Guess what…it’s a trick question. Want to know why? Because you determine whether you are a leader or whether you aren’t at any given moment of your life with your actions. It’s not something you can say “yea sure, I’m a leader.”

So what does it mean to be a leader? First, it means you have firmly made the resolution within yourself that you will rise to the challenges of your life, and meet them with the leadership mentality.

The mentality that there is no obstacle you cannot overcome, no challenge which you can not endure, and no problem that will cause you to give up your goals.

The leadership mentality is simple. It’s having the confidence and belief that if you truly focus your mind on something you will have success…and you KNOW that you can help other people do the exact same thing.

Leadership in network marketing is absolutely crucial. We are in an industry that revolves around people becoming leaders, building organizations, and creating more leaders. If you aren’t a leader yourself…you will have a very difficult time to get thousands of people to follow you in your business.

When you ARE a leader, thousands of people will see that and follow you at will. Leaders are the ones who make all the big money in network marketing AND YOU DON’T have to be just one kind of leader.

There are all sorts of leaders, with many different styles. Some outspoken, some not so loud and in the limelight. But the defining characteristic of a leader comes down to HOW MUCH they help EMPOWER the people who are in their organization.

How much do they HELP their people believe in themselves, build their confidence, and execute the tasks that create us money in this industry efficiently.

That is the purpose of a leader…knowledge and execution.

So how do you become a leader you say? Simple…YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE ONE.

Now here are some things that can help you believe you are a leader.

1. When you are in the trenches everyday working hard FOR YOURSELF, you will feel powerful, resourceful, and determined.

2. When you continuously empower yourself, educate yourself, and inform yourself then you will know you have value to offer others. Always be reading the newest books, taking important courses, or staying connected with people in the field who know what is working RIGHT NOW. Plug yourself in to empowerment and watch yourself grow.

3. Give back. Do things selflessly for other people. Show yourself how kind and caring you really are. Open up your heart and take on a servitude attitude, like you are truly on this planet to help…and that’s what you really want.

Let the joy of helping another person to reach their goals, overcome a sickness, or get through a hard time be one of the most important things in your life…and you will know you are a leader.

I am absolutely making you a promise right now. If you do these things,if you work on these things every day, you will be rewarded with everything you ever really wanted in life. I promise.

The deciding factor to whether or not you build a huge network marketing organization, whether you feel satisfied with what you have done while you were on this planet, or whether you help lots of people will be YOUR DEDICATION to living this kind of life.

How earnest are you? Some will hear this and make no changes. Some will hear this and it will cause yet another little shift inside them. The accumulation of those “little shifts” eventually turns into a BIG SHIFT. One day, you will look back and say “wow, I have come so far, and I am so happy with myself.”

But that won’t happen unless you start taking action right now. Unless you start implementing changes in your life to become the leader you know you can be. If you don’t do that…don’t expect anything very new to come into your life.

You get what you give. Start giving incredible things to this world and you will get incredible things back.

All the best to you all.
