you will crash and burn from your lack of character.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would You Want This Person As Your Sponsor ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life can give us challenges in many areas of our life. How we&lt;br /&gt;handle those challenges ourselves and who helps us, can&lt;br /&gt;determine our success or failure. Loyalty to do the right thing&lt;br /&gt;enters into all decisions. Friendships built on loyalty and trust&lt;br /&gt;are like support beams for a foundation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A foundation is the beginning. This applies to your marriage,&lt;br /&gt;your friendships, your home and your business. If you build&lt;br /&gt;them correctly, they will sustain you your lifetime. If you&lt;br /&gt;build carelessly everything will crumble around you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leaders are built. Day by day, Lesson by lesson. When a&lt;br /&gt;leader chooses to fall, they sacrifice their integrity, their&lt;br /&gt;honor and their character.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If after knowing the facts and fully utilizing their "critical&lt;br /&gt;thinking skills" when someone decides to leave Your Team&lt;br /&gt;please wish them all the best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excerpt from "Launching a Leadership Revolution"&lt;br /&gt;Foundational Leadership Quality: Honorable&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Integrity can be considered as the condition of "not doing&lt;br /&gt;what's wrong." Character can be defined as doing the right&lt;br /&gt;things, for the mere reason that it is the right thing, even if&lt;br /&gt;that thing is difficult and unpopular.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two sewn together make honor. Author Jeff O'Leary,&lt;br /&gt;in The Centurion Principles, writes, " 'Honor' encompasses&lt;br /&gt;the virtues of integrity and honesty, self-denial, loyalty, and&lt;br /&gt;a servant's humility to those in authority above as well as a&lt;br /&gt;just and merciful heart to those below."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Honor is such a rarely used word in our times that it seems&lt;br /&gt;a little old-fashioned. But living a life of integrity and character&lt;br /&gt;is timeless and, for a leader, absolutely necessary. It's about&lt;br /&gt;choices, and a person's choices in life follow him to the grave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is this to say that a person needs to be perfect to become a&lt;br /&gt;leader? Of course not. Perfection in this life is not possible,&lt;br /&gt;and we, the authors, are certainly not exceptions. However,&lt;br /&gt;a leader must strive continually toward perfection even though&lt;br /&gt;she knows she can never exactly attain it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a question of the heart. The most effective leaders through&lt;br /&gt;out history have led with their hearts, in trust, and with honor.&lt;br /&gt;If a leader cuts corners, misuses people, or misrepresents, the&lt;br /&gt;truth, a time bomb begins ticking. Someday, somewhere, the&lt;br /&gt;bomb will go off. It is obvious in our times only too often: public&lt;br /&gt;figures at the pinnacles of power and fame crash and burn in&lt;br /&gt;the cloud of self-inflicted shame. From political scandals to&lt;br /&gt;high-profile corporate frauds, these calamities are brought&lt;br /&gt;on by a lack of honor in the leadership.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Human happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The difference between leaders we revile and those we praise&lt;br /&gt;is their individual level of honor. In fact, honor is the force that&lt;br /&gt;holds a leader's hunger in check.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without honor, hunger runs rampant and ultimately serves&lt;br /&gt;only selfish interests. Honor is the component that makes&lt;br /&gt;hunger productive for the leader's fellow man. In fact, what&lt;br /&gt;we are basically describing here is another "old-fashioned"&lt;br /&gt;word: duty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;George Washington said of duty, "Human happiness and&lt;br /&gt;moral duty are inseparably connected." So leadership is&lt;br /&gt;spawned by hunger and held in check by honor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under that combination, leaders will find happiness in the&lt;br /&gt;fulfillment of their duty to others. It has been said that the&lt;br /&gt;character of a man is the only thing that will walk back&lt;br /&gt;from the grave into the hearts of the people who knew him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is the legacy of a leader. The words a leader say and&lt;br /&gt;the walk a leader walks must match. As the saying goes,&lt;br /&gt;"Your word is your worth and your worth is your word."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Andy Stanley, author of The Next Generation Leader, says,&lt;br /&gt;"To become a leader worth following you must give time and&lt;br /&gt;attention to the inner man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To leave a legacy that goes beyond accomplishment alone,&lt;br /&gt;a leader must devote himself to matters of the heart."&lt;br /&gt;Character is developed in the valleys and the peaks of life,&lt;br /&gt;enabling a person to overcome obstacles and deal with&lt;br /&gt;success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abraham Lincoln observed, "Nearly all men can handle&lt;br /&gt;adversity, but if you really want to test a man's character -&lt;br /&gt;give him power." Character connects a person to what is&lt;br /&gt;right and true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If reputation is what others think of you, then character is&lt;br /&gt;what God knows about you. This concept of honor is so&lt;br /&gt;important to a leader because people will follow a leader&lt;br /&gt;only as far as they feel they can trust him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People will not follow a leader they can't trust. According&lt;br /&gt;to R. Ruth Barton, "We set young leaders up for a fall if&lt;br /&gt;we encourage them to envision what they can do before&lt;br /&gt;they consider the kind of person they should be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" Warren Bennis tells us, "In the leadership arena,&lt;br /&gt;character counts. I am not saying this casually, of studies,&lt;br /&gt;observations, and interviews with leaders and with the&lt;br /&gt;people near them.... I've never seen a person derailed&lt;br /&gt;from [leadership] positions for lack of technical competence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I've seen lots of people derailed for lack of judgment&lt;br /&gt;and character." And, as Heraclitus said, "Man's character&lt;br /&gt;is his fate." Finally, it should be remembered that a major&lt;br /&gt;component of honor is personal courage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without the courage to do what's right because it's right,&lt;br /&gt;regardless of ramifications to self, one is not truly worthy&lt;br /&gt;to be called a leader.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When people don't "Believe" they deserve Success they&lt;br /&gt;will self destruct every time.... This is the reason we tell&lt;br /&gt;everyone we meet to "Participate" in the 30 Day Mental&lt;br /&gt;Cleanse if You want to own Your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.30daycleanse.com/" target="_blank"&gt;www.30DayCleanse.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We Believe In You&lt;br /&gt;Michael &amp;amp; Linda Dlouhy&lt;br /&gt;352--799--8779 anytime.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-8997952505995584641?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/8997952505995584641/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=8997952505995584641' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/8997952505995584641'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/8997952505995584641'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2010/06/fall-of-leader.html' title='The Fall of a Leader'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-5992470927878980175</id><published>2010-06-22T10:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-22T10:16:54.407-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Patti Blevins'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='the success I had dreamed of'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='goldmine of free training with no talk about any specific company'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='motivated to be successful'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='make a list of my friends and family'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='love working from home'/><title type='text'>To Make More, You Have to Become More</title><content type='html'>&lt;div id="body"&gt;             &lt;h2&gt;Patti Blevins&lt;br /&gt;  MLM Success Story   &lt;img src="http://ddengler2.mentoringforfree.com/img/pics/Blevins.jpg" /&gt;   &lt;/h2&gt;                  &lt;p&gt;Iowa - When someone called me about "Success In 10 Steps", I didn't  even remember downloading the ebook. He  kept leaving voicemail  messages. I groaned ... I wasn't looking for something new. I was in my  second network marketing company in ten years and I was not open to anything  else. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;But ... I was curious why he would continue to call to offer his  "free mentoring and coaching". I finally read the ebook and got a new  perspective. It explained why my previous 10 years weren't close to the  success I had dreamed of.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Ten years ago, I resigned my 25 year career with the federal  government ... to do network marketing full-time. My husband and I  believed it would fall into place better if I committed to our business  full time. Resigning was a financial risk. I REALLY was motivated to be  successful.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I loved working from home. But it was tough to get friends and family  to opportunity meetings. My sponsor didn't help. Frustration built.  More time, more money. Home meetings after my husband got off work every  night. Finally, we couldn't justify the time and expense any longer, so  we quit.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Back to work as a church secretary ... and the pastor was an MLM  distributor. Of course, they had perfect products that I quickly fell in  love with. But, when I had to make a list of my friends and family ...  again ... the sick feeling in my stomach should have been a clue.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;They said to talk to everybody you run into about your business. I  hated that. There wasn't an ounce of "salesman" in me. I hated to go  shopping or to church, because I was supposed to move every conversation  toward my product. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I resigned the church secretary position to work my network marketing  business full time. The training in this company was more like  listening to sermons versus the 'rah-rah' in the last company. But I was  stressed out. I loved the products, I loved the people, I loved the  company ... WHY no success? My upline said I needed to do more, talk to  more people!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Now ... when I FINALLY took the time to read "Success In 10 Steps",  my eyes were opened. I got on the training calls, and I felt like I  finally had the cement block off my back. It was a goldmine of free  training with no talk about any specific company or product. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I had been working on personal growth for over 20 years ... I had  over 300 self-help books, highlighted, notes in the margins, some  falling apart from being read so much. So, I loved the Mental Cleanse  calls. The Mentoring For Free Mastermind is a group of supportive,  encouraging, loving people who would never criticize or judge. It was a  safe place, week after week after week.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I now love to share the Mentoring For Free education with other  struggling network marketers. I've spoken to hundreds of people who have  downloaded "Success In 10 Steps". When I ask if they are attempting to  create an income from home ... they ALL say "yes". That is what you call  a "targeted lead". I generated the lead, who already believes in  network marketing. Perfect!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;How can I help them? Whatever resource they need, they can probably  get it in MentoringForFree. And if and when we are meant to be business  partners, it will be for a lifetime. We will have built a relationship  by then.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Michael says that "to make more, you have to become more!" That's  what Mentoring For Free is all about.&lt;/h5&gt;      &lt;div class="ebook"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.successin10steps.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Click Here For E-Book&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;        &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-5992470927878980175?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/5992470927878980175/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=5992470927878980175' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/5992470927878980175'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/5992470927878980175'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2010/06/to-make-more-you-have-to-become-more.html' title='To Make More, You Have to Become More'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-8721416568639914220</id><published>2010-06-14T20:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-14T20:26:44.630-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='support you need for success'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='evaluate compensation plans'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='illegal pyramid'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='build an instant relationship'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Buying Leads'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bob and Anna Bassett'/><title type='text'>We Made Just About Every Mistake Possible!</title><content type='html'>&lt;h2&gt;Bob &amp;amp; Anna Bassett&lt;br /&gt;  MLM Success Story   &lt;img src="http://ddengler2.mentoringforfree.com/img/pics/Bassett.jpg" /&gt;   &lt;/h2&gt;         &lt;p&gt;Ontario - We started our network marketing career in 1999.  Over  the next seven years, we made just about every mistake possible! &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We worked five long years in a "sponsor monster" money swap company  with a pay plan so poor that we ended up with a remortgaged house, maxed  out credit cards and a bad case of the "What's Wrong With Me's?". &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We spent thousands of dollars buying useless leads and even bought  ourselves twice! &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We travelled thousands of miles and even walked on fire!  Our feet  got warmer but our check stayed the same. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We stumbled into an illegal pyramid which cost us thousands more. We  tried a Ponzi scheme before we knew what the word meant.  Ten thousand  more went to a mentoring program scam which taught us how to earn $21  split three ways! &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The flags were all there, but they weren't red enough. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In 2006, we read Success in Ten Steps and started to pay serious  attention to the Mentoring For Free system. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Our business turned around 180 degrees immediately. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We've learned &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;How to spot personalities and build an instant relationship with  them&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How to evaluate MLM compensation plans and contracts written by  company lawyers&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Most of all - the 5 criteria you must evaluate to decide whether  a company has good profit potential or not&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;   &lt;p&gt;It's a sad fact that well over 95% of networkers are failing, but  as Michael says, "It's not your fault!" &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you'd like to find the support you need for the success you  deserve, join us at Mentoring For Free. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;h5&gt;You'll be amazed at how just a few hours of free training will open  your eyes and help you avoid years of failure and frustration!&lt;/h5&gt;      &lt;div class="ebook"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.successin10steps.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Click Here For E-Book&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-8721416568639914220?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/8721416568639914220/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=8721416568639914220' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/8721416568639914220'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/8721416568639914220'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2010/06/we-made-just-about-every-mistake.html' title='We Made Just About Every Mistake Possible!'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-4335872482676063615</id><published>2010-06-11T19:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-14T20:18:45.192-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='no matter what company'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='education and teamwork'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='live interactive training that creates leaders'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tools to own my life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kaye Stephens'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='confidence and joy to share'/><title type='text'>The Pitcher Can't Win A Game By Himself</title><content type='html'>&lt;h2&gt;Kaye Stephens&lt;br /&gt; MLM Success Story   &lt;img src="http://ddengler2.mentoringforfree.com/img/pics/Stephens.jpg" /&gt;   &lt;/h2&gt;         &lt;p&gt;New Jersey - I am "LUCKY".  You might ask why I think that about  myself.  All of my life things have come to me easily until about 12  years ago when I joined my first M-L-M.  I loved the concept  immediately, but there was something lacking, I just couldn't identify  what it was.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I am a huge baseball fan. In baseball, you need a team.  Funny how  the pitcher can't win a game by himself.  He needs the catcher, the  infield and the outfielders. There are 9 players on the team.  Take away  one player and you can't even play the game.  Well, that is one of the  important things that was missing. A TEAM.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;At Mentoring For Free we have a TEAM that believe in you until you  believe in yourself. No matter what company you are promoting, the team  at Mentoring for Free will help you.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The second thing I was missing was ongoing training. Several days a  week, Mentoring For Free has live interactive training that creates  LEADERS.  I knew I was a leader but you can't ride a bicycle without  practice and interactive training.  I am so grateful for the ongoing  training that has given me the TOOLS to "Own My Life".&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The third thing that was missing was "Mental Cleanse" where you learn  "How to think" not "What to think".  This training program gives you  the confidence and the joy to share with other people and help them to  become the people that they are meant to be.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h5&gt;I just want to thank Michael and Linda Dlouhy and the rest of the  Mentoring For Free team for this wonderful program that is changing the  world of MLM one life at a time.&lt;/h5&gt;      &lt;div class="ebook"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.successin10steps.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Click Here For E-Book&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-4335872482676063615?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/4335872482676063615/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=4335872482676063615' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/4335872482676063615'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/4335872482676063615'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2010/06/pitcher-cant-win-game-by-himself.html' title='The Pitcher Can&apos;t Win A Game By Himself'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-5002176233670238019</id><published>2010-05-31T12:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-31T12:58:54.963-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='evaluate the company'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='proven duplicatable system'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='generate my own leads'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='where to advertise'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cindy Loewen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='be a critical thinker'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='personal development'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='identify prospects by personality'/><title type='text'>Network Marketing is like farming</title><content type='html'>&lt;h2&gt;Cindy Loewen&lt;br /&gt;  MLM Success Story   &lt;img src="http://ddengler2.mentoringforfree.com/img/pics/Loewen.jpg" /&gt;   &lt;/h2&gt;            &lt;p&gt;Manitoba - Rey and I have been married 30 years. We are grain  farmers in southern Manitoba, Canada. We love to spend time with our 3  wonderful kids: Chad (about to be married to Kelsey), Derek and Janessa.  We love travelling, boating, cycling, camping, and taking cruises. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We owned a trucking company for 13 years. I've been a bank teller for  10 years. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In 2004 and 2005 we had a crop failure. It had been too wet to even  put seed in the ground.  No seed, no harvest. In the winters of 2004 and  2005, Rey went long distance trucking to pay the bills. I needed to  make extra money, but didn't want to work the 9-5.  I wanted to work  flexible hours, be home with the kids, attend their activities, take  holidays when we wanted, and be available on the farm.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I saw a newspaper ad: "Make $5000.00/month  returning phone calls." I  love talking on the phone. $5000.00 a month was great. Sounded easy.  That is the day my network marketing began.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;But guess what? It wasn't that easy. Network Marketing is like  farming.  You have to seed before you  harvest.  It takes time for that  seed to grow. But with cultivation, care, rain, and sunshine there will  be a harvest.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I joined several companies, spent a lot of money on leads and  advertising.  I had downloaded the ebook "Success in 10 Steps", in March  2006, but never read it.  I struggled for a year.  I didn't know how to  train people who joined me. I didn't know how to mentor, motivate or  lead a team. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I read the Mentoring For Free website. I didn't believe Michael  Dlouhy would really mentor me, that he would teach me and my downline to  do this business. In March 2007, I finally read "Success in 10 Steps",  and went on my first conference call. It clicked. I knew I had found a  mentor and a proven, duplicatable system,  step-by-step instructions  that anyone can do.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I learned how to evaluate a company, how to be a critical thinker,  how to generate my own leads for free, how to call leads, how and where  to advertise, personal development, how to identify my prospects by  personality. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Best of all, Mentoring for Free is a network marketing family, a safe  place where people open up and share their struggles &amp;amp; their past,  with no judgment from anyone. When I joined, I didn't  believe in  myself. When Michael said he'd believe in me until I believed in myself,  it gave me hope that I could be successful. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;To have the harvest I want in MLM, I needed to get the weeds out of  my mind. That negataivity and low self-esteen had to go.  I learned to  paint new pictures in my mind, of who I want to be, and what success  looks like to me. Now I speak my future into reality.  It takes focus  and persistence and faith.  You have to believe it before you can see  it.  I know that if you plant corn, you will harvest corn. And if you  plant good seeds in your mind by reading good books and getting together  with like-minded positive people, then you will reap a great harvest. &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;h5&gt;Network Marketing is not about the money - it's about people.  Build people and then the people will build the business. Even if we  would never make any money in this businesses, we're growing and  becoming the people we were meant to be, and we're helping others grow  into leaders.&lt;/h5&gt;       &lt;div class="ebook"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.successin10steps.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Click Here For E-Book&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-5002176233670238019?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/5002176233670238019/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=5002176233670238019' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/5002176233670238019'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/5002176233670238019'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2010/05/network-marketing-is-like-farming.html' title='Network Marketing is like farming'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-7833559494374900167</id><published>2010-05-25T19:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-25T19:39:13.351-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Walter and Julie Reade'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='turn-key system'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='improving our skills'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='made network marketing truly enjoyable'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='helping othersbuild their business'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='build your business without changing who you are'/><title type='text'>We Couldn't Duplicate</title><content type='html'>&lt;h2&gt;Walter &amp;amp; Julie Reade&lt;br /&gt;  MLM Success Story   &lt;img src="http://ddengler2.mentoringforfree.com/img/pics/Reade.jpg" /&gt;   &lt;/h2&gt;        &lt;p&gt;Wisconsin - Julie and I were married in college. For seven years we  lived broke and happy while we finished our undergraduate and then  graduate programs. I entered the corporate world, where the money was  good and the work was fast-paced.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Over time, though, I noticed two trends. First, the stress and time  commitment grew faster than the salary. Worse, I started to see  hard-working productive people down-sized when they were too young to  retire, but old enough so it was tough to find new employment.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;The Time Was Right&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;Then an old friend moved near where I was working. We had dinner, and  he told me about a network marketing company with some impressive  technology.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;For the first 15 years of marriage, Julie and I avoided network  marketing. We had watched family members who had joined a well-known MLM  company. They were taught to live beyond their means (fake it 'til you  make it), use deceitful recruiting practices, and shun anyone who didn't  join their business. After three years of hard work, all they had to  show for it was massive debt.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;As my friend talked about this company, my natural inclination would  have been to blow it off. But the combination of job stress and concern  had me open to an alternative. I joined the company on the spot.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;We Couldn't Duplicate&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;Julie and I started building our business. With significant time,  travel, expense, and brute force, we started sponsoring people and  making a check. But we quickly hit a wall. The people we sponsored could  not duplicate our results. We were left with a largely inactive  organization.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;After we became completely burned out, we joined a different  company, more geared towards building on the phone and internet. We made  some progress, but it wasn't until we joined Mentoring for Free and  learned the skills needed to build a business that our organization  really took off.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;h3&gt;It's About the System&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;The reason for the growth in our organization was simple and obvious.  We finally had a turn-key SYSTEM that we could teach others to use to  grow THEIR organizations. For the first time, the growth of our  organization wasn't about us. It was about the SYSTEM.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;This is truly significant. Mentoring for Free allows us and others  on our team to build our business without having to change who we are.  The system is flexible. Anyone can use it and tailor it to their  strengths. This is what made network marketing a truly enjoyable  experience, rather than drudgery. I have my strengths. Julie has hers.  We both use Mentoring for Free successfully.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We enjoy improving our skills. We love helping others learn to build  their business. That's the other remarkable thing about Mentoring for  Free. We used to view network marketers in other companies as  competitors. Now, we absolutely enjoy helping any distributor in any  company learn the skills they need to become successful.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;What's Next?&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Mentoring for Free is the only organization I know of that provides  both the foundation for a successful network marketing career as well as  the skills required to build on that foundation. Having a coach and  mentor take Julie and me by the hand and walk us through the process has  been a rewarding experience. Now we are giving back, and we're having  more fun than ever.&lt;/h5&gt;      &lt;div class="ebook"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.successin10steps.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Click Here For E-Book&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-7833559494374900167?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/7833559494374900167/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=7833559494374900167' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/7833559494374900167'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/7833559494374900167'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2010/05/we-couldnt-duplicate.html' title='We Couldn&apos;t Duplicate'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-6683988672301557373</id><published>2010-05-19T08:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-19T10:54:25.210-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='understand our policies and procedures'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='directions on how to do mlm right'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='true workable system'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='key to success'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='educate and help'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tony and Melissa Casteel'/><title type='text'>NETWORK MARKETING IS A BLAST!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div id="body"&gt;             &lt;h2&gt;Tony and Melissa Casteel&lt;br /&gt;  MLM Success Story   &lt;img src="http://ddengler2.mentoringforfree.com/img/pics/casteel.jpg" /&gt;   &lt;/h2&gt;         &lt;h4&gt;If you are not having fun, then you are not doing network  marketing right! We love network marketing and what it offers!  People  ask us, "What the key to success?" The answer is simple:&lt;/h4&gt;   &lt;h4&gt;"FINISH!" &lt;/h4&gt; &lt;h4&gt; &lt;/h4&gt;   &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;It's not WHAT happens to you but HOW you react to it that  matters.                                                                                                       -Epictetus&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We were married in 1994.  Network marketing has been a big part of  our lives since then.   We have endured losses and thrilled in our  success.  Success is a lot more fun.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Some time back, we joined a financial education company.  How ironic  ... the financial education company went belly-up due to poor  management.  (If we had known then what we know now, life would have  been far different.) We built to the top level ever reached in this  company and helped one of our frontline leaders build to the same level.  Life was great!   We lived in our dream home in a gated community on  640 acres. We had deer and turkey in our back yard. We had horses, 4  wheelers and all the toys.   We drove new vehicles paid for by our  company.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We spent summers on the lake on our houseboat with a ski boat and  SeaDoos. We built our business from the lake.   We had finally reached  our dreams, it was possible!  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;For 4 years we worked from home together. Life was great - together  we would drop our son off at school, go to breakfast or workout, talk to  people and just do what we needed/wanted to do on our terms. Best boss  we ever had!  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Then, our company went belly-up, leaving us high and dry. We lost it  all...ALL! We were devastated. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Mentoring For Free was then presented to us and everything changed.  Reading SUCCESS IN 10 STEPS changed our outlook, our thinking, and our  lives! We had hope - we were given directions on how to do mlm right! We  learned how to read our mlm contract and how to understand our policies  and procedures.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Do you hear that?  That is the sound of stomachs churning  ...   churning at the mention of:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;  Make your list of 100 people&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;  It takes 100 "No"s to get one Yes.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Throw them up against the wall and see who sticks.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt; &lt;p&gt;AAAAHHHH!  STOP!  We had enough!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Thank goodness for Mentoring For Free.  What a revolutionary approach  ... let's EDUCATE and HELP instead of bullying folks!&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;We spent too many years in "old school" network marketing, only to  have it all crumble. Now we understand why, and we know what really  works.  Everyone claims to have a "proven" system.  Frankly, it's  exciting to have a true workable system.  The difference?  We've seen  Mentoring For Free work.  This system makes sense, and it builds for the  long term  ...  not just the here-today-gone-with-the-next-big-promise  tomorrow.  This IS solid business building.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;h5&gt;You always have choices.  You can go on the internet and get  some tips on how to get through your day at the job you hate. You can  keep plugging away with that "old school" marketing approach and remain  frustrated. Or you can have fun building a life in network marketing  with a user friendly system.  Remember, NETWORK MARKETING IS A BLAST.  You owe it to yourself to join the party!&lt;/h5&gt;       &lt;div class="ebook"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.successin10steps.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Click Here For E-Book&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;        &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-6683988672301557373?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/6683988672301557373/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=6683988672301557373' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/6683988672301557373'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/6683988672301557373'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2010/05/network-marketing-is-blast.html' title='NETWORK MARKETING IS A BLAST!'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-3441004980951356271</id><published>2010-05-10T19:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-10T19:01:00.459-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='build it correctly'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lack of success was not our fault'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Doug and Kathy Karnuth'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='you will own your life'/><title type='text'>We Did Everything Wrong</title><content type='html'>&lt;h2&gt;Doug &amp;amp; Kathy Karnuth&lt;br /&gt;MLM Success Story   &lt;img src="http://ddengler2.mentoringforfree.com/img/pics/karnuth.jpg" /&gt;   &lt;/h2&gt;       &lt;p&gt;Minnesota - When we first started in MLM we did everything wrong,  trying to build our business. We went for the 100 No's. We chased family  and friends ...  away. We purchased leads, then purchased better leads,  and then purchased the best leads. Over $8,000.00 later, we had little  to show for it. Today, we are not making a dime on any of those leads,  not even the really good ones. None of it worked.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Can you make money in MLM with leads? Sure. Here's the secret; build a  downline, and send them all your affiliate link to buy leads. Tell them  they MUST buy leads to be successful. A lot of them will believe you,  and you'll make a pretty nice affiliate income from that. Of course,  your downline will lose money, because leads do not work.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We understand now why people do this. They don't have a system that  works, and they hope leads will work. So the easiest solution is for you  to buy leads - which pay them a commission.  And if that doesn't work,  it must be your fault.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;A few years ago, we had  success in conventional brick and mortar  businesses.  It took a ton of hours and hard work to keep it going and  growing.  When we found Network Marketing, it looked easy. Just find a  couple like-minded people, then sit back and collect the checks. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;WOW! We quickly learned how wrong that was. We knew there had to be a  way to make MLM work, so we went looking for answers.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;Most people wonder what Mentoring for Free is all about when they  first find it. We were certainly part of the "what's the catch?" group.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;One day, we found Mentoring for Free.  We downloaded and read the  free ebook "Success in 10 Steps." It seemed that book was written with  us in mind. At last, we understood the "inner secrets" of MLM companies.  It was such a relief to realize that our lack of success was not our  fault. "Success In 10 Steps" proved that to us. Anyone who is coachable  and willing to become a student of the industry can learn the techniques  to have success in this business.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;I remember the first time we talked with Michael on the phone. He  said "I will be your Mentor and we will believe in you until you believe  in yourself."  He is a man of his word. You always end up at the truth.  Michael figures it's easier to just start there.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;h5&gt;The team at Mentoring for Free helps us work daily on personal  improvement, developing new skills, and learning about online and  offline resources that you can use to build your business. Each week  there are calls to help us grow. Everyone we meet here becomes a friend  and part of this big family.  They help you and you help them. It's how  network marketing should work.  The Mentoring For Free system helps  average people make above average income.  Build it correctly, and you  will own your life.&lt;/h5&gt;       &lt;div class="ebook"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.successin10steps.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Click Here For E-Book&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-3441004980951356271?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/3441004980951356271/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=3441004980951356271' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/3441004980951356271'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/3441004980951356271'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2010/05/we-did-everything-wrong.html' title='We Did Everything Wrong'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-6000953667455552284</id><published>2010-05-03T15:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-09T19:35:17.113-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='self-esteem'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gratitude and God'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='perservered'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='organized'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='stay positive'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='importanct of eliminating the negatives'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bill and Cynthia Breed'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='freedom to travel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='personal development'/><title type='text'>Michael Believed In Me Until I Could Believe In Myself</title><content type='html'>&lt;div id="body"&gt;            &lt;h2&gt;Bill &amp;amp; Cynthia Breed&lt;br /&gt; MLM Success Story &lt;img src="http://www.ddengler2.mentoringforfree.com/img/pics/breed.jpg" /&gt;   &lt;/h2&gt;           &lt;p&gt;I grew up in South America -- Brazil and Argentina, and witnessed the  haves and the have-nots of deplorable poverty. I Want my children to  see this. I Want gratitude and God to be present in our lives each and  every day, and I want the freedom to travel and see the world with my  family at the drop of a hat.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;2001 was the worst year of our lives. I lost my father in May. Bill  lost his favorite Aunt in July. In August, we rushed Bill to the  hospital for major surgery. He was away from the office for 6 weeks.  September brought 911. November brought our third child, who spent his  first two weeks in Intensive Care.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I shut down my ad agency when my largest account closed their US  operations. We went from a two-income family down to one. I refused to  have daycares raise our children, so I stayed home and depleted our  retirement. We lost tremendous amounts of money that year in our office  supply company and took forever to dig ourselves out. Yet we persevered  with the help of family and friends.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In May of '06 I was working very hard in MLM, but I was racking up  thousands of dollars in credit card debt, and getting very little back. I  was struggling to build my Network Marketing Business, approaching  people in coffee shops and parks trying to convince them that what they  REALLY wanted was to make millions working under me in my MLM company.  I  cringed inside every time I approached someone. As a matter of fact,  Bill and I had done Network Marketing a total of 4 times over a 20 year  period and failed each and every time. My self-esteem had taken a  beating and I struggled to stay positive, organized and calm for my  family.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h4&gt;Then Mentoring for Free came into our lives.&lt;/h4&gt;    &lt;p&gt;I had many personal struggles to overcome and Michael Dlouhy helped  me. He mentored me and helped me grow into the person I am today. He  taught me the importance of eliminating the negatives from my life. The  news, which is almost ALWAYS negative, the radio and negative people,  were impacting my view of life in ways of which I was totally unaware.  He taught me the importance of studying books for personal development.  And by providing us a weekly Mastermind Group for personal growth, I  most certainly grew in major positive and success oriented ways by  eliminating any negative ghosts that haunted me.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Michael helped me get to the core of my WHY, the difference I want to  make in this world. The PURPOSE I am to fulfill in my lifetime is to  help abused children understand what is happening to them by providing  them with professionals that can help them wade through the messes that  adults created in their lives.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I owned an advertising agency for 6 years. Bill has successfully run  our print management/office products company for the last 16 years. So  we couldn't understand why we were failing at network marketing.  Michael showed us why and what to do about it. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Michael believed in me until I could believe in myself. Now I build  my MLM business coaching, mentoring and believing in people until they  can believe in themselves.  It starts when they download the Success In  10 Steps ebook.  I follow the Mentoring For Free System like it's been  designed to be used and now I am building a huge organization as a  result ...  Mentoring for Free is a proven, duplicatable system, and my  business is growing as a result of its duplicability.&lt;/h5&gt;        &lt;div class="ebook"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.successin10steps.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Click Here For E-Book&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;       &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-6000953667455552284?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/6000953667455552284/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=6000953667455552284' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/6000953667455552284'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/6000953667455552284'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2010/05/michael-believed-in-me-until-i-could.html' title='Michael Believed In Me Until I Could Believe In Myself'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-5996088204358715057</id><published>2010-04-26T09:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-26T09:35:01.263-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Penny Dude'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='30 Day Mental Cleanse'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='focus only on the positive to push all negativity away'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='free training calls'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='secure financial future'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='my learning has never stopped'/><title type='text'>"A Big Relief Came Over Me When Michael Said, 'Penny, It's Not Your Fault!'"</title><content type='html'>&lt;div id="body"&gt;            &lt;h2&gt;Penny Dude&lt;br /&gt;  MLM Success Story &lt;img src="http://ddengler2.mentoringforfree.com/img/pics/dude.jpg" /&gt;   &lt;/h2&gt;     &lt;p&gt;I live on the east coast of Canada in Ammon New Brunswick, just  outside of Moncton. I work full time outside the home as a Office  Manager and I work any where from 40-50 hours a week. The people I work  with are all pretty amazing and are very caring and loving. I love what I  do and that is why I am there. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;So I came into network marketing about 4 years ago from an ad I saw  in our local newspaper. You can make $5000 a month. Let me find out  about it. I was at that point, working as an office manager of a Carpet,  Upholstery Cleaning and looking after a Telemarketing office in the  same building and I was at a total standstill in my life. No chance of  advancement.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;But that job served the purpose I needed. My middle daughter Danielle  was in and out of hospitals most of her life. I needed to be able to  leave my job at the blink of an eye if I needed to and be gone for  anywhere from a few hours up to two weeks at a time. My boss and job  allowed me to do this. But Danielle got better (thank the Lord) and did  not require this anymore. I am a mother of three beautiful daughters  Jennifer 24, Danielle 21 and Candice 11.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;But I also wanted more in life, and I wanted a secure financial  future. I have been in Network Marketing for over 4 years now. As most  people starting out, I really had no idea how to build a network  marketing company because I did not really know anyone who had built  one. I had tried to build two companies but was getting nowhere. Then I  was offered this ebook called "Success in 10 Steps", and I could not put  it down, it just made so much sense to me why I was not successful.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I had a three way call with Michael Dlouhy. I listened to what he had  to say and heard him tell me "Penny it is not your fault." This big  relief came over me then when he offered free training calls, so I could  learn the skills and get some knowledge I needed. I have been with  Mentoring for Free for over two years now and my learning has never  stopped.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Michael has always been there for me and everyone else who wants to  truly have success. There are 10 training calls a week to learn new  skills all the time, learning how to focus, how to speak to people, and  you learn from many leaders from around the world. The one call that  really has changed my life is the 30 Day Mental Cleanse that is held  every Wednesday. We read the book Think &amp;amp; Grow Rich by Napoleon  Hill. We learn to shut off the chatter and focus only on the positive to  push all negativity away. For my personality it was a must.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;h5&gt;The training, the skills the knowledge I have recieived from  Mentoring for Free is priceless and it is all for Free. Thanks Michael  for all you do.&lt;/h5&gt;     &lt;div class="ebook"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.successin10steps.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Click Here For E-Book&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;       &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-5996088204358715057?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/5996088204358715057/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=5996088204358715057' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/5996088204358715057'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/5996088204358715057'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2010/04/big-relief-came-over-me-when-michael.html' title='&quot;A Big Relief Came Over Me When Michael Said, &apos;Penny, It&apos;s Not Your Fault!&apos;&quot;'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-1461400943330956203</id><published>2010-04-20T17:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-20T17:09:20.013-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='my own incredible team'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='education and teamwork'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jennifer Wideman'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='primary business partner'/><title type='text'>I am Making My Dream a Reality</title><content type='html'>&lt;h2&gt;Jennifer Wideman&lt;br /&gt;  MLM Success Story   &lt;img src="http://ddengler2.mentoringforfree.com/img/pics/JenniferWideman.jpg" /&gt;   &lt;/h2&gt;         &lt;p&gt;I was introduced to network marketing a few years ago. He did not  have to tell me twice. You mean I can use and share this product and  possibly never have to work again? I worked so very hard, even with 4  kids under the age of 6 at the time. My husband was such a great  support. However, my upline talked me into 2 more deals, tried for a  third and I said there has gotta be a better way.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;I went to the internet and bought an ebook. I asked for help,  joined their team because they would sell me leads, teach me how to  convert those leads, and at least I'd have real people interested.  That's a long story, but the outcome was a great learning experience. I  am still reaping the benefits of the relationships I built there. I  cold-called 350 leads or more, converted a few, and learned how to talk  to people much better than I had. I also spent a good bit of money  without much in return. The leads dried up, the leader moved on to  selling other information products and I was told "Good-bye, good luck."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;One of my associates in that organization stumbled across an ebook  called "Success in 10 Steps" and thought I'd like it, so she sent it to me  by email. I didn't read it right away. I called the person I got it  from and asked lots of questions. "Just read the book." She wouldn't  tell me what company she was in, just assured me this group of people  could help me.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And it has. Many people in the Mentoring For Free family have helped  me realize that I truly can do anything through education and teamwork.  My husband, Terry, is the most incredible person in the world. He has  stayed with the kids, taken over when he comes home from his job,  supported me even when there was no money coming in yet. HE is the real  reason I am so successful.

My youngest sister  Teresia lost her battle with cancer. Eight months later my older sister  Scheryl lost her battle with cancer.  I was the primary caretaker for  both. My manager allowed me to work part time to perform this labor of  love. I eventually took a leave of absence from my job. This allowed me  to spend invaluable quality time with my family. Something that I have  longed for since learning about Network Marketing. The time freedom was  wonderful but, I had no money to do the things I longed to do. I was  determined not to go back full time at my job. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When I was 6 years  old my parents were told that I had a disability. I am legally blind.  My parents taught me to live life on my own terms and never to label  myself disabled. They taught me to focus on my abilities. So I have  always done that. My vision will never be perfect. There are visual aids  that help though. Life will not be perfect. Business will not be  perfect.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Sitting at my computer one day in 2005, a mentor stepped into my  life. I downloaded an eBook called "Success In 10 Steps". Here was the  truth about why I was struggling to have success in network marketing.  Here was yet another tool that gave me a "slight edge". Here also were  people that were smart, caring, and eager to help me reset my sails. So  each day I sat reading, with my many mentors helping me gain the skills  and knowledge to get back on course.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I was ready to do whatever it took as long as it was moral, legal,  and ethical. My husband and I had been toiling away for years losing  money, time, and friends trying in vain to have success. We joined a  company located in our hometown and thought we had it made. But once  again we were not successful.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;On that hot day in June, 2oo5 I clicked a link on the Internet that  led me to a free ebook called Success in 10 Steps. I printed out a copy  and read it immediately. Eureka! There it was! All the answers to my  questions of WHY we failed over and over and over again. Finally the  truth at last! And to my surprise I discovered that it was not my fault   (as I had been told it was my fault over and over again)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;When I finished all 90+ pages, I was standing a bit taller. I had  found the truth at last. I also found the courage to change my  circumstances.  My next course of action was to call the person I  downloaded the book from. Wow! What a great experience that was. Here I  was for the first time talking to a stranger that I met over the  Internet and it felt like I had known this person for years. What a  great day that was! And every day since I found Mentoring for Free!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We are actively living the life we dreamed of for so many years. And  best part is that we are now the ones helping others discover Mentoring  For Free. It makes Network Marketing purposeful and meaningful when you  can assist others in realizing their dreams. This is not a sales  business - it is a teaching and mentoring business.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Mentoring for Free has taught me to succeed by giving me a proven  system for success that extends to all areas of my life. I cannot say  enough about the training and mentoring. It has exceeded my wildest  dreams.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In Mentoring For Free, I now have a "dream team"  of mentors and  teachers to help me keep my sights and sail on the right course. Michael  and Linda Dlouhy have attracted the best trainers from around the world  to Mentoring For Free&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Download the book as I did that fantastic day in 2005, and you too  will benefit from the best of the best in our industry today, for FREE!&lt;/h5&gt;         &lt;div class="ebook"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.successin10steps.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Click Here For E-Book&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;       &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-8528873941388266489?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/8528873941388266489/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=8528873941388266489' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/8528873941388266489'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/8528873941388266489'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2010/04/eureka-there-it-was-i-had-found-truth.html' title='Eureka!

We are very  grateful for the freedom that we have at this stage in our lives, that  allows us to spend so much quality time together.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Earl is looking forward to retiring from the fire department in the  next couple of years and joining me in my network marketing business.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I have spent thousands of dollars on training programs and leads over  the years with absolutely no success. Now I am enjoying building a very  successful business in Network Marketing easily and consistently  without stress using the Mentoring for Free System.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I was first introduced to Network Marketing about 12 years ago while  working as a hairstylist in my salon. I quickly fell in love with the  concept of creating a lifestyle of freedom and helping others to do the  same. I'd worked for myself, most of my adult life but owning your own  business doesn't give you the freedom to do what you want, when you  want, and with whom you want.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I was searching for answers online to help me to find out how to be  successful in this industry, when I came across Michael Dlouhy's ebook  "Success in 10 Steps". That book was truly an answer to prayer for me. I  had worked very hard over the past 12 years trying to create that  lifestyle of time freedom. I did everything my sponsors told me to do  and more. I had personally sponsored well over a hundred people during  my networking career but it never duplicated into a successful long term  business and I certainly couldn't help anyone else find success when it  wasn't working for me.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I knew that I needed a mentor who was already successful and a proven  system that I could plug into and duplicate. That's exactly what I  found with the Mentoring For Free System.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I have learned how to build my business exclusively online using the  internet and telephone without friends and family or buying leads or  making cold calls. Mentoring for Free has taught me the skills I needed  to generate my own targeted leads online for free and how to teach  others to do the same.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I am truly enjoying the personal growth that I am constantly  experiencing myself and also watching the growth happening in others  within my team who are using the MFF system. It is such an amazing  feeling.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h5&gt;I know that I would still be floundering online today, if it wasn't  for Michael and Mentoring for Free. I will always be grateful that I  took the time to download and read "Success in 10 Steps", the wonderful  ebook that changed my life!&lt;/h5&gt;       &lt;div class="ebook"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.successin10steps.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Click Here For E-Book&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-8356839405825725874?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/8356839405825725874/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=8356839405825725874' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/8356839405825725874'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/8356839405825725874'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2010/04/grateful-for-freedom-that-we-have.html' title='Grateful for the Freedom That We Have'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-8675882519877211842</id><published>2010-03-29T11:44:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-29T12:00:50.227-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='building an empire that would pay my children&apos;s children'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='duplicatable system to build our business'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='create an additional income'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lack of success was not my fault'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Paul and Anne Sorgi'/><title type='text'>Nothing Seemed Legit or Legal</title><content type='html'>&lt;div id="body"&gt;     &lt;h3&gt;"With the Ebook And Michael And 10+ Hours of Training a Week, How  Could We Not Have Success?"&lt;/h3&gt;       &lt;h2&gt;Paul &amp;amp; Anne Sorgi&lt;br /&gt; MLM Success Story &lt;img src="http://ddengler2.mentoringforfree.com/img/pics/sorgi.jpg" /&gt;   &lt;/h2&gt;        &lt;p&gt;Persistence, it's the one word that can describe my Success Story.  Thinking back to when I started looking to create an additional income  takes me back to my teenage years. I always dreamed of building an  empire that would pay my children's children.  What was missing for  almost 20 years was a plan. The statement: "Failing to plan is planning  to fail" describes that time period in my life. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h4&gt;Overcoming Obstacles&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In 2003 I decided to see what all the fuss was about making millions  on the internet. I watched a few informercials and got a few websites  out of the opportunity section of some magazines and I was off on my  journey to discover the end of the internet!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Everything I looked at made my stomach crawl. Nothing seemed legit or  legal. I finally came across a free program and I spent 6 months being  frustrated. In those 6 months I had no contact, other than emails, with  any of my upline. I finally headed back out on to the internet to find a  new opportunity. I spent almost 2 years with my next adventure. I had  an awesome direct upline that had joined 1 month before me and we  clicked right away. There would still be many hurdles for us to jump  over.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I was constantly scratching my head trying to figure out why the  upline was so diligent in making it so difficult for us.  They  constantly held back information, they played the favorites game, they  played people off of each other and they manipulated downlines. My team  was growing and the money was trickling in, but I was really struggling.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Then through advertising, I came across a sweet lady who asked if I  had ever read "Success in 10 Steps"?   I had seen the ads for it all  over the internet but I kept passing it over.  I finally decided to  download the book based on this sweet lady's recommendation.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;A month passed and I finally decided to read the ebook. After being  beaten up and kicked around, I was skeptical. But I could not put the  book down. I immediately felt the relief.  My LACK of Success was NOT my  Fault. WOW!  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I called the lady who had recommended the ebook. I jumped on the  weekly training calls and when I heard how easy it was to talk to people  about the ebook, I knew I had found the system and training that could  grow my business.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;With the  ebook and Michael and 10+ hours of training a week, how  could we not have Success? It gave us a proven duplicatable system to  build our business. We have sponsored a few who have sponsored a few,  and so on, and so on. I have the support of Michael Dlouhy and the  dynamic team at Mentoring For Free who share information and offer  guidance. Anne and I thank them from the bottom of our hearts!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Anne and I are solid users of the MFF system and have been using it  for 3 years.  It is as simple as 1,2,3. Without MFF and its duplication  we never would have reached Diamond in our Company or been able to help  others reach Diamond as well.&lt;/h5&gt;        &lt;div class="ebook"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.successin10steps.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Click Here For E-Book&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;       &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-8675882519877211842?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/8675882519877211842/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=8675882519877211842' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/8675882519877211842'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/8675882519877211842'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2010/03/nothing-seemed-legit-or-legal.html' title='Nothing Seemed Legit or Legal'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-7130470156816975818</id><published>2010-03-23T20:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-23T20:26:52.150-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mentor and support team'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='duplicate my success'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='patience and consistency'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mike Duffy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='helping other people'/><title type='text'>I Was Skeptical About EVERYTHING</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"I've had some pretty good  success in MLM. I was one of the top distributors with one company. But  apparently I wasn't doing a very good job of teaching, because few  people who joined me could duplicate my success. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;               &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Eventually, I  stumbled across Michael Dlouhy and his mentoring and coaching approach  to building people. As a 'Green', (learn more about that from the  "Colors" training), I was skeptical about EVERYTHING Michael said and  did. But as I tuned in to various conference calls and coaching sessions  he'd host, I was amazed at his patience and consistency. Michael is the  real deal."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;               &lt;p class="style5" align="center"&gt;Mike Duffey's&lt;br /&gt;             MLM Success Story&lt;/p&gt;               &lt;p class="style5" align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.ddengler2.mentoringforfree.com/img/pics/MikeDuffey-Marcie.jpg" height="209" width="278" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;               &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;             &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Wisconsin -&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; I've been lucky most of  my life to have had above average success at most things. But after a  few years of network marketing, I was frustrated that my success was not  being duplicated by others I introduced to the business. &lt;/p&gt;               &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;I began to doubt my  choice.              &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;After 4 years in the  Air Force in the early 1970's, I've been self employed most of my life.  I've been a professional dog trainer and hunting guide, dabbled briefly  in the real estate industry, and had a successful insurance and financial  planning business ... which taught me the power of residual income.              &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Although I liked real  estate, my wife and children didn't appreciate my 70-80 hr, 7 day-a-week  work schedule. Eventually I realized that even though I was  "successful", I still woke up unemployed every morning. &lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Our income  totally depended on me getting out every day and selling.&lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;By the way ...  before real estate, I would never have thought of myself as a "sales  type". I was shy, not comfortable in crowds or talking with strangers.&lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style7" align="center"&gt;Like Most People  In The World ... I HATE To Be Sold!&lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Years ago, a move  back to Wisconsin from Washington state had us looking for a home. We  ran into some "bad apple" real estate agents. They made it obvious their  only interest was selling us a home to earn a commission.&lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;So I thought to  myself, &lt;b&gt;"Boy, if these obviously self-interested jerks can make a  living doing this ... what would happen if I took a sincere interest in  HELPING OTHER PEOPLE find whatever THEY were looking for? I'll bet I  could do really well!"&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Less than a year  later when my job wasn't panning out, that thought came back. When I  mentioned it to the people I was working for ...&lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style7" align="center"&gt;They Looked At Me  Like I Had Three Eyes!&lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;They laughed.  They didn't see me as any kind of salesman. They thought I had NO CHANCE  for success. &lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;That was all the  extra motivation I needed. &lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;The thought of  them laughing at me kept me going during the tough times. I'd do  anything to put off picking up the phone to make a "cold call" or  knocking on the door of a home for sale "by owner". And in the  beginning, both literally made my palms sweat.&lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;I got past  those difficult times and started having some success by focusing on  HELPING OTHER PEOPLE.&lt;/b&gt; But the long hours were taking a toll on my  wife and small children. So I started looking again. &lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;I ran across a  blind ad in our hometown paper that seemed right up my alley. They  wanted someone with a sports or teaching background and a strong desire  to succeed. I was disappointed when I showed up for the interview to  find out it was about selling insurance. I didn't (and still don't)  consider myself a "sales type".&lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;But the person I  interviewed with, who would be my manager, was a down-to-earth former  high school physics teacher. And again I thought to myself, "Well he  doesn't seem like the typical 'sales type' either. And if he's having so  much success, MAYBE I can too." &lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;And the move put  us back closer to old friends and our families. So we gave it a shot. &lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style7" align="center"&gt;My Toughest Job  Ever&lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;I worked hard for  a couple years for one company, then went "independent" to do a better  job for my clients. Unfortunately the long hours were tough on my  marriage. My wife picked up and left, leaving me as a single parent with  two small children. &lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;That day,  parenting became my toughest but most rewarding job ever. And it gave me  a completely different perspective and total respect for all good  mothers and single parents everywhere.                       &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;But building a  new business while I was raising 2 kids was quite a juggling act. &lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Eventually in my  business I specialized more in employee benefits and group health  insurance because it involved more daytime hours. Within 2 years I had a  pretty good monthly renewal check coming in. So I took a couple months  off to pursue some of my passions. That's when I realized ... &lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style7" align="center"&gt;Our System Is  SERIOUSLY Screwed-Up!&lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;We go to school  for years to get an education to qualify us for a job. Then we slave  30-40 years to get to retirement. &lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Great. Except  we're often too old or in too poor health to do the things we'd really  LOVE to do. And many people can't afford to do the things they'd REALLY  like to do. Wouldn't it be better to do the things we LOVE, while we're  still healthy and capable of doing them?&lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Fortunately for  me, the RESIDUAL INCOME I had coming from my employee benefits and  business accounts gave me an option. So in 1984, at the ripe old age of  34, I went into "semi-retirement".&lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Ten years later I  married my current lovely wife. Marcie had a regular job, and wasn't  quite sure she liked all the free time I seemed to have. And I didn't  think I was making enough for BOTH of us to be "retired." So in 1997 I  decided it was time to either revive my semi-dormant retirement &amp;amp;  financial planning business or look for other options. &lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style7" align="center"&gt;Network Marketing  Is the Only Business Model&lt;br /&gt;             That Harnesses THREE Powerful Forces&lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;After months of  research, checking out business opportunities, franchises, etc., it  became obvious to me that network marketing had what I was looking for.  It took advantage of 3 powerful forces: &lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;1. Passive  residual income&lt;br /&gt;             2. Leverage of your time and money, and&lt;br /&gt;             3. Geometric growth potential.&lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Now to find the  right company.&lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;I put together a  system to analyze all the options. From this, I found a good company  that's still in business today. But good coaching and training from my  upline was missing.&lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;So I struggled  for 18 months. I didn't make any money. In fact, I spent a lot. But I  did learn some important lessons. So I decided to apply them with a  "better" opportunity. &lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Within a short  time I was having pretty good success with the next young company I  joined.&lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style7" align="center"&gt;I Became One of  Their Top Distributors&lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;But apparently I  wasn't doing a very good job of teaching what I had learned, because  very few people who joined me ever duplicated my success. Eventually the  company dramatically changed the compensation plan and my commission  checks got slashed.                      &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;I've tried a  couple other companies in the meantime and had some moderate success. &lt;b&gt;But  the duplication and the retention were not there for the long term  success and FREEDOM I was looking for.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Eventually I  stumbled across Michael Dlouhy and his mentoring &amp;amp; coaching approach  to building people. As a "Green", (learn more about that from the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.colortosuccess.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Colors  Training&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;) I was skeptical about EVERYTHING Michael  said and did. But as I tuned in to various conference calls &amp;amp;  coaching sessions, I was amazed at his patience and consistency.&lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style7" align="center"&gt;Here's A Guy Who's  The Real Deal!&lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Michael is  sincerely interested in HELPING OTHERS. He often talks about "getting  things from your head to your heart". And until you do, those words  don't mean much. But eventually the "light bulb clicked". And I realized  I've come full circle. &lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;My success in  previous careers earlier in my life was NOT because I was the greatest  salesman on the planet. I never was, never want to be, and never will  be. But I focused on HELPING OTHERS.&lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;That's exactly  what Michael and members of his Success Team do. And when you get that  from your head to your heart, magical things start happening in your  business and life.&lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;I still have a  lot to learn and a long way to go on my path to personal development and  TRUE SUCCESS. But it's great to have a mentor and support TEAM so  willing and eager to help.&lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;I've been  around network marketing for several years, and have had the privilege  to personally meet and work with some of the icons in the industry. But  I've never experienced anything remotely close to what this TEAM has  going.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Plug into our  free generic training. You'll love the RESULTS. I strongly believe we  can HELP YOU have more success. &lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;And thanks for  taking the time to read my story.&lt;/p&gt;                      &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span class="style4"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.successin10steps.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Click Here  For E-Book&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-7130470156816975818?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/7130470156816975818/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=7130470156816975818' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/7130470156816975818'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/7130470156816975818'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2010/03/i-was-keptical-about-everything.html' title='I Was Skeptical About EVERYTHING'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-3293187332641769128</id><published>2010-03-15T12:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-23T20:07:49.012-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='build people'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Joy Seward'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='breakaway compensation plan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='business I can take with me'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='people will build your business'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='no secret agenda'/><title type='text'>MLM Can't Be Done Better!</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;"Michael is really good at grabbing  ahold of somebody and pulling them in.

MLM can't be done better." &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style5" align="center"&gt;Joy Seward's&lt;br /&gt;MLM Success Story&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style5" align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ddengler2.mentoringforfree.com/img/pics/joy.jpg" height="257" width="297" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Indiana&lt;/strong&gt;  --Michael listens. It's amazing that he opens his calls to people from  ANY company. He doesn't care what MLM you're with. Everybody else has a  secret agenda. Not Michael. No hard sell or, really, ANY kind of sell.  He knows that if he just loves you enough and helps you, and if you're  decent, you'll see it. And if you're not, he doesn't want you anyway.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;I'm Alaskan, a retired nurse.  My husband's Canadian. My father came over from Denmark to Alaska. He  had a tin mine on the closest point to Russia. Back in the 1950s, the  U.S. government bought it as a radar station. We could still go over  there and dig for gold or tin. We own the mineral rights.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style8" align="center"&gt;Running A Network Marketing  Company&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Walt and I had our own  network marketing business in Canada, from 1973 to 1986. Walt believes  network marketing is the way to do things. We bought Christian books  from many companies and marketed them Tupperware-style.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;The parent company was  stateside, and they let us take the business to Canada. They had a  breakaway compensation plan. When a rep hit a certain leadership level,  they broke off. We saw that as a problem. We had to set up our own  Canadian corporation anyway, so we dropped that breakaway feature. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Then in 1986, we went to  South America to distribute books. We left our business with a  distributor. It was amazing to us to give it up, be gone for several  years, then come back in 1991 and see the business still going. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;In fact, the gentleman now  has warehouses in Saskatchewan and Ontario. And the ladies still do home  book parties like you'd do home candle parties. Another group puts them  in racks and babysits the racks. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style8" align="center"&gt;Back In The States&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;There are about 40 Christian  publishers. Walt found some we'd worked with before. We rep for 8 or 10  of them as independent contractors. When we travel, I do the MLM  nutrition business. Walt sells the books. That way, he can talk to  bookstore managers &amp;amp; buyers about his wife's business. It doesn't  overlap. I call people from the hotel room. It's a business I can take  with me. I like that. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;What I really appreciate  about my husband is, he's never been shy about leaving the job he's in  now and working himself into the next one. A lot of people are insecure.  If you have a good job and good income, that's where you should stay.  But Walt says, "No, I'm not going to do that. I'm going to go where I  want to go." Walt has given 4 states away to another rep. He has 1 state  left. Once that's gone, we'll work with Michael full-time.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;A few years ago, we attended a  "Big Al" conference in Cleveland. As I walked through the doors, here's  this guy sitting on the table. Most people sit behind tables. Or they  stand by tables. Not this guy. He sits ON the table. And as we walked  by, he said some "smart" thing. He said a few things, and I had to  reply. That's how I met Michael. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style8" align="center"&gt;Michael &amp;amp; Linda Truly Care  For People&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Michael has the right  personality. He's Blue, outgoing, tremendous drive. People pick him up  and turn him on. We've been with him several years now. We enjoy so much  the MLM business and the people and the idea of relationship-building.  That's the way it should be.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;At the same time, he's Red.  So he's able to lead and handle the company well. He comes from a real  bad background where he was not loved. He was thrown around as a kid.  That affects him today.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;And he has the  sweetest-balanced wife. They're such a good team. Linda keeps him on  course. She can put him straight. Michael is so male. Linda is Yellow.  She's what he needs to balance him. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Linda has a horse. She has  puppies and kitties and they live on 20 acres. Last time I was there it  rained, and they had an alligator. It trucked its way across Florida and  found the mudpuddle in their yard. Linda is just right for him and  sweet, and then you say, "Of course!" She fits Michael. We really love  the two of them. They have 2 great kids. They've raised them well. We  pray for them. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Michael listens to people.  It's amazing that he opens his calls to people from ANY network  marketing company. He just doesn't care what company you're with.  Everybody else has a secret agenda. Not Michael. He doesn't do a hard  sell or, really, ANY kind of sell. He knows that if he just loves you  enough and helps you, and if you're decent, you'll see it. And if you're  not, he doesn't want you anyway.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;How do you put into words  what Michael's training means? It is so exactly what people need. We  lack personal-ness in direct sales. You recruit me. Then you go off and  do your own thing. Meanwhile, I'm a baby. I have no clue what to do  next, and I don't last. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;But Michael offers loving  &amp;amp; MLM coaching. I get on a call and Michael says, "Oh, Joy, nice to  have you on the call tonight. How's your oldest granddaughter? Wasn't  she not feeling well?" When I'm loved and accepted, which is what  Michael's comment just did to me, my mind's open and my heart's ready,  and I'm listening.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Michael is really good at  grabbing ahold of somebody and pulling them in. New people just stand  off. They wait and see and they listen, because they've been burned  before. They've been burned EVERY time they've been in something. And  they know they're going to get burned this time, too. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style8" align="center"&gt;Gradually, Gradually, He Loves  Them In&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;All those layers fall off.  Nobody else out there does that. You look and see 30 different companies  represented on Michael's late-night Saturday call or on some of the  leads calls. Either they figure it out, or they figure out that what  they have is not what they want. So they come around. Michael didn't  really do anything, but just let them listen. It couldn't be done  better. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;A lot of people have never  been in a situation with no boss to tell them what to do and when to do  it. Now they're on their own, and it's "How do I do this?" "Where do I  get my money?" "What does it cost?" "How can I be sure of this &amp;amp;  that?"&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;All these insecure questions.  And then you dial Michael up, and there he is. He's a big guy, he's  above me, but he'll still talk to me. He has time for you. And if the  calls you make are silly … some of the brave people call their prospects  online, and they'll talk to them themselves. That is REALLY brave.  Because when they get off, the whole group gets to say, "OK. What did  you see?" &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;And people on the call tell  you what they think. But it's usually good for the person. You build  them up and send them on. Michael just handles the public very, very  well. He's good with everybody. If he gets a pushy, awful person, he  still handles them well. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;When he tells you to build  people, and then people will build your business, it's just perfect.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;In the past, some scoundrel  MLM companies have betrayed their own reps. They promised the dream of  early retirement. So you worked like crazy and built a huge organization  and retired. The company looked at that and said, "Hey! This guy quit  working. He can't get away with that!" And they changed their  compensation plan to cut you out of it. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;So Michael teaches you to  sell prospects on YOURSELF, not on a company or product. When he tells  you this stuff, it comes from him with fire, and it is great. Michael  has a system to help you build close relationships and build loyalty and  build a mob of people committed to YOU, not to some network marketing  company. That way, they will follow YOU. It's a much easier way to  recruit.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;And that means 2 things. When  good people are loyal to YOU, those 600 other companies out there  trying to recruit them don't stand a chance. And if the worst happens  and your own company betrays you, they don't just lose you. They lose  your entire group. You just move on to a better situation.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Michael has been there and  done that.

He shares with you without waiting for you to enter some inner circle or reach a certain skill level. He'll spend time with anyone willing to invest their own time to build relationships that build their MLM business. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Most people in network marketing are unattractive. Why? Because they say, "Join me! Join me! Join me!" Look at all the magazine ads, the internet, email, postcards in your mailbox. They're all the same. Nothing differentiates them.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Relationships are as close to a 'sure thing' as you'll find. So what Michael teaches is, don't promote a product or a company. Promote who you are. Michael's system helps you find good prospects, build a relationship, and help them get the training they need, at no cost to them." &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style5" align="center"&gt;Dave Cones'&lt;br /&gt;MLM Success Story&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style5" align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ddengler2.mentoringforfree.com/img/pics/dave.jpg" height="257" width="298" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        Oklahoma -&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; When you help people develop skills with no calculation of your own benefit, you stand out. You have NO competition. People realize you have a long-term viewpoint. You develop trust. You develop loyalty. People follow you. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You become attractive. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Anyone can use Michael's system right out of the box to do the same thing. Build trust and loyalty. Become the network marketing mentor so many people are searching for. You won't be rich tomorrow. But you have the chance to help others and to build a business that will last forever.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;I was an engineer for Phillips Petroleum for 14 years. Then I worked on my own for 10 years, consulting. That was more fun because I worked from home. I'd get up, walk upstairs to the computer, &amp;amp; start taking phone calls about 9 am. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;That was freedom. Work my own hours. Home with my family. No boss. If I wanted to go somewhere, I did. I could just do what I wanted. I've always been a free spirit. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;My wife was home-schooling our son. I helped. For awhile, it seemed I only left home to go to Mailboxes, Etc. for my mail, and to help my son do his afternoon paper route. We'd walk the route in the summertime, get some exercise. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;But the consulting slowed down. I went to work for Conoco. They merged with Phillips. So I've come full circle, with Conoco-Phillips.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Ever since I read &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;"Think and Grow Rich"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; in 1979, I've had the entrepreneur bug. I started with Prepaid Legal in 1983, in Texas. It was new. If you signed up, you then had to go to your attorney and get them to agree to be part of Prepaid Legal. Tough sell. Not being trained in sales, I passed on it. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;In 1996, I again looked at network marketing with weight-loss product. Advertised the willies out of it. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;I mailed a brochure to every local home. Made my own infomercial, which moved a lot of product. I put signs on street corners until the city said to take them down. Sold a lot of product THAT weekend. These ideas brought in a lot of regular customers. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;I made $1,500 to $2,000 a month just on product sales … not counting what my recruits did. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style7" align="center"&gt;From Florida To Tennessee ... Through Oklahoma?&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Delivery was time-consuming. But I found out that once people lost weight, they wanted other nutritional products. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;So I joined a nutritional product MLM and sold those products to my customers. On their conference calls, I met Michael. We co-hosted their call, feeding off each, back &amp;amp; forth. We clicked. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;We did those calls for a year, then didn't touch base for 6 or 8 months. &lt;strong&gt;Michael called one day in '98 or '99 and came through Oklahoma on his way from Florida to Tennessee! We've worked together ever since, on a lot of different projects.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Michael really cares. He has everyone's best interest at heart. He wants to help people have success in network marketing. He wants to build strong relationships because he knows those people will work with him and be with him for life.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Michael is special. He shares with you without waiting for you to enter some inner circle or reach a certain skill level. He'll spend time with anyone willing to invest their own time to build relationships that build their business.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is he crazy? Sure. Like a fox. Relationships are as close to a "sure thing" as you'll find. When you help people develop skills with no calculation of your own benefit, you develop trust &amp;amp; loyalty. People follow you. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;You become attractive. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;That's why so many people follow Michael. Anyone can use his system right out of the box to do the same thing.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;The key to network marketing is to build relationships. It's NOT about getting somebody into your deal, like everybody else tries to do. The key is working with them to help build what THEY want, give them the training to become successful.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Some people think this sounds like some Pollyanna thing. Maybe so. But guess what? It works 100% of the time when you use it. No other system does that. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;The relational approach takes time. But any other way, you're in a deal where you have to continue to sell people over and over and over. I don't have time for that. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Michael's system funnels people to me. I build a relationship with them. Then they can plug into Michael's training during the week and on Saturday. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;So it doesn't matter if you have one hour a day or you are full-time. Use Michael's system to build relationships. Plug your people into his trainings. Show them you can help them. Those people are drawn closer to you.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style7" align="center"&gt;It's Not About Getting Them Out of Their Deal&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;A lot of people are married to their company. Ask them to switch? You may as well ask them to cheat on their spouse. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;MLM companies come and go. When you help &amp;amp; spend time with someone, maybe they don't join your business. But a year down the road, out of the blue, they call and say, "You know what? I don't know really what company you're in, but I want to join YOU." &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;And sometimes, they bring a bunch of people with them. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;So develop those relationships. Help people. Fill your pipeline. People will come to you when the timing is right. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I've had people on the training for a year or two, off and on, then all of a sudden, boom. The phone rings: "All right. It's time for me to join you. What company are you in?"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Most people in network marketing are unattractive. Why? Because they say, "Join me! Join me! Join me!" Look at all the magazine ads, the internet, your email, the postcards in your mailbox. They're all the same. Nothing differentiates them.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;So Michael says, don't promote a product or a company. Just promote who you are. Michael has a system where you help people get trained, at no cost to them. You have no ulterior money motive. &lt;strong&gt;People realize you have a long-term viewpoint. You stand out. You have NO competition. You become attractive.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;You build trust and loyalty. People see you as a leader. You won't be rich tomorrow, but you'll have a business that will last forever.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;To succeed in marketing anything, differentiate yourself from the crowd. Otherwise, you lose. It's automatic. You lose. But when you're different, you're over here. All your competitors are in a different place. Presto! No competition. You're all by yourself. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;People say, "Wow! What's THIS guy doing?" They're drawn to you. They see you're successful, and they want to learn your secrets.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style7" align="center"&gt;Learn About Personalities&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;The &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.colortosuccess.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Color to Success&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; training is essential to a lasting business. It's crucial to develop your own list, your own leads. When you buy leads, those names are sold to a lot of different people. But when people respond to YOUR ad, they have joined YOUR list. You can follow up with them.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Nobody goes online wondering, "Oh, man. What can I buy today?" They visit a website several times before they buy. You need to capture their contact information, so you can email them over and over and over. You can start an email relationship, then continue on the phone.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;How? &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.colortosuccess.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Color to Success&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; teaches you to spot a person's personality type within 2 minutes of talking to them. You learn how to peak their interest, how to build a relationship. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;That prospect may be highly technical. Certain questions and keywords you learn in the &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.colortosuccess.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Color to Success&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; will tell you that. They'll want more information before they ever consider a decision. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Or maybe that person wants to know, "How can I make money tomorrow?" Different approach. Learn it on the CD. Ask a few simple questions on the phone to understand the personality.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;When you cold call, you're behind the 8-ball. You're desperate. So instead, develop your own leads and come from a point of service. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Offer a free e-book or some other free information. Call to make sure they were able to download it. Ask the questions you hear on the CD to determine personality. Build a relationship. You'll draw people to you, attract them. They'll want to do business with you.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style7" align="center"&gt;Who Do YOU Do Business With?&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;I'll bet you do business with people you know, people you like, people you trust. You usually don't do business with someone who calls out of the blue, who you never heard of. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A major league pitcher throws the ball toward the batter at 90-100 miles an hour. When you cold call, YOU are that pitcher. And when the batter sees a ball coming at her at 90-100 mph, what does she do?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Oh, yes! She's outta there! She's off that phone like a shot. THAT is a cold call. It doesn't work. And even if YOU can do it successfully, you'll NEVER duplicate yourself. You can't build. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;It's like spamming by phone. You want to be in the position that you are not calling from this point of desperation. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;What works is relationships. That is what you'll learn from &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.colortosuccess.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Color to Success&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;If you don't understand relationships, you will struggle. For lifetime network marketing success, focus on relationship-building. Then you develop lifelong customers and business partners.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span class="style4"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.successin10steps.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Click Here For E-Book&lt;/a&gt;&lt;input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;!--Session data--&gt;&lt;input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div id="refHTML"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;!--Session data--&gt;&lt;input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;div id="refHTML"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;!--Session data--&gt;&lt;input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;div id="refHTML"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-4971933135327967940?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/4971933135327967940/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=4971933135327967940' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/4971933135327967940'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/4971933135327967940'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2010/03/from-florida-to-tennessee-through.html' title='From Florida To Tennessee ...

We live in Omaha, NE. We started in network marketing in the mid 1970s. We always believed we would find success, but we struggled for a lot of years.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Charlie worked in a factory until retirement. I taught preschool. We also were Foster Parents to a total of 8 foster children which was very rewarding. We knew we both liked helping people and that is why we never gave on building a future network marketing.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Mentoring for Free started helping Charlie &amp;amp; me from the first day we talked to Michael Dlouhy. I downloaded the free "Success in 10 Steps" ebook. We read it together to find answers why we had worked so long and had so little success in network marketing. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;That is where we learned about policies &amp;amp; procedures from Michael and got some "aha" moments and knew it wasn't our fault. We realized we weren't in a "Five pillars" company. We got on the MFF training calls and felt like we had an extra big family with the other people on the calls. These are Free calls and also recorded if you miss one, but you can always find answers to your questions. I don't know how Michael does it, but he is like the energizer bunny and a big teddy bear all wrapped up in one person.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;We get very good, qualified leads by giving away the ebook. I like to talk to people when I am out and about. We also use drop cards and bulletin boards. We have met some nice people through MFF. If we can help change even one person's life to not go through years of frustration like we did, it's all worthwhile. And if they pass their success on to another person; wow, that is what it is all about. People caring about other people.&lt;/p&gt;        &lt;h5&gt;Anything is possible in life, if you make it happen.&lt;/h5&gt;     &lt;div class="ebook"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.successin10steps.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Click Here For E-Book&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;       &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-4012993669304104317?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/4012993669304104317/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=4012993669304104317' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/4012993669304104317'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/4012993669304104317'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2010/03/charlie-carolyn-murphy-mlm-success.html' title='Anything Is Possible In Life, If You Make It Happen'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-3824382037946342057</id><published>2010-02-23T07:34:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-23T20:02:10.074-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life more meaningful'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='desires and dreams become tangible realities'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='time freedom'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='quality of living the corporate arena could not offer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='achieve the success they deserve'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Marcello Lisi'/><title type='text'>"In Less Than 4 Months After Starting With Mentoring For Free, We Made Diamond In Our Company"</title><content type='html'>&lt;div id="body"&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Marcello Lisi&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h2&gt;MLM Success Story &lt;img src="http://ddengler2.mentoringforfree.com/img/pics/lisi.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After working in corporate America in the international wireless technology industry &amp;amp; in pharmaceuticals, between the both of us, we had a wealth of corporate knowledge &amp;amp; education from engineering to marketing and sales. Life began to shift and change and we could no longer find satisfaction in our corporate jobs after we had climbed the ladder as far as we could go. We desired more out of life, a quality of living the corporate arena couldn't offer. In truth, we desired to live a life of purpose. &lt;p&gt;We began our Network Marketing career a couple of years ago, dreaming of a life more meaningful, more purposeful and supportive of the lifestyle we desired along with time freedom. We were fed up with working hard to fulfill the corporate investor's dreams, we wanted to manifest our own dreams. However we worked very hard and had little success in the beginning of our Network Marketing adventure. We took a step back from the business, engaged in a three month sabbatical to travel visiting friends and family in the U.S.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;As we were driving back to Montreal after visiting family in California, we asked and prayed for the answers. Two full rainbows appeared side by side within moments after our prayers. Every color of the rainbow was so vivid, bright and clear to see how each color blended with the next. Within one week of that prayer &amp;amp; seeing the rainbows, we met Michael &amp;amp; Linda Dlouhy &amp;amp; were introduced to Mentoring For Free.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Having good mentorship is definitely the key ingredient for MLM success. Michael Dlouhy poured much knowledge, wisdom, skills and love into us. By walking the path and footsteps of a proven leader with a track record of success and utilizing the power of Mentoring For Free, our team has been duplicating success since day one. Today, we are walking the path of success and mentoring others to walk the same path and truly love helping our team members achieve the success they deserve.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In less than 4 short months after starting with Mentoring For Free, we made Diamond in our company. This was monumental for us and we had never achieved this level of success prior. With all the skills we have learned from our mentors, we saw results right away and now we are building one of the fastest growing teams within the company. It was not merely our own efforts that helped us arrive here -- the power of the entire team and all our dedicated business builders helped us get here. We learned that when we focus our energy on our team; helping others become successful &amp;amp; profitable, our efforts naturally become easier. One of the things that inspires us most is when we see our team members become successful. What makes this so special is that we know that we are in the business of dream building. The desire of the overall team is so strong that it drives us to truly be "mentors with a servant's heart". Every day that passes, we see these desires and dreams become tangible realities.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Thank you, Michael &amp;amp; Linda, for helping us live our dreams and for giving us the opportunity to help others live their dreams. To a life of vibrant radiant health, success, joy, love and prosperity!&lt;/h5&gt;        &lt;div class="ebook"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.successin10steps.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Click Here For E-Book&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;       &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-3824382037946342057?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/3824382037946342057/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=3824382037946342057' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/3824382037946342057'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/3824382037946342057'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2010/02/in-less-than-4-months-after-starting.html' title='&quot;In Less Than 4 Months After Starting With Mentoring For Free, We Made Diamond In Our Company&quot;'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-2488566635812402625</id><published>2010-02-15T12:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-23T20:00:59.702-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='simply being myself'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ken Klemm'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='people actually ASKED to join me'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='training and developing teams'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='a regular guy'/><title type='text'>Been There, Done That, Got The T-Shirt</title><content type='html'>&lt;h2&gt;Ken Klemm&lt;br /&gt; MLM Success Story   &lt;img src="http://ddengler2.mentoringforfree.com/img/pics/Klemm.jpg" /&gt;   &lt;/h2&gt;       &lt;p&gt;Pennsylvania - I am a regular guy who has been chasing Freedom all my life. I suppose I've been a free market entrepreneur most of my life - even before I knew there was such a creature.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;As a kid, I collected seashells and sold them door-to-door. I had a newspaper route. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I joined my first network marketing company in 1974. My upline seemed to love me and care about my success ... but it didn't work out.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I drove a cab. Then I managed high volume gasoline stations and restaurants. I enjoyed training and developing teams.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I married, moved to Connecticut and raised two beautiful children. My wife and I became active in our community.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I went into insurance and financial planning. I founded an independent agency for the freedom of working from my home.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;But it wasn't perfect. I convinced my wife to join me in another network marketing adventure.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I drove all over the east coast building our group. We learned two things: &lt;/p&gt; &lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt; Our upline were making most of their money selling training audios to their distributors&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; No one in our downline was duplicating what we did.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt; &lt;p&gt;We started a graphic design and printing services business from our home in 1991. In a few years, through referrals, we had a thriving business going.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In 2000 I suffered a stroke. Within the next 2 years, my wife divorced me and I was also seriously injured in a car accident. Definitely 2 years I want to forget ...&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In 2003, I tried internet marketing. I partnered with a fellow I met online - also an entrepreneur most of his life. We built a system, combining some affiliate programs with an MLM start-up. It was a great product, and we soon had more than 1000 affiliates. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We didn't know that the owner of the MLM company was a crook. Neither did the CEO or the Marketing VP. We were all scammed.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;On my own again. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;More research and exploration. Then I found myself talking to Michael Dlouhy. Experience made me highly skeptical about what Michael promised to deliver for free:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Millions of dollars worth of soup-to-nuts skills training, personal development, coaching and mentoring - all with no fee, no catch, no agenda? I was only CERTAIN about the "nuts" part. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;But the ebook, "Success In Ten Steps" validated things I instinctively knew, but never realized. Life worked best when I was simply being myself - I was PERFECT just the way I was, as Michael said. My lack of success and being scammed was not my fault!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Michael told me he built a good business using mostly the internet and telephone. He never made a list of his friends and family, never stole anyone's downline, and his neighbors had no idea of what he did.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I was intrigued. The Mentoring For Free team taught me how to connect with people and then build relationships instantly.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Michael told me it would happen, but I was shocked when people actually ASKED to join me! I've never asked anyone to join ME.&lt;/h5&gt; &lt;p&gt;And THAT is a system you can duplicate.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;div class="ebook"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.successin10steps.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Click Here For E-Book&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;!--Session data--&gt;&lt;input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;div id="refHTML"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-2488566635812402625?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/2488566635812402625/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=2488566635812402625' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/2488566635812402625'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/2488566635812402625'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2010/02/been-there-done-that-got-t-shirt.html' title='Been There, Done That, Got The T-Shirt'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-8028219674749762929</id><published>2010-02-08T18:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-23T20:00:20.762-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='become the leader you want to be'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='successful home-based business'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='generate targeted leads'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='It is Not Your Fault'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Judith May'/><title type='text'>"What am I doing Wrong?"</title><content type='html'>&lt;h2&gt;Judith May&lt;br /&gt; MLM Success Story   &lt;img src="http://ddengler2.mentoringforfree.com/img/pics/judith.jpg" /&gt;   &lt;/h2&gt;                &lt;p&gt;Florida - Before our sons came along, I worked as a short order cook in a local ma &amp;amp; pa restaurant. I got up at 3 am to start making biscuits, grits, gravy and bacon. I dreamed of my own small restaurant some day. I never thought my life would change the way it did.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;My husband Kevin and I have 2 boys - Kevin Jr and Timothy. They really changed things. Kevin has worked in the Petroleum field for over 30 years, usually on the road servicing gas stations or other facilities. He'd be home on weekends to see us and then back out for two weeks at a time. It was hard for me to see Kevin's own son not even recognize his daddy. I began looking for income online, so Kevin could stay home and watch his sons grow up.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I joined my first MLM company (a name you know) in 1999, I worked it like my sponsor told me to. A year and a half later, I had 5 credit cards maxed out, $5,000 each - and almost no income. I was angry. I called my sponsor and she said I wasn't doing enough advertising. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This was my lowest point. $25,000 in the hole. I needed Someone who could tell or show me what I was doing wrong. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I came across a wonderful lady from Texas, who introduced me to Michael Dlouhy. I told them my story and asked, "What am I doing Wrong?" Michael said, "It is NOT Your Fault, Judith." I began to cry, because I KNEW I could be successful at a home business opportunity if someone would only Show me how. I said, "I have no more money, I am maxed out." Michael said, "No problem," If I was coachable, he could show me how to generate targeted leads and begin to build. Boy, am I coachable! I had nothing to lose. So beginning in 2000, I just did what Michael said. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;What he taught back then, he still teaches today ... but the tools are better. We duplicate, using the Mentoring For Free System since 2004. I have helped many other people find their way out of debt, all using this mentoring for free system. It is proven and time-tested. This is NOT an affiliate program , it IS a system that will help you become the leader you want to be.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Mentoring for free has changed me into a Leader with the mindset for success. I've learned to brand ME on the internet, learned to Think for myself instead of someone else thinking for me. One great training is a weekly personal development conference call - the Mental Cleanse - that trains anybody to get rid of their negative thoughts. The Mentoring For Free system is a safe place to grow into leadership. I have a team of experts now that I never had in the past. We work together.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h5&gt;The fact is, nobody can build a business by themself. You need a team of like-minded people working together, helping each other. You have that with Mentoring For Free. If you are struggling like I was, then I encourage you to reach out and ask for help. Like me, you just need someone to show you how. I asked for the truth, and I got it here. Michael Dlouhy believed in me until I could believe in myself. Be sure to download your copy of "Success in 10 steps". It will change your life.&lt;/h5&gt;       &lt;div class="ebook"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.successin10steps.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Click Here For E-Book&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;!--Session data--&gt;&lt;input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;div id="refHTML"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;!--Session data--&gt;&lt;input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;div id="refHTML"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-8028219674749762929?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/8028219674749762929/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=8028219674749762929' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/8028219674749762929'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/8028219674749762929'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2010/02/what-am-i-doing-wrong.html' title='&quot;What am I doing Wrong?&quot;'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-3662678623153388300</id><published>2010-02-01T11:01:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-01T11:08:17.783-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Success in 10 Steps'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Don Standard'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='potenial prospects'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='free training call'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Network Marketing is fun'/><title type='text'>I Knew I Was Onto Something Big</title><content type='html'>&lt;h2&gt;Don Standard&lt;br /&gt;  MLM Success Story   &lt;img src="http://ddengler2.mentoringforfree.com/img/pics/Standard.jpg" /&gt;   &lt;/h2&gt;        &lt;p&gt;Texas - I started network marketing around 1980. It looked too easy to be true. I was right. It took 25 years to learn the truth about how to do it. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Making a list of friends and family didn't sound like a good idea. But I did it. I signed up one family member who quit. No friends - ever. I started talking to strangers. I hated it, but I sponsored one every 4 to 6 weeks. But I never had two people on my team at the same time in three years. The last one always quit before the next one signed up.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;I went to seminars, joined different companies. I learned from each failure, but never seemed any closer to success. Then the internet appeared. MLMers from wall to wall, looking for prospects. Most potential prospects had multiple businesses - and multiple failures.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I learned to get prospects. But converting them to team members was nearly impossible. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I went into a learning and testing phase. I sponsored large numbers of people into free programs. Of course, that never made me any money. But it was a start. &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;Then I found the ebook, "Success In 10 Steps". I had hundreds of unread downloaded documents, but this one interested me. I printed it out and started reading. Next day, I took it to work, finished it. Every idea seemed to be opposite what I had been told. I could look at some of my previous companies and see why I had so much trouble. I read the ebook 3 times in 3 days. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Email messages got me on free training calls. I never missed a single call for months. I never said a word ... just listened.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;I knew I was onto something big. From my experience, I knew the people at Mentoring For Free were telling the truth about MLM. That was good, after 25 years of failure and frustration. I used the information from the calls to evaluate network marketing companies. I googled people using the Mentoring For Free system. I found companies they may have been in and/or previous companies. I added all the other companies I knew and started evaluating.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I quickly learned to find "deal killers". Some things are so bad they can't be overcome by good things. I narrowed hundreds of companies down to five - which I compared every day for over a week. In the end, one company came up on top every time. It was so superior that there really was not a second to consider. I hope you also find a company so clearly ahead of all others that you can make the choice and never have a second thought.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Still ... could I be successful at network marketing? I joined the company. I plugged into the MentoringForFree system and got some leads. Mostly I just watched and listened ... for 11 more months. Finally, I was ready to go for it. And it worked. I grew my business fast. I sponsored as many people in a month or so as I used to sponsor in a year.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And they didn't quit. I plugged them into MentoringForFree and helped get them started. We were a team, all using the system. People just like me who had experienced failure and frustration for years were now successful.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;h5&gt;The Mentoring For Free system changed my life and the lives of people on my team. Now I grow my business easily and consistently. Network Marketing is fun.

If he thinks you should be doing network marketing, he'll hunt you down. He'll track you down. He does that. And he does it in such a way you can't be mad at him because he obviously cares so much about you. "I would NEVER just plow into a room and say, "Hey! I'm Michael Dlouhy! Let me tell you about THIS!" He'll do that. And you WILL listen, for whatever reason you're compelled to listen to him. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;"I was totally lost about MLM compensation plans. So Michael lined up apples on the kitchen counter to explain it to me. I'll never forget that. He finds a way to make you understand." &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style5" align="center"&gt;Linda Dlouhy's&lt;br /&gt; MLM Success Story&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style5" align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ddengler2.mentoringforfree.com/img/pics/linda.jpg" height="257" width="297" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style7" align="center"&gt;Florida - I am the guru's woman. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;I was born in Island Falls, Maine. It's a little ghost town now. We moved to Connecticut. My dad was sick. He died when I was 2 ½. When I was 11, we moved to Florida.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;I had a severe case of rheumatic fever. We found a great doctor and a great hospital. I got better. I went to high school and met Michael. The Wild Ride began. I tell him he's Clyde, I'm Bonnie. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style7" align="center"&gt;"I'm HERE! I'm HERE!"&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Back before Matthew was born, about 24 years ago, we went home to Northern Maine for a family reunion. Michael &amp;amp; I laugh. There's a big marquee when you enter the state. It says, "Maine: The Way Life Should Be." Yeah. No jobs. Poverty. You freeze in the winter. You get one day of summer sometime in July. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;We decided to climb Mt. Kitahdin. It's the highest Maine mountain , up at the end of the Appalachian Trail. Michael, of course, picked the fastest, steepest, hardest route up. And we only had a few hours of daylight to get to the top and come back down. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;So up we go. And as you go, all the shrubbery and greenery get smaller and smaller and smaller. We actually came on the trail of a moose. We got the cameras out, but the only shot we got was all chocolate brown, the rear of the moose. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;My husband was ALWAYS 20 - 30 feet ahead of me. It was my uncle Donny who pulled me and my mom and his wife and my youngest cousin up over the ledges.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;But who's at the top first? Who's yelling, "I'm here! I'm here!" Take one guess. Pure Michael. Fast and furious on his way to the top. He's not a quitter. There's nothing he's ever, EVER endeavored in that he didn't finish. He commits completely. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Mentoring people is exactly where he needs to be. He totally loves it. He breathes it. He'll be there for you. When you call, if it's a bad time, he'll set you up when it is a good time. He's great with everyone. You can totally depend on him.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style7" align="center"&gt;"Utter Disappointment" Wasn't Very "Utter" For Michael&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;He wants YOU to feel HIS passion. Doesn't matter to Michael who you are, a CEO or a stay-at-home mom. Race, religion, color, nothing matters. If this business is YOUR passion, and you want his help, he'll mentor you until you're where he is in this industry. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;I listen in on the Coaches Corner call he does on Saturday night. I'm amazed. I'm amazed at the people and how they bare their souls. I see their growth. I hear them in the beginning. Then I hear them two months later. It's truly amazing for me.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;I haven't been as involved in the business as Michael. We've had 2 children, a big house, dogs, cats, a horse … the occasional alligator. But we're downsizing now. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;I'm excited that I'll be more involved and can spend more time with Michael. Our son &amp;amp; future daughter-in-law are buying a home. So the schedule is changing. I'll get to work with Michael.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;When we started in MLM back in the 70s, my thought was, this is totally unheard of. I was raised where you worked a job 9 to 5. There wasn't any other way. The whole idea was new.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Our first company was a stepping stone that didn't last long. But Michael totally believed in network marketing, even 25 years ago. He's stayed right with it. There've been ups and downs, for sure. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;You may find this hard to believe, but I have seen Michael in utter despair, complete disappointment. I used to tell him this little cliché: "You know, you can't climb a slimy wall." &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Many, many years back, in a long-ago network marketing business, we got undercut by our sponsors. They flat-out betrayed us. The effort, the energy, the relationships you thought you were building, they crumbled. It can leave a hard, bitter taste in your mouth. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;But Michael has this uncanny ability to just keep going. He picks himself up and does it all over again. He's not a quitter. He's compassionate. He's dedicated. He's committed. There's no swaying him. Michael will follow through. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;And so he said to me, "Linda, I know. I know as well as I'm sitting here, looking at you, taking this breath of air, THIS is going to work. I can make this work. I know the right company is out there. I know the right people are out there. I'm going to make this work."&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style7" align="center"&gt;And I believed him. And he was right. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Personally, I have more of a sense of commitment direction than Michael does. I'm the list-maker. I know ahead of time what my plans are every day next week.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style7" align="center"&gt;He Makes Up His Own Rules&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Michael, on the other hand, is totally spontaneous, "Let's do it now. And not just this - let's do these other hundred things now, too." He has a level of excitement that is beyond belief. I do my best to slow him down at times. I put my 2 cents in when I'm not sure whether it'll be accepted.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Michael ignores rules. He takes a positive, positive approach. I'm amazed at some of the people he mentors. You hear their negativity. It could be a 20-minute phone call or 3 hours. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;But he completely turns them around with his positive attitude and positive thought on where they can be, what this industry can do for them. If they just believe in themselves, then they can do it. He feels like, with his background, if HE can do it, anybody can. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style7" align="center"&gt;Michael Is a Very Sincere Stalker &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;If he thinks you should be in network marketing, he'll hunt you down. He'll track you down. He does that. And you can't be mad at him because he obviously cares so much about you. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;I would NEVER just plow into a room and say, "Hey! I'm Michael Dlouhy! Let me tell you about THIS!" He'll do that. And you WILL listen, for whatever reason you're compelled to listen to him. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;I was totally lost about MLM compensation plans. So Michael lined up apples on the kitchen counter to explain it. I'll never forget that. He finds a way to make you understand.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Michael used to be a one-man-show. No more. He has so many people that are a part of him. He eats it, drinks it, lives it. Once in awhile, he even sleeps it. It's everything to him.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style7" align="center"&gt;He Loves Working With YOU&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;He knows there are a lot of people now with very true, deep feelings for him. There are no smoke &amp;amp; mirrors here. Michael is real. What he does is real. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;He had the vision before, the dream. But discovering his own total WHY was the turning point. It's a complete sense of satisfaction for him at this point in his life to know he's doing good, making an impact on other people. He gets that positive feedback through cards and email and phone calls.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;It's wonderful. I support him totally. I'm a "stealth listener" on his calls. I do the feedback after-hours. We talk about this person and that person. I have great compassion for those who've been burned so badly by people who've been false to them.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;I value our friendships. We have so many friends, it's hard to keep up with the schedule. And I love it. People are wonderful. And they're all so different. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style7" align="center"&gt;His Motor Never Stops&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Sometimes I tell Michael, "You know, there are only 24 hours in a day. You're trying to put 30 in there. Stop it!" And get him on a trip or at a convention? Unbelievable! There's just no way to keep up with him. He goes around the clock. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;The demands on his time are enormous. I've got to teach him how to use the microwave. All he can make now is popcorn. He needs to learn to do some of these one-step meals.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;Sometimes he'll start a call and 4 hours later he comes out, rubbing his eyes. I try to remember he's going to get dehydrated talking like that. The lamps, the computer ... it's an incredible amount of heat. Not to mention the heat Michael gives off! &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;I believe in this with all my heart. My core, my inner happiness in life, is the relationships we've built. Michael tells me I'm Yellow. I'm not going to disagree with him. If he's happy with me Yellow, I'll be Yellow. Once in awhile he sees the Red &amp;amp; Blue in me. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;You can call me Yellow, call me Green, call me Blue. I don't care what you call me. If I like you, I like you. I have this inner sense, a silent reading of people. I instantly know about them. We have hundreds of wonderful friends that Michael has trained. It does my heart good to hear what people say. Michael feels wonderful. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style1" align="justify"&gt;I love it that Michael moves apples around on the kitchen counter to show me how this business works. The people, the industry, where we've been, where we're going, I am right there. It's an incredible ride, a wonderful journey. We've made phenomenal friends along the way. And it just gets better. It's excellent. &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p class="style8" align="justify"&gt;Don't let bloody MLM vampires suck your veins bone-dry. Drive a silver spike through their heart.

Gag me with a spoon. I knew the man before he became "St. Michael."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We have strong disagreements. It's not personal. I've known Michael since 1997. In person, away from business, he's a charming, lovable character. Fun ... almost cartoon-like. Many people are drawn to him. Me? Michael Dlouhy often rubs me the wrong way. Let me tell you some things. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;1. Michael spends 7-10 hours a week teaching his own network marketing COMPETITORS every secret he knows. He gives them FREE every tool he uses. His phone calls &amp;amp; e-book show them EXACTLY, step-by-step, how to take business away from him (if they can) ... and then he doesn't even charge them for the training! (You'll learn his reasoning for this in a couple minutes.)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Reminds me of the guy at the intersection with his spray bottle, dashing out at red lights, washing your windshield. Michael would probably do THAT for free, too. You don't see any other MLM "Heavy Hitter" ignore the time-tested "profit rules" of direct marketing. They'd go bankrupt. But Michael does it ... and his business and income get bigger anyway.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;2. Michael's income comes from his MLM business. Yet on his conference calls, he NEVER mentions the company name. He NEVER says a product name. He trains his people to NEVER close a sale. He trains them to NEVER recruit. He tells them to NEVER promote to friends &amp;amp; family. And yet they move a TON of product, and they build like crazy! That can't possibly work, can it? You sure wouldn't think so. But it does.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Michael tells his motivation, how he was abused as a kid. His Aunt Honey rescued him and loved him. Connect the dots, and you realize he wants to be Aunt Honey to all these abused network marketers. Oh, brother! Wouldn't Dr. Phil have a field day with this?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you liked "The Brady Bunch", you'll love Michael. Bright and cheery 99% of the time. Only when the subject turns to MLM "Heavy Hitters," THAT is when his blood boils. In "Success In 10 Steps", Michael catalogs every lie they've ever told. He's driven to help those who've dreamed entrepreneurial dreams, and then been fleeced &amp;amp; abused by the evildoers. So when he gives everything away ... it's an "in-your-face" to the Heavy Hitters.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And this leads people to picture Michael riding his white horse across the countryside, The White Knight of Network Marketing, Sir Michael of MLM.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;Gag me with a spoon.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;3. Michael leaves profitable MLM marketing systems on the curb if he can't use them to build others. People instantly relate to him, trust him. They're loyal. He makes relationship-building look way too easy. And he trains his people to use his e-book do the same thing.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;It's great to care about people. Any reasonable person does. But the numbers say, most people fail in network marketing. The numbers say, if you bet everything on your people and they fail, then YOU are down the tubes. People are unpredictable.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;But to Michael, it's all about relationships. The game wouldn't be fun to him if that wasn't his focus.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;4. First time I met Michael, a few years ago, he called to ask if he could drop by. He lives 250 miles away. He'd been in my downline for years. I figured I was in for some hard sell. Instead, I got a warm, engaging storyteller. No hard sell.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Michael is an animal on the phone. He can talk from dawn to dark. However ... he's also a very good listener. That unusual combination makes him a lot of fun to talk to.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;5. But he still annoyed me. He emailed and called and dropped by from time to time, letting me know that it was perfectly OK if I wanted to work with him ... OR NOT!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;So it's OK if I work with him. And it's OK if I don't. That's just wonderful.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I didn't need the aggravation. Really. I didn't give a rat's ass about Michael Dlouhy. Why the heck should he care about me? And right there, THERE is my problem. I'm very curious.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Several people have told me they lost money in MLM for years before connecting with Michael. Now, they're profitable. Despite his craziness. How can that be? How can you give everything away and make a profit? I called him up. We talked for a long time. It was the start of a business relationship that has greatly benefitted both of us. I discovered there is a fascinating method to his madness.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You've heard of Plan A and Plan B? The business a person is working now is Plan A. The fallback position, if Plan A fizzles out, is Plan B. Most people don't have a Plan B.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I call what Michael does, "Plan B Recruiting". When he talks to a prospect who doesn't have a business, Michael wants to be Plan A. When he talks to a prospect who already has a business, Michael wants to be Plan B.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Michael gives away so many great, useful, business-building resources because he knows this industry. MLM companies come, go and change like crazy. When Michael builds trust with people, he's sowing the seeds for working together some day. Just because a person is in love with their Plan A company today doesn't mean they'll feel the same a month or a year or 5 years from now.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And whenever they're ready for Plan B, Michael is ready for them. Ask yourself one question: how many people do you know who stay with one MLM company their whole career?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I can't name one. Which makes this a brilliant plan. Very productive. You should use it yourself. It means - and this is really key - you NEVER argue with anyone about whose company is better. If someone is in a company, you never talk to them about yours. You just help them and help them and help them ... and you are the first person they think of when they need a Plan B ... which is almost certain to happen. &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;I've come to believe Michael is a networking genius. He is to relationship-building and network marketing what Muhammed Ali was to boxing, what Elvis was to rock 'n roll, what Bill Gates is to the personal computer. These kinds of people don't do things the way they're supposed to. Rules just get in the way of their creativity and obsession with their work.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;It took me years to realize what annoys me about Michael. It's EXACTLY what makes him unique. Michael does not follow anyone else's rules. He's almost like a Mother Teresa, searching through the network marketing woods, looking for the orphaned, injured baby MLMer. He takes it in, bottle-feeds it and nurses it to health. In some ways, Michael is still 6 years old. He thinks every network marketer out there is Bambi, and he's got to protect them from the Hunter.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;6. There have been days (I swear this is true) Michael called at 9 am to talk about some marketing idea. I can't reach him in the afternoon, because he's on the phone for an hour and a half doing a 3-way call with someone on his 74th level, who he just MUST help. At 8 pm, he's doing his nightly 1-hour training call (or 2 or 3 hours, depending on how much help his people - AND his competitors! - need). And then he emails me at 3 a.m. When the heck does he sleep?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I once asked Linda Dlouhy when her husband sleeps.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;Her answer?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"He doesn't."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;THIS one is personal. Why should I feel guilty about getting a good night's sleep? I don't. But some nights when I lay my head down at 1 a.m., I know that Michael is still on the phone, doing a 3-way call for someone in Singapore who has a new prospect in Australia. I do a lot of work. I get a lot done. But Michael never seems to stop. That pisses me off.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;7. Michael Dlouhy couldn't legitimately "market" his way out of a paper bag. I know a thing or two about direct marketing. I was in marketing guru Jay Abraham's "Protégé" group, back in 1989. In 1990, I worked briefly with direct mail geniuses Gary Halbert &amp;amp; John Carlton, writing sales letters for some of Halbert's client.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In 1993, I got a call from Dr. Joel Wallach at the old "Eagle Investments" MLM. Doc asked me to help him promote his "colloidal mineral" product. I took one of Doc's old seminar audiotapes gathering dust in his closet, titled it, "Dead Doctors Don't Lie," and began promoting it. Eventually, over 250 million "Dead Doctors" tapes were circulated. It's still the benchmark against which all other network marketing promotions are measured.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In 1996, I wrote the full-page ad, "I REALLY Expected To Be Dead By Now!" This ad appeared in numerous national magazines and many direct mail packages ... along with my book, "The Strangest Nutritional Secret!" These pieces brought us a couple million dollars net over the next few years.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Michael, on the other hand, has never created ANYTHING like these pieces. All he does is call up people who have downloaded his ebook and build relationships with them. For a few, he's Plan A. For most, he's Plan B. And then he teaches them to do the same.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"Build people. People will build your business." Michael says that a lot. So instead of some mile-wide, inch-thick marketing thingy, he builds tight relationships with hundreds of people who would follow him anywhere. It's NOT direct marketing. But man! In an industry where people change companies so often, Michael understands his market and what they want better than anyone else in this business. His "Plan B" plan is the smartest thing I've ever seen anyone in MLM do. &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;8. Using direct marketing, I built a couple huge &amp;amp; profitable downlines in the 1990s. But I never built relationships. I would never, ever shoot Bambi. But I'd never give her my phone number, either. Let alone go out in the woods and search for her.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And then those companies disappeared. So did my income. I've learned a lot from Michael ... but nothing more critical than how to talk with a new person, quickly spot which of the 4 personality types that person is, and bond with them. It's an incredible skill that we now teach to everyone in Mentoring For Free. &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;h5&gt;What I have learned from Michael is that to build an MLM income that lasts, you MUST build relationships. You MUST build people. As Michael says, people join people, not companies. If your focus is on a company, or on a compensation plan, or on products, then your focus is wrong. To build a lasting long-term network marketing income, your must focus on building relationships. &lt;/h5&gt; &lt;p&gt;I hope it doesn't take you as long to learn that lesson as it took me.&lt;/p&gt;      &lt;div class="ebook"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.successin10steps.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Click Here For E-Book&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;        &lt;/div&gt;&lt;input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;!--Session data--&gt;&lt;input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;div id="refHTML"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;!--Session data--&gt;&lt;input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;div id="refHTML"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-8015929205083756629?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/8015929205083756629/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=8015929205083756629' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/8015929205083756629'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/8015929205083756629'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2010/01/michael-dlouhy-raw-truth.html' title='Michael Dlouhy - The Raw Truth'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-1845941298504499541</id><published>2010-01-11T17:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-05-09T19:38:53.392-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='MLM Success Story'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sarah Thompson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='simple and true'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='believe in yourself'/><title type='text'>"It worked, simply worked"</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;I want to share my mentor's story so you can see the 'simple and true' solution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can be successful, too!  The first step is to read the f-r-e-e ebook!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.bigmlmlies.com/?mad=38179"&gt;Click Here For The E-Book&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sarah Thompson&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;   MLM Success Story   &lt;img src="http://ddengler2.mentoringforfree.com/img/pics/Thompson.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Florida - I was the oldest daughter of 12 children. I worked a lot from the time I was very young. But everything I made went to support the family. Since I was a little girl, I always wanted to be free. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Later, While raising four children of my own, I signed up with the latest, greatest, can't-fail home-based business. I had house parties and called on family members, with no results. I switched companies and tried calling Aunts, sisters and cousins to buy my weight-loss products. No success.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I got divorced. After night school, I got a lucrative corporate position in the late 1980's. But it turned out not to be the dream I wanted.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Back to Network Marketing.  I studied, analyzed and joined countless programs. I was told&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Buy leads. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Make a list of friends and family.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;To be successful, I'd have to get 100 "no"s in order to get one "yes".&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Make more calls. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;   &lt;p&gt;After 14 failed attempts, spending thousands of dollars for guru "secrets", I was pretty discouraged.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In late 2007, I ran into "Success in 10 Steps" by Michael Dlouhy. I looked at the table of contents and thought, "Huh? Where is step 1, step 2, and all the other steps?" The chapters had titles like ëYour warm market has ice in their veins," and "Give your prospects a puppy". &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Oh, right, Michael. This is REALLY going to help. NOT!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;A few days later, the phone rang. Michael Dlouhy himself is calling me?? Must be someone using his name. Must be a sales call. Somehow he must know I have a few dollars left on my credit card.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We talked for a few minutes. He invited me to listen in on a free training call. Weird. He never tried to close me.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;He called again, a few times. I was suspicious. But still no closing. At least it didn't cost anything. And somehow he began to make sense.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;He called again and tells me he knows I am quiet, need data and then more data, that I'm slow to decide, well organized, and do not like calling leads. What is this guy, a mind reader? He says, "Sarah, you're perfect to do this business just the way you are." Now he has me. But I refuse to let him know.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Next call, I break. I tell him about my 14 failed attempts, my lead buying, my collection of no's, and how all 14 uplines told me I was not working hard enough.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Michael patiently explains how to evaluate an MLM company. Bam, wow I get it! My failure in MLM really was not my fault. So I ask, "How much to continue, Michael?" I mentally brace myself for his reply. "No payments. But you have to follow our training program."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;After the call, I get an e-mail with four audio links, and no place credit card numbers. I listened to the audios several times. I have a notebook full of notes. On the next call, I asked questions. Hmm. Sounds like the real deal. I start to attend the training sessions. I get addicted.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Michael calls again. Now, it's like we're old friends. He says " Sarah, Linda and I will believe in You until You believe in Yourself" The most powerful words he could have said. How did he know I did not believe in myself?"&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h5&gt;That is exactly what Michael and Linda did - they loaned me their belief until I found my own. It worked, simply worked, because it is simple and true.&lt;/h5&gt;      &lt;div class="ebook"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.bigmlmlies.com/?mad=38179" target="_blank"&gt;Click Here For E-Book&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;!--Session data--&gt;&lt;input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;div id="refHTML"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;!--Session data--&gt;&lt;input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;div id="refHTML"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-1845941298504499541?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/1845941298504499541/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=1845941298504499541' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/1845941298504499541'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/1845941298504499541'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2010/01/it-worked-simply-worked.html' title='&quot;It worked, simply worked&quot;'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-1401194563229299752</id><published>2009-10-03T15:58:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-03T16:27:52.437-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tired of fighting and struggling'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='changes the very circumstance that brings the pain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='things were so hard'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faced the same adversity'/><title type='text'>A Carrot, An Egg, and A Cup of Coffee</title><content type='html'>A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her.  She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up.  She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her mother took her to the kitchen.  She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil.  In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans.  She let them sit and boil; without saying a word.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners.  She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl.  She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl.  Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl.  Turning to her daughter, she asked, "Tell me what you see."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots.  She did and noted that they were soft.  The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it.  After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg.  Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee.  The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma.  The daughter then asked, "What does it mean, mother?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity:  boiling water.  Each reacted differently.  The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting.  However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak.  The egg had been fragile.  Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.  The ground coffee beans were unique, however.  After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Which are you?" she asked her daughter.  "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond?  Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think of this:  Which am I?  Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat?  Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff?  Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or am I like the coffee bean?  The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain.  When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor.  If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest do you elevate yourself to another level?  How do you handle adversity?  Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are tired of fighting and struggling in your network business, click the link below for a f*ree ebook on how to be successful.

This is no doubt true, and I believe that reading is a key skill necessary to self-education. Statistics say the average CEO in America reads 4-5 books per month while the average American reads 1 book per year! This same statistic goes on to say that 60% of those average Americans don't even get past the first chapter in that one book! You may shrug your shoulders and say – okay big deal – so what? I am not comfortable reading, I gave up reading after school, I am not a reader and why should that bother me?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Whether it should bother you or not is for you to decide - remember breaking through means expanding your comfort zone.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I simply share the facts with you. So here is another interesting fact: The average CEO of a &lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;Fortune&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; 500 company will earn an average of 536 times the salary of the average employee of the company he runs. This means that the employee of that company will work for a year and a half to equal the salary of the CEO for one day! What an extremely amazing and true statistic! Now, I am not going to suggest to you that the only difference between the CEO and the average employee is that the CEO reads a lot of books and the employee doesn't; however, I will suggest to you that is one of the major differences.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Now, if it is true that knowledge and even reading has a correlation to income, and I believe that it does, then wouldn't it be logical to conclude that it is in our benefit and interest to read?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The human mind is the greatest computer ever created. Nothing in the world will ever compare to it. It is a truly phenomenal machine that, when fed, will respond with results that will astound you. Benjamin Franklin told us that if we take the pennies from our pockets and put them in our heads, our heads will then fill up our pockets once again. This is so true. The person who invests time educating himself will reap a lifetime of extra knowledge, fun and income.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;So let's do what Franklin suggested and spend our pennies on books. As we read these books gain more and more knowledge, we'll look back in amazement as our knowledge and quality of life increases.

Instead of choosing one of his Directors or his children, he decided to do something different.  He called all the young executives in his company together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said, "It is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO. I have decided to choose one of you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The young executives were shocked, but the boss continued.  "I am going to give each of you a SEED today - one very special SEED.  I want you to plant the seed, water it, and come back here one year from today with what you have grown from the seed I have given you.  I will the judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be the next CEO."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One man, named Jim, was there that day and he, like the others, received a seed.  He went home and excitedly, told his wife the story.  She helped him get a pot, soil and compost and he planted the seed.  Everyday he would water it and watch to see if it had grown.  After about three weeks, some of the other executives began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jim kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by, still nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By now, the others were talking about their plants, but Jim didn't have a plant and he felt like a failure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Six months went by -- still nothing in Jim's pot.  He just knew he had killed his seed.  Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but he had nothing.  Jim didn't say anything to his colleagues, however.  He just kept watering and fertilizing the soil - He so wanted the seed to grow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A year finally went by and all the young executives of the company brought their plants to the CEO for inspection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jim told his wife that he wasn't going to take an empty pot.  But she asked him to be honest about what happened.  Jim felt sick to his stomach, it was going to be the most embarrassing moment of his life, but he knew his wife was right.  He took his empty pot to the board room. When Jim arrived, he was amazed at the variety of plants grown by the other executives. They were beautiful -- in all shapes and sizes.  Jim put his empty pot on the floor and many of his colleagues laughed, a few felt sorry for him!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the CEO arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted his young executives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jim just tried to hide in the back.  "My, what great plants, tree, and flowers you have grown," said the CEO.  "Today, one of you will be appointed the next CEO!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of a sudden, the CEO spotted Jim at the back of the room with his empty pot.  He ordered the Financial Director to bring him to the front.  Jim was terrified.  He thought, "the CEO knows I'm a failure!  Maybe he will have me fired!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Jim got to the front, the CEO asked him what had happened to his seed - Jim told him the story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The CEO asked everyone to sit down except Jim. He looked at Jim, and then announced to the young executives, "Behold, your next Chef Executive Officer!  His name is Jim!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jim couldn't believe it.  Jim couldn't even grow his seed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"How could he be the new CEO?"  the others asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then the CEO said, "One year ago today, I gave everyone in this room a seed.  I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it, and bring it back to me today. But I gave you all boiled seeds; they were dead - it was not possible for then to grow.  All of you, except Jim, have brought me trees and plants and flowers.  When you found that the seed would not grow, you substituted another seed for the one I gave you.  Jim was the only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot with my seed in it.  Therefore, he is the one who will be the new Chef Executive Officer!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IF YOU PLANT HONESTY, YOU WILL REAP TRUST!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IF YOU PLANT GOODNESS, YOU WILL REAP FRIENDS!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IF YOU PLANT HUMILITY, YOU WILL REAP GREATNESS!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IF YOU PLANT PERSEVERANCE, YOU WILL REAP CONTENTMENT!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IF YOU PLANT CONSIDERATION, YOU WILL REAP PERSPECTIVE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IF YOU PLANT HARD WORK, YOU WILL REAP SUCCESS!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IF YOU PLANT FORGIVENESS, YOU WILL REAP RECONCILIATION!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IF YOU PLANT FAITH, YOU WILL REAP A HARVEST!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SO, BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU PLANT NOW, IT WILL DETERMINE WHAT YOU WILL REAP LATER...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"WHATEVER YOU GIVE TO LIFE, LIFE GIVES YOU BACK!"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-7828944483518210035?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/7828944483518210035/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=7828944483518210035' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/7828944483518210035'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/7828944483518210035'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2009/08/seed.html' title='THE SEED'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-6017811582681647806</id><published>2009-07-28T19:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-28T10:25:56.522-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='the nicest thing they could say'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='they are special and important'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='accomplished its purpose'/><title type='text'>THE LIST</title><content type='html'>One day a teacher asked her students to list the names&lt;br /&gt;of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper,&lt;br /&gt;leaving a space between each name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they&lt;br /&gt;could say about each of their classmates and write it&lt;br /&gt;down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It took the remainder of the class period to finish&lt;br /&gt;their assignment, and as the students left the room,&lt;br /&gt;each one handed in the papers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each&lt;br /&gt;student on a separate sheet of paper, and listed what&lt;br /&gt;everyone else had said about that individual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before&lt;br /&gt;long, the entire class was smiling. 'Really?' she heard whispered.&lt;br /&gt;'I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!' and,&lt;br /&gt;'I didn't know others liked me so much,' were most&lt;br /&gt;of the comments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She&lt;br /&gt;never knew if they discussed them after class or with&lt;br /&gt;their parents, but it didn't matter.&lt;br /&gt;The exercise had accomplished its purpose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The students were happy with themselves and one another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That group of students moved on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several years later, one of the students was killed in&lt;br /&gt;Vietnam and his teacher attended the funeral of that&lt;br /&gt;special student. She had never seen a serviceman in a&lt;br /&gt;military coffin before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He looked so handsome, so mature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The church was packed with his friends. One by one&lt;br /&gt;those who loved him took a last walk by the coffin.&lt;br /&gt;The teacher was the last one to bless the coffin&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As she stood there, one of the soldiers who acted as&lt;br /&gt;pallbearer came up to  her. 'Were you Mark's math&lt;br /&gt;teacher?' he asked. She nodded: 'yes.' Then he said:&lt;br /&gt;'Mark talked about you a lot.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the funeral, most of Mark's former classmates&lt;br /&gt;went together to a luncheon..... Mark's mother and&lt;br /&gt;father were there, obviously waiting to speak with&lt;br /&gt;his teacher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'We want to show you something,' his father said,&lt;br /&gt;taking a wallet out of his pocket 'They found this&lt;br /&gt;on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might&lt;br /&gt;recognize it.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two worn&lt;br /&gt;pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped,&lt;br /&gt;folded and refolded many times....... The teacher knew&lt;br /&gt;without looking that the papers were the ones on which&lt;br /&gt;she had listed all the good things each of Mark's class&lt;br /&gt;mates had said about him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Thank you so much for doing that,' Mark's mother said.&lt;br /&gt;'As you can see, Mark treasured it.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of Mark's former classmates started to gather around.&lt;br /&gt;Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said, 'I still have&lt;br /&gt;my list. It's in the top drawer of my desk at home.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chuck's wife said, 'Chuck asked me to put his in our&lt;br /&gt;wedding album..'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'I have mine too,' Marilyn said. 'It's in my diary'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her pocket&lt;br /&gt;book, took out her wallet and showed her worn and&lt;br /&gt;frazzled list to the group. 'I carry this with me at&lt;br /&gt;all times,' Vicki said and without batting an eyelash,&lt;br /&gt;she continued: 'I think we all saved our lists'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's when the teacher finally sat down and cried.&lt;br /&gt;She cried for Mark and for all his friends who would&lt;br /&gt;never see him again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The density of people in society is so thick that we&lt;br /&gt;forget that life will end one day. And we don't know&lt;br /&gt;when that one day will be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So please, tell the people you love and care for, that&lt;br /&gt;they are special and important... Tell them, before it&lt;br /&gt;is too late.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-6017811582681647806?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/6017811582681647806/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=6017811582681647806' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/6017811582681647806'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/6017811582681647806'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2009/07/list.html' title='THE LIST'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-6148878461933048163</id><published>2009-07-15T19:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-15T19:53:42.867-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='autosuggestion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='action'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='subconscious mind'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='achievement'/><title type='text'>I CHOOSE GOOD!</title><content type='html'>Think &amp;amp; Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Chapter 4: Autosuggestion&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It can be used for GOOD or BAD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have control of my own mind!  I Choose Good!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; "Recall what has been said about the subconscious mind resembling a fertile garden spot, in which WEEDS will grow in abundance, if the SEEDS of more desirable crops are not sown therein.  AUTOSUGGESTION is the agency of control through which an individual may voluntarily FEED his subconscious mind on thoughts of a creative nature, or, by neglect, permit thoughts of a destructive nature to find their way into this rich garden of the mind." (Hill)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have recently seen the the seed of bitterness grow into hatred, and am seeing the destruction that it is causing in our extended family.  I refused to listen to the negativity, so I cut a conversation short.  I realize that the people speaking, though loved deeply by Mom and Dad, have said the lies long enough to believe that the opposite is true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I believe that the matter should be left in God's hands and my meddling will not help improve the situation, I will rest in peace. Even though my heart aches, I have faith that God will take care of the matter, because He Says So...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the children return to communication with us, we will be waiting with open ears to listen and receive them back into fellowship. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The point is:  WHATEVER SEED YOU ALLOW TO GROW IN THE FERTILE GARDEN OF YOUR MIND, that is the seed that will produce either GOOD or BAD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I CHOOSE GOOD!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Somewhere in your makeup (perhaps in the cells of your brain) there lies, &lt;i&gt;sleeping,&lt;/i&gt;THE SEED of ACHIEVEMENT which, if aroused and put into ACTION, would carry you to heights such as you may never have hoped to attain." (Hill)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, THINK ON THESE THINGS." Philippians 4:8&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice.  And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."  Ephesians 4:31-32&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for being KIND and forgiving.  Your unconditional love shows us how to have unconditional love for others.

The 'flashes' are sometimes called 'hunches' or 'inspirations.' "&lt;br /&gt;  "The sixth sense defies description!  It cannot be described to a person who has not mastered the other principles of this philosophy, because such a person has no knowledge, and no experience with which the sixth sense may be compared.  Understanding of the sixth sense comes only by meditation through mind development from within.  The sixth sense probably is the medium of contact between the finite mind of man and Infinite Intelligence, and for this reason, it is a mixture of both the mental and the spiritual.  It is believed to be the point at which the mind of man contacts the Universal Mind."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel compelled at this point to share a Miracle that has happened to someone I know.  Miracle = Something only God can do&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several weeks ago, a former assistant pastor of our church, was diagnosed with leukemia.  He had been very sick and the white blood count was very high.  Thousands of people lifted his name up in prayer to the God of the universe.  He also had a unwavering faith in God and witnessed of his belief to all around him.  He said, "God is painting a picture, I just can't see it yet."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, the doctors prescribed chemo therapy, which made him even sicker!  He spent a miserable two-three weeks in the hospital. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday, the doctors checked his blood again, and did not find any trace of leukemia (or high white blood count), so they said he could go home today.  God has created our bodies with the awesome ability to heal itself if given proper nutrition.  Above that, despite what the doctors do or prescribe, God is still the Great Physician.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The doctors can't explain it.  I believe God healed him.  God does hear and answer prayers. This is part of my FAITH.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Debbie Engler&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.bigmlmsecrets.com/?mad=15872"&gt;http://ddengler2.bigmlmsecrets.com/?mad=15872              &lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-4416238758284876617?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/4416238758284876617/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=4416238758284876617' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/4416238758284876617'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/4416238758284876617'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2009/06/sixth-sense-defies-description.html' title='The sixth sense defies description!'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-635837752923263259</id><published>2009-05-12T20:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-12T20:40:39.622-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='driving desire'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='motivation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='commitment'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pursued his career'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='relationship'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='influence of the right woman'/><title type='text'>Motivated by Love</title><content type='html'>"No man is HAPPY or COMPLETE without the modifying INFLUENCE of the RIGHT WOMAN." Napoleon Hill&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to share with you some of the driving emotions of our older son and daughter- in-law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our son, Jon, joined the Florida Air National Guard, seven years ago at the Air Force Base in Jacksonville, FL.  He actively fulfilled his monthly weekend duty and two-week summer tour of duty for several years.  About a year before he joined the guard (FANG), he met his future wife.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jon attended Bob Jones University for one year before he found his niche in architecture.  While Jon was attending BJU, Melody visited the campus for high school music competition.  She was a senior in high school and was very talented in music, specifically voice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When their paths crossed and they began to talk to each other, they realized that they had a lot in common.  They both had conservative standards and both had a strong desire to serve God with their life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melody went on to Pensacola, FL, for college, and Jon pursued his career in architecture in Jacksonville, FL.  They emailed a few times, then Jon called Melody.  The relationship, though long distant, began.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melody went four years to college while Jon worked at an engineering firm and the national guard.  He also was on a tour of duty in Iraq for 4 months in 2004.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the course of their relationship, they seldom saw each other, but communicated through the internet and eventually Jon bought two cell phones on a phone plan,so that they could talk daily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During Melody's senior year at college, during Christmas break, Jon proposed, and "She said, YES!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Melody graduated from college, she moved to Jacksonville to teach second grade in a Christian school.  Jacksonville, FL, is a BIG city! (The city of Jacksonville takes up the whole county of Duval.)  Melody lived at the south end in Orange Park, while Jon lived near the airport at the north end.  Even though they were in the same city, they still had a long-distant relationship in miles.  However, they knew how to communicate!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They were married June 24, 2006, in Maryland.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jon moved into Melody's apartment and transferred his military status to a base on the south side of Jacksonville, too.  Shortly after they got married, Jon and Melody announced that Jon would be going into Para-Rescue training!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para-rescue training is very tough!  It is the Air Force Special Operations, comparable to the Navy Seals.  It certainly isn't marriage friendly!  Melody's dad was in the Coast Guard.  So she had grown up with the military.  Still we are talking about two years of training away from family and loved ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jon started this special training in October, 2007, and will complete the course in September, 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't describe the driving desire that fuels his motivation, but Jon has always put 110% into everything he desires to do.  Through the long periods of time he is separated from his wife, his deep desire to achieve and complete the task at hand has been accompanied with the love for his wife and family, and his deep commitment to protect &amp;amp; serve his others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am biased because this is about my son and daughter-in-law, but these men &amp;amp; women must be commended for their desire and commitment to protect our rights &amp;amp; freedom!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of them are motivated BY the LOVE of someone back home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am Proud of our military!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Debbie Engler&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-635837752923263259?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/635837752923263259/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=635837752923263259' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/635837752923263259'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/635837752923263259'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2009/05/motivated-by-love.html' title='Motivated by Love'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-7131859976355791336</id><published>2009-05-06T03:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-06T03:44:47.016-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='write down the elements'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='prioritize'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='make a decision'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='achieve what you want in life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Michael Dlouhy'/><title type='text'>Picture Exactly What You Want - All the Detail</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;To achieve what you want in life, you must know exactly what it is, be able to 100% define it, picture every detail of it. People often don’t do this very well. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But here’s the thing: if you can’t picture every detail, then you don’t really know what you want.&lt;/strong&gt; And if you don’t really know what you want, how can you make it happen?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;A big problem for a lot of people is that what they want is a moving target. That will never work. You have to make a decision, before you can go for it. That’s the only way you can create a strong vision.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Writing down a description is the place to start. Make a list of all the things that would make you happy. Everything. Don’t play devil’s advocate - write it all down in 5 minutes. Then prioritize - choose the top 3. The prioritize again - choose #1.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Now describe #1 completely. Picture achieving that goal. In fact, picture it again and again and again and again. As you run through that movie a few hundred times, make a list of everything you see. Every smallest detail. If a question comes up, run the movie by again. Write down the elements that become more clear.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The idea is to be able to run a perfect version of that movie in your head, time after time after time.&lt;/strong&gt; And watch closely, because over time, other smaller elements will become clear. Add them to your list.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Start working for this goal after you’ve watched the movie a few times, long before you have every detail totally clear. The harder you work at it, the harder it will be for you to give up. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;That is the way you set out to get what you want in life.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Your friends for life,&lt;/p&gt; Michael &amp;amp; Linda Dlouhy&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-7131859976355791336?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/7131859976355791336/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=7131859976355791336' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/7131859976355791336'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/7131859976355791336'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2009/05/picture-exactly-what-you-want-all.html' title='Picture Exactly What You Want - All the Detail'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-2103398441549661027</id><published>2009-04-28T19:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-28T19:40:58.954-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='trust'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='persistence'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='decision'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='believe without fear or doubt'/><title type='text'>I Will BELIEVE Without Fear or Doubt!</title><content type='html'>I will BELIEVE without fear or doubt!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I was a child, I took swimming lessons at a local river with other children my age..&lt;br /&gt;Every year there was a two week course given by a local lifeguard.&lt;br /&gt; My mother is deathly afraid of water, but she did not want her children to have the same fear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was not afraid of getting wet or being cold, but I did not trust the water to hold me up.&lt;br /&gt;I was a sinker, not a swimmer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; One time as a very young child, my grandfather sneezed very loudly and scared me so that I fell into the water from off the dock.&lt;br /&gt; My mother waited for me to come up and float, but I sank to the bottom and stayed there.&lt;br /&gt; When she jumped in the water and pulled me out, I was as stiff as a board. (She told me later.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At swimming lessons, I fought the water and was very fearful all of the first week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the second week, I was still very fearful.  It was almost the last day when I finally DECIDED to trust the water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guess What!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I sunk a little, but then I floated!  I actually started to enjoy the water. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was sorry that I had not trusted the water sooner, since it was kind of fun floating on the water!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I WILL believe without fear or doubt!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will be PERSISTENT!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-2103398441549661027?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/2103398441549661027/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=2103398441549661027' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/2103398441549661027'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/2103398441549661027'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2009/04/i-will-believe-without-fear-or-doubt.html' title='I Will BELIEVE Without Fear or Doubt!'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-4590880764220398186</id><published>2009-04-07T17:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-07T19:59:09.114-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='entrepreneurs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='definite plan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Success in 10 Steps'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Retail Website'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Napoeon Hill'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='no limitations to our imagination'/><title type='text'>Imagine That!</title><content type='html'>"Ideas are products of the IMAGINATION."  Napoleon Hill&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  When my husband, Dennis, and I first joined the company that we now call 'HOME', we found out that we could retail the products &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;anywhere &lt;/span&gt;you found a buyer.  There were no limitations to our imagination.  This set our minds to thinking... a store? Maybe go in with someone else?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  Dennis suggested the Flea Market or Jockey Lot as it is sometimes called.  A place where anyone can rent a space to sell just about anything, and people from the surrounding area come on weekends to buy and sell.   Sarah said that sounded like a good idea because there should be lots of entrepreneurs there.  I thought  it was a good idea, too, so I juggled it around in my mind for months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  Things I would need:&lt;br /&gt;1.   Price lists&lt;br /&gt;2.   Printed product brochures&lt;br /&gt;3.   Product samples&lt;br /&gt;4.   Prospect contact information sheets&lt;br /&gt;5.   Props for display&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The list could go on... but the IDEA was still in my head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wanted to promote the business, but feared the questions that I might not be able to answer.&lt;br /&gt;I did not have a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;DEFINITE PLAN&lt;/span&gt; - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;nothing was written down!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Friday, March 20th, I mentioned to Dennis that we NEEDED to stop by the Jockey Lot on Saturday, to see what arrangements could be made to rent a space and promote the business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturday, we went, checked out a couple spots and got a map of the grounds with a phone number to call to reserve a spot.  For some reason, we did not reserve a spot for the next Saturday.  We could call Friday afternoon or Saturday morning, but it just didn't feel like the right time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, does March 28th, ring a bell for anyone?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our amazing company came up with an&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; EXCELLENT IDEA!  A RETAIL WEBSITE!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOW I HAD ALL THAT I NEEDED.  Not a lot of papers, but A WEBSITE that I could POINT PEOPLE TO so that they could get &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ALL THE INFORMATION and BUY&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;THE PRODUCTS!&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, Saturday, April 4th, I took a box full of empty containers (we had used all those products ourselves), 25 company magazines, five paperback books "&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.bigmlmsecrets.com/?mad=15872"&gt;Success in 10 Steps&lt;/a&gt;", a simple black plastic tablecloth, two small boxes and white pieces of cloth (to cover the small boxes and set up a display of containers), a simple contact information sheet for people to fill out, and business cards that I wrote the Retail Website on the back of.   (We even wore our Team t-shirts!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I had a great time and all I did was greet people.  If they stopped to talk or had questions, I gave them the website and told them that all the information was there for them.  I got 8 good leads this week.  I'll let you know about next Saturday...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a Great week!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Debbie Engler&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-4590880764220398186?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/4590880764220398186/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=4590880764220398186' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/4590880764220398186'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/4590880764220398186'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2009/04/imagine-that.html' title='Imagine That!'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-1783608224332240733</id><published>2009-03-31T17:45:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-31T18:00:33.914-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pinpoint your motivations'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Success in 10 Steps'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='profitable network marketing business'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Michael Dlouhy'/><title type='text'>A Great Coach is Very Clear on Their Own "Why"</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;To build a stable, profitable network marketing business, you must &lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Offer prospects a tested, proven lead generation &amp;amp; training system&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Develop your own ability to coach your recruits to success in your system&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt; &lt;p&gt;The most important element of being able to coach your recruits to success is … you.

Someplace inside, there is a conflict that won’t let them achieve their perfectly planned &amp;amp; defined dream.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;It’s OK. It’s all part of the process you have to go through to get what you want. In this case, you’ve got to find the limiting beliefs or ideas that are gumming up the works and keeping you from reaching the success you deserve.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;So long as you are aware that there is a problem someplace in your thinking process, it will soon become apparent to you. You’ll be working, working, working … and then BLAM! Something flashes through your head and tells you to slow down or stop.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;What is it. What exactly is that conflict? What exactly does it say to you?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;So if you’ve created that perfect moving picture of the dream you want to achieve, and you still are having problems, you’ve got to know there is a conflict inside you, and you must be alert and spot it when it comes out from hiding.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Be ready for it. Get a good, good look at it. Watch how it sabotages you, keeps you from achieving your dreams.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Once you have seen this bit of doubt or fear or confusion totally, it loses its power over you. If it ever tries to get a foothold again, you’ll recognize it immediately … and you’ll be able to continue pursuing your dream as if there was no resistance whatsoever.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Try it … it works just like that!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Your friends forever,&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Michael &amp;amp; Linda Dlouhy&lt;br /&gt;“Be a mentor with a servant’s heart”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-6549487886187907113?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/6549487886187907113/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=6549487886187907113' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/6549487886187907113'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/6549487886187907113'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-blow-up-monkey-wrench.html' title='How To Blow up a Monkey Wrench'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-3979131497985129780</id><published>2009-03-17T17:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-17T17:22:01.898-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='leaders create results'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='own your life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='making a difference'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='5 levels of leadership'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='divine purpose'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Michael Dlouhy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='like-minded people'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='complete satisfaction'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='duplicatable system'/><title type='text'>Leaders Create Results- The 5 Levels Of Leadership</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="nodecontent"&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Think about it, you are in a leadership business!  Everything rises and falls on leadership, doesn't it?  At least that is what my mentor taught me.  True leadership is when we can sit back in complete satisfaction and look at how many people we have helped.  Leadership is making a difference in the lives of those individuals who have been placed in our path for a divine purpose.  Leaders create results and I believe that we (like-minded people) are all striving to become leadership developing factories, right?  Think about it, everything is based off of leadership, every area of our life.  I am moving my way up the 5 levels of leadership and I want to take you with me on this journey.  It feels so good when you can be a part of pushing someone up, after all our business is PEOPLE!  Michael Dlouhy says it best, he says to "study people!"   &lt;/p&gt; &lt;div&gt;Leaders never stop learning!  It isn't happening.  A leader is totally devoted to continuous growth in all areas of their life.  Leaders clearly understand that in order to make more you must become more.  This brings us to the first level of leadership. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;1. Learn-  It is my responsibility to my family to &lt;a title="http://ddengler2.bigmlmsecrets.com/?mad=15872" href="http://ddengler2.bigmlmsecrets.com/?mad=15872"&gt;"own my life"&lt;/a&gt; and make our dream a reality, down to every fine detail.  This means we will study successful people and take interest in how they accomplished their victories, learning from those who have done it.  Readers are leaders and always will be.  There is a strong thirst for constant growth that becomes stronger and stronger as we continue to educate and feed ourselves accurate information.  Leaders learn through experience.  This brings us to the next level.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;2. Performance- This is the next stage in leadership.  Performance gives you competence.  Think about a baby.  That determined child is born into this world with not one drop of fear in them.  That tiny child will develop a burning desire to roll over for the first time or take that first step.  What an inspiration to see little children fall down and get back up over and over, it could be a thousand times later and that child will not give up until it reaches Victory.  The burning persistence in that child to achieve that goal is unstoppable. What it comes down to is we have to "Do", to know "How," right?  Action must be taken and we must show that we are competent to be a leader by &lt;i&gt;"doing."  &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;3.  Lead- Now you become the conductor of the orchestra.  We have shown we are skilled by taking action and showing that we are capable of leading and have reached an increased level of influence. You have demonstrated your character and others are looking up to you for direction.  This is when we can take them by the hand and teach them what we have learned, thus far on this journey to "&lt;a title="Owning Our Life" href="http://ddengler2.bigmlmsecrets.com/?mad=15872" id="i382"&gt;Owning Our Life&lt;/a&gt; ."  This works best when there is a proven duplicatable system to point them to.  Without a proven duplicatable system, "we are toast," as Michael Dlouhy says.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;4. Develop Leaders- Leadership is all about replacing myself.  That is the ultimate goal isn't it?  To build up others to a level where they are developing leaders and leading the choir.  A level 4 leader is often barely known by many; their team is receiving the credit and getting All the glory!  This leader cares more about helping his leaders get results than getting any recognition.  This can be a dangerous place if we don't pay close attention.  Some people will get comfortable at this point.  It’s a subtle thing; a person may think that they have learned the skills necessary to retain that leadership role.   Don't fall into that rut.  Know that there is always someone else to help.  Always!  This is when we go back and find people who are ready to progress through their levels of leadership and we begin at that starting level with them and proceed toward their goal.  There will be many people working at different levels of leadership.  All playing together, unified and working toward their own unique, compelling vision.   The best part is the vision is big enough for all of them now.  We have to lay out that vision and it needs to be big enough for others to be a part of.  The leadership journey is by far well worth it!!  It’s who we become through the process.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;5. Developing Leaders Who Develop Leaders- This is the ultimate place of excitement!  This is when we are changing the world.  This is when men and women of integrity will assemble their army who will live and stand on truth.

Want to hear it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you never had to go to work again, would that be okay?  (As long as you still got a paycheck.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I felt the same way.  My job interferes with my life.  Last summer my husband and I couldn't get the same week off, so we ended up taking separate vacations.  I spend hours commuting to work every week.  So I decided to start some sort of home based business so I wouldn't have to spend all of my time at the job until age 65.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got figuring... I only need about $20,000 a year to replace my take-home pay, so I went looking for a business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know how a lot of people are always dieting, drinking energy drinks like Red Bull, and a lot of people take vitamins and are interested in natural health?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, there is a 5-pillars company that has cool versions of these products that people really like.  They have some cookies that dieters love to eat to manage their weight, an energy drink about 1/3 the price of Red Bull, but gives you a better buzz, and lots of vitamins and healthy things people buy from them all the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To earn $20,000 a year in this 5-pillars company, I would need approximately 150 people using the products, and then I would never have to go to work again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I don't know how to get 150 users of the products now, but I can learn.  Hey, I learned to drive a car, learned to be a parent, learned how to do an email, and I can certainly learn a SYSTEM to get 150 people using the 5-pillars company products.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I started thinking, "What's going to be easier?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Going to work every weekday for the rest of my life, fighting traffic, warehousing the kids in day care, and begging for the time off for vacations?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"OR Learning a SYSTEM to get 150 people using a 5 pillar company products?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information about this 5 pillar company, contact me:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Debbie Engler in South Carolina&lt;br /&gt;864-379-8156&lt;br /&gt;debbieengler@gmail.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.bigmlmsecrets.com/?mad=15872"&gt;Get My Free Ebook&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-3057921216510995802?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/3057921216510995802/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=3057921216510995802' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/3057921216510995802'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/3057921216510995802'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2009/03/i-have-good-story-takes-abouttwo.html' title='I Have a Good Story.

Rome Burned. What Did You Do Today?</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Did you know that everything you do influences everything else you do?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We are definitely creatures of habit. Example: if your habit is to turn on the TV every night when you get home from work, then what does THAT influence? Just to start, you might safely say:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;the communication between you and others in your family&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;your mental activity and alertness&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;your outlook on life&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;the time you have available for personal growth&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;your ability to advance in your chosen career&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Again, everything you do influences everything else you do. So you have the choice of lots of actions that can have long-term effects, either positive or negative.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Any habit can help you get farther ahead every day … or it can push you farther down. That’s why it’s so important to make choices that help you achieve your dreams.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;It’s the old “slight edge” theory. Because the clock of your life is always running, the slight edge is always working 100% of the time. If you don’t strategize to make it work in your favor, then it will definitely work against you. The old saying goes, “Nero fiddled while Rome burned.” Definitely a guy who didn’t understand the slight edge.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Aren’t you glad you’re not Nero?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Your friends for life,&lt;/p&gt; Michael &amp;amp; Linda Dlouhy&lt;br /&gt;“Be a mentor with a servant’s heart!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.bigmlmsecrets.com/?mad=15872"&gt;"Get my Free ebook"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-1063677342549518518?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/1063677342549518518/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=1063677342549518518' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/1063677342549518518'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/1063677342549518518'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2009/03/nero-fiddles-rome-burned-what-did-you.html' title='Nero Fiddled.

I have been with MLM companies for many years and have never been compensated like I have with my present business.  I have never been with a group of people who support me with encouragement and advice as with my present business.  Here is my problem, though,  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I don't like to ask for help!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am a mixture of color personalities that doesn't like to 'bother' others and thought they didn't have the time to help me.  (I didn't have a lot of self esteem, either.) I have come a long way, but I will always be looking for more improvement, knowledge, and understanding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am working on self development.  I have been reading books such as &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Slight Edge&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; by Jeff Olson, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Think &amp;amp; Grow Rich&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;by Napoleon Hill, and several others.  I am learning a lot about myself that will help me to be a leader and a better friend that you might want to be around.  I am not a 'spring chicken' anymore, so these things are important to me and those I love.  Napoleon hill says most people come into their best years when they are in their 50's &amp;amp; 60's.  I guess there is still hope for most of us!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are trying to &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;make a GO of any business &lt;/span&gt;and are having problems &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;getting leads&lt;/span&gt; or &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;support&lt;/span&gt;, or just &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;a decent additional income check&lt;/span&gt;, please contact me or download this F*ree ebook to get started in the right direction:&lt;br /&gt;http://ddengler2.bigmlmsecrets.com/?mad=15872&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Don't be afraid to ASK for help! &lt;/span&gt; There is a lot of help available for no cost.  Everyone deserves a '&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;foot up&lt;/span&gt;' to help them on their way to success.  I would love to help you with your biggest business needs so that you can say that you are successful, and developing into a leader, too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ddengler2.bigmlmsecrets.com/?mad=15872"&gt;"Get my Free ebook"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From South Carolina to Your Success,&lt;br /&gt;Debbie Engler&lt;br /&gt;864-379-8156&lt;br /&gt;ddengler2@gmail.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-5924358699102212709?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/5924358699102212709/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=5924358699102212709' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/5924358699102212709'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/5924358699102212709'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2009/02/dont-be-afraid-to-ask-for-help.html' title='Don&apos;t Be Afraid to ASK for Help!'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-8613089087831973005</id><published>2009-02-17T19:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-17T19:41:29.835-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Success in 10 Steps'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='long-term relationship-building plan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Michael Dlouhy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='share your dreams and goals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='network marketing success'/><title type='text'>Network Marketing Success--YOUR distributorship can become BIG BUSINESS</title><content type='html'>&lt;small&gt;By andrew19781960&lt;/small&gt;     &lt;div class="snap_preview"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just like in a brick and mortar business, you need a good plan for network marketing success. The failure rate for all types of business is astronomical. It’s certainly no different for a Network Marketing business. Distributorships are very inexpensive, so virtually anyone can start their own business. Because it costs almost nothing to start a Network Marketing business it’s often thought of as “not a real business”. Nothing could be further from the truth. You can be rest assured, Professional Network Marketers know how big the ROI can be. Make no mistake, YOUR distributorship can become BIG BUSINESS.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And yet, so many people these days are spouting the “multiple streams of income” nonsense in MLM. You can look long and hard and still never find anyone who is successful in 2 MLM businesses at the same time. No kidding, it’s tough to find a person who has actually built full-time income in ONE business. So what would make people think they could build FIVE business at a time, as some of them say they do? Without a doubt: they’re full of it.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Some people think that by promoting 5 businesses to you, maybe you’ll get excited by one and join. That doesn’t work for most people and then they are gone. What works is to pick the best company you can find and build that business. Multiple streams of MLM income is BS, don’t let some knucklehead fool you.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;To achieve your goals, you’ve got to start with a big network of people who like you and trust you, or you must build that network. It would be a feather in your hat to understand marketing, because you will need to continually build your network.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;One reason people choose to build an MLM business - they want to escape from a job working with people they just don’t feel comfortable with. Unfortunately, some people get desperate when they’re building their network marketing group, and they sign up anyone with a plus. Don’t do that. Really, the sign-up bonus just isn’t worth the trouble. One Rule of Thumb when you’re talking to somebody is to ask yourself, “Is this someone I’d want to be on a vacation with?”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This is your business, and you choose the people you will work closely with. Don’t choose someone you just don’t like. Instead, only go with people who you think would be a blast to be around, who share your dreams and goals. It’s very satisfying to find new close friends and then to support them as they go for their lifetime goals. It’s depressing to talk again and again to an unmotivated person and listen to them gripe about the business you love. I call them “The Walking Dead”. You really need to have your standards set high in your mind when you talk to candidates for you business. Hang a sign outside your office…No Zombies Allowed&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;That major reason for the popularity of network marketing is the idea that when you get a lot of people doing a few simple things, it can be very, very profitable for you. You’ll get insights to this idea and many others in Michael Dlouhy’s classic MLM ebook, “Success in 10 Steps.” It explains why people have been frustrated in MLM and how they turned it around using this book.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You also get a step-by-step long-term relationship-building plan to make you successful in Network Marketing. But even more than that, because the book doesn’t mention any company or product, it is a tool I highly recommend because lots of MLMers now use it to generate their own targeted Network Marketing leads.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Get your F*R*E*E copy of "Success in 10 Steps" at http://ddengler2.bigmlmsecrets.com/?mad=15872 &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-8613089087831973005?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/8613089087831973005/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=8613089087831973005' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/8613089087831973005'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/8613089087831973005'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2009/02/network-marketing-success-your.html' title='Network Marketing Success--YOUR distributorship can become BIG BUSINESS'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-7564025909915518771</id><published>2009-02-09T19:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-09T19:35:50.903-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Richard Dennis'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Boy Scout Oath'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Be Prepared'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Do a Good Turn Daily'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Boy Scout Law'/><title type='text'>A Boy Scout Comes Clean</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Article written by Richard Dennis&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I spent several years as a Boy Scout … about 50 years ago. Great memories. I loved the camaraderie, and I especially loved the camping trips, hikes, canoeing sunsets, campfires, jamborees … Wow!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;At my first jamboree of many dozens of scout troops, my scoutmaster sent me to the other side of the camp to get a sky-hook from a troop over there. Unfortunately, when I got there, that scoutmaster had already lent his sky-hook to a troop way back over near where I’d come from. Oh, well. I got there, but it turned out THAT scoutmaster had also lent out the sky-hook … I think you’re beginning to get the picture.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;After a couple hours I returned to camp, apologizing to my scoutmaster because I had no sky-hook. He was very forgiving, however, because they’d gotten along without it. What he really needed at the moment was some black whitewash. He heard that a troop way the heck over there had it, if I would just go get it … so off I went.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Those were definitely the good old days.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Anyway, recalling some of these memories, I looked up one of my all-time favorite written pieces. You’ve probably read it before, but I’ll share it here now, because it’s a good one to bring back into current vision from time to time.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Boy Scout Oath, Law, Motto, and Slogan&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scout Oath (or Promise)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;On my honor I will do my best&lt;br /&gt;To do my duty to God and my country&lt;br /&gt;and to obey the Scout Law;&lt;br /&gt;To help other people at all times;&lt;br /&gt;To keep myself physically strong,&lt;br /&gt;mentally awake, and morally straight.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scout Law&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;TRUSTWORTHY&lt;br /&gt;A Scout tells the truth. He keeps his promises. Honesty is part of his code of conduct. People can depend on him.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;LOYAL&lt;br /&gt;A Scout is true to his family, Scout leaders, friends, school, and nation.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;HELPFUL&lt;br /&gt;A Scout is concerned about other people. He does things willingly for others without pay or reward.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;FRIENDLY&lt;br /&gt;A Scout is a friend to all. He is a brother to other Scouts. He seeks to understand others. He respects those with ideas and customs other than his own.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;COURTEOUS&lt;br /&gt;A Scout is polite to everyone regardless of age or position. He knows good manners make it easier for people to get along together.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;KIND&lt;br /&gt;A Scout understands there is strength in being gentle. He treats others as he wants to be treated. He does not hurt or kill harmless things without reason.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;OBEDIENT&lt;br /&gt;A Scout follows the rules of his family, school, and troop. He obeys the laws of his community and country. If he thinks these rules and laws are unfair, he tries to have them changed in an orderly manner rather than disobey them.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;CHEERFUL&lt;br /&gt;A Scout looks for the bright side of things. He cheerfully does tasks that come his way. He tries to make others happy.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;THRIFTY&lt;br /&gt;A Scout works to pay his way and to help others. He saves for unforeseen needs. He protects and conserves natural resources. He carefully uses time and property.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;BRAVE&lt;br /&gt;A Scout can face danger even if he is afraid. He has the courage to stand for what he thinks is right even if others laugh at or threaten him.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;CLEAN&lt;br /&gt;A Scout keeps his body and mind fit and clean. He goes around with those who believe in living by these same ideals. He helps keep his home and community clean.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;REVERENT&lt;br /&gt;A Scout is reverent toward God. He is faithful in his religious duties. He respects the beliefs of others.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scout Motto: &lt;/strong&gt; Be Prepared&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scout Slogan: &lt;/strong&gt; Do a Good Turn Daily&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;——————————&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I agree with Richard Dennis when he says:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"In my estimation, one of the all-time great pieces of writing."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We would all do well to live by these laws.&lt;/p&gt;http://ddengler2.bigmlmsecrets.com/?mad=15872              &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-7564025909915518771?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/7564025909915518771/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=7564025909915518771' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/7564025909915518771'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/7564025909915518771'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2009/02/boy-scout-comes-clean.html' title='A Boy Scout Comes Clean'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-6704773075088751761</id><published>2009-02-03T18:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-03T18:00:01.625-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Success in 10 Steps'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='help for home business'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='frustrated network marketers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Michael Dlouhy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='free mentoring and training'/><title type='text'>Need Help For Home Business? - Ask Michael Dlouhy!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;small&gt;Article written by amirodonnell1975&lt;/small&gt;          &lt;div class="snap_preview"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why are there so many frustrated network marketers that fail in this industry while others are making six figures? Help for a home business is what many are looking for these days. The bad news is that there is so much bogus educational information out there - the good news is that there ARE people that have found solutions and have gone from frustrated to exhilarated within months.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Many are struggling to do exactly as their upline or sponsors are telling them to do, doing it faithfully day after day, month after month…. Still without seeing any significant results.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Oh, there may be a sale or two every so often, just enough to keep a little fire lit and for many, just the fact that they have invested thousands of dollars into advertising, etc, keeps them plugging faithfully on as their sponsors encourage them with this ” You are doing the right thing - &lt;b&gt;you just need to do more of it&lt;/b&gt;…&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Help for your home business is on the way if you are one of these frustrated network marketers.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Michael Dlouhy , a network marketer for the past thirty years found success early on in his network marketing career. However, after awhile he was finding that things had shifted and his team was no longer experiencing the success he had AND he was noticing that the failure rate in network marketing was very high…. Painfully high.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;So he set out to see what he could find. After researching hundreds of network marketing companies, studying hundreds of compensation plans and marketing plans - he came to this conclusion.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;It was rarely the fault of the people within the system , trying to build their business&lt;/b&gt;… in most cases it was either because of a faulty pay plan, lack of training, wrong fit for the person, wrong marketing methods used, outdated marketing methods…etc&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Michael knew that it was totally possible for ANYONE to experience outlandish success with network marketing, so he set out to find a way that could benefit people in ANY network marketing opportunity.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;He has developed a free mentoring and training course he openly shares and mentors others with and he calls it Success in 10 Steps. It has literally helped thousands of people find their way in this industry. Anyone looking for help for home business now has access to this coaching and mentoring and are creating lifestyles that others only dream of!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Take the first step to your success:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;http://ddengler2.bigmlmsecrets.com/?mad=15872              &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-6704773075088751761?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/6704773075088751761/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=6704773075088751761' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/6704773075088751761'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/6704773075088751761'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2009/02/need-help-for-home-business-ask-michael.html' title='Need Help For Home Business? - Ask Michael Dlouhy!'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-6932405187672281956</id><published>2009-01-27T18:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-27T19:09:35.863-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='struggles in building a business'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='personality colors'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Michael Dlouhy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='building an MLM business'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mentoring for Free'/><title type='text'>Color Your Way to MLM Success</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;What is the big deal about colors?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;article written  by Jennifer W.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When I mention colors, I am not talking about auras …  I don’t go there.  I’m talking about a box of crayons or markers.  It’s related to art work, but not on actual canvas.  It’s the beauty of people and how they have been created and how you, as network marketer, can best understand yourself and best understand the people you are mentoring in your business.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The colors I am referring to are &lt;a href="http://jenniferw.colortosuccess.com/?mad=28484"&gt;Blue, Green, Yellow Blue &lt;/a&gt;…  which personality color are you?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Over the years, I have participated in many a study on personality types, taken many a test to discover my own, and so forth.  Some call them Sanguine, Choleric, Melancholy and Phlegmatic.  I often felt confused as to what my personality type was because I had a variety of all of the characteristics.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;What’s the point of personality types in building an MLM business?  It’s a bigger deal than you might think and I hope this post will give you a good and clear insight into why.  I will also point out that this &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;ONE THING&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; has made the most dramatic impact on how I help others in their efforts to earn income from home.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;My first suggestion is that you let go of how you have learned the personality types in the past, and simplify the process with the facts I am about to share with you.  It will simplify your learning curve and give you a slight edge you never dreamed of.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;I learned that I had been made this way on purpose, and that I was OK just the way I am.&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;Everyone has unimaginable strengths as well as obvious weaknesses.  I have been frustrated by my weaknesses for years, wondering why one person could do this or that so well … yet it was such a struggle for me.  Even with all I knew about self esteem, the lack thereof, and so forth, I had real struggles in building my business the way my upline was asking me to.  After the realization of my own color traits, I realized that there would have been no way I could have done it that way … as I am a different color entirely.  I was not a closer, did not want to be a closer, yet the people I had worked with previously were very skilled at closing.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;Therefore, I learned a truth that has set me free …&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;My lack of success was not my fault!&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;I found an amazing mentor through my association with Mentoring for Free, a generic training and lead generation system, who knew all about me and I did not even have to tell her much.  She understood me, and she continues to encourage me to work on my strengths, embrace them, and know that there are others within the system who will support and help me with my weaker areas.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Has anyone every told you that?  i.e. that your lack of success was not your fault&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;?  No, on the contrary, we are told that only 3% of people will ever have success in MLM.  That doesn’t seem too fair to me, not when I have just as much intelligence, desire and a BIG WHY to get me there as well.  What I did not have, was all the facts as to what most successful people in MLM have …&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;They understand people and how to develop and maintain supportive relationships with people.  I am not referring to your email list here  …  but actual phone conversations and homework, self development, and mentoring.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2 style="text-align: left;"&gt;So …  what is your color?&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;I must refer you the &lt;a href="http://jenniferw.colortosuccess.com/?mad=28484"&gt;Success in 10 Steps &lt;/a&gt;and the Mentoring for Free system for all the answers, but below is a brief synopsis of what I have learned and put into use in understanding myself as well as others I am privileged to mentor.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;GREEN: &lt;/span&gt; This is someone who is rather serious by nature, likes facts and information, will not be sold without their homework, and sometimes have been accused of suffering from analysis paralysis.  The more information you can give a Green, the more comfortable they will feel in making a decision as to where they want to take their business.  They will also give you great information and will likely know many of the answers to your questions, but may think they have to&lt;i&gt; know it all&lt;/i&gt; before they can help someone.  I also liken them unto a bulldog … in that they absolutely do not quit once their mind is made up.  If the big win in MLM is what they are after, they will get there no matter what it takes, i.e. persistent men and women.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: left; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Greens make up 35% of the population.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt;YELLOW:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;  This is someone who generally cares more about the needs of others than themselves … by nature.  The rest of us seem to have to work on that.  They are a laid back sort many times in the nursing or other related fields.  A yellow is a good listener.  A Yellow can be overly sensitive and &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;may not tell you what they think in order keep from hurting your feelings.  In MLM, a Yellow is most concerned about their team and it’s success.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt;Yellows make up 35% of the population.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;BLUE:&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;This is someone whose mind is usually going 90 miles an hour, a very personalbe sort who loves being anywhere there is action.  Many successful sales people are Blues because of their love of people.  They are also the creative sort, the artists, the actors, the public speakers and politicians.  Their struggle seems to be staying focused on any one task.  A Blue will have bought every book available on a desired topic, but likely not finished one of them.  Easily distracted, but high energy and when in a creative mood, nothing can stop them.  A Blue has many an inspiration idea of great brilliance, but it is the Greens that help them put it into motion.  When it is not fun any longer, the Blue is tempted to move on to something else.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;Blues make up 15% of the population.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;RED: &lt;/span&gt;This is someone who is passionate about success, goal-oriented, and determined to go where they want to be.  Money is important, in fact it can be all about the money.  These are the CEO’s of large corporations.  Decisive, direct.  A Red can build big in MLM, but the relationship may be a struggle.  You may have to pick up the pieces.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Reds make up 15% of the population.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;“You are fine just the way You are”, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Michael Dlouhy&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;http://ddengler2.bigmlmsecrets.com/?mad=15872&lt;/span&gt;              &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-6932405187672281956?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/6932405187672281956/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=6932405187672281956' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/6932405187672281956'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/6932405187672281956'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2009/01/color-your-way-to-mlm-success.html' title='Color Your Way to MLM Success'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-7940116178850264168</id><published>2009-01-21T19:31:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-21T19:46:25.599-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='targeted prospects'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='employee mindset'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Michael Dlouhy'/><title type='text'>YOUR MLM PROSPECT HAS AN EMPLOYEE MINDSET</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;I saw a comment from a successful internet marketer this week that I think is very important to consistently remind yourself of.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Almost everybody we talk to about network marketing is an employee. They come from an employee mindset. Very few are actually business owners.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The employee mindset is:&lt;/strong&gt; “OK. I really want to be successful on my own. I don’t want to have a boss. I want to make more money. What do I do?”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The employee mindset is NOT:&lt;/strong&gt; “OK. I’m going to work this out for myself and come up with my own business plan.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And the point this guy was making is, the most important word when you are talking to a prospect is “system.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Let me repeat that. Heck, let me SCREAM that.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE MOST IMPORTANT WORD WHEN YOU ARE TALKING TO A PROSPECT IS:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SYSTEM SYSTEM SYSTEM SYSTEM SYSTEM SYSTEM SYSTEM SYSTEM!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You’ve got to give them a step-by-step system. They have to see a system that can work for them. You have to show them how it has worked for others, and you have to show them, step-by-step, exactly what they will do with it.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;But it’s more than just that. Your prospect not only has the opportunity to use a system that is tested and proven to work, but they also have the opportunity to talk to their prospects about that tested, proven system … which every prospect needs and wants. It’s really important. That is exactly what this guy is talking about.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You need to hammer prospects about the system. I mean, REALLY hammer them on this. Most prospects think, “Oh, this company has a great product. That’s what I need.” Or, “Oh, I’m personally sponsored by the heavy hitter. That’s what I need.” Or, “It’s been proven that this compensation plan pays out 80%, and over 90% of the people who use it are successful.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Most prospects need to use the &lt;a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/big.successin10steps.com/');" title="Success In 10 Steps" href="http://big.successin10steps.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Success In 10 Steps&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; ebook by Michael Dlouhy to have success, but some won’t.  Everybody knows that a new person needs a tested, proven system to start with. If you can find a better, tested proven system, fine. We’ve used this one for 4 years, and it constantly produces the targeted leads we want.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;That’s what those with the “employee mindset” need more than anything … good prospects to talk to. Just getting a few really targeted prospects a week can change their lives.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;System? Yes. Use it. And talk to your prospects about it. Believe me, they know they need it.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Richard Dennis&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Take the first step to your future by downloading the f*r*e*e  ebook:&lt;/p&gt;http://ddengler2.bigmlmsecrets.com/?mad=15872              &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-7940116178850264168?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/7940116178850264168/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=7940116178850264168' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/7940116178850264168'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/7940116178850264168'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2009/01/your-mlm-prospect-has-employee-mindset.html' title='YOUR MLM PROSPECT HAS AN EMPLOYEE MINDSET'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-7349261839939373263</id><published>2009-01-17T11:19:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-17T11:36:11.665-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='MLM Busioness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='researching the company before you join'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='&quot;measure twice and cut once&quot;'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Right Opportunity'/><title type='text'>Is This The Right Opportunity For Me?</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;I remember when I joined my first MLM. It was in the early year of 2006. I was looking for a new source of income for my wife and our new baby boy. I desperately needed the money and I had very little time to work another job. You see I was in the active duty Air Force for six years making very little money. With a new child and a stay at home wife I was hurting for some extra cash. Depression was kicking my butt.I went from doing surveys online, to eBay (where I was scammed out of $1200) and pretty much anything else I could get my hands on (not drugs). I even submitted an invention of mine that I came up with over the years which still ended up costing me more money. That's still in the works.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;As I was doing surveys I noticed an ad on one of the survey websites telling me that I could make a lot of money while putting in very little effort. Well needless to say this was right up my alley. Without hesitation I got the money together buy pawning some unused things of mine and scrounging for whatever change that I could find. I contacted the person on the ad and told them that I have the money and I am ready to join. Was I? I was so excited about making easy money that I jumped right into a company that I had no idea about and had not done any research on. I thought that I was going to be rich! Little did I know right?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;When I started talking to my sponsor about the company and making money I was constantly being told to buy the products and watch the training videos, buy the products and watch the training videos. Any of this sounds familiar? So I buy the products and I watch the videos and I buy the products... You get the point. Anyway, after doing this for about a month I started to receive something that I did not expect to receive in the beginning; a BIG FAT HEADACHE! I did not make a dime off of this company. There was no duplicatable method to be used, there was no real communication between my sponsor and I, and most importantly of all there was no MONEY! I wanted to scream, there I was trying to do something honest for me and my family and not a dime. All I had was some nasty powder, some beans, lotions and crap and a big empty account. It was the worst feeling that I had ever had. I thought to myself "YOU IDIOT", you just spent all of your money on a company that does not even show you a proper way of selling your product and now you have to go tell your loving wife that this selling thing is not working. I thank God to this day that she did not leave me. Needless to say after my year end subscription I did not even think about renewing my account.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I did not try another MLM for about 2 1/2 years later. Now I am back in the MLM business getting customers and I have not even been in the company for a month. How does this happen? I did my research on the company first of all. I analyzed everything, from the comp plan, to who founded the company and who endorses it. Most importantly of all, I found a mentor. If you do not find a mentor then you can forget it. Just go give your money to the homeless or something; at least they can use it more than some of these "opportunity" companies. Also do your research. Don't do what I did years back and dive right in head first. I guarantee that you will get frustrated in your first few months if not the first and that you will, WILL go broke.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;When I use to do carpentry work with my dad he would always tell me "measure twice and cut once". This saying easily applies to joining an MLM or any company. Research as much as you can on the company and be sure that the company is a good one then join. Many of these companies are set up to give us false hope and nothing more while there are legit companies out there that actually do what they say they will do. This is why researching the company before you join is so important. Here is some advice, be weary of companies that promote "make hundreds of thousands in one month" or "get 50,000 prospects in one month". If they say anything like this then ask that person to prove it. If they cannot then there you go. Other than that I have nothing more to say. I hope this little story and bit of information helps you in your next or current venture. I wish you the best of luck.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Your friend,&lt;br /&gt;Alfonzo Gasaway II&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For more information about the "Right Opportunity" down load the e-book: http://ddengler2.bigmlmsecrets.com/?mad=15872              &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-7349261839939373263?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/7349261839939373263/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=7349261839939373263' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/7349261839939373263'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/7349261839939373263'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2009/01/is-this-right-opportunity-for-me.html' title='Is This The Right Opportunity For Me?'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-2634978294037283890</id><published>2009-01-03T16:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-08T18:25:06.720-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Duplicable system'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='remarkable product'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Timing in the Industry'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Compensation Plan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Company management with integrity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='5 pillars for success'/><title type='text'>How to Find a Legitimate MLM Opportunity</title><content type='html'>&lt;small&gt;By curtisbennett1977&lt;/small&gt;          &lt;p&gt;5 Pillars for success! A lot of people now days are working from Home, but many more are just jumping from one program to another. What is the reason that some people really make money online and why others don’t?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Every time you search in Google “How to make money online”, How to work from home”, “Home based business opportunity”, “MLM business”, you get millions of websites showing you the best opportunity they have, but the reality is that we are only getting too much hype and lies from the majority of these opportunities.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I don’t blame these people because I was one of them…&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;For the past 8 years I’ve joined many opportunities for the same reason of all of you, and that is to “make money online” and to have”financial freedom”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I did everything my sponsors told me to do: I made a list of my friends and families, I create flyers, I spend a lot of money in PPC advertising, I bought thousands of business cards, I went to parking lots to put my cards in the windshield of the cars, I did business parties in my house, I went to business meetings, i bought magnetic signs for my car, and the list goes on and on….&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Now I know that my lack of success was not my fault…instead, it was lack of education. No body showed me how to analyze a company before spend my time and money on them.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Finally I found an ebook called “Success in 10 Steps” by Michael Dlouhy, and this ebook showed me the real truth about network marketing business. In this ebook Michael talks about the 5 pillars for success and I want to share it with you.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Before you spend your valuable time and hard earned money I want you to follow this simple step to success, and that is to find a Company that has these 5 pillars:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;1. Company management experience with integrity. Now you will say how do I know when a company has experience with integrity?….well all you have to do is go to Google and do a research in the company’s name and the owner &amp;amp; president’s name. In this first pillar you also need to request the policies &amp;amp; procedures of the company. You will be surprise to know that the majority of these companies states in their policies: “At its sole discretion, XXX Company may terminate a distributor for any reason upon 30 days prior written notice”.That’s how you know if they have integrity. Do you think is fair to have policies like this?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;2. Timing in the Industry. A lot of companies brag about their Huge ground floor opportunity, but the reality is that the majority of these so called opportunities don’t last 2 years, so focus only in companies that already past the 2-3 years mark, as a matter of fact a good opportunity will be more strong after 2 years any way.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;3. Remarkable Product that people buy and consume in a regular basis. I can say that this pillar is easy to find because a lot of companies have good products. Be advice that when we talk about product we are talking about real, tangible, consumable products, not downloadable intangible products.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;4. Compensation Plan that pays the part time members. This is one of the most important parts in the 5 pillars. You have to have a pay plan that pays the average guy and not only the heavy hitters. The way to figure this out is easy, just decide how much money do you want to earn in your new business, let’s say $10,000 per month in residual income….now ask the person who’s presenting you the opportunity that tells you how many people in your team do you need to earn this income? If they don’t know that’s proof that you know more than they do, they always going to say only 2, or 5 but they don’t tell you that those 2-5 are going to do the same, so at the end of the process you find out that you really need over 1000, 2500 or even 10,000 members to earn your desired income. I can tell you the best compensation plan is that one that pays the most money with the least people, so find a company that only requires 300-400 members in your Team to earn that money.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;5. Duplicable system in place. The last pillar for success is that you need to have a duplicable system that the average member can do it….remember people are not duplicable, systems are!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;For your own copy of the book "Success in 10 Steps" by Michael Dlouhy, go to the link below:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;http://ddengler2.bigmlmsecrets.com/?mad=15872&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-2634978294037283890?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/2634978294037283890/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=2634978294037283890' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/2634978294037283890'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/2634978294037283890'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2009/01/how-to-find-legitimate-mlm-opportunity.html' title='How to Find a Legitimate MLM Opportunity'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-1617401372344587120</id><published>2008-12-02T13:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-02T13:00:00.918-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='successful mentors'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='highly effective mentors'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='developing a relationship'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mentoring'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='providing support'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='acknowledging reciprocity'/><title type='text'>A True Mentor With a Servant's Heart</title><content type='html'>Throughout history the passing on of wisdom and practical&lt;br /&gt;knowledge has been done by mentoring from parents, grand&lt;br /&gt;parents, teachers, leaders, coaches, coworkers and friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The word goes back to Homer's Odyssey a&lt;br /&gt;story which tells how before leaving on his long journey,&lt;br /&gt;Odysseus asked a close friend to watch over and guide&lt;br /&gt;his son. That friend's name was Mentor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some observations from the book by Marc Freedman,&lt;br /&gt;"The kindness of strangers":&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 7 habits of highly effective mentors&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt; 1. Listening:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is the only way mentors can understand what people&lt;br /&gt;are up against and where opportunities for developing&lt;br /&gt;the relationship can be discovered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt; 2. Building a relationship:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the hurry to make a difference, mentors can forget to&lt;br /&gt;take time to build a relationship and establish a firm&lt;br /&gt;connection. this means carefully cultivating trust..It&lt;br /&gt;means being patient. Many people will test mentors&lt;br /&gt;to see if they are for real.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt; 3. Respecting boundaries:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When mentors ask people personal questions before&lt;br /&gt;a solid relationship  has been established, the most&lt;br /&gt;common response is silence. People will clam up.&lt;br /&gt;Mentors who do not respect their mentees' needs&lt;br /&gt;for privacy  are often quick to alienate them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt; 4. Being sensitive to differences:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is necessary to realize that mentors and those&lt;br /&gt;they work with come from different worlds, a reality&lt;br /&gt;even for mentors who have grown up disadvantaged.&lt;br /&gt;This means being aware of the embarrassment a&lt;br /&gt;person might feel about being poor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt; 5. Providing support and challenges:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Successful mentors are consistently there for people,&lt;br /&gt;delivering a sustained message 'You are important"&lt;br /&gt;when problems arise, effective mentors resist telling&lt;br /&gt;people what to do and instead work with them to&lt;br /&gt;address the problems. These mentors are eventually&lt;br /&gt;able to strike a balance between supporting and&lt;br /&gt;challenging both nurturing people and pushing them&lt;br /&gt;toward their goals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt; 6. Acknowledging reciprocity:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While mentors often have  to provide the initiative&lt;br /&gt;early in the relationship as trust  is being established,&lt;br /&gt;mentoring is a two-way street. Growth, benefits and&lt;br /&gt;struggles are present on both sides, and mentors&lt;br /&gt;who are able to convey  they are there for  mutual&lt;br /&gt;exchange, not just solve problems stand the greatest&lt;br /&gt;chance of making  a solid connection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt; 7. Being realistic:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Few mentors turn lives around, but mentors who help&lt;br /&gt;people move toward achievable goals can make a real&lt;br /&gt;contribution. Often this means having thick skin,&lt;br /&gt;tolerating unreturned phone calls, accepting the&lt;br /&gt;cultural gaps that must be bridged. In the end, few&lt;br /&gt;virtues in mentoring rival on growing commitment and&lt;br /&gt;genuine caring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taken from an email from Ernie Hines to Michael Dlouhy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your first step to success starts with downloading this ebook&lt;br /&gt; "Success in 10 Steps" by Michael Dlouhy:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://ddengler2.bigmlmsecrets.com/?mad=15872&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-1617401372344587120?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/1617401372344587120/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=1617401372344587120' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/1617401372344587120'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/1617401372344587120'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2008/12/true-mentor-with-servants-heart.html' title='A True Mentor With a Servant&apos;s Heart'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-3449601742496696407</id><published>2008-11-18T18:17:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-18T18:39:20.281-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tom &quot;Big Al&quot; Schreiter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Michael Dlouhy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Freedom Tour'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='finding a business with all 5 pillars'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='network marketing is the key to harmony'/><title type='text'>From the Road with Bob &amp; Anna Bassett</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;                           &lt;table border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" width="100%"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="68%"&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Toronto Freedom Tour was a huge success!&lt;br /&gt;         &lt;br /&gt;           We had a 60% 'show up rate', with 67 guests attending,              some of them driving as long as three hours and carpooling              to get there!

The opportunity for guests and distributors to be              able to sit at lunch or dinner and just talk with Michael and              Tom was priceless!             &lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.vitamark.com/about/images/email/email_freedomtourheader_BB_pic1.jpg" alt="" height="188" width="421" /&gt;&lt;span&gt; Michael Dlouhy speaking in Toronto&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;Thanks to Michael and Tom and all the Ontario organizers -              Judi Sheehan, Gary and Kim Cassidy, Yvonne Jones, Anne Jones, Terry Smith, Robin Willson, Bob and Anna Bassett.&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;Michael and Tom were brilliant as usual. Michael got lots              of laughs playing mindreader with the colors, and then a              few frowns and jawdrops when he read excerpts from             various companies' Policies and Procedures.&lt;br /&gt;         &lt;br /&gt;           You could see people crossing their fingers hoping they             had not signed anything as bad as that!&lt;br /&gt;         &lt;br /&gt;           Everyone really appreciated the insights into the Five Pillars             from Michael - important stuff we never thought of before.              We have a friend who has been in every opportunity going             for the past thirty years. She told us she wishes she had heard these warnings years ago!&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.vitamark.com/about/images/email/email_freedomtourheader_BB_pic3.jpg" alt="" height="220" width="337" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;           &lt;span&gt;Tom "Big Al" Schreiter speaking in Toronto&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt; After the break, Tom demonstrated how to "unscrew the             the tops of their heads and go directly to the subconscious."              He must have done a good job of it, as most people are             planning to return to see him again here on November 27.&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;Many guests have been calling and emailing us this week,             wanting to know how to get more training like this and more              information about our company!&lt;br /&gt;         &lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;This is a great business and Toronto is a wonderful place to be working it! Our guests originally came from Argentina, Israel, Uruguay, Russia, China, Trinidad, Iran, Jamaica, Poland, England, Scotland, France, Holland, United States, Ireland, Germany, Phillipines, Japan, India, Pakistan, Italy, Hungary, Portugal, etc., etc. United Nations at the Holiday Inn! &lt;/p&gt;           &lt;table align="right" border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0"&gt;             &lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;               &lt;td&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.vitamark.com/about/images/email/email_freedomtourheader_BB_pic2.jpg" alt="" height="193" width="194" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                     &lt;span&gt;Anna Bassett  with Michael Dlouhy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;             &lt;/tr&gt;           &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;           &lt;p&gt;Just imagine having someone join you and take it back to a homeland where we are open. Toronto is the gateway to the world, and network marketing is the key to harmony, freedom and peace.&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;Thanks a million, Michael and Tom! And thanks to all the hardworking Ontario reps who helped put this together and run smoothly. This tour has brought out the best in everyone!&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;p&gt;Bob &amp;amp; Anna Bassett&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Awesome Meeting Bob &amp;amp; Anna!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Makes me want to go every week.

It was a real pleasure.              I can only say it was so great - a real eye opener. Last night              I was so energized that I went on the two websites right away.              I love the idea of sentences that create new hot prospects and              the 30 Day Cleanse to make my business more successful.              This morning I listened to the two CD's. I cannot believe how              good they are! Thank you very much for your kind help.

He is asking a very important question to start out the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;interactive &lt;/span&gt;evening:  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What are your two biggest struggles in your business?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He writes down the answers and gives solutions to every problem throughout the evening.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The four personality colors are:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  1.    &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Yellow&lt;/span&gt;  (phlegmatic) open &amp;amp; indirect - 35% of the population&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  2.    &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Blue   &lt;/span&gt;  (sanguine)     open &amp;amp; direct   -   15% of the population&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  3.   &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Green &lt;/span&gt; (melancholy) self-contained &amp;amp; indirect - 35% of the population&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  4.    &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Red   &lt;/span&gt;   (caloric)          self-contained &amp;amp; direct   -  15% of the population&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Michael proceeds to further explain the colors by telling several of the attendees what color personality they are &amp;amp; telling them some of their likes &amp;amp; dislikes.   He is amazingly accurate!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;       Do you know what color you are?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Michael also covers the importance of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;finding a business with all 5 pillars&lt;/span&gt;.  When a company has four pillars and is missing even one pillar, it cannot be truly successful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Let me put it this way:  Could you drive your car with one engine and only three tires?

Then have your check&lt;br /&gt;coming in month after month after month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;          People get some screwy ideas about products when&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;they decide to do an MLM business. I guess the one you hear&lt;br /&gt;most often is, "I can't sell any product unless I love it!"&lt;br /&gt;First thing you really need in order to sell a product unless&lt;br /&gt;there is a market who want it. And for a professional, that is&lt;br /&gt;always their number one consideration. If you're going to be&lt;br /&gt;successful long-term in MLM, you need to provide one or more&lt;br /&gt;products that people really want, and which are consumable,&lt;br /&gt;so they get ordered over and over and over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;          It's incredible to me that some businesses which call&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;themselves network marketing, actually sell products which&lt;br /&gt;offer no month after month recurring income. What they really&lt;br /&gt;have is a one-time sale. The biggest reason to do network&lt;br /&gt;marketing is that as you build, your income is cumulative each&lt;br /&gt;month. That's what they call residual income.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;          Most people do not really understand the difference until&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;they actually build residual income and then they take off for 2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;months to go to the Galapagos Islands or something and when&lt;br /&gt;they come back, they have 2 checks waiting for them, and the&lt;br /&gt;2nd check is bigger than the first. THEN they really get an idea&lt;br /&gt;of recurring income, and it's pretty exciting and pretty&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;life-changing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;          The people who will build your business and network&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;marketing income are the people with big dreams. If you can&lt;br /&gt;show them a step-by-step plan to achieve what they want in&lt;br /&gt;life, and if they believe that it's something they can do and&lt;br /&gt;that you can help them, you will get a steady stream of people&lt;br /&gt;in your business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;          About the only thing that can sabotage your business at&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;that point is ... greed and ego. It's crucial long-term that you&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;build a good relationship with your people, and vice versa. That&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;relationship can be easily destroyed by displays of greed or ego&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;or both.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;          The income is certainly important to everybody. You can&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;create terrific income in MLM when you get a lot of people each&lt;br /&gt;doing a little bit of work daily and consistently. Everybody in this&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;business wants to increase their income, and they want&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;recognition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;          You will be much closer to reaching your own income goals&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;and income stability by focusing on helping the others in your&lt;br /&gt;group achieve their own dreams. Be on the lookout for greed&lt;br /&gt;and ego so you can stop them before they ever start to develop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;          A lot of people frustrated with a lack of MLM success have&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;found these ideas very useful. One very popular solution to MLM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;frustration is the ebook "Success In 10 Steps" by Michael&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Dlouhy. The author covers some of the biggest problems people&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;have in trying to start their own successful business, and how&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;to solve those problems. Back in the early 1990s, Dlouhy joined&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;over 100 MLMs and studied &amp;amp; cataloged all their rep packs and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;recruiting tactics and compensation plans and training, along&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;with his own results. He talked to a lot of different people&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;from a lot of different companies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;          In "Success In 10 Steps", you'll learn all the common&lt;br /&gt;MLM knowledge that is completely unworkable. Plus, you&lt;br /&gt;find out exactly what does work. You'll find it very useful in&lt;br /&gt;building an easy residual income business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;             You can get a free copy of the classic ebook,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;"SuccessIn10Steps", at &lt;a href="http://melanie.bigmlmsecrets.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://melanie.bigmlmsecrets.&lt;wbr&gt;com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About the author:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Information Services Professional; Public Speaker; Associate&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;with MentoringForFree; Health Educator - 27 years experience&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blog: &lt;a href="http://melanie-writeon.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://melanie-writeon.&lt;wbr&gt;blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align="center" valign="top" width="1%"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-3633318116243021002?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/3633318116243021002/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=3633318116243021002' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/3633318116243021002'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/3633318116243021002'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2008/10/easy-residual-income-business-build-it.html' title='Easy Residual Income Business - Build It Once And Build It Big   by Melanie Kissell'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-2176599012714397668</id><published>2008-09-27T15:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-27T16:22:17.335-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='factors for career success'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='business and personal coach'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='time and money freedom'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='increasing your income'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='successful entrepreneur'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='improving communication'/><title type='text'>Freedom Tour 2008-09</title><content type='html'>&lt;h2 class="intro_title"&gt;What is the Freedom Tour 2008-09 All About?&lt;/h2&gt;           &lt;img src="http://static.squidoo.com/resize/squidoo_images/-1/lens2197465_1222550095Tom__Michael1.jpg" class="lensPhoto" alt=" " /&gt;           &lt;p class="introLg"&gt;My personal friend and mentor Michael Dlouhy, who by the way was personally mentored by Tom 'Big Al' Schreiter, will be doing a LIVE seminar in 40-42 different cities!&lt;br /&gt;Jacksonville, Florida is the kick-off location!&lt;br /&gt;What can it do for you?&lt;br /&gt;Well, have you ever wondered why one person gets "it" and another looks at you like you are talking some crazy language?

We all supported the drawing by  purchasing coaching tickets and visualizing ourselves (or the person we felt deserved the car) winning and driving the mustang home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was one particular person who had a visualization story so detailed and real sounding that I knew she was going to win the car.  (At least I thought she would win the car.)   She had her story filled with little details, like what she would be wearing, who would be standing next to her when her name was called, what the weather would be like, etc.  (By the way, I was standing next to her when her name was called and I got a video clip on my cell phone of her running and jumping into the arms of our team leader.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is an awesome feeling when you see someone get the good that they deserve, and to know that you helped, even in a small way, to make it happen.  You see, she is part of a group of mentors that help other people learn the skills they need to be successful in any network marketing business.   She does this for F*R*E*E.  She is helping me to become a leader.  We can help  you become a leader, too.  Your first step to owning your own life is to download this f*r*e*e  e-book,&lt;br /&gt;             &lt;br /&gt;http://ddengler2.bigmlmsecrets.com/?mad=15872&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friend, that won the mustang, took her time driving around the country on her way home, visiting other people that helped her win the car.   Now she is home, but she was building her business the whole trip back.  That is definitely one trait of a leader, to persevere!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I learned a lot at the business convention.  I also met people in just a couple of days that have become my friends for life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before the convention started, when I got on the motel shuttle from the airport, I met a couple  that I got to know well at the convention.  They made me feel important to them by saving me a seat at the table beside them.  They would watch for me when I came into the meeting room and let me know that they had a seat saved for me.  We are close in age, both have grandchildren, and we both want to help others.  I felt like I'd known them all my life.  Many lifelong friendships were made during those few days. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another young couple that I met have kept in contact with me since the convention and are encouraging me and helping me to be successful by answering my questions, and giving me suggestions.  As busy as they are, they have time for each one that has questions or needs help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were people from Sweden, Norway, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, USA, and more countries from around the world.  I met people who had been in network marketing for years and some that just joined recently.  The people who were making loads of money were no different than you and me.  One very successful man said, "I put my pants on the same way everyone else does, one leg at a time."  They were all very willing to share their knowledge with all of us.   All of them started in the network business at the same beginning level like we did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are people who want to help others like I do.  We are a team of mentors.  We are a BIG family of mentors with a servant's heart who want to give back to others from what we have been given.  We are not any luckier than you.  You can have success too!  the first step is to download the f*ree  e-book, then take action and we will help you all the way.  Please contact me with any questions.  My contact information is attached to the e-book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;              http://ddengler2.bigmlmsecrets.com/?mad=15872&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To your success!

What was happening next?  How would I remember everything I was learning?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These questions were going through my head as our team headed a dinner together on the second night of my first convention.   I was trying to remember names and faces, as well as where they were from.  There were people from all over the USA and Canada, as well as Norway, United Kingdom, and Sweden, to name a few.  All four types of personalities were evident, too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our group this evening was a smaller group of about 17 people who belonged to a team of 'leaders in-the-making'.  One man in the group had made reservations for us at a Mexican restaurant and lead the way, walking about four or five blocks from the motel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While we were waiting for our food, a crisp $100 bill was awarded to a young couple who had accomplished a requirement for that award, and we presented out team leader with a plaque of recognition for her leadership.  Many pictures were taken and we all talked about business and life in general.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That evening I found out what happened to my roommate.  She had been on her way to the airport to come to convention, when she blacked out with a stroke (TIA).  Her husband took her&lt;br /&gt;to the hospital for treatment, instead.   I can't imagine how disappointed she was.  We had all been looking forward to this event for a year.  (She has a 'yellow' personality.  She cares very much for other people.  She was a nurse.)  She had left a message on a team member's cell phone, but since she had just started using the phone, she hadn't  figured out how to get messages from the phone, yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O.K.  Now what was I to do?  I admit I was thinking only of myself when I thought about the credit card bill with 4 nights of an expensive motel on it.  (Even with the special rate it was expensive for me, a 'common Jane')  When I had expected to share the bill with one or maybe more people, I was not sure what to do, now.   I guess my 'yellow' personality was worrying about the cost of convention and not letting me enjoy and learn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have heard from the top to "Ask for Help".  So I asked a couple of my team members if they had any ideas of what I could do.  They said not to worry about it, it would be alright.  They would mention it to our team leader.   I imagined someone paying for my motel stay and how that would show how caring and selfless this group of people are.  I could tell all about what a awesome team I have and the world would be a wonderful place...  O.K.  I got a bit carried away there!  They are an awesome team, but that is not what happened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next morning, after pleading on my knees, I had the thought of asking someone that was staying alone in a room, if they wanted to room with me.   Since I was on the same floor as the Presidential Suite, where we got together every night for pizza and brainstorming until the wee hours of the morning, that would save us both money and her the time of going back to a room on a different floor of the motel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had two people in mind to ask to room with me.  When I got off the elevator, a few minutes later, I saw one of the people I had thought of.  Upon telling her my situation, and asking her  if she would be willing to share a room with me, she asked if I had talked to the front desk about it.  I had not, yet, as I was waiting until I found someone willing to make the change.  She said she snored, I said I have earplugs, besides, sometimes I talk in my sleep.  She might have a friend coming in to stay too, not a problem.  'The more the merrier.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, this lady is a leader, because she took the bull by the horns and made the arrangements before lunch.  (She was also a 'blue' personality, very outgoing and loves to have fun.)  The front desk said that she just needed to be out of her room by 2:00p.m.  I went across the street to get us some lunch from the mall's food court, and she went to pack up her stuff to move.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I brought the food back and waited for her in the room.  After awhile, I was beginning to think she forgot what the room number was (also a 'blue' personality trait).  Sure enough, when she did arrive at the room, she told me that she had to ask our team leader what room number I was staying in.  (Our team leader has a 'green' personality.  She remembered details, even though I only told her once.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We shared the room for the last two days of convention, and even shared the same name (first name only).  We got to know a bit about each other and sharing the room helped us both.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is interesting to figure out what personality each person is and it helps you to understand them and how they think.  I have mentioned three of the four 'colors' of personality.  The last color is 'red'.  (They need to be in control.)

It was awesome!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bought my reservation with an early discount.   So that I wouldn't back out from going to the convention, I bought my plane ticket early, too.  I asked within my team for a motel roommate and booked a room with two beds before I could change my mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Months passed and my business was slow to take off.   I was working on personal growth and learning all I could from the leaders on my team.  In the business that I am in, you can ask for help from anyone else in the business.  Your up-line, side-line, even the president of the company will encourage you to believe in yourself.   People who have the freedom to own their own lives are within this business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the time came for the convention, I was a little nervous, wondering how I would be accepted without a big down-line,  only a few clients.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I needn't have worried.  I got off the airplane onto the motel shuttle to find that it was full of people going to the same convention that I was going to.  We shared names, where we were from, and how long we had been in this business.  Instead of feeling all alone, I was part of this group.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we got to the motel, I started looking for my roommate.  She was not checked in yet, so I called one of my team.  No one had seen her or heard from her yet, so I got settled in the room before going to the team leaders room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I walked up to the door of the presidential suite I noticed that it was propped open slightly so that anyone could go in.  I heard laughter and talking inside, but was unsure if I should enter.  As I was standing outside the door, actually starting to walk away, someone opened the door and came out.  It was someone that I knew by phone but had never met personally before.  She called me by name and ran to give me a big hug.  Then, she opened up the door to introduce me to the team leader.    I was instantly welcomed and accepted into the group.   I felt like I belonged.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went down to the lobby to watch for my roommate, and several people came up to me and started talking.  Everyone was introducing themselves, putting faces to names that they had heard by phone on the free training calls, giving hugs and exclaiming how glad they were to see everyone.   More people kept coming and the family kept growing.  Soon the lobby was very busy with people from all over the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A special dinner was provided the first evening for those at a certain level in the business.  People were dressing up in formal wear and getting ready ride to that event in hummer limousines.  Since there were some of us who were not at that level, we banded together and planned to eat together at a nearby restaurant.  After we took pictures of our friends getting into the limos and riding off,  we walked to a Japanese restaurant down the street.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We went around the group getting to know names and personalities and taking pictures while waiting for our food.  We had a great time, but all agreed that we were going to be in the limos next year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My roommate still had not checked in when we got back to the motel.  I thought maybe I had mistaken the date of her arrival.  No, I was informed that she had been planning to attend the limousine dinner.  Still, no one was able to reach her by phone.  Something was not right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next morning more people arrived, but my roommate was not one of them.    I went to the table to get my ID badge and schedule.  I found out that I had a ribbon of recognition on my name tag.  That made me feel good about myself.  Even though I was not as far as others, I still was very important in  this business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the events started to accumulate and the training commenced, I began to realize that this business is more than everything that was promised.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   A 5 Pillars Company:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.  Management with Experience and Integrity&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.  Timing within the Company, Nationally &amp;amp; Globally&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.  Remarkable Products that people need&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.  Compensation Plan that rewards top performers &amp;amp; the part-time people&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.

You can give material things, or your time, or your expertise. Doing so puts you in the right frame of mind to talk to other people about your MLM opportunity. You know you are acting in their best interest, and that is a real key.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I have driven to New York twice, to help team members when they were ready to move - one to Florida, the other to Kentucky. My son Matthew went with me and helped. I think you, as the leader of your group, need to be Example #1 of bonding and relationship-building. For your people to work well together and to really perform and prosper as a team, they need that example. When they see you walking the talk, how can they do any less?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Not too long ago, I drove 500 miles round-trip to cut down a tree for one of my team. The tree was dead, it was threatening their home, and I’ve cut down a lot of trees in my life. Linda and Matthew came with me. We made a day of it, cutting down the big old hickory tree and cutting it into pieces and hauling it all to their burn pile. We all felt great on that 250 mile ride back home. Do you think an act of kindness like that will create a long-lasting effect? I believe it does. A single act like that can set in motion a series of acts of kindness. Isn’t that a great legacy to give your team?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The lesson is simple: just look for opportunities to help.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Then do so eagerly, with no expectation of return.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;But trust me, you will get the return. Immediately, your life is filled with strong positive feelings and content. Who knows what future cycles of kindness you may have started? And last, but certainly not least - you have strengthened your network marketing relationships.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;That’s definitely not a bad thing.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Your friends for life,&lt;/p&gt; Michael &amp;amp; Linda Dlouhy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;              http://ddengler2.bigmlmsecrets.com/?mad=15872&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Create your Future, Believe in your Dreams&lt;br /&gt;Debbie &amp;amp; Dennis Engler&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-4883915241723435899?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/4883915241723435899/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=4883915241723435899' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/4883915241723435899'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/4883915241723435899'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2008/05/mlm-team-building.html' title='MLM Team-Building'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-2923090528554980894</id><published>2008-05-10T11:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-10T11:38:41.312-07:00</updated><title type='text'>MLM Relationships - Look Beyond Behavior</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="post-author"&gt;By Michael Dlouhy&lt;/div&gt;      &lt;!-- The article content --&gt;     &lt;p&gt;People don’t always do the right thing. And 98% of these “wrong things” fall in the category of “small stuff.” So when somebody screws up, take a moment to put it in perspective. A year from now, will you even remember it? Bottom line: don’t invest your time and your emotion in something that is trivial.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The logical extension of this thought is, whenever someone does some act that you don’t approve, train yourself to think of them with kindness. If you consider the situation to be truly serious, then advise them how you would handle it. And then let it go.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nothing is - or needs to be - perfect. “Letting it go” is your best choice because you ultimately have no control over what any of your network marketing partners does.&lt;/strong&gt; And, believe it or not, there’s always a fair chance you’ll learn something new and useful from how someone else handles a situation.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;So observe, and try to understand why. And then either learn or let it go or both. Your MLM relationships always involve other people. You can count on regular annoyances. Long-term, they are meaningless … so don’t let it have any effect on your own productivity.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Your friends for life,&lt;/p&gt; Michael &amp;amp; Linda Dlouhy&lt;br /&gt;“Be a mentor with a servant’s heart!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;               http://ddengler2.bigmlmsecrets.com/?mad=15872&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Create your Future, Believe in your Dreams&lt;br /&gt;Debbie &amp;amp; Dennis Engler&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-2923090528554980894?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/2923090528554980894/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=2923090528554980894' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/2923090528554980894'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/2923090528554980894'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2008/05/mlm-relationships-look-beyond-behavior.html' title='MLM Relationships - Look Beyond Behavior'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-7789242132604127068</id><published>2008-05-10T11:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-10T11:36:16.827-07:00</updated><title type='text'>MLM Relationships - See the Innocence</title><content type='html'>&lt;h2 class="post-title"&gt;By Michael Dlouhy&lt;/h2&gt;      &lt;!-- Print the time the article was posted --&gt;     &lt;!-- &lt;div class="post-time"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; --&gt;     &lt;h2 class="post-title"&gt;One thing network marketers do is … we wonder why other people do the things they do.

They … look at us … and think exactly the same thing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since they are so set in their crazy ways, maybe the smartest thing for us to do is to be a bit less bothered by their nuttiness. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;One way to do this is to look beyond their behavior and into their soul. The vast majority of associates and prospects and family members aren’t being devious. They are just doing what they believe in. If you can look at the other person and see the innocence behind their behavior, then you can have compassion for them.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;One area where others seem to often “go too far” is in their idea of how quickly we should be doing some pretty weird (probably unproductive) action, to help them in their MLM business. To them, it’s urgent. You, on the other hand, have 27 things on your list more urgent and more likely to produce good results. So just think of the frustration you feel when a project is urgent to you and you have to depend on someone else for the next step. That may make it easier to “feel their pain” and not be so bothered by their behavior.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We appreciate you!&lt;/p&gt; Michael &amp;amp; Linda Dlouhy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Create your future, Believe in your Dreams&lt;br /&gt;Debbie &amp;amp; Dennis Engler&lt;br /&gt;               http://ddengler2.bigmlmsecrets.com/?mad=15872&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-7789242132604127068?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/7789242132604127068/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=7789242132604127068' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/7789242132604127068'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/7789242132604127068'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2008/05/mlm-relationships-see-innocence.html' title='MLM Relationships - See the Innocence'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-5249708123107280963</id><published>2008-04-05T12:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-10T11:22:47.394-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Which Way is Your Mind Going?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;You are either growing better at what you are doing or losing more than what you have.    You are never standing still.  Take responsibility for where you are, do not blame anyone else.  Are you on an upward curve or a downward curve in your life?    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lifetime can be wasted by the way you THINK about yourself.   A true mental cleanse is worth more than physical exam.  We need to cleanse our minds of chatter that does not empower us.  Everyone needs that self-confidence that comes from within yourself.  You have the resources, you just have draw them out and use them.  You do not need the negative! Believe in yourself!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have ever read a self-improvement book, you will possibly understand why it is so important.  If you have not read any self-help books, let me suggest several to start with.  Contact me or download the e-book link below for "Success in Ten Steps" by Michael Dlouhy.   We are here to change people's lives with the Mental Cleanse &amp;amp; Mentoring for Free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;                http://ddengler2.bigmlmsecrets.com/?mad=15872&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;We are emotionally effected by what people say and how they respond to us.  We can hurt someone deeply with our words or actions, but within your own mind, what you think, what you believe, affects you more than what others say or do.  It affects you for good or it affects you negatively.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;When you do not feel good about yourself it makes you want to hide, not face the world or even a friend.  How will you end up if you continue with that mindset?  Cleansing your mind from the negative influences will clean your mind like water cleanses the body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;                http://ddengler2.bigmlmsecrets.com/?mad=15872&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Believe in your dreams, Create your future&lt;br /&gt;Debbie Engler&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ready, Fire, Aim  =  Learn to adjust from you're mistakes!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7240693014707587102-5249708123107280963?l=ddengler2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/feeds/5249708123107280963/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7240693014707587102&amp;postID=5249708123107280963' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/5249708123107280963'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7240693014707587102/posts/default/5249708123107280963'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ddengler2.blogspot.com/2008/04/which-way-is-your-mind-going.html' title='Which Way is Your Mind Going?'/><author><name>Debbie Engler</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10203239711252434710</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2PV4oMLsPNA/S422mrC1Y-I/AAAAAAAAABQ/uU87ocOMm4I/S220/document+pictures+004.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240693014707587102.post-8685162381750292368</id><published>2008-03-29T09:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-31T19:09:02.098-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Cool, Clear Water</title><content type='html'>A support system in the network marketing business is like a fresh cool drink of clear water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When your mouth is parched by a lack of prospects for your business, you need a drink of cool, clear water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When your tongue is stuck to the roof of your mouth because you do not have all the answers, you need a drink of cool, clear water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you cannot lick your lips for lack of training in your business, you need a drink of cool, clear water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A call from a friend can encourage you in life.
