Leadership

Somebody told me the other day that I was a great leader. I appreciate the sentiment but encouraged her to think that of herself as well!

See, this woman is about twice my age and just joining Network Marketing for the first time. She's affluent, has a great network of people she knows, and plenty of business experience.

Her mindset right now is that she is a "newbie."

On the contrary...

The mind of a leader happens before the destination.

Meaning, it's not the endpoint, but it's the process.

Leadership Development is one of the highest skill levels to obtain in our industry and the most underutilized.

People spend thousands to learn how to Prospect & Close their way to millions. And that's all well and good.

But if they put as much focus or more, into becoming a great leader and obtaining the qualities people are looking for - they wouldn't need to close. Prospects would close themselves.

I was thinking of some of the qualities that makes a great leader.


1. Communication - Duh.

2. People skills - Do you work well with others? Probably not as well as you think. Read "How to Win Friends & Influence People" monthly.

3. Knowing personality types, how to define them, motivate and encourage them, and appeal to them

4. Collaboration - a great leader says "Let's go do it!" not "You go do it!"

5. Consistency - a bad leader doesn't stay the path. They change directions and messages often.

6. Caring - people don't care about how much you know until they know how much you care.


Tomorrow I'm going to share a video that goes into more detail about why I think becoming a leader should be your number one goal in business. And how it's essential for duplication.


To Your Success!
