What Makes You An MLM Leader


Exactly what makes leaders different? How can you look into the future to see who will rise from follower status to becoming a recognized leader--- someone who is widely accepted as a guru?

Most people would agree that when you see a leader, you see certainty, passion, and enthusiasm. As long as you see those things, that person inspires confidence in others. It's not real scientific, but I imagine you've noticed the same thing. Man or woman, the person who exudes confidence is easy to follow. And what about the people without it? You hardly even notice them.

What this means is, to be a leader you need to be sure that what you do makes a difference. Perfection is not as much of a requirement, as long as you act with passion. As NBA great Charles Barkley wrote, “I could be wrong, but I doubt it.” That is the thought of an inspiring leader.

Anyone with a burning desire to be successful will stay away from people in doubt. To attract the right people to your network marketing business, you need to act with clarity and certainty. That will make you magnetic.

A smart leader knows that you can't make anyone do anything for long. People must first believe in you to follow you, or what you do will fall apart. You must tell them exactly what results to expect, and spotlight a step-by-step plan for them to achieve them.

Do everything in your power to make it as easy as possible for each of your team members to walk (or run) on his or her chosen path. When you truly capture the minds and hearts of your team members, they subscribe to your plan and commit to their assigned roles… because by doing so, they move closer to what THEY want.
