Session 116
Are you worth the money you're being paid— or are you worth more?
Back on Friday, September 5 (before my moving experience knocked me far off-track)
I did Session 113, "Show Me the Money" with Ken Rolfsness. Throughout my conversations with
Ken before, during and after that Session, he kept mentioning his mentor, John Bentley.
So, I asked Ken to connect me with John so I could do a Session with him. Here it is.
John Bentley is flat-out fascinating for me (as I hope he will be for you, as well). To start with, the man's been in network marketing for 53 years! I've never met anyone who's been involved that long before. John began with Nutralite back in 1955. That's the the company that spawned Jay VanAndel, Rich DeVoss and Amway, and are generally credited with starting Multi-Level Marketing as we know it today. John's been with 45 companies in his career— which he says honestly and with genuine embarrassment, is "absolutely the wrong approach." John admits that his success is due in great part to consistently and persistently "failing forward." Today, he's a seven-figure annual income earner at the top of Tahatian Noni International (TNI) with a global network of more than 345,000 people in over 40 countries. He's been with the company from the very start. TNI offically opened for business on July 1 and John joined the next day. His distributor ID number is 08. That was 12 years ago.
People and team building are what's most important to John Bentley. His business is
built on relationships and partnerships. He makes the time to get to know people—
no matter how long it takes— and learn what's most important to them. And if there's
a fit, John brings them in and helps them build their business. He unabashedly believes
he has the very best product, the very best company and the very best opportunity in
the business— and that MLM is the very best way in the world to make money and have
fun doing it. I think John Bentely should be considered a Network Marketing National
(and International) Treasure.

Additional support material from
Acres of Diamonds
Early on in his MLM career, John was exposed to the rich culture of personal growth
that's such an integral part of network marketing. One of the first things that had
a powerful impact on him was the inspirational message "that this in country of ours
every man has the opportunity to make more of himself than he does in his own
environment, with his own skill, with his own energy, and with his own friends"
from Russell Conwell's classic speech "Acres of Diamonds." So, at John's request,
it's included here as your added bonus material.

About the Master
The next week he swapped shifts to get off Tuesday evening and attended his very first Multi Level Marketing home meeting. The year was 1995. The company was Nutralite— the great grandpa and grandma of all MLM generations to come.
John loved the fact that network marketing allowed you to build a sales staff without any payroll or employees. He'd grown up in his dad's Las Vegas' antique and souvenir shop on Freemont Street, so he knew what it usually took to hire and train a sales staff. He liked the product, Double X. He got a charge out of how friendly and fun they all were. He signed up there and then.
Now, 53 years later, John Bently is one of the most successful network marketers in the world. His organization of more than 345,000 people spans 41 countries around the globe. He's a Triple Diamond, Black Pearl, Marquesas Club, Independent Product Consultant with Tahitian Noni International.
John and his wife Laurie live in Orange County, California, where they pursue their passions for antiques. "We have five antique stores, and they feature a lot of trains," John said. He has also collected old cars, close to 500 dolls and over 2,000 toys. "The world of antiques is fun to be around," he said. Laurie collects Hallmark Christmas ornaments she has over 3,000 that are displayed year-round.
