If you want to build a successful network marketing business, it's critical that you work on yourself to become a leader. In fact, it’s been said that the size of your team and the size of your income is in direct proportion to your leadership abilities.
How do you become a leader? You're going to have to grow. You're going to have to strectch yourself. You're going to have to learn more that you already know. You have to continue to apply what you learn. It’s a never-ending process of self improvement.
One of the most important things you can do to ensure that you’re growing is associating and masterminding with like-minded, creative and positive people. This is why meetings and events are so vital to your network marketing career. By masterminding with like-minded people, you're allowing yoursefl to grow past what you can do on your own.
On the other hand, being around negative people will suck the life right out of you. You can have all your goals written down and say all the affirmations in the world, but if you’re immersed in a negative environment, you will not grow.
What’s the key? You have to put yourself in an environment that will stimulate, and force, you to grow. Here are four criteria of a growth-oriented environment:
1. Others Are Ahead Of You – By surrounding yourself with people that are ahead of you, it forces you to grow and compete. Always remember, if you are the best in your circle of peers, you’re not growing.
2. You Are Still Challenged – If you are always learning new things, then chances are you are growing. However, if you find yourself getting bored easily, that an indicator that you are stagnant.
3. You Are Out Of Your Comfort Zone – It is easy to stay where you currently are, but keep in mind, if you stay where you're at, you will continue to get what you are currently getting. There's never been anyone who did something great while they were comfortable. One of my mentors told me early on, that winners embrace and accept uncomfortable-ness for a short time, so they can be comfortable for the rest of their lives. Do not be scared of venturing out of your comfort zone.
4. You’re Constantly Forward-Thinking – The only reason why you should ever evaluate the past is so you don't make the same mistakes over and over. Other than that, you need to always stay focused on where you’re going and understand that your best days are ahead of you. As cliche as it sounds, you will get whatever it is you're thinking about.As Tony Robbins says, “Life is a self-fulfilling prophecy”. The question is, what are you constantly thinking about?
If you’re not in a growth-oriented environment, I want to encourage you to get in one immediately. By staying in a growth-oriented environment, you'll be able to eventually become a leader worth following.And once you do that, you'll attract leaders and build a successful network marketing business.
