Skating the Infosphere

In the corporate world, there seems to be a misconception that leadership is about telling your staff what to do. This is not leadership. By definition leaders lead. And this is true in Network Marketing.They don’t push. If you have a horse and you want it to go in a particular direction, you take hold of the reins, move in that direction and the horse follows. You don’t try to push it. It will resist and you may well end up with a hoof in the chest!

In network marketing (sometimes known as multilevel marketing / mlm) the best leaders lead. They take the reins. They lead by example, doing whatever it takes to achieve the goals that they have set. Their team sees what they are doing and what they are achieving and follow their example.

Be a leader, don’t push your team into the unknown, pull them along with you and they will enjoy the journey.

They say attitude is everything. In a network marketing (MLM) business, this is perhaps more so than in normal life. Having been involved in, and studied network marketing for a number of years, I have identified 6 winning attitudes of all of the multilevel marketing leaders that I have ever come across.

Drive - True leaders drive. They are the driving force of their teams; they drive themselves to new limits, treating their business as if it was the last chance they had of success.

Pride - MLM leaders have pride in themselves, in their company and in the network marketing business in general. This is conveyed to others in their teams and to prospects they speak to.

Hunger - Networking leaders yearn to learn while they earn (:-). They read books, attend trainings, listen in on conference calls. They network with other leaders and are always open to learning from them.

Focus - Leaders know the importance of planning. They make a plan and stick to it, doing the important things first. All of their activity is focused on the task at hand. It takes discipline, but the results speak for themselves.

Enthusiam - Be the most enthusiastic person you know. That is how all of the best network marketers I know come across, and it is infectious. It energises their teams and it leads to better recruitment and higher sales.

Patience - Anybody involved in the network marketing industry should be aware that success does not happen overnight. It takes time to build soild foundations, but don’t quit before you reach the tipping point. This is when you have reached the top of the hill and are about to free-wheel down the other side. Put in a lot of hard work initially for little reward, then you can work a little and enjoy massive rewards.

Here’s to you success - Dave
