Challenge -Day 22 Free Network Marketing Tips:
Becoming A Serving Leader
We only have one week to go until day 30!
Today I want to talk about a book that I read recently called ‘The Serving leader’ by John Stalwart and Ken Jennings. If you have a chance to pick it up, I highly recommend it. It covers a lot of fundamentals and tips. It especially makes you think about how to build a community or business. It really involves people from different audiences or niches by showing how to grow.
Today I was feeling a bit tired because I
had a lunch that wasn’t really the best for me
at Wing Stop. Basically I had fried food, with no
greens. I didn’t stick to my 90 day workout
routine. It just shows you that even I am
constantly struggling with trying to improve
myself. Sometimes this happens, but
tomorrow is a new day and I’m going to stick to
it and focus on my goals.
The book that I was talking about is so great because it really goes over a lot of fundamentals that you will learn in social media marketing. You grow and develop a sustaining team that will flourish and develop into something that almost has a mind of its own. What I like about the book is that it talks about leadership at a grass roots level. That’s one of the reasons I love social media too. It’s a tool that utilizes different opinion, concepts and voices to draw people together and build a community.
I like to think of it as a tribe. It brings
people together in a way that is collaborative.
It’s not just you barking order; it’s about
serving other people. That’s how I like to run
my business. It’s also how I teach other
people. The goal is to give value and insights
to the people you’re working with.
Some people take this out of context
because they think that it just means helping
everyone and anyone. I’m not saying that; you
still want to be selective. There are only so
many hours in a day, and only so many people
you can help. You have to be strategic. You
need to think about who deserves your time.
You can’t work with everyone; pick people that
will have the biggest impact or potential. I
talked about Poor Hungry with Desire
yesterday. Look for those people.
Think about how you want to structure
your business and develop it so that you can
continue to grow. It may even exceed your
wildest expectations. The way to do that is by
serving other people. You have probably
worked at organizations where we had bosses
that were just barking orders. They didn’t lead
by example; they just did their thing and told
us what to do. There was no feeling of
ownership. It wasn’t a feeling where we were
collectively working on a common cause.
At the same time, I worked in a network
marketing business where we had great
leaders, but teams started to implode because
the leaders weren’t really doing the work; just
demanding things. They weren’t leading and
showing people what to do on a daily basis to
get the results.
I think what happens often is that you
hit a certain point and you think that this is the
end result. Everything you have worked on up
to this point was just to get the money and
recognition. It’s seems artificial or sustainable.
There’s almost an emptiness. They talk about
all of these in the book. It’s one thing to have
all of those great things, but it’s different to
serve and impact the many.
John F. Kennedy also said, “How can you serve your country rather than your country serving you?” In this country there’s this mentality of entitlement. Everyone should be doing something for you and you do nothing in return. I think that’s the wrong approach to business. It creates an atmosphere of distrust and greed. If you want to develop a thriving business, you want to focus on how you can impact and help other people along the road to help them develop themselves; more importantly, showcase those results.
When I was going through this process,
I was at a junction in my life and I didn’t really
know how I could do this. I thought that maybe
I need to ultimately change the way that I’m
thinking or perceiving things. How can I have
better results and get the things I want, but
also be able to help other people? I came to
the conclusion that I needed to find mentors.
The real key to this is finding people that you
can relate to and that can help you. You need
to have the tools and resources to run with.
I’m opening up to 5 people that I want to work with over the next couple months and show them how they can get results in their business. I want to show them what they need to do to transform where they’re currently at, to where they want to go in the next 6-8 months. So if that’s you, I’d like you to fill out the survey that I’ve attached at the bottom of this video. It doesn’t require anything else, only about 10 minutes of your time. If it’s a good fit, and compatible, my assistant will give you a call to talk.
I challenge you to fill it out. I want to
help you grow and develop into whatever it is
you want to do. I want to help you achieve
financial success or even just personal
success. What I really love about this industry
is being able to impact and make some small
measure of success in someone’s life; to help
them transform their thinking. The first step is
to just start, do what you need to do, fill out
the information. I look forward to talking to you
very soon.
