You want honesty? LOL

This post is in response to my mentor, Randy's, recent article A Marketing Message Of Hope - Be A Beacon To Others - This Really Touched Me! I decided to repost it in my blog because it's something I've been wanting to say for a long time and have only just now been able to say it in the most diplomatic way possible for me. LOL

Oh boy... here I go...

Honestly? Randy... this was a great article and you are an incredible mentor. You are one of the funniest, motivated, ethical, honest, and caring men I have ever known. You truly care about the people you mentor and it shows in everything you say and do. I feel absolutely priviledged to have you as one of my mentors AND to be in your downline in a GREAT company!

Honestly? I was about to quit not only Network Marketing, but Internet Marketing as a whole until I stumbled upon Magnetic Sponsoring and then the Mentoring for Free system... BOTH of which teach you to build relationships and to NOT talk about your business until you prequalify the people you are mentoring for that business! I notice you three (Joyce, Rick, Melanie) constantly attacking MFF, but not Magnetic Sponsoring... hmmmm.... kinda makes me question your motives since all your negativity is focused at Vitamark/MFF.

Honestly? I was not asked to join Vitamark, which the three of you automatically assumed. I made a friend in someone... Logan (and I didn't even download the ebook at this point). He helped me to build my confidence and offered me the ebook. He gave me the knowledge and tools I needed to succeed. I was not with an MLM company at this point, mind you. I was shopping around. I learned about the 5 pillars and started doing a search for a company using these methods. Logan knew I was doing a search for a good MLM and did not interfere. He did not talk about Vitamark or try to "recruit" me. Finally, after hours of searching I decided to ask him what company he was with and joined him from there. I figured... why was I wasting my time searching when I knew he was already with a good company.

Honestly? I didn't join Vitamark right away... I used the 5 pillar test and put it against them. I did my homework... and I made sure the company and the people who started were the kind of people I wanted to work with. I could not find one negative thing about it, except for a couple of people (yes, literally only 2) like you three (one of which never even worked with the company) who bashed it saying things that I found to be completely incorrect. So their negative comments towards the company lost their credibility right away. And I went through pages and pages and pages of google searches to find them.

You guys want honesty? Well here you go...

Honestly? I was very disturbed when I received your private message, Joyce, suggesting that I should go to my upline and ask them to see their checks in order to "prove" their success. I deleted the message, but in retrospect I wish I had reported it. Is that what you teach the people you mentor? Unethical practices? And honestly... what would you say if your downline asked you to see your checks?

Honestly? Part of the reason I have stopped posting so much on here is because I'm tired of you three attacking just about every blog and article I write in an attempt to deter me from believing the methods being taught in MFF. Not that it's working, but to be honest... it's pissing me off and I don't work well when I'm pissed off. I don't mind people disagreeing with my posts and offering contructive criticism, but that's not what you guys are doing even though that's what you "say" you are doing. You are attacking what I'm being taught and what I'm trying to teach others about Network Marketing all to accomplish your goal to discredit MFF and Vitamark. And to be honest???? I'm sooooo tired of it!

Honestly? You guys have gotten me to the point, especially after reading your comments here, where I just want to report you to admin here at BN in attempt to have you banned from the community. Where do you get off telling people what company we are promoting? We don't promote it openly because like the others have said... we don't invite people into the company... we mentor them and let them come to us if they wish to join. If not, then we continue to mentor them and help them succeed in whatever company they choose to work with (and yes... I do know people in MFF that have another company than Vitamark that they work with and they are happy with their companies, and we don't try to change that).

Honestly? If you don't stop trying to bad mouth and undermine our businesses with no good reason or proof to back up your claims... then I will work to have you banned.

Randy is a good man for being so forgiving. Honestly? I really couldn't care less what happens to you three as long as you insist on being destructive in nature and then sugar coating it as though you care about what happens to others. I don't need or want people like you in my life. So do yourself a favor and pretend I don't exist and I'll do the same. When you decide to change your ways... then AND ONLY THEN... feel free to look me up!
