Helped me more than anything!
I have been in network marketing for over ten years, failing miserably. I tried this company and that company. Wasn't going anywhere untill I bought this book and used it.
This book should be called "How To Become Brilliant on the basics" and subtitled "How To Unleash Your Potential in MLM." It sure did for me.

Eat the meat and spit out the bones...
Let me first say that my opinion of this book has changed dramatically as my career in MLM has progressed.
When the book was first released and I read it cover to cover, I thought it was going to be a panacea for me. It was clearly written, described lots of situations that I'd already encountered and just plain made sense.
As I've progressed...

Helped me more than anything!, September 29, 2005
This review is from: Your First Year in Network Marketing: Overcome Your Fears, Experience Success, and Achieve Your Dreams! (Paperback)
I have been in network marketing for over ten years, failing miserably. I tried this company and that company. Wasn't going anywhere untill I bought this book and used it.
This book should be called "How To Become Brilliant on the basics" and subtitled "How To Unleash Your Potential in MLM." It sure did for me.
Before reading "Your First Year in Network Marketing", I thought I would be lucky to get 100 people on my list. After reading what Mark said, I easily came up with a list of over 2,000 and the bst part is that those 2,000 know 2,000 who know 2,000 who know 2,000 and so on. I think it is true that if you know three people, you know everybodyelse in the world.
The affirmations were great and got me thinking bigger. The scripts were a great start, although I have midified them since then.
Overall a great book by Mark. I wonder how many other failed network marketers would do well if only they read (and applied) this wisdom?

A must read for all new MLM'ers, June 11, 2002
This review is from: Your First Year in Network Marketing: Overcome Your Fears, Experience Success, and Achieve Your Dreams! (Paperback)
If you are just getting started in Network Marketing, you need this book. I recommend this to everyone in my downline.I also recommend "Self Wealth" by Mark, "Self Matters" and "Life Strategies" by Phillip McGraw and "Turner, Turner, Turner: The King of Network Marketing" by Glenn W. Turner.

Eat the meat and spit out the bones..., September 4, 2004
This review is from: Your First Year in Network Marketing: Overcome Your Fears, Experience Success, and Achieve Your Dreams! (Paperback)
Let me first say that my opinion of this book has changed dramatically as my career in MLM has progressed.
When the book was first released and I read it cover to cover, I thought it was going to be a panacea for me. It was clearly written, described lots of situations that I'd already encountered and just plain made sense.
As I've progressed to a six-figure home-based income, it became increasingly clear that the main problem with this book is that much of it still boils down to the same basic advice that most MLM gurus have you doing: making lists of friends and family, doing milk-and-cookie parties in your home, doing three-way calls.
And, if you've been in MLM for more than 20 minutes, you probably know that most of those things probably don't create the results you're looking for.
Heck, it's not that hard to figure out: go find any top-earner in the business and you'll probably not see his friends and family anywhere in his business. And yet they always tell you to enroll your friends and family.
I gave the book THREE stars because I DO believe that it forwards alot of the same impractical thinking that is presented in most other MLM "how to" books.
Where this book DOES shine is in teaching you the proper mindset and posture of a professional networker which is as important as any of the nuts-and-bolts.
So, if you haven't got this book, I do suggest you get a copy. But, you can probably ignore the areas about warm marketing, cold-contacting strangers and doing drawing circles on whiteboards in your living room for prospects....it's not going to be the solution you think it is.

Great Book By Mark Yarnell - not just for newbies, September 28, 2005
This review is from: Your First Year in Network Marketing: Overcome Your Fears, Experience Success, and Achieve Your Dreams! (Paperback)
This book is great for making the most in your network marketing business. There is no doubt that home based businesses as a whole are exploding with network marketing heading that explosion.
In this book, Mark Yarnell shows you how to be all that you can be in MLM/Network Marketing. Mark shows you the ropes. What to avoid as well as what to do.
This book is not just for newbies, it is also excellent as a refresher for experienced networkers or even those who have been in the business and don't quite get it yet.
Mark has helped a lot of people and he can help you too.

If you like this book, you'll love Rene's newest release, January 28, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Your First Year in Network Marketing: Overcome Your Fears, Experience Success, and Achieve Your Dreams! (Paperback)
Doug Weed was right - this is the bible of network marketing for new networkers. It has really been a helpful support to me and so many others I know. I have read and reread it several times and feel it essential for first year networkers. But if you like this book, you'll love Rene's newest book for your prospects. It is called The New Entrepreneurs: Making a Living - Making a Life in Network Marketing. It does all the work for you to help anyone looking at network marketing overcome their resistance and seriously consider the industry without prejudice. Check it out. It's a book you'll find hard not to read in one sitting. And, although it is a business book, the stories are from the heart. I highly recommend The New Entrepreneurs as a means of building your network marketing business and Your First Year in Network Marketing once you've joined as a training tool. This will spare you the grief by teaching you what to do and, as important, what not to do.

First Steps To Success!, September 27, 2005
This review is from: Your First Year in Network Marketing: Overcome Your Fears, Experience Success, and Achieve Your Dreams! (Paperback)
I disagree with the reviewer who claims to be a 6 figure income earner in network marketing and disagrees with Mark Yarnell's warm approach to prospecting. I agree that warm leads should not be your only source, but it should always be your first choice.
The great Larry Thompson, responsible for creating more millionaires in network marketing than anybodyelse in history used to tell a story called "The Gold-Mine Story." Without going through the whole story, Larry tells us in his story that a lucky man has found a Gold-Mine but needs people to help him mine the gold. Larry says: "The guy needs help. Where he is going to get help? Run an ad? Pass out flyers? Go cold calling in malls? Put business cards on car windows? No he is going to go to his warm market."
The real problem with network marketing is that they do not develop the deadly serious "Gold-Mine" attitude so they don't want to approach their friends.
Another top trainer, Dale Calvert says; "Don't worry about them saying no to you, worry about them saying yes to someboy else." Calvert created a network marketing organization of more than 60,000.
Mark Yarnell is obviously not the only expert suggesting that you use your warm list. Isn't it funny how the arm-chair experts have all the answers, yet it's the Mark Yarnell's who write best selling books and get the results?
Besides Mark, I recommend any tape program by Dale Calvert or Larry Thompson that you can get your hands on. Thompson was probably the primary marketing force behind Herbalife in the 80s and their great comeback in the early 90s.

Good book Mark, July 18, 2002
This review is from: Your First Year in Network Marketing: Overcome Your Fears, Experience Success, and Achieve Your Dreams! (Paperback)
This book should, no, must be read by every new MLM'er. It is generic, but it's supposed to be. Do you know ow many MLM companies there are out there.I would like to comment on the post by the person from the USA who called this "pure hogwash". First, you soud like someone who joined a MLM company, but didn't want to work. That message comes out loud and clear from your words.Secondly, I have read obituries of Doctors, Lawyers, Insurancemen, auto salepeople etc who hav died, but never read of a mother who gave birth to a Dr., Lawyer, Salesperson etc. Success is predictable and achievable for those willing to go to work first on themselves and then o their businesses.Finally, a winner never quits and a quitter never wins. Be like a postage stamp---stick with it until you achieve your goals. This characteristic was called "stickability" by the late, great Napolean Hill. MLM works only if you do.This book is a great start. Also suggest "The Greatest SALESMAN in the World" by the late, great Og Mandino, "Wave 4" and "The Wave 4 way to building your downline" by Richard Poe.

Step By Step Masterpiece, November 20, 1999
This review is from: Your First Year in Network Marketing: Overcome Your Fears, Experience Success, and Achieve Your Dreams! (Paperback)
Mark and Renee Yarnell may be the most successful network marketing husband and wife team ever. They are on the faculty of the nation's only college certified course in network marketing at the University Of Illinois, Chicago. Mark and Renee have created a $70 million dollar network marketing organization that spans 20 countries. In this fantastic literary gem the authors map out exactly what is necessary for network marketing success. Some of the steps may seem enormous upon first take, but when one realizes that human nature makes people do the bare minimum, one can see why Mark and Renee demand so much. Quite simply, if you read this book over and over until you actually understand it, and act on the principles and actions suggested, you will succeed. And you will help many people succeed in the process. Thanks Mark and Renee, I'll see the two of you again at my book signing soon.
