Why is Network Marketing an industry where we circle the wagons and shoot inward?
There are plenty of enemies outside the circle…like scams and Evil Medicine.
We should band together and help each other and our industry to thrive!
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.
As a kid, I collected seashells and sold them door-to-door. I had a newspaper route.
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.
I drove a cab. Then I managed high volume gasoline stations and restaurants. I enjoyed training and developing teams.
I married, moved to Connecticut and raised two beautiful children. My wife and I became active in our community.
I went into insurance and financial planning. I founded an independent agency for the freedom of working from my home.
But it wasn’t perfect. I convinced my wife to join me in another network marketing adventure.
I drove all over the east coast building our group. We learned two things:
1. Our upline were making most of their money selling training audios to their distributors
2. No one in our downline was duplicating what we did.
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.
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 …
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.
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.
On my own again. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.
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:
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.
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!
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.
I was intrigued. The Mentoring For Free team taught me how to connect with people and then build relationships instantly.
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.
And THAT is a system you can duplicate.
I like your story about you and how you first got started with Michael Dlouhy. How he taught you to connect with people and how to build relationships with people as well. I’m sure people really liked you cause I can tell by listening to you on the calls. You speak from the heart. Something I need to learn more of. My childhood life I was the type of being so shy and quiet. I let people run all over top of me. Never standing up for myself. I want so bad to be liked. People to look up to me,to follow me,support me.Mentoring For Free can teach me also how to connect with people and how to build relationships with people.Wednesday night is where i’m going to be with all of you mentors! Thank you Ken for being there for us.

Hi Cindy,
THe most senior of all Natural Laws is the LAW OF BALANCE.
It governs the Laws of Attraction and Compensation, among others.
When You LIKE people, people like You back – You start by liking YOURSELF.
When You look up, others look up. When You GIVE support, You RECEIVE support.
This is an IMMUTABLE Law!

Hi Ken, I would like to reconnect with you. Lost touch. I am trying to build 10K Challenge. I lost a bunch on Profit Clicking. I have a blog blameiton.wordpress.com I have sponsored 9 in 10K but no one is active. I have wanted to go the mff direction but frankly the people I have worked with (well one really) did nothing to give me direction and I didn’t get that much out of the 10 pillars. I am actually breaking even in 3WayCashFlow. I think I need a little direction if you could help me. Thanks.
Hi Pete,
If You are coach-able, we can help You.
We can teach You how to get FOCUSED.
One warning though, Michael Dlouhy and I will only tell You
the TRUTH. Most people don’t want the Truth, they want
their adviser to validate whatever they are doing.
If You can handle the Truth, then fill out the form at
http://mentorken.bigmlmlies.com/?mad=63906.
When You read the book, do what Chapter 2
strongly suggests. Nothing else will help You
if You don’t nail that.
Ken
Hi Ken,
For some reason we are not getting your newsletter. It says we are already subscribed, but we still aren’t getting it.
Thanks for the help.
Have a nice day!

I love blogging when it’s for or about something I believe in. I also read news blogs often and discover that it makes me feel much more intelligent every time I read them. I also feel like I am a pretty very good person who tries to treat others with respect, no matter what their view is. There are some real haters out there. Thanks again. I learned some items about blogging. I will certainly put your site on my speed dial.
Ive been meaning to publish about something like this on my website and this gave me an idea. Exactly the stuff I needed.
TY, great job! Exactly the stuff I had to know.
Hi, you answered my first email and was hoping to hear from you again, I am coachable, and would like to learn. Hope to hear from you.
thanks
