An MLM Case Study: Toby & Layla Black Termination

toby-layla
So this is interesting…. The video below is from Layla Black.

Layla and her husband Toby were recently terminated by their Network Marketing Company. The reasons weren’t given on the video, but basically it came down to a Policies and Procedure issue. Toby and Layla didn’t comply, so the company took their check and forced them into silence. Meaning they couldn’t even contact any member of their team to say goodbye.

Watch this:

So I’ve got some questions:

Did the lead generating system they were using conflict with the Policies and Procedures of their primary company?

Were they recruiting people into both companies, thus breaking the “Cross-line Recruiting” clause in the policies?

When they were making $500 a month, they were doing the same thing as when they were making $25k a month…. Why did their company wait so long to terminate them? Do you think it’s because the company knew they were the type of people who could build a huge downline, so they waited until it was substantial enough to steal their check?

Or, could it be that at $500 a month or even $1,000, $2,000 a month they weren’t on the company’s radar? But at $25k a month they’re now “Leaders” so all eyes are on them and every move is watched? Hmmmmm…

We’ll probably never know the answers to these questions, but we should all think about them very seriously, because it’s a reality we all face. That’s why I stress and have stressed for the last 4 years that people really need to get educated and read their Policies and Procedures and understand what they say and what they mean. This is both our current and future income we’re talking about.

Please don’t think this is an isolated case either…. It happens all the time. More often than you think. We’ve picked up the pieces of countless people who have lost everything and have to start over.

Think about it for a second… This is not some job where if you get fired, you can go out and get another job (hopefully) making the same wage as you were making before. This is Network Marketing where if you leave or get terminated you have to start over. FROM ZERO! And it will take some time to build back up to $25k, $50k, $100k a month! And if you’ve been in this industry any length of time, that’s not an easy thing to do. Yes you have more experience, and it might be a little easier and quicker, but it’s still a lot of work!

So what’s my point? Read your company’s Policies and Procedures. Understand them. Know what you can and can’t do. Know where you stand.

If you need help, please reach out to me or someone, anyone in Mentoring for Free. We can show you why this stuff happens and how to avoid it. We can educate you so you won’t be a termination statistic like so many others.

At Mentoring For Free We Deal in Dreams

Recently, my Network Marketing Company went through a big change by merging with another well known company which has hit Momentum. The change was quick and unexpected. It kinda threw everyone for a loop. The adjustment period has been, well, interesting.

As everyone knows, I’ve been using Mentoring For Free for quite some time now and I’ve used it very successfully. I went from a guy who was so afraid of the phone that he couldn’t even call and order a pizza, to one of the Mentors leading our National Skills Training Calls throughout the week.

Needless to say, Mentoring For Free has been a very big part of my life for the last three and a half years. I wouldn’t be where I am today without it.

Riding The Network Marketing Wave

When I was younger, I lived near the Pacific Ocean in California. We would go to the beach a lot. Surfing and riding the waves was a big part of my youth.

One thing that I learned about the waves is that you must respect them. They’re powerful, but you can get swept away with them.

Ultimately, every wave comes to an end. Usually by crashing into the beach. You have to be careful and know that if you’re riding a wave, there is a time to get off. Otherwise you’ll crash and it will hurt like hell.

Another thing I learned is that no matter how big and awesome the wave, there will be a time when you must swim out to catch the next one. And the next one. And the next one.

That was until I learned how to windsurf. Having the wind to help you navigate the waves allows you to ride them over and over and go out further than you ever thought possible.

What does this have to do with Network Marketing? Well, think of the actual company as the ocean. As with the ocean, it will have waves. Some big, some small. You can ride the marketing wave until it crashes into the beach, then swim out to get the next wave that comes, or you can be smart and learn to use the wind and the sails to help you have a more consistent and longer ride.

The wind and sails is a Proven Duplicatable System. Exactly what I use every day. Mentoring For Free. A System that not only helps you sail, but teaches you how along the way. A System that provides the map that you can use to chart your way.

Are you ever going to hit rough water? Waves bigger than you can handle alone? Of course, but that’s where the other Mentors in Mentoring For Free will come to the rescue. They’ve been there and navigated those waters. They’ve been through the rough seas. And they’ll help you do it too.

Don’t be left out in the water all by yourself. Mentoring For Free can help you. See that form up on the top right of the page? Put your info in there. Get our FREE eBook. It, along with all the FREE training I’ll give you can be just the life preserver you need.

It doesn’t matter what company you’re in. It doesn’t matter what product you sell. If you’re committed to making this work, I can help you.

If you just want to ride the waves for a bit, then good luck to you. Hang 10 Dude!

To Your Success!

The Money is in the List! – Wrong!


I know you’ve been told this countless times… The money is in the list!

Is that really true? Or is your list nothing more than a bunch of names?

I’m going to venture out on a limb and tell you that the Money is NOT in the list….

The money is in the RELATIONSHIPS you build with the people on your list!

You see, I can show you how to build your list easily.

I can show you how to brand yourself so that people are attracted to you and WANT to be on you list.

BUT, if you don’t build relationships with the people on your list, you might as well be pulling names from the phone book…

It’s useless!!

Last Saturday, January 7th, my Good Friend and Personal Mentor Michael Dlouhy was interviewed on a Special Conference Call.

On this packed call Michael taught THE MOST IMPORTANT skill in building relationships with people!

If you don’t learn this SKILL, your Business is dead in the water, and your list is GARBAGE.

I don’t normally do this with the special calls we have, but this was such a good call I decided I’d share the recording with you so you can benefit from learning this skill just as I have.

Listen to the audio training here:

Why Mentoring For Free? (Part 4) Affiliate Money

Over the past couple days I’ve given you a little insight into some of the reasons I use Mentoring For Free. If you haven’t read the those articles, I suggest you read them so you’ll have a better grasp of today’s article. You can read them here:
Why Mentoring For Free? (Part 1).
Why Mentoring For Free? (Part 2).
Why Mentoring For Free? (Part 3).

The other day I was asked by a friend why I do Mentoring For Free. His biggest question was why help people who might never join my Network Marketing Team. Isn’t sponsoring people in your business the point of being in Network Marketing? Why not do one of those other systems where even if they don’t join your team, they join the “system” as an affiliate and you still make money.

Today, I would like to talk about Affiliate Marketing Systems and why it’s not a good idea to make money off people joining under you in these systems. It’s yet another important reason I use Mentoring For Free that most people don’t know about.

Affiliate Marketing Programs like My Lead Systems Pro (MLSP) for example, are popular programs on the market now, because you can earn money for every person who you bring in to use the system also. Now I’m not bashing MLSP in any way. It’s a great system. They have lots of tools and they teach you to how to brand yourself, which is valuable in this industry. Unlike Mentoring For Free though, the training you get is not free. You can’t get the training without paying for the system. That’s all well and good, but I prefer the free method.

With these types of Affiliate Marketing Systems, you’re making money even if people don’t join your primary company. On the surface that sounds like a great idea, but in addition to the point I made yesterday about competition, you have to be careful. After reviewing the Policies and Procedures of literally hundreds of companies, we’ve found that a majority of them have clauses that you are not allowed to make any additional money with any other system, MLM, Affiliate or otherwise.

That’s a big gotcha!! And since the Policies and Procedures are the contract between you and your company, your company has the right to terminate you if you violate the terms of the contract! Might not be a big deal if you’re only making $100 a month, but it becomes potentially devastating if you’re making $10,000 or more! And honestly, your company isn’t going to be watching you very closely if you’re making $100, but all eyes will be on you if you’re at the $10,000 level.

So my question is, why would you want to jeopardize your income from your Network Marketing company in order to make a few bucks in the affiliate program? And an even better question is, why would you want to potentially get someone you bring into the system terminated by their company? Kinda goes against the whole point of helping someone out doesn’t it?

So my biggest advice to you would be before you join one of these Affiliate Marketing Programs, or even an additional Network Marketing Company, read your policies and procedures. We’ll go into other reasons reading your P&Ps are critical to your success in another post, but for now, take a look at them anyway. Always good to know what contracts you’ve agreed to.

Or, you could always just let me help you in Mentoring For Free and save yourself the frustration. Oh, another point I’d like to make to you about this is that, it’s hard enough to build your Network Marketing Company, why spend the time and effort promoting 2 things? Seems like a waste of time to me.

In tomorrow’s post, I want to show you what the Mentoring For Free 30 Day Mental Cleanse is all about. It’s a Personal Development Program that frankly has changed my life. It’s changing countless others lives too. Participating in this program could take your life and business to the next level! Michael Dlouhy always says, “To have more, you need to become more! You have to become the person people want to be in business with!” The 30 Day Mental Cleanse can help you be that person. That’s worth coming back tomorrow to find out more about it!

In the meantime, let me show you even more about what this system has to offer. Personally I’m using it to build one of the fastest growing teams in my Network Marketing Company. Wouldn’t it be nice if you were doing the same? The first step is to download our Free eBook Success in 10 Steps. From that point I’ll take you by the hand and show you how your lack of success so far in this industry is not your fault and how you can turn that all around.
