Success Story From a Womans Point of View
Linda Dlouhy's MLM Success
"Michael is a very sincere stalker. 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.
"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."
Florida - I am the guru's woman.
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.
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.
"I'm HERE! I'm HERE!"
Back before Matthew was born, about 24 years ago, we went home to Northern Maine for a family reunion. Michael & 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
"Utter Disappointment" Wasn't Very "Utter" For Michael
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.
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.
I haven't been as involved in the business as Michael. We've had 2 children, a big house, dogs, cats, a horse %u2026 the occasional alligator. But we're downsizing now.
I'm excited that I'll be more involved and can spend more time with Michael. Our son & future daughter-in-law are buying a home. So the schedule is changing. I'll get to work with Michael.
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.
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.
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."
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.
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.
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."
And I believed him. And he was right.
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.
He Makes Up His Own Rules
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.
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.
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.
Michael Is a Very Sincere Stalker
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.
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.
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.
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.
He Loves Working With YOU
He knows there are a lot of people now with very true, deep feelings for him. There are no smoke & mirrors here. Michael is real. What he does is real.
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.
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.
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.
His Motor Never Stops
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.
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.
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!
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 & Blue in me.
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.
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.

Richard Dennis on Michael Dlouhy and His first thoughts.
The White Knight of Network Marketing?
Good grief. Gag me with a spoon.
I knew the man before he became "St. Michael."
You need to read THIS story ...
By Richard Dennis
I have strong disagreements with Michael, but it's not personal. I've known him since 1997. In person, away from business, he's a charming, lovable character. Fun, sort of. Almost cartoon-like.
For some reason I can't quite put my finger on, many people are drawn to him. My wife, for instance. Cheryl thinks he's great.
Me? I'm at my wits' end. Michael Dlouhy rubs me the wrong way. Before you think I'm petty or nasty or vindictive, let me tell you some things. This guy is going to irritate the snot out of you, too:
1. Michael Dlouhy 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 & e-book show them EXACTLY, step-by-step, how to take business away from him (as if they could) %u2026 and then he doesn't even charge them for the training! (You'll learn his reasoning for this in a couple minutes.)
By all rights, he ought to be standing at some big intersection with his spray bottle, dashing out at red lights, washing your windshield. Heck. He'd probably do THAT for free, too.
Here's his motto: "Take everything I've got. Please." Michael trains his own people. He trains people from other companies. He trains people in his own company, but not in his group. It's all free.
It's all nuts.
But what aggravates me no end is, it works. He spits on the time-tested rules of direct marketing. He makes an absolute fool out of every MLM "Heavy Hitter" on the planet. As incredible as it seems from the way he does business, my suspicion is, next thing he does is fire up his Harley and head off to the bank, saddlebags stuffed with cash.
Life isn't fair. Why the heck isn't he bankrupt?
2. Michael's entire 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 & family. And yet they move a TON of product, and they build like crazy!
Is this any way to run a business?
Listen. I've talked to a bunch of his people. I know his motivation. Michael tells them how he was abused as a kid. His Aunt Honey rescued him and loved him. And now he wants to be Aunt Honey to all these abused network marketers.
Oh, brother! Wouldn't Dr. Phil have a field day with this?
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" and direct marketers, THAT is when he gets fire in his eyes and nitroglycerin in his veins.
In his e-book, he catalogs every lie they've ever told. What drives him is helping all those who've dreamed entrepreneurial dreams, and then been fleeced & abused by the evildoers. So when he gives everything away ... it's an "in-your-face" to the Heavy Hitters.
Heck. Nothing wrong with that. Strong motivation. That's good. But then he should stick to the profit basics.
Instead, off he goes, riding over the countryside. It's The White Knight of Network Marketing, Sir Michael of MLM.
Gag me with a spoon.
And what's he doing? Saving the dreamers from ... WHAT? Now it's MLM VAMPIRES!?
The man has gone round the bend.
3. Michael leaves wonderful, wildly profitable MLM marketing systems on the curb if he can't use them to build others. People instantly relate to him. They trust him. They're loyal as all get-out. He makes relationship-building look way too easy. And he trains his people to use his e-book do the same thing.
Michael refuses to acknowledge that business is about profit. If there's one business certainty, it's the bottom line. Profit or die. Period.
But Michael is totally unreasonable about this. Oh, he'd never be so rude as to "correct" me when I tell him these things. He just politely listens and then continues to do exactly what he was going to do anyway, which is to build people.
Michael has a thing about numbers. So I've told him, "It's great that you care about people, Michael. 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. The problem with people is, they're VERY unpredictable.
"But product marketing systems are VERY predictable. We can set up a product marketing system, test it, tweak it, and figure out what gets good performance numbers. Then we can just ride that profit train. It's much more sensible than betting on people. What if your people don't make it? What if they don't build?"
And you know what he tells me?
"They will."
What kind of a Pollyanna answer is that?
4. He comes into MY home, into MY living room, sits in MY chair, and thinks he can outsmart me.
Michael lives 200 miles away. So when he'd call to ask if he could drop by, I knew I was going to get a hard sell. I had my excuse list ready.
Then he'd show up and talk with Cheryl & me. I have to admit, he can be a warm and engaging storyteller.
And no hard sell.
It's worse.
He just sits there and INTENTIONALLY listens to me.
Very irritating. I've heard his Colors training. I know exactly what he's doing. He doesn't fool me for a minute. Even so, it's tough not to blab your head off when someone gets as interested in what you're saying as Michael does.
So I talk. He listens. He figures me out. Believe me, he LOVES to have that advantage.
5. He doesn't know when to quit. Michael knew EXACTLY how much he annoyed me, yet he still 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 %u2026 OR NOT!
So it's OK if I work with him. And it's OK if I don't. That's just wonderful.
I don'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.
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 had to know. I called him up. We had a very long talk.
And I'm glad we did. Because now I understand better why he does what he does in network marketing. There really is a method to his madness.
Let me give you one example.
Remember how he gives everything away to his competitors, free of charge? He does that because he knows this business. MLM companies come, go and change like crazy. Michael knows that when he builds trust with people, he's sowing the seeds for working together in the future. Just because a person is in love with their company today doesn't mean they will be a month or a year or 5 years from now.
And whenever they're ready to make a change, Michael's door is open. Good plan, actually.
And, as it turns out, he has a lot of good plans. It shocks me to say this. But the conclusion is inescapable.
Simply, Michael Dlouhy 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.
It took me years to realize what I hate most about Michael Dlouhy. 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.
6. There are days (I swear this is true) he calls me 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?
I once asked Linda Dlouhy when her husband sleeps.
Her answer?
"He doesn't."
THIS one is personal.
Why should I feel guilty about getting a good night's sleep?
But in the middle of the night, from the deepest sleep, I suddenly sit bolt upright in bed, eyes wide, sweat dripping, picturing Michael Dlouhy getting ahead of me. He's already on the phone, or at his computer sending emails, or out somewhere saving baby entrepreneurs.
I do a lot of work. I get a lot done. I work hard. But he never stops. He really pisses me off.

I knew the man before he became "St. Michael."
You need to read THIS story ...
By Richard Dennis
I have strong disagreements with Michael, but it's not personal. I've known him since 1997. In person, away from business, he's a charming, lovable character. Fun, sort of. Almost cartoon-like.
For some reason I can't quite put my finger on, many people are drawn to him. My wife, for instance. Cheryl thinks he's great.
Me? I'm at my wits' end. Michael Dlouhy rubs me the wrong way. Before you think I'm petty or nasty or vindictive, let me tell you some things. This guy is going to irritate the snot out of you, too:
1. Michael Dlouhy 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 & e-book show them EXACTLY, step-by-step, how to take business away from him (as if they could) %u2026 and then he doesn't even charge them for the training! (You'll learn his reasoning for this in a couple minutes.)
By all rights, he ought to be standing at some big intersection with his spray bottle, dashing out at red lights, washing your windshield. Heck. He'd probably do THAT for free, too.
Here's his motto: "Take everything I've got. Please." Michael trains his own people. He trains people from other companies. He trains people in his own company, but not in his group. It's all free.
It's all nuts.
But what aggravates me no end is, it works. He spits on the time-tested rules of direct marketing. He makes an absolute fool out of every MLM "Heavy Hitter" on the planet. As incredible as it seems from the way he does business, my suspicion is, next thing he does is fire up his Harley and head off to the bank, saddlebags stuffed with cash.
Life isn't fair. Why the heck isn't he bankrupt?
2. Michael's entire 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 & family. And yet they move a TON of product, and they build like crazy!
Is this any way to run a business?
Listen. I've talked to a bunch of his people. I know his motivation. Michael tells them how he was abused as a kid. His Aunt Honey rescued him and loved him. And now he wants to be Aunt Honey to all these abused network marketers.
Oh, brother! Wouldn't Dr. Phil have a field day with this?
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" and direct marketers, THAT is when he gets fire in his eyes and nitroglycerin in his veins.
In his e-book, he catalogs every lie they've ever told. What drives him is helping all those who've dreamed entrepreneurial dreams, and then been fleeced & abused by the evildoers. So when he gives everything away ... it's an "in-your-face" to the Heavy Hitters.
Heck. Nothing wrong with that. Strong motivation. That's good. But then he should stick to the profit basics.
Instead, off he goes, riding over the countryside. It's The White Knight of Network Marketing, Sir Michael of MLM.
Gag me with a spoon.
And what's he doing? Saving the dreamers from ... WHAT? Now it's MLM VAMPIRES!?
The man has gone round the bend.
3. Michael leaves wonderful, wildly profitable MLM marketing systems on the curb if he can't use them to build others. People instantly relate to him. They trust him. They're loyal as all get-out. He makes relationship-building look way too easy. And he trains his people to use his e-book do the same thing.
Michael refuses to acknowledge that business is about profit. If there's one business certainty, it's the bottom line. Profit or die. Period.
But Michael is totally unreasonable about this. Oh, he'd never be so rude as to "correct" me when I tell him these things. He just politely listens and then continues to do exactly what he was going to do anyway, which is to build people.
Michael has a thing about numbers. So I've told him, "It's great that you care about people, Michael. 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. The problem with people is, they're VERY unpredictable.
"But product marketing systems are VERY predictable. We can set up a product marketing system, test it, tweak it, and figure out what gets good performance numbers. Then we can just ride that profit train. It's much more sensible than betting on people. What if your people don't make it? What if they don't build?"
And you know what he tells me?
"They will."
What kind of a Pollyanna answer is that?
4. He comes into MY home, into MY living room, sits in MY chair, and thinks he can outsmart me.
Michael lives 200 miles away. So when he'd call to ask if he could drop by, I knew I was going to get a hard sell. I had my excuse list ready.
Then he'd show up and talk with Cheryl & me. I have to admit, he can be a warm and engaging storyteller.
And no hard sell.
It's worse.
He just sits there and INTENTIONALLY listens to me.
Very irritating. I've heard his Colors training. I know exactly what he's doing. He doesn't fool me for a minute. Even so, it's tough not to blab your head off when someone gets as interested in what you're saying as Michael does.
So I talk. He listens. He figures me out. Believe me, he LOVES to have that advantage.
5. He doesn't know when to quit. Michael knew EXACTLY how much he annoyed me, yet he still 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 %u2026 OR NOT!
So it's OK if I work with him. And it's OK if I don't. That's just wonderful.
I don'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.
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 had to know. I called him up. We had a very long talk.
And I'm glad we did. Because now I understand better why he does what he does in network marketing. There really is a method to his madness.
Let me give you one example.
Remember how he gives everything away to his competitors, free of charge? He does that because he knows this business. MLM companies come, go and change like crazy. Michael knows that when he builds trust with people, he's sowing the seeds for working together in the future. Just because a person is in love with their company today doesn't mean they will be a month or a year or 5 years from now.
And whenever they're ready to make a change, Michael's door is open. Good plan, actually.
And, as it turns out, he has a lot of good plans. It shocks me to say this. But the conclusion is inescapable.
Simply, Michael Dlouhy 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.
It took me years to realize what I hate most about Michael Dlouhy. 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.
6. There are days (I swear this is true) he calls me 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?
I once asked Linda Dlouhy when her husband sleeps.
Her answer?
"He doesn't."
THIS one is personal.
Why should I feel guilty about getting a good night's sleep?
But in the middle of the night, from the deepest sleep, I suddenly sit bolt upright in bed, eyes wide, sweat dripping, picturing Michael Dlouhy getting ahead of me. He's already on the phone, or at his computer sending emails, or out somewhere saving baby entrepreneurs.
I do a lot of work. I get a lot done. I work hard. But he never stops. He really pisses me off.

Richard Dennis on Michael Dlouhy
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 & John Carlton, writing sales letters for some of Gary's clients.
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 200 million "Dead Doctors" tapes were circulated. It's still the benchmark against which all other network marketing promotions are measured.
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 %u2026 along with my book, "The Strangest Nutritional Secret!" These pieces brought us a couple million dollars net over the next few years.
Michael, on the other hand, has never created ANYTHING like these pieces.
All he does is build relationships with people, and then he teaches them to do the same thing.
"Build people. People will build your business."
Michael must say THAT 20 times a day. So instead of some mile-wide, inch-thick marketing thingy, he now has tight relationships with hundreds of people who would follow him anywhere.
That absolutely is NOT direct marketing. But it sure makes me wonder if he's back there behind the curtains, the Wizard of Oz, pulling the levers - laughing at ME!
8. Which brings me to why I REALLY hate Michael Dlouhy. Because as I watch what Michael is doing now, and as I talk to many of his people, I have a realization:
EVERYTHING I did back in the '90s, ALL the success, WAS A MISTAKE!
I don't believe I'm saying this.
Trust me - I'm not being humble. I look at me back then, and I look at Michael, now, and it's the only logical conclusion. I was using Direct Marketing tactics to do Network Marketing. It worked great, right up until it crashed and burned and our income perished.
Listen. I was never arrogant. In many ways, I was stunned by success. But I did think it meant something. I thought it meant I knew what I was doing.
Wrong.
Oh, I could market, all right. But I didn't build 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.
So I had a direct marketing mindset, and I was doing a network marketing business. It was doomed from the start. I made a lot of money. So did many of our people. But then, suddenly, it fell apart.
Had I built people rather than income, that business would still be going strong today.
Live and learn.
So here I am, years later. I find myself working with Michael, learning from him.
It's not always easy. We have very different viewpoints. I've been in this industry, off and on, for almost 30 years. And it's definitely tough to teach an old dog new tricks.
But Michael has certainly convinced me that to build an MLM that lasts, you MUST build relationships. You MUST build people. I've learned that from him, and I appreciate it.
Look. I won't go into details. But Michael has PROVEN to me that he is 100% committed to my success using his system.
Pretty smart. Astonishing, really. He's turned me from a skeptic into a raving Michael Dlouhy fan.
After all these years, I now have a mentor. If you're smart, you'll let Michael teach you, too. He will train you every inch of the way until you're successful in MLM.
What else would you expect from the "White Knight of Network Marketing"?
Now you have another reason to really look into what is happening in Mentoring For Free.
Take a moment to really think about what you've read. Don't do it for us, for Richard Dennis, Linda Dlouhy, or even Michael Dlouhy, DO IT FOR YOU!
You deserve success, you deserve the life you want!
