I had a very productive evening the other night. Google blogsearch was nice enough to lead me to Mark Yarnell's blog. I've read a few of his books in the past, but a lot of his recent thoughts on this blog really resonated with me ...
If you are approached by anyone who suggests that you join a second program…run. I don’t care what they call it. You need to focus on one deal until you hit the big checks. If lead lists worked, your company would provide them for free. After all, everyone wants to earn big money so it’s very easy to find the names of such people.

Remember above all else, the reason for this iblog and my free Yarnell Sizzle Call is to empower Networkers. Why? Because we are the last hold outs in the effort to dumb-down America.

When I get home, I'm going to order Mark's HolyGrail training series (not an affiliate link) ... I'll make a few posts later on my impressions.
Oh yea, about the title of this post. It's a free call that Mr Yarnell recorded and put online: click here. I found it very thought provoking.
Give it a listen, and let me know what you think ...
Where you can ...
