Hello Nick and thank you!

I agree 100% with BJ, I could not have said it better than she did.

This just goes to prove what I have come to know - the members of this community are by far among the best of mankind.  They truly have hearts of gold, hence the reason why this is such a successful community.

Just yesterday I recommended ALP to a person who mentioned they just started an internet based business.  I told him he would find people willing and more than able to help him navigate the hidden depth of the network marketing and the internet. 

Nick you have proved that this is THE community of choice for anyone who really wants to find any degree.

Thank you and I hope everyone gets to read your post.

Great post Nick and thank you for inviting me to it. 

I wish I had known you when I was a newbie because I did just the same as your contact did.  I did have have a mentor too, for building a list, however it wasn't until after I had joined 15 or 20 different programs (that they had told me I should join) and was totally lost that I was told that I should learn to focus.  By then I was so confused that I couldn't decide where to put my focus.  :o)

I think you are absolutely correct in saying that the telephone is still a great way to do some one on one training for new people to your downline.

I have pretty much started from square one again, because after joining so many programs in the beginning, I really don't think that I ever received a phone call from one of them after I joined.  The only phone calls I have received have been recruiting calls.

Needless to say, now I am very careful and perhaps a bit too skeptical, but you all have to know that there is a lot of hype out there and most of the 'networkers' are just 'loose cannons' and are jumping from program to program themselves.  I think perhaps most often it is "the blind leading the blind".  Do you agree?
