How reliable are you?

If you had the chance to be coached (mentored) for free, to learn how to earn more money, are you reliable enough to follow instructions and do the tasks they assign to you?
Would you be more reliable if you had to pay them?

I enjoy learning new things especially how to earn more money :-) If I am interested in products and services, I will be eager to learn. Since I am interested in what they're offering, I am reliable enough to follow instructions and do the tasks -- no matter if it is free. Are you trying to do a survey, here? :-)

No survey... just wondering what fellow myLotters think about their reliability.
My experience is that most folks who say they want to do something and actually doing it... well it doesn't happen.
Is that unreliable or just not knowing what they really want?

It depends. (Obviously).
If I really am looking for another way to make money, as I was a little over a year ago, and the mentor was mentoring me in something that I did indeed want to learn (as was noted in your previous comment), then yes. I would definitly listen to them and do what I was told.
I did this, actually, about a year ago. I actually paid for it. But, the mentor supplied was not the mentor I was promised. I recieved very few actual instructions, just general concepts. I was very disappointed.
At this point, I would not be willing to pay money for the "opportunity". But, if it was free I would possiblly try it out and do what the mentor told me for a certain ammount of time. I guess I would expect the mentor to tell me up front how long it might take. If I found this acceptable, I would try it for that amount of time. But, if after that I had had no success, I would drop it and cut my loss of time. Also, I would want to know up front what kind of things I would be doing. I guess at this point in my life (since I was recently burned), I would be less likely to go out on a limb.
