I would like to see a Mentoring For Free forum. We offer Free top of the industry training for anyone who needs help building a business.

Many people jump from company to company for years and years with an outcome of zero residual income. We teach you why your failure is not your fault and how to break out of this vicious downward spiral of failure.

Anyone who is serious about earning a walk-away residual income in this industry may begin training. Your first step in this process is to download and read "Success in 10 Steps"

Mentoring For FREE!

Having a forum for Mentoring For Free would be an EXCELLENT idea!

It would be helpful having a forum we could post our questions and answers & having something to refer back to from time to time here at Better Networker.

[Joyce Penner Company: Life Force International Contribution Level: 8]

Mentoring for Free is and has been an excellent program if you have been beaten up and need to bring your self confidence back up to an acceptable level. One very dangerous aspect of MFF is the "It's not your fault" mantra that's thrown around. If you want to achieve any high level of success DO NOT accept that. Every position you are in is a direct result of a decision or decisions you have made in the past.

The colours training is excellent to teach you how to listen (which is the #1 sales skill you need) but don't fall into the trap of using your colour as an excuse for anything. One gentleman I spoke to ran from MFF as, in his opinion, his upline used his green label to be a real A-hole. Or the giggle giggle, someone forgot something but geez they are blue after all. That's a business attitude?

Richard Dennis can teach you a lot about blogging.

However if you want to build a business you have to have a business mindset and operate your business like a business - Mentoring for Free will not teach you that. The confusion between mind and body occurs there. Mentor with no agenda but you got into an online opportunity to make money ! Again back to real life - Any business owner anywhere opened their business to make money and would never blacken their windows, stand out on the street offering free advice in the hopes someone would ask "What do you sell?" Why would you try to do that online? Provide value - definitely but don't hide the fact you are in business and are looking for other business partners.

Nor will it teach you the ability to work with and learn from other like minded individuals in the industry. Imagine walking into your local chamber of commerce meeting and not honouring or respecting other business owners choice of business. Wow - they all have to own health food stores just like you do! That would be ludicrous wouldn't it? The focus in MFF is to point out to everyone else how absolutely scary and self serving all other companies are. Then you gently lead them to the perfect company with the guarantee this one company only will pay your children's children.

"Critical thinkers" (such a negative term in and of itself) look at the MFF model and know that no company can guarantee they will be around for the next 100 years or that the method of bringing people into your opportunity only by pulling down other companies is a good start to any business. It is in fact the worst way to start or maintain a business. And if you think that one through you'll arrive at the same conclusion. How would people really look at you if you went to a restaurant, made a connection with everyone in the restaurant so that you can loving tell them this restaurant has this wrong with it and that wrong with it but you know of one where .... (even though you can't guarantee what you are promising). You wouldn't do that in the real world but somehow it's OK online??

You have to, as you should with all things, do your due diligence and educate yourself about MFF. All of what you are going to be taught is not accurate and you need to accept responsibility for yourself, think for yourself and take what is good out of it and reject what is harmful.

Be passionate but don't become arrogant as some do. There are other points of view, other methods, other good companies and you have to choose what is right for you based on your own due diligence, both about your mentoring program and your company and accept with grace that you are not the only answer. Then and only then can you work with, learn and grow from others no matter which company they or you are in. That's a true "no agenda" philosophy.

To your success,
Joyce Penner

So Joyce, do you like MFF or not

MFF is a duplicable system.

My problem with MFF is all of the self-proclaimed mentors and coaches who just pass you to someone else`s system.

What I like about MFF is that they do provide some very good information and I have listened to some of their Saturday night training calls which have been excellent.

[Joetta Bell Company: Trévo LLC Contribution Level: 1]

Joyce,

Thank you for the post. You have saved me the effort of checking it out to see if I might possibly have come to the wrong conclusion about MFF. My gut reaction has been to steer clear of it. I have been approached by many people on facebook about it and I have noticed several disturbing trends: condemning other companies (and training), condemning basically any color other than yellow (especially red), and as you said, the 'It's not my fault' mantra which goes totally against my values of personal responsibility. People fail in NWM because they don't take action. Period. You must take action to get the proper training, then you must take action and apply the training and knowledge you have acquired. Oh, and the 'mental cleanse' just has an unsettling cultish sound to it!

Just the name, Mentoring For Free, turns me off. Nothing is free. Even if they don't eventually get around to asking for money for something, time is money, and I'd rather not waste mine.

Thanks again,
Joetta

Jerry Clark's "the Magic of Colors" is hands down one of the best training sources I've found on the color concept. In fact just about every thing Jerry has put out is Top Shelf.
