Throughout history the passing on of wisdom and practical
knowledge has been done by mentoring from parents, grand
parents, teachers, leaders, coaches, coworkers and friends.
The word goes back to Homer's Odyssey a
story which tells how before leaving on his long journey,
Odysseus asked a close friend to watch over and guide
his son. That friend's name was Mentor.
Some observations from the book by Marc Freedman,
"The kindness of strangers":
The 7 habits of highly effective mentors
1. Listening:
It is the only way mentors can understand what people
are up against and where opportunities for developing
the relationship can be discovered.
2. Building a relationship:
In the hurry to make a difference, mentors can forget to
take time to build a relationship and establish a firm
connection. this means carefully cultivating trust..It
means being patient. Many people will test mentors
to see if they are for real.
3. Respecting boundaries:
When mentors ask people personal questions before
a solid relationship has been established, the most
common response is silence. People will clam up.
Mentors who do not respect their mentees' needs
for privacy are often quick to alienate them.
4. Being sensitive to differences:
It is necessary to realize that mentors and those
they work with come from different worlds, a reality
even for mentors who have grown up disadvantaged.
This means being aware of the embarrassment a
person might feel about being poor.
5. Providing support and challenges:
Successful mentors are consistently there for people,
delivering a sustained message 'You are important"
when problems arise, effective mentors resist telling
people what to do and instead work with them to
address the problems. These mentors are eventually
able to strike a balance between supporting and
challenging both nurturing people and pushing them
toward their goals.
6. Acknowledging reciprocity:
While mentors often have to provide the initiative
early in the relationship as trust is being established,
mentoring is a two-way street. Growth, benefits and
struggles are present on both sides, and mentors
who are able to convey they are there for mutual
exchange, not just solve problems stand the greatest
chance of making a solid connection.
7. Being realistic:
Few mentors turn lives around, but mentors who help
people move toward achievable goals can make a real
contribution. Often this means having thick skin,
tolerating unreturned phone calls, accepting the
cultural gaps that must be bridged. In the end, few
virtues in mentoring rival on growing commitment and
genuine caring.

From the Road with Bob & Anna Bassett
The Toronto Freedom Tour was a huge success! Sixty guests stayed for the second half - a 90% retention rate! Well done, Michael and Tom! Almost half came early for lunch, and several stayed for dinner too. The opportunity for guests and distributors to be able to sit at lunch or dinner and just talk with Michael and Tom was priceless!
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. 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.
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. 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! 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!
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. 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! Bob & Anna Bassett Awesome Meeting Bob & Anna! Makes me want to go every week. Michael is so awesome, too!YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY! REGISTER TODAY Debbie Engler is inviting you! YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU DID! http://ddengler2.bigmlmsecrets.com/?mad=15872 Upcoming Tour Cities Nashville, TN - November 18
| Our thoughts are best expressed in the emails and calls we have received from our guests: “Great presentation. Lots of fun. Good overview of the personality types." -Kimberly "Thank you again for inviting me. 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. Have a wonderful week." - Aurora “Well conducted and very informative.†- Nico "Thank you for the invitation to the excellent presentation on Sunday. We learned a lot and appreciate the work you are doing for the industry. We grew quite a few brain cells and it has been a pleasure meeting you and so many brilliant people! Thanks again and we'll be in contact. God bless and enjoy every moment of the journey." - Carlton and Eileen “Knowledgeable speakers. I learned a lot about MLM. Excellent!†- Phyllis "Wow! This is the best training we've ever received. Our company never told us about the different ways we could talk to different prospects!" - Suzanne “I have never attended a presentation so unique and sincere. I enjoyed the whole session, especially the Q&A. I would strongly advise others to join this group to improve their lives and relationships, both business and personal.

WHAT THE FREEDOM TOUR MEANS TO ME
Personality Colors & 5 Pillars Training is what Michael Dlouhy is bringing to each and every city on the Freedom Tour 0809 schedule. He is asking a very important question to start out the interactive evening:
"What are your two biggest struggles in your business?"
He writes down the answers and gives solutions to every problem throughout the evening.
The four personality colors are:
1. Yellow (phlegmatic) open & indirect - 35% of the population
2. Blue (sanguine) open & direct - 15% of the population
3. Green (melancholy) self-contained & indirect - 35% of the population
4. Red (caloric) self-contained & direct - 15% of the population
Michael proceeds to further explain the colors by telling several of the attendees what color personality they are & telling them some of their likes & dislikes. He is amazingly accurate!
Do you know what color you are?
Michael also covers the importance of finding a business with all 5 pillars. When a company has four pillars and is missing even one pillar, it cannot be truly successful.
Let me put it this way: Could you drive your car with one engine and only three tires? You would not get to your destination in a very timely manner, would you?
Would an apple pie be as tasty without apples, a crust, a pie plate, sugar & spices, and lard to keep it from sticking? All five items are necessary to make a truly amazing apple pie.
The five pillars that make a company successful are:
1. Management with Experience & Integrity
2. Timing in the Company & in the Industry
3. Remarkable Products that people will buy
4. Compensation Plan that pays the Distributor
5. Proven Duplicable System to create Royalty Income
Does your company have all 5 pillars?
After a short break, Michael will show you a 5 pillars company.
He will answer all your questions.
To learn more about the personality colors and 5 pillars, go to: www.freedomtour0809.com
You may attend the Freedom Tour in a city near you. Check out the schedule and register to go for F*r*e*e. Put in Debbie Engler for who invited you. See you there!

Easy Residual Income Business - Build It Once And Build It Big by Melanie Kissell
To build a true, easy residual income business, you'll need to build it once and build it big. Then have your check coming in month after month after month. People get some screwy ideas about products when they decide to do an MLM business. I guess the one you hear most often is, "I can't sell any product unless I love it!" First thing you really need in order to sell a product unless there is a market who want it. And for a professional, that is always their number one consideration. If you're going to be successful long-term in MLM, you need to provide one or more products that people really want, and which are consumable, so they get ordered over and over and over. It's incredible to me that some businesses which call themselves network marketing, actually sell products which offer no month after month recurring income. What they really have is a one-time sale. The biggest reason to do network marketing is that as you build, your income is cumulative each month. That's what they call residual income. Most people do not really understand the difference until they actually build residual income and then they take off for 2 months to go to the Galapagos Islands or something and when they come back, they have 2 checks waiting for them, and the 2nd check is bigger than the first. THEN they really get an idea of recurring income, and it's pretty exciting and pretty life-changing. The people who will build your business and network marketing income are the people with big dreams. If you can show them a step-by-step plan to achieve what they want in life, and if they believe that it's something they can do and that you can help them, you will get a steady stream of people in your business. About the only thing that can sabotage your business at that point is ... greed and ego. It's crucial long-term that you build a good relationship with your people, and vice versa. That relationship can be easily destroyed by displays of greed or ego or both. The income is certainly important to everybody. You can create terrific income in MLM when you get a lot of people each doing a little bit of work daily and consistently. Everybody in this business wants to increase their income, and they want recognition. You will be much closer to reaching your own income goals and income stability by focusing on helping the others in your group achieve their own dreams. Be on the lookout for greed and ego so you can stop them before they ever start to develop. A lot of people frustrated with a lack of MLM success have found these ideas very useful. One very popular solution to MLM frustration is the ebook "Success In 10 Steps" by Michael Dlouhy. The author covers some of the biggest problems people have in trying to start their own successful business, and how to solve those problems. Back in the early 1990s, Dlouhy joined over 100 MLMs and studied & cataloged all their rep packs and recruiting tactics and compensation plans and training, along with his own results. He talked to a lot of different people from a lot of different companies. In "Success In 10 Steps", you'll learn all the common MLM knowledge that is completely unworkable. Plus, you find out exactly what does work. You'll find it very useful in building an easy residual income business.

Awesome Network Marketing Convention Part 3
Who visualized and won a brand new 2008 Ford Mustang?
Our business team had a drawing at the convention for a brand new 2008 Ford Mustang!
There were other prises in the drawing as well, like a laptop computer, a cabin for two on the team 's cruise coming up in February, products, and a coaching ticket (training with a leader on the team). 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.
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.)
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,
http://ddengler2.bigmlmsecrets.com/?mad=15872
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
