The Lotus Code Bans New Year's Resolutions
by Mark Yarnell
In a few days millions of people will engage in their favorite annual exercise in futility known to us all as the New Years Resolution.
In my first fifty years of life, I never accomplished one. I set countless objectives using the beginning of a new year as a starting point, and never failed to abandon each noble cause well before it came to fruition.
But youll be happy to know that Lotus Code practitioners can expect to achieve every single New Years desire by replacing resolutions with habits. Thats what I figured out several years ago and since that revelation, no objective has gone unfulfilled.
Think of habits as actions that are nearly impossible to break and resolutions as thoughts nearly impossible to implement.

The Lotus Code: Timeless Wisdom for Accelerated Prosperity
by Mark Yarnell
Two and a half centuries ago a system of thought became popularized because the most unlikely of all leaders adopted it and spent his life teaching its value to others.
What made the body of thought so sensational was the simple fact that the young man who proposed it actually renounced a life of pleasure and luxury which was already his by birthright.
Instead of kicking back and enjoying a life of power and wealth, this young man gave up his prosperity and began a lecture tour which emphasized the fulfillment of effort rather than the end result. While he never denounced material prosperity and in fact advanced success as a worthy objective, he was essentially concerned with the process itself. The essence of his teaching was focus on the now.
What makes The Lotus Code so relevant in today is world is the fact that fragmentation and distractions have led so many people astray. The multi-tasking battle cry of technology has led millions of people to conclude that by dividing their thinking and multiplying their focus, they can achieve personal prosperity and therefore, fulfillment.
People pride themselves in activities which involve...

Today's Networkers Face New Challenges
by Mark Yarnell
Todays networkers face an entirely new set of challenges. These challenges require a serious shift in strategies.
For a decade now, the entire technology sector has promoted the infantile trinity of easy, simple and fast calculated to attach emotions and quasi-gratification to products and services whose functional benefits are completely irrelevant.
People must learn to turn off all technology for a couple of hours each day and focus on relationship building through face-to-face and verbal interaction or they are destined to fail in todays network marketing environment.
Networkers must realize that their best target age group is individuals born before 1964. Why? Because boomers are the most desperate for opportunity and the least distracted by technology.
People must start...

How to Achieve over $100,000 per Month in 21st Century Networking
by Mark Yarnell
Earning $100K a month in today's world requires the same laser focus as always, but there's just
one catch: celebrity authors and technology mega-corporations are financially committed to keeping
everyone distracted. Multi-tasking is just another way of saying "fragmented effort."
Multiple streams of income require multiple disciplinary wisdom and competitive expertise in a wide
range of specialties. Unfortunately, American young people rank 24th out of 29 developed countries
when it comes to competitive thinking skills according to The Organization for Economic Cooperation a
nd Development test of problem solving skills demanded in today's workforce.
I could go on and on about the many distractions we face today, but I'd rather that you read Maggie
Jackson's new bestseller Distractions. She's brilliant.
I must tell you that in my upcoming Webinar, I intend to hold nothing back. If the truth offends...

Insurmountable Opportunities
by Mark Yarnell
The challenge in network marketing has never been a shortage of prospects. The challenge has always been the fact that everyone on planet earth wants to achieve big money and free time, and distributors are forced to make choices in an environment of insurmountable opportunities.
Simply put, there are too many prospects and too little time. In fact, it’s so daunting that many people become overwhelmed and begin engaging in activities that are totally unproductive so that they can eventually defend their failure by pretending that they just didn’t have a good upline or no one taught them how to succeed.
Others blame their companies, products or unsupportive families. Some decide to become full-time...

Bombs Away
by Mark Yarnell
When we first launched our Holy Grail of Network Marketing Collection, we made the very important decision to tell the truth no matter whom it might offend. Simply put, my job is to tell the truth no matter whom it offends so long as I am irrevocably convinced of its accuracy. That's the approach I take with respect to the numerous landmines in Networking.
I believe that new business builders deserve to know just how difficult prospects and team members can be so that they will be better prepared to cope with them. Many leaders disagree with me because they say they don't want new distributors to get discouraged by all the land mines in their paths. But the mines...
