So do I want to be like Randy Gage — or Eric Worre?

Such a dilemma.

In network marketing, a mentor can be different from a sponsor. If one’s sponsor has yet to manifest large success, it’s one’s right as an adult to seek out other advice. Notice I am NOT saying one should switch sponsors.

And when evaluating a company, I look past the person in front of me and evaluate the SYSTEM and PHILOSOPHY they are proposing.

Some rich people I know dress simply and drive modest cars (maybe a Mercedes). They have immense financial means and choose not to display that fact to the general public.

Also beware the people who dress and drive like millionaires but have nothing in the bank and the credit cards are maxed out. Or they lie about their promotion level/number of distributors/etc. Some people dress and drive fancy because they made millions in other professions but cannot create a thriving MLM business because they lack the skills to teach and guide their distributors. Time always reveals the whole situation.

I guess it boils down to: does the mentor seem happy and have the freedom to do what she/he wants with life? That signals overall prosperity (health, friends, money, etc). And what is the source(s) of income? If it is a passive or residual style they have created or are developing, then I’m all ears.

HOLLY S**T on a SHINGLE….. have you gone off the deep end?

for real… no one should listen if you DON’T drive a BENTLEY???

how about this randy… no one should listen to you if your rants and blogs are full of STUPID S**T? makes sense to me…

or how about this… you are the GURU of MLM right? self proclaimed no doubt…. but maybe we should not listen to you until you earn your ferarri?

i mean as you put it a true measure of a person is their wallet and their accomplishments right?

and of course while we’re talking about it… i am sure you are by far wealthier then i am, so dont listen to me… and of course the late Nicoli Tesla, who had his ideas and inventions stolen from him by the so called wealthy famous inventors of his time… only to die penniless with nothing but crackers and water in his empty apartment….

and by all means you should probably NOT listen to the words of another one of the most intelligent men to ever have lived when he said, “the only life worth living is a life spent in the service of others”

or the words of John Grinder, or Dr Kevin Hogan, or Donald Moine, or Kenneth Lloyd, or russel brunson, or jo han mok, or joe vitale, … or… too many to name here… as i am sure none of the above mentioned people make over $30,000,000 a year, dont drive a bentley, and dont live on two continents…..

you are living proof you can preach the laws of success, know them, talk about them write books about them and NOT live them and still become monumentally wealthy… for no other reason other than the fact that you are totally convinced that you deserve it….

remember in the day when you used to just crumple up and throw away your product telling your audience it didnt matter what the product was? and then later you corrected that statement and stopped doing it?

this blog post and others like it are no different than throwing away your product way back when. except now you are throwing away values, and influencing 100s of thousands of people world wide, some of which dont know any better and believe in you and your words at face value.

try to exercise a little restraint and responsibility?

randy you are good, and much better than many out there in the industry, but you are by far not the best, just one of the wealthiest.

I see network marketers in nutrition companies and when there’s a break at the company training event, they’re out smoking, which is not a congruent message.

On the other hand, I also went against my better judgment once and listened to a mentor when I should not have listened to them or followed them.

The answer may be learning to listen to your inner voice and developing prosperity consciousness so you know when something is a good idea or not. And being willing to look inside yourself and change the things that are not working.

Once again a very good and thought provoking idea. I have been living with that advice. Over the last 20 years have traded up and once again will be trading up to the next level. As life goes, you get out of it what you put in it. So if you live and think broke, take advice from broke people you will always be broke. Even if those people are you family. For me what I did, was listen with one ear, then did what I needed to do to transform my life to what it is today.

So successful equals rich, and someone else knows just what that means for you?

I don’t think so. I think everyone is their own best teacher on a deeper level.

Some food for thought.

I think I both agree & disagree with this.

“There are many elements to prosperity and money is certainly one of them. When you evaluate advice from someone, it very important that you also evaluate the results they have attained practicing that advice. ”

Again, I both agree & disagree about evaluating their advice based on the results they have attained practicing that advice.
I agree that if someone is in debt, living paycheck to paycheck, or not successful we need to evaluate the advice from them and look at their results.
If they are making positive changes, say starting a new network marketing business, I think that even though their past wasn’t successful they could be on the right path. They may not have the results yet but they could be headed for success. The way we reach prosperity is by helping others reach prosperity. So by sharing the network marketing opportunity they are helping others. We could learn more about advise…in this example, the network marketing company, industry, team members, etc., to help us evaluate the advice.

“You can have everything you want in life, if you can just help enough others get what they want.”- Zig Ziglar

Our own prosperity consciousness will help us recognize good and bad advice or opportunities. “The best thing you can do for the poor, starving and downtrodden, is to not be one of them.” Randy Gage

“The mentors you choose are really important. ”

I agree with this. I have chosen good and bad mentors in the past. Just because they have the title that you want to achieve doesn’t make them a good mentor. I think we need to learn more about them and get to know them better to make sure they are the right mentor.

When you are ready the mentor will appear. If you are not ready, no one will be able to make a difference with you. It comes back to the person in the mirror.
