What Are The Five Levels Of Leadership?

Position means that people are going to follow you because they are obligated to do so. That means that your influence is not going to go any further beyond your job description. The longer you stay here more people are going to do things because they need to do so and when it is not necessary they will say no.
Permission means that people are going to follow you because they would like to do so. That gives you a chance to make your work fun. If you stay too long here the people who like doing the things that they enjoy become restless and will go elsewhere.
Production is that people are following you because of the impact your work has on the organization. Right here people can sense that you have been successful. They like you as a person and the things that you have done. It is easy to fix the problems here due to momentum.
People Development is where long term growth happens. When you committ to develop leaders it will ensure the ongoing growth to your organization and to people. You must do whatever it takes to accomplish and remain at this level.
Finally Personhood. This is a step that is reserved for leaders who have been growing people and organization for years. Very few people make it and those who do are considered bigger than life.

Make Your Desire With Vision Or Die!!!

You must have a desire with your vision or else you are dead. Your dreams has to be more then money. Dreams has to be what you really want in life. Your life style. Think about when you want to have your own dream car. Lets say it is a Ferrari. You can't just say I want a Ferrari. Wanting just turns into wishful think. You need to visualize sitting in the comfortable driver seat and driving it down to the place you love. Put pictures on there and visualize yourself having it first thing in the morning by looking at it for two minutes and the last two minutes at night take another look at it. If you focus every single day on what is in the car for a couple of minutes then subconcisiously and say self talk, like I am having fun building my business so that I can get my Black Ferrari and you take the appropriate actions each day, the universe is then going to give you what you want. It will tell you that this guy took the massive action to get this car, he saw himself winning the car and he did it!!! It works like this because there is always something for something and there aint no something for nothing!!!!

How To Attract Money Using The Law Of Attraction

Today I have listened to a CD called the Secret Of Attracting Money Written By Joe Vitale. I learned that it does not have to do with how the economy is, or if you have a job or not, it has to do with you. Five years ago he gave advice to a guitarist who could not even pay his rent. The reason is because he has traveled all over the country and in Europe playing music & just getting $50 for the performance and not making $ through royalties. The guitarist changed what he was doing by listening to Joe Vitale, by him making several CD's of orginal music that he composed and sold it in a seminar to people in just a few hours!!! He earned a bang. Then later a million copies were sold of it!!!
I also learned that you have to believe you can have something before starting to take action 100%. Then you have to start visulalizing yourself being the successful person you want to be. Afterwards you have to just keep doing it and doing it until the job gets done because success love speed!!! You must remember though to be detatched to the outcome, by not needing to have the money. If you need the money people can smell desperation even those who are not involved with you and they will either taunt you or avoid you like the plague. You do not want to have that!!! But that still does not mean that you twiddle with your thumbs and do nothing.
You want to just go for it no matter how long it takes and when you do it, you then do not stop!!!!

Difference Between A Great Leader and A Non Leader

The difference between a great mlm leader and an unleader is this. A great leader is someone who is plugging into the training calls, does what his mentor tells him he needs to do to get to where he wants to go to and takes massive action which brings massive results. A leader is someone who is clearing his mind in all situations and not letting anything or anybody control his life. He is asked to do requests that does not have to do with his business and he knows how to say no.
If you have trouble getting that consider this. A woman says that her time is limited. She is always clear about that. Especially when it comes to dating guys and even being a friend of theirs. She knows how to seperate the guys who are leaders from the guys who pester her, which she considers the followers. The woman knows that the guy who does things for her to keep her from moving forward, just to get her attention is not worth her time. There is almost always another guy in the picture. She approaches the guy who is busy and tells her that I am busy right now working or whatever, can you call me later. That is because he is intelligent not only socially but he is selective of how much time he can spend with her and does not react to the things that tend to ruin his day and stress him. He also is someone to follow because he knows what he is doing and has a mission to accomplish.
A non leader is someone who questions everything, has to get things proven over and over again, procrastinates and responds to all requests instead of taking priorities. He is the one who blames others when things do not go well and he does not prioritize. He also has trouble saying no for fear that others will not hang out with him anymore. That is why the women laugh at the non leaders and when they see him they will run!!!!
In network marketing you need to be a leader and go select the most busiest people you know. They are the ones who can be more likely trusted than the non busy ones. They know that they have a set schedule on when is work time, when is their business time and when is their free time. They are not the ones who behave like alcoholics and watch the television when others do just to get their mind ruined. They are the ones who will do the presentation and will ask how can I make the time to do it when they have limited time.

What Does Your Past And Jimmy Hoffa Have In Common?

Your Past And Jimmy Hoffa are both dead. Are you reliving your past failures? If yes than stop it. You are destroying yourself and it does you no good. Get yourself on the thirty day mental cleanse when you plug into the Mentoring For Free System. You must say your self talk 100 times a day for you to forget the past. When you focus on that then the positive emotions take over and the negativity is gone!! Avoid negative people as much as possible. They do not have anything better to do with their lives. Just bother you to get their attention. Remember that people who are small talk about other people because they do not have a topic. The small minded people do not want to get ahead in life. They remain the followers and they are the ones who say what you see is what you get.

That is not the case with intelligent people. Your thoughts are the things that you want but your actions determine what you get. Lets say you take massive action then you get massive results!!!!

The intelligent people are the ones who talk about thoughts and ideas to move forward. They know why are they building their business. They have a definite purpose and a goal. To reach it they ask the person who already has accomplished what they want so that they know how to get there. Think about golf. You would not want to ask someone who never even played golf. You would go to the champion golfer who has done very well at it.

If you have a past memory or anything that bothers you put it behind you. It rents space inside your head. You want to be with people who empower you. It is not going to be easy to do that at the beginning. You have to accept the hard fact of the slight edge philosophy that there are people whom you are now spending two hours with that you must only spend two minutes with. And that there are people whom you are spending two minutes with that you have to spend two hours. And some people you have to dissassociate with entirely. That does not mean cutting them out of their life completely. But quality relationships deserve quality time and casual relationships deserve casual time.

How Can We Create Our Own Tommorow?

We can create our tommorow like this. I have an old childhood aquaintance who wanted be a doctor since he was five years old. I first heard about that from his sister and mom when I saw them in Target. Man I thought it was amazing that he did not give up on his dream. He just finished medical school and next year he will start working as a doctor.

Most of the people out there have been programmed by society to go out there and make a living. Life does not work that way. People go to work because they have to, not because they want to. Therefore they are barely into it.

It is pathetic that we buy into other peoples thoughts and ideas not our own. We need to work harder on ourselves than we do on our businessses. People join people, they do not join companies. People do not care if the president of the company is a family man who owns four houses. Prospects care about their problems. The two things the prospects have in their mind is this. Can I do this and can you teach me?

It is also sad that we take for granted self development books. We need to read 15 minutes a day a good book that enlighten us. People can feel if we are smiling in person, on the phone and even on e-mail.

Lets learn from my old childhood aquaintance that nothing can stop us from dreaming. What is in it for us? Why should only a guy who wanted to be a doctor have his dream come true.? Why can't we show everybody who we know that we are a tiger? Lets get out there and do it, and do it, and do it, till the job gets done!!!

Remember we need to know how we got there and we must avoid being attached to the outcome or getting it to our head. Think about the 80's when no baseball team won two World Championship Series in a row. That is because they got it to their head and held on to their past glory. That is when we have a goal accomplished, lets set a bigger goal as well!!!

Avoid Excusemakers Or Get Destroyed!!!!

The people who make excuses that things can not be done do not know what they are talking about. Lets say people say that they do not have time to start their own business. That is an excuse. An excuse is filled with a lie behind it. Take for instance the busy real estate broker who works 12-14 hours per day selling million dollar houses 7 days a week. He does not listen to anybody who does not have time. He makes the time to work his business by sacrificing his lunch hour and right after work the first hour he dedicated to his business even if it is 9:00 PM at night. That is how he answers the question as to how can he make the time to build his business to enjoy the life style with his family.

Losers are the people who are the ones who you have to avoid like the plague. They do not talk about thoughts and ideas. They have no topic in particular to speak about so therefore they talk about people to just get attention. If you listen to anything that they tell you they are going to rent space into your head. That does not do you any good because if you do not use your mind, you lose it and eventually your brain dies out from not getting new information into it. Rather read a good book because you learn something new and are exercising your mind. At some point someone will be talking about what you read or your can share that idea with someone else.

When someone keeps brining a topic over and over again to you constantly let them know that you will not speak to them anymore if they bring that subject up. If they are a true friend they will talk about something else, if not then avoid them like the plague!!

Stop The Chatter In Your Mind Or Stay Behind.

Imagine 10 people talking over each other. That gives a big problem to what is going on around you. That does not have to be that way. Everyone that you know has woken up with 100 units of energy. Lets say you break a glass and that ruins your day. You give away 20 units of energy. Then you can not focus on getting to work in the morning and you hit someone in front of you. That is another 30 units. You have then 50 units left to concentrate on for whatever deadlines you have at your job. You don't get it done that day, you don't get it done the next day and before you know it you are fired. Damm this did not have to start. If you are giving anything that is bothering you any attention then you are giving that person or thing your power.

Focus on what you need to get to go to your results by following someone whos life you would like to have. Nobody elses. If coaches want to win their ball games by putting the right people in the line up or putting the best shooters and defenders on the team. So can you. Be selective as to who you want and just do it!!! You may be tired right now of hearing all this but once you take the action and hear excitement from the people that committ to winning and see them get results, boy you will get a lot of positive energy like you are cheering for the home team!!!!

Make Decisions Now Or Stay Behind!!

You need to make decisions as soon as you have an idea or else you will stay behind. Lets say you do not have anything to write about. Just do it and begin writing. You have to go through the fact that you will look stupid at first. It does not make any sense to delay because doubt and fear and all the seven negative emotions are going to interfere with your life. You don't want that to happen. You want to get results.
So make an action plan. You want to pick a mentor who has done what you want to do. Take what you have from him and do the best you can within minutes of his teaching you. If you delay with that there is going to be another consequence. Remember back in school after a lecture? If you do not go over your notes within 24 hours then you will forget more than what you would do in two hours of the lecture. Immediately get started and just do it!!!

It is even more ridiculous to procrastinate because Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock bombed when they first started out. If they were able to deal with getting laughed at there is no reason why we shouldn't!!!
