Cultivating An Expectation of Leadership

Creating an expectation of leadership in myself and others is one of the five things that leaders do everyday. This is really a bigger deal than it may sound like at first. Ed and I recognized the importance of positioning ourselves right away at the Liberty and Summit levels. Was this an easy decision for us? Did we have $22,000 sitting in our laps? Of course not. It took a leap of faith and some creative searching to find a source for the money. But we knew that $13,000 in profit is way better than $1,000 - even a non-business mind like mine figured that out.

True leaders don't buy other people's stories of lack. There is an abundance of money and ideas available to each of us. Some of our associates have procrastinated in purchasing their Liberty and Summit tickets. If Ed and I have not held you accountable and have bought your story about why you need to wait, we apologize. No one needs to wait to make this decision and take this action. Ours is a fast growing team and every day you procrastinate in positioning yourself at Liberty and Summit, you are passing up huge opportunities for profit.

Remember that when you purchase your ticket, team sales, not just personal sales, contribute to your five qualifying sales. By working as a team, we contribute to each other's success which carries a lot of momentum and energy for all of us. We are so glad to have the team we have. We have attracted some really determined big thinkers. And you know who you are.

Right now, I invite you to revisit your goals. If you have an income goal of greater $50,000 for this year, how do you plan to achieve it? By making $1,000 profit per sale, that amount requires 50 new associates attracted and mentored by you. For the Summit advisor, 50 sales has the statistical probablility of generating greater than $250,000 in the same year. Got it?

Are you really here to play full out and be the leader? Those of you who chose to not attend the Liberty Conference in Acapulco missed the best conference ever. If you have been on the Wake-up calls or the Blackbelt Marketing call this week, you heard numerous accounts of the energy and training we received. You DESERVE to be at these events. Your business success requires you to be at these events. Let's all stop finding excuses and instead seek out solutions. I challenge all of us to demand greater leadership from ourselves and our associates.
