Bestselling author of “Your First Year In Network Marketing” and “Self Wealth”, Mark Yarnell wrote these books that have been classics in the Multi-Level Marketing industry for a long time. The other day I had the chance to view a webinar based on principles that allow him to make an impressive lifestyle for himself through the network marketing industry. In this article, I wanted to share with you some things that I learned.

Mark Yarnell, first of all, is not your usual networker. Duplication is king’ is a ridiculous idea to Mark Yarnell in the Multi-Level Marketing business. He gets straight to the point and teaches that if you want to be a leader in your MLM business, it doesn’t matter whether you copy your upline leader or not.

He said ‘What matters is that you sponsor as many distributors as you possibly can, AND give people the training that they need to achieve their dreams IF they choose to listen.’ And remember, “New blood is the life blood of any new organization. Continually sponsoring new associates adds vitality to an entire business.”

A few years ago when I was struggling in my own Multi-Level Marketing business, I started to search out other successful networkers by coming across Mark’s books and I read his controversial views on MLM duplication. To my dismay, Mark Yarnell was simply telling the truth of how he built his networking business by not totally following what his upline was doing.

Mark Yarnell simply found out that the success behind the best networkers around the world built their network marketing business in a unique way that was based solely on their own set of beliefs and skill sets. Now there are a handful of similarities between top producers, but the fact is that their methods are entirely different, REGARDLESS of what any Multi-Level Marketer has ever taught you.

One of the important facts I learned from reading Mark Yarnell’s books and through this webinar is that the Multi-Level Marketing industry is all about the numbers. There are all kinds of ways we can try and justify other explanations, but the truth is that if you look into any MLM organization in the world, approximately one out of every 30 people who join an MLM business go nuts and start making a few thousand dollars a month. About one out of every 100 people make a six figure income in most companies, and about one out of every thousand people hit the mid six figures to seven figure level annually. In any Multi-Level or direct sales business, these numbers will vary.

By continuously prospecting and recruiting more associates into your business you end up building an organization that will sustain a comfortable living.

This principle is like nature. You can’t fight against a tidal wave in nature, you either have to get out of the way or ride the wave. Network Marketing is the same. Take a hard look at your company and your business, and take a look at what has actually produced, and you’ll find that the numbers are the same. One out of five people sponsors a few people, one out of thirty sponsors a LOT of people, and one out of 100 are absolutely nuts with the amount that they produce.

One other important thing to note is that you should never feel ashamed to be a part of this great industry and business model. Mark Yarnell’s direct quote from this webinar was:

“Don’t think for a minute that there’s any profession out there that’s more admiral then network marketing. It’s not so much the issue of how you go about becoming wealthy. It’s more about do you understand how blessed you are to be apart of a legitimate profession where instead of starting at the bottom of the pyramid like Microsoft and trying to claw your way to the top, you start at the top of your own pyramid and elevate others by lifting them up. You know this is a wonderful, dynamic, creative, honest, high integrity, core value profession.”

One way to find out the keys to long term success is to study successful people. The easiest way for me to accomplish this is by studying the books that successful people write because it reveals what it is that they do and how they think. This reveals how they accomplish so much more in a shorter period of time than the average person.

There was a study conducted by Dr. Edward Banfield in 1970 and his goal was to find out why some people become financially secure during their lifetime. He discovered that the major reason for success was their particular attitude of mind or as he put it, a “long time perspective.” He discovered that people who were the most successful in their life and the most likely to achieve financial security were those who took their future into perspective with every decision they made today. And it was this attitude of mind that made them more likely to achieve a high level of success in their career and business.

For example, let’s take a look at a doctor’s career. A doctor must invest many years in terms of hard work and study before they are given the right to practice medicine. They have to graduate from college and then earn the right for an internship, residency and then practical training. This could take up to 12 years before they start earning a decent living and become respected in their particular field of medicine. This is what it means to have a long term perspective.

Whenever you set priorities you must consider the potential long term impact on your life.  For example, let’s consider the Law of Sacrifice. This law states you must give something up of a lower value to gain something of a higher value. If you come home from a days work and choose to upgrade your skills to advance your career instead of watching the TV, then you are considering the long term impact on your future, which will greatly benefit you. Every sacrifice that is made today will be rewarded with compound interest to expand your future.

A clear quality of any high performing person is their ability to be “action oriented”.

Take Time to Think and Plan
One characteristic that automatically goes along with “action oriented” people is their ability to take the necessary time to think, plan and set priorities. Their approach towards their goals and objectives is quick and strong. The massive amounts of work they go through takes about the same time an average person will take who spends time socializing, wasting time and working on low priority tasks. This allows them to work steadily, smoothly and continuously.

Getting into “Flow”
There is a mental state called “flow”. This is where highly successful people work on high value tasks at a continuous level of activity. To continue to be successful they must get themselves into this state far more often then the average person. This mental state we call “flow” is considered to be the top human state of performance and productivity. Once you are in this state you feel elated, clear, happy and energetic. And everything you do will seem effortless to you.

How You Can Trigger The “Flow” State
You can trigger this “Flow” state by developing a “sense of urgency.” This “sense of urgency” comes from an inner drive and desire to get on with the desired task quickly so you can achieve it faster. This inner drive is caused by an impatience that motivates you to get going and to keep going.

Create a “Preconceived Notion for Action”
Now once you develop this deep-rooted sense of urgency, you actually develop a “preconceived notion for action.” Instead of talking continually about what you are going to do, you actually take consistent action. You begin to focus on specific steps you can take immediately and by employing this technique you concentrate on the things you can do immediately to achieve the goals you desire.

Exercises to Develop this “Sense of Urgency”
Below are a couple of things you can implement immediately to put these ideas into action:

- Select a major task facing you and begin immediately to start tackling it. Do not hesitate. Just move fast.
- Begin immediately by doing this every morning, first thing, until it becomes a habit.
