Life is too short to be in the wrong job!!!


Everybody says we have to do something....bu
t what? We feel as though we are busy these days, but that's not new. People seem to have got even busier and 'life is too short to ...'

Be in the wrong Job?
Life's too short...means what to you?

Its meaning according to 'Phrase and Meaning Finder';
Response to a request to do something that seems too petty to waste valuable time on.

The Origin:
This response goes back in print form to at least the late 19th century, and in people's minds probably much further. In May 1877, The Morning Oregonian included a story with this opinion:
"Oh I say, drawled Gerard; 'life's too short to be wasted talking about a woman. Let's go and get some beer."

In 1975, the English writer Shirley Conran published the book Superwoman, aimed at busy women, and coined the phrase 'Life is too short to stuff a mushroom'.


"Kerryn McCann noticed the lump in her breast months before she did anything about it, Jane McGrath, wife of cricketer Glenn McGrath, lost her 11-year battle with breast cancer. The dual Commonwealth marathon gold medallist and mother of three died on Monday morning at the age of 41 at her family's NSW home outside Wollongong in NSW, Australia, June 2008." Hmmm...Life is too short....


You maybe asking yourselves what has 'breast cancer', 'life is too short...' and 'being in the wrong job' got to do with each other. Well, actually....nothing and everything!!

I'm using this blog as a paradigm, to remind us all that 'life is like that', we all get along doing our thing, being really
busy and it's not until something drastic, life changing happens in our lives, that it jumps up and bites us on the nose, that we actually do anything about our situation.

So...here you are surfing the web, reading my post actually, looking to make some extra money, because in today's economic climate, there has to be a way to make money on the net? The problem being you don't really have any real spare money floating around, the opportunities seem to be abundant, endless and too good to be true. What one do you actually choose, which opportunity is 'for real'?

Everybody says we have to do something....but what? Well you could;
  • join a group of people that are here to safe guard and guide you,
  • mentor you,
  • tutor you - we have a myriad of people offering to help,
  • give you access to live training calls,

I believe I forgot to mention....we do all this for 'Free'.

Is the Grass Greener on the other side of the fence in MLM or...

...has someone just tinted your Glasses Green?
Some of us are never satisfied with our own situation; we always think others have it better – at Mentoring for Free we endeavour to change and make lives better.

I have a short story to tell…take from it what you will; hopefully you’ll see what we offer to you…is that the grass can be greener on the other side of the fence in MLM, all without getting you into debt.

Once upon a time there was a group of Mentoring Marketeers
We live in Cyberspace Valley
Travelling the Virtual Highway looking for fellow marketeers
hoping to save them from years of frustration and despair

Unfortunately there are these terrible, ugly, one-eyed surfers,
surfing the web looking to
“hyperbole” you – offering you the "all-time" best offer
These guys bring you in on their crest of the wave, suck you dry, dump you in whitewash leaving you to drown!

Mentoring Marketeers at Mentoring for Free
can help you from disappearing into the swirling waters of…
Wait there’s more…
Buy now for only $67, $47, $97, $497...
this one time offer won’t be offered again
(strange isn’t it when you click on some these ads 6, 12, 18 months - even 2 years later they have the same deal!)
You can’t do this alone Our Mentors pledge
"We won’t let you do it alone"


Come, R.I.P. and trippity-trop into our joint
Make some great friends
And…
make the ‘grass greener’ on your side of the fence in MLM for a change




Looking forward to meeting with you on my side of the fence, making a difference in your lives, like my mentor has made in mine.

If I were not afraid, I would....

Bungy Jump with my 15 year old son, Sean.

The reality is that although when I was his age I had the same fearlessness, as I’ve grown older, wiser and more mature – I now have an uncontrollable fear of heights, that even standing on rung 2, let alone 3 of the ladder to get the jolly kitten off the garage, at a push is basically an impossibility and leaves my stomach doing summersaults all over the show and me wishing I hadn’t done that in the first place because I’m yet again trying to keep my insides from falling outside.

AJ Hackett, fellow Kiwi, has turned the adventure tourism industry upside down with his revolutionary invention of basically rubber bands; strap around the ankle, freefall yourself into oblivion, all for that massive adrenalin rush. He’s taken this simple piece of action to the world, made himself very wealthy in the process – now living the life he wants in the manner he’s now become accustomed, on residual ncome and royalty funds – good on him.


For me network marketing is bit like ‘freefalling’ myself into...thankfully not oblivion. vSome of my friends (I’m sure you all have them too) think that, yet again, Julie has lost the plot.



Well, I know I haven’t, Michael Dlouhy has revolutionised internet marketing with Mentoring for Free. Tom Schreiter, Chairman, Vitamark International, has revolutionised the network marketing industry with “Next Generation Network Marketing Model”.

What is that you might say – bottom line Vitamark International is a network marketing company that is owned by the distributors – end result the distributors get the lion’s share of the profits - our weekly/monthly pay cheque for selling products on behalf of the company.

Now for those of us that want to Fast Track our lives and assist others along the way as well, you can download my Free E-Book, Success in 10 Steps.

If I were really afraid…I guess I would not be 'freefalling' here with you now, I would not have trusted my gut instinct and downloaded my own FREE E-Book and I would not be here now offering to help you like I've been offered help.

Being reliant on your Boss can Suck!

I followed my Dream – 5 January this year I married my best friend of 25 years. We moved my two teenage boys and a shipping container of all our ‘worldly goods’ to be with my darling in gorgeously hot, Tropical Cairns, Far North Queensland, Australia.

Now, as you do, I settled the boys into Cairns schools, with some difficulties – naturally – on the whole the experience and transfer has been reasonably seamless.

I’m a Secretary by trade – performed in a variety of roles over years as a Shop Girl, Bar Maid (as you do in your teenage years), Office Administrator, Receptionist, Secretary/Personal/Executive Assistant and Office Manager. For two years I owned and operated my own cleaning business. Of course, I consider my most fulfilling role being a ‘Mother’.

I got several contract roles here in Australia, doing my tradecraft. I’m a bright, vibrant, outgoing and cheerful – some would say a ‘Colourful Personality’, I like that, it’s me. I found what I was hoping to be a permanent role, working for an Accountant – complete opposite personality to myself – being a small business, he described me, at the interview as an “Overhead” – really when I look back, the inkling that that wasn’t good – to be thought of as an ‘overhead’ wasn’t a good sign, I should have listened to that inkling but….

Here in Australia, they have this law, (I refer to ‘they’ because I still consider myself a ‘Kiwi’ – New Zealander) all employers can employ new staff under a ‘Probationary’ 3 month trial period. If for whatever reason they decide they don’t want you to work there any more – that’s it, it’s all “OVER ROVER” – here’s your brollie (rains here a lot), bag and the door, no reasons offered nor do they have to be.

Now we can all deduce from that what we will…..more importantly what I’ve decided is that I’m not going to put my livelihood in the hands of anyone else now but my own. I’m going to be in charge of my own destiny, no one else – not even my husband. Now my darling sometimes finds this hard to bear – not just because I’m “Miss Independent” – but because he’s a honey – a died in the wool, old fashioned type of guy, he wants to be my Knight in Shinning Armour (KISA) and keep me from all harm – including ‘Bosses’!!!

Now, while this is all lovely, we all have to be practical while fulfilling our DREAMS of financial freedom – I’m back to contracting, the mortgage needs to be paid, we want to eat, pay all those bills etc – Yuk boring – but reality for the moment, not for long though coz I have a Dream….

I’ve met the right group of people that are helping me to fulfil my DREAM – Mentoring for Free - coupled with Vitamark International - is my road to financial freedom.


If you would like to join me on this journey - download my book - and let’s

‘Hit the Road Jack and don’t look Back, No More No More No More….’

Cyberspace Guru



Anyone new to the world of Internet Marketing, I’m sure is finding this “cyberspace world” to be WOW!!


In the short period of time (2 months) that I’ve ventured into this world – I’ve discovered no matter how focused you aim to be, how well you follow the ‘footsteps in the sand’ so as not to reinvent the wheel – it is so easy to be ‘CLICKED’ off into ‘cyberspace’ by our wonderful friend ‘Mouse’ and before we know where we are, we are enveloped deep within the folds of pages after pages of blaring advertising

  • “but wait there’s more”
  • “are you really sure you don’t want our….”
  • “for you as a one time offer I’ll reduce our price to…..”
  • “download this it’s FREE – yeah right…!!”
  • some even have the little generated ‘cyberspace gal’ that can help you with more information – only of course if you ask questions that ‘cyberspace gal’ is capable of answering…!!



Usually I find the only thing that is FREE - is filling in your name and email address…



When all a girl was looking for was some information on how to download/upload a SEO Blog system – you must forgive me there, I’m a bit of an Internet/Web Dummy – like many of us I believe - and even with step by step instructions, there are times when I sit looking at my computer in a dazed glaze….

Anyway enough of that, I’m learning and that’s the main thing, but what I’ve discovered is that I’m with a company that isn’t into hype – in fact by comparison to a huge amount of the advertising out there today on the Net, our company, some could say, are in the dark ages of modern advertising….

Actually that’s not true, what we are doing is being ourselves, nice, normal people, who hate all the hype, don’t like to be sold, don’t like having products and schemes shoved down our throats, when we say we have a FREE gift, that’s actually what we have - Free Gift.

I was talking with a prospect just yesterday, he had downloaded my Free E-Book, when I rang he was very friendly, we talked about completely unrelated stuff. I offered him some more information and advice about what we do and how perhaps we could help him – he was very cagey – didn’t want it he thought – I said it’s FREE, he laughed at me, said nothing is for FREE on the Internet!! I assured him it was FREE, guess what….this was the first he’d come across absolutely FREE more information in the 20 years he's been working on the Net. As I said earlier – the majority of the stuff being advertised for FREE isn’t.

If you aren’t the only ones out – I’m sure you aren’t, you would like more help that is FREE, download my FREE E-Book, Success in 10 Steps.

Looking forward to meeting with you on the ‘other side’.

Is your Company a 'FIVE' Pillar Company??

"This Is The Information That Did It For Me!"


I thought I was about to join a good home-business opportunity. I thought it would provide me with that extra income, especially needed in today's global economic market, with the required amount of work needed to start any worthwhile business, but with only a few hours of work a day.

When I heard Michael Dlouhy describe the "Five Pillars of Success" in any home-based business company, I immediately knew my opportunity was a sham.

Fortunately for me, I discovered this awesome team of people right at the very beginning of my new life's journey; before I suffered any long lasting ill effects, major headaches/heartaches, and most important an empty bank account. I can help you become "Free@last" to reach the success in your life that you CRAVE/DREAM of.

One More Reason Not To Work For Your Overpaid
Boss!!



All you wanted to do was make some money. Times are tight. You and your family are spending less and less time together. The bills are piling up. You have to work harder and harder just to make ends meet. At this rate, you won’t be able to retire until you’re 90!

Then, you found a "business opportunity". It was like an answer to prayer!

Lots of people know that feeling - including me


Losing your money was bad, but losing your reputation was worse. You thought you were “helping” people. Most of them laughed at you. Maybe not in your face. But they were doing it on the inside, or behind your back. Then you started saying some pretty nasty things to yourself. About what a fool you were. And your self-confidence went down the drain.

It’s OK. Water under the bridge now. But what’s next, now that you’re smarter??How do you get what you REALLY want??

Good question. I have some answers.

Check out our free e-book, Success In 10 Steps: http://freeatlast.successin10steps.com/

Have an awesome day!
