To be a leader of others you first must be a leader of yourself. True leaders are brave enough to stand at the front of their lives. They are not prepared to sit back and just watch the world go by: they want to be that world going by. You need to lead yourself to your desired outcome. This means getting out of your comfort zone, putting yourself out in the action and striding purposefully forward.

A leader expects to win. They expect success of themselves and of others. True leaders play Full Out! They follow Principles 1-4 confidently and consistently and know that they are guaranteed results. Every step they take is one that will move them in the direction of their goals.

You don’t have to already have a team of people in order to lead. When you start leading yourself and start ‘being’ a leader you will find that soon enough a team of people will be following you. After all, people only want to follow someone who is going somewhere. Your objective then is to bring out the best in them. You are willing to pay the price of success and so you expect others to pay the same price of success. Therefore you will be cultivating an expectation of their leadership.

A true leader is one who walks their own path and maintains that path through faith, courage and perseverance. Their eyes are fixed firmly on the goal ahead of them. They do not look back to see what the herd are doing behind them and their path is not blocked by anyone else in front of them.  A true leader is doing what the herd are too scared to do. Find any successful person and you’ll find a person who carved their own path. They did it their way and dared to do more than the average, to stick their neck out, to take the risks and be the leader of themselves first.

When becoming a leader the most important quality you can ever develop that will enhance every part of your life and help you become a leader, is the value of integrity. Integrity is the core value of a successful and happy life. Having integrity means being totally honest and truthful in every part of your life. A true leader makes a commitment to become a totally honest person and in doing so ensures that they will be doing more to create success and happiness in their life.

A person of high integrity always carries out the highest quality of work in everything they do. They are totally honest with themselves and strive to excellence on every occasion. They realize everything they do is a statement about who they are as a person. A person of high integrity leads their own life. They live on purpose and in doing so inspire others to do the same.

As you act with integrity in everything you do, you will find that every part of your life will improve. You will begin to attract the best people and situations into your life. You will become an outstanding person as well as a success in everything you do. You attract into your life who and what you are being. If you are being a leader you will then attract leaders.

Whatever it is you want to achieve in your life you need to ask yourself ‘What do I have to do to play full out?’ Do you need to invest at the highest level of your business so that you can be rewarded at the highest level? Do you need to volunteer to run the meetings, so your worth in your company grows and alongside that the roles you play?

Being a leader means figuring it out and knowing for yourself. It means playing full out, having integrity, being the best you can be and expecting the same of all those who cross your path.

Success in network marketing will come to you much easier when you follow certain success principles. These 5 principles I will be discussing over the next several blogposts. 

With any business or any task you take on in life it is essential to know where you are going. 

 “If you don’t know where you are going, you’ll end up someplace else.” Yogi Berra  

Knowing your destination will enable you to move in the right direction. This principle is really the foundation for all the other principles. They rely on this one to be effective. There are 3 steps involved in this principle.

1. Set Goals

When setting goals it is very important to get completely clear on what it is you want. One way to ensure your clarity is to focus on your why. Why do you want to have success in network marketing? What is the destination for? If it’s a million dollars you want – why do you want it? what will you use it for?

When it comes time to write your goals, be very specific and detail orientated. Write as if the goal has already been achieved. Put a time on it as to when you would like the goal to be achieved by and then add some extra power by writing how grateful you are to have it.Write your goal down on a card and carry it with you, reading it throughout the day many times. Doing this will help you to get back on track, stay focused during tough times and remind you of all the great things on their way to you.

2. Visualization: Moving from Goal Setting to Goal Getting

Every day you should take some quiet time to meditate and visualize your goals. When you visualize you need to see yourself already in the possession  of the goal you seek. The key here is repetition and consistency.

Visualizing can be done at any time of the day or night. It’s when you find a quiet time to really see in your mind’s eye, your life as you would like it to be. The key to visualization is to really make it come alive through your five senses, just like any great novelist would do.

The key to powerful visualization is the feelings you attach to it. Pretend that you have your goal right now. How do you feel? Now tap into these strong emotions and feel them deep down inside your core and don’t let go. Increase the strength and intensity and you will increase the power and certainty of achieving your goal!

3. Acknowledgement and Gratitude

It is important that throughout the whole journey of your goal actualization you stop to take time to acknowledge all your wins, big and small. Every goal will consist of smaller goals and steps you need to take to get to your final destination. Acknowledging your achievements will help to fuel your resolve and enthusiasm to keep moving forward in your network marketing business. It will help you to develop confidence and belief in yourself and your goals.

One aspect of acknowledgement is expressing gratitude.You will feel powerful and happy when you spend moments throughout the day in gratitude for all you have achieved in your network marketing business. When we are grateful for what we already have in life, it opens up the path to attract more. Expressing all you are thankful for everyday is an opportunity for you to tap into the power of gratitude – the King of All Virtues.

Remember, it is also very important to express gratitude with your intentions. This is when you give thanks for all the great things in your life that are on their way to you. Think about your goal and focus on it already being realized and give gratitude for its arrival. Act as if it is already yours through your thanks for it. The more thankful you are the more the Universe will bring you to be thankful for. Remember the more you can intensify the feelings of your thanks the more you can utilize the magic of the Universe to help bring what you want into existence.

Most Internet and network marketers state the  preference that they would like an abundance of leads flowing into their business daily. It’s something they would really like to happen. The fact is that only a small percentage of marketers actually commit to having an abundance of leads flowing into their business daily.

That is why only 5% of people within the industry become seven figure income earners. Most people aren’t prepared to do whatever it takes to explode their business. That means that those who are committed have such a wide, fruitful field to pick from. There is unlimited leads and income potential for those that are committed to their business as the competition is so much less.

Why is it That Most People Don’t Commit?

Fear: Most people let their fears hold them back. They are afraid of failure or afraid of success. They are afraid to put themselves on the line in case it doesn’t work out. For the committed marketer the fear is real but it is swallowed up by sheer desire to be a success no matter what. The fear of not being in the top 5% drives them to do whatever it takes especially if it involves putting themselves out there and on the line.

Lack of Belief: The majority of marketers believe it won’t work for them due to their limiting beliefs. They may try it and not receive results immediately and so resign themselves to the fact it won’t work and give up. The committed marketer uses the results of others to cement in them the belief that they can do it too. They find a profitable success formula to follow.

Lack of Knowledge: The committed marketer will not let this stand in their way. They will do whatever it takes to learn what they need to rise to the top and then apply it. Lack of knowledge is no excuse as there is always someone who is doing it who you can learn from. Committed marketers find a marketing and training system they can use to create their knowledge and success.

Lack of Money: Before social media marketing, this may have been a valid reason to a certain extent. There are so many avenues available today for the savvy marketer to learn and apply free marketing techniques to generate an abundance of leads. My mentor and friend, David Wood, is one of those who went from broke to over 100 quality leads a day in 3 months applying free article marketing techniques. Lack of money is an issue of the past.

Lack of Time: Investing time into your business is essential for you to have success. The majority of marketers aren’t prepared to find the time to dedicate to their marketing. The committed marketer will do what ever it takes to re-organize their schedule so they can fit in the vital tasks needed to explode their business. If this is your area of struggle here is a inspirational quote that may help move you forward:

‘Dreams are not meant for sleeping. Your dreams should be keeping you awake at night‘ ~ Yossi Ghinsberg

It’s just too hard: So is being poor. The committed marketer understands that the path to your goals involves difficult terrain but at the end of it lies the pot of gold. Their why is strong enough to keep moving forward no matter what and find a way around the obstacles.  ‘Your Essential Compass: The 5 Guiding Principles of Success’ is an ebook that can help you get past these obstacles.
