Are you a
'leader follower?' Are you stepping in the path laid out by the 'guru' network
marketers, the top-producers and seven-figure earners, and the top leaders in
your organization?
My kids were
watching Peter Pan and the song 'Following the Leader' came on. It goes like
this: "We're following the leader, the leader, the leader, we're following
the leader, wherever he may go!"
Wherever he
may go. Seriously?
The problem
with leadership in network marketing, is that most new business associates want
to follow the leaders before they are able to establish their own leadership.
While most are also completely new to the industry, it is astute to gain
knowledge from the experienced mentors, learn the strategies and actions that
work for others, and then reproduce their successful outcomes.
The network
marketing industry relies strongly on duplication. We tell people that if they
copy the actions of their successful mentors, they will produce the same
results. Nevertheless, being a successful business owner in network marketing
and mentor to others also requires leadership, integrity and personal power. So
when does one branch out?
The
difficult thing about following others, is that we all go through a different
journey. We all hold different talents, strengths, inspiration, hearts, dreams
and goals. No matter how wealthy or successful your mentor is, what they do may
not work for you, or may not help you achieve your own goals. What THEY do
creates results for THEM and THEIR ambitions. There are no carbon-copies in
replicating success as network marketers. It's too personal.
So here is
'The Big Question' for my fellow network marketers:
Are you
branching out as a leader, and following a plan that will be successful for
YOU, harness YOUR strengths, cultivate YOUR passion, fulfill YOUR heart,
respect YOUR integrity, and allow for the realization of YOUR greatest dreams?
