I was at a leadership event this past weekend and I heard some of the basics of building strong teams in our network marketing companies.
MLM Basics inspired by Tom Big Al Schreiter:
1. Learn how to talk to people.
2. Find people to talk to.
3. Take the volunteers.
The second impactful simple truth was this:
We all understand that in order to become a great leader, you must become a great follower. One of the leaders at the meeting pointed out that she really makes no conscious effort in being a leader, but in following and doing what other leaders do. Simple, I realize, but that is the point. Another leader shared that as one concentrates their effort in following other successful people, pretty soon, one can look behind them and “Lo and behold there are people following you!”
My local church’ mantra is Folloow-Lead-Serve. The more I see that on the wall, the more I ponder it, the more I realize it applies to every area of my life, and of course to my business. Jesus’ disciples followed Him and learned and observed. After His return to Heaven, they were the leaders that others began to follow. That has continued to this day.
And of course, leadership without servanthood in life and specifically in network marketing, is really not leadership at all.
Hope these simple reminders inspire you to keep following those in your circle or outside that are where you want to be in your business.
To your success,
