How do you become a leader?

To attract people to work with you in your network marketing company, you must become a
leader.

People want to join leaders, not average marketers.

Leaders are also the only ones that get the gbig fishh. Or in other words, leaders only join other leaders.

If you are able to attract other leaders, you can build a downline that makes you thousands per month without you even working at all.

So how do you become a leader?

Well first, let´s determine which category you are in as a person. There are 3 main ones in lifec

You´re either an established leader, an up-and-coming leader, or a follower. Which one do you think you are?
  • Leader = Alpha
  • Up-and-coming leader = Pre-Alpha
  • Follower = Beta

Here´s a simple test to help you determine which one you are...

When you’re out in public, make eye contact with people. It will especially help if you try this with people you find attractive.

Now, notice who breaks eye contact first. If you looked away first, then you are probably a
Pre-Alpha or Beta. If you held eye contact and they other person looked away first, you are
probably an Alpha.

The thing about Pre-Alphas and Betas is that they tend to worry more about what people think of them.

It’s all about your state of mind and it can only be determined or changed by YOU.

You have to believe that you can get results before you can actually get results. If you don’t believe you can do something, you won’t be able to do it.

Stop worrying about what people’s views are of you and stop being unsure of yourself.

Think of a well known leader or someone that you look up to.

How would they speak?

How would their posture be?

How would they carry themselves?

An example of a Beta would be someone with very little confidence or value to offer others. They tend to go follow leaders in hopes that they will rub off on them and they will magically become be successful.

Betas tend to play the blame game instead of actually taking responsibility for their failures. They will not get out of their comfort zone to become a leader and do what it takes to succeed.

Pre-Alphas are people that have a vision of becoming an Alpha leader. They are starting to get out of their comfort zone, train their team, develop themselves, and act more like leaders.

They are basically on the rise and in transition to becoming leaders in the future.
Alpha leaders are the ones everyone pursues and follows. They attract even other leaders to work with them.

They aren’t afraid of taking responsibility, getting outside their comfort zone or making tough
decisions.

Leaders have an abundance mindset and don’t ever act desperate for a sale because they know they’ll always get more and won’t waste their time trying to convince people to join them.

They don’t “need” people to join them. If you do, you give the other person the power. A leader always has the power.

You also need to understand that everyone starts out as a follower, then becomes an
up-and-coming leader, then they become a leader.

You aren’t just born as a leader and you can’t just skip from a follower to a leader overnight.
It took some of the most successful network marketers years to transition from a follower to a leader. Luckily for me, it only took me about a year.

How bad do YOU want to be successful and be a leader?

Here’s a few traits to work on that will help make you a leader:
  • Leaders are very confident.
  • Leaders don’t worry about criticism.
  • Leaders can say “no”.
  • Leaders are strong-minded.
  • Leaders know EXACTLY what they want.
  • Leaders love themselves.
  • Leaders always offer lots of value to others without expecting anything in return.
  • Leaders are always positive and optimistic.
  • Leaders do what the other 98% won’t.
  • Leaders don’t tolerate disrespect at all.
  • Leaders aren’t afraid to take risks.

Those are just a few traits of a real leader. Watch someone like Donald Trump.

He lost all his money as a billionaire and then gained it all back. He never panicked.

When someone is disrespectful to him or says something ignorant to him, he ignores it or deals with it like a true leader is supposed to.

So how do you develop yourself into a leader?

You need personal development and you need to do it everyday.

Make the commitment to going to bed a better person than you were when you woke up earlier that morning.

If you do this, imagine how much different you would be within a year.

You could be the leader of all leaders with a downline of thousands if you stay consistent.
Personal development is what really helps leaders separate themselves from the rest. If you just do what the average people do, you won’t get any better results than them.

Personal development is one of the absolute best ways to increase your overall value which will attract even more people to join you.

The more valuable you become to others, the more of an Alpha leader you will become and the better results you will get.

Don’t be afraid to spend big money on marketing or personal development courses because
they will always be well worth the money with the extra profits they will bring you.

I want to recommend a few books to you that will help you increase your value and develop
yourself…
  • Think And Grow Rich
  • Rich Dad Poor Dad
  • The Secrets Of A Millionaire Mind
  • PsychoCybernetics
  • The Law Of Success

Those 5 books should get you off to a great start in your personal development.

“Poor people have big TV’s, rich people have big libraries.”
- Jim Rohn

You should be spending about 15-30 minutes a day doing nothing but developing yourself by reading a great book.

You may even want to invest in more advanced courses like Tony Robbins’s personal
development courses.

I would also recommend listening to some empowering audios everyday that let you listen to
other leaders and personal development pros.

The more you listen to leaders, the more you start thinking and talking like them and the
more you start getting results like them.

Listen to audios like these in the car while you’re driving, in the gym while you’re working out, in the morning while you’re getting ready for work, etc.

Trust me, consistency with this will change your life FOREVER (and your income).

So you’ve learned what kind of training to look for and traits to develop to turn yourself into leader, now there’s one more thing before we move on to the next chapter.

A leader realizes that emotions should be left out of the business.

A leader is always a true professional and looks at everything with an abundance mentality.

Everything that happens is just another day at the office if you’re a true alpha leader.

You see, the problem with network marketing is that it’s a business ownership niche that is  pursued by people who have never been business owners.

When people join network marketing, a lot of times it is an emotional decision out of desperation to make money, excitement of the opportunity, hope, etc.
These people usually don’t know how to actually run a business, manage time, invest money, etc. You add that to their strong fear of failure and bad things can happen.

Everytime they get a lead it’s a sign from the universe that they are going to be rich.

Everytime they have a lead call, it’s the call of their life.

Every webinar they attend holds the secret to solving all of their struggles.

These people just don’t have an abundance mentality and it makes their desperation very visible to the prospects.

Would you join someone that was extremely desperate for one sale? No, because that’s
how you would probably turn out if you were sponsored by them.

To be a real professional leader, look at everything as just everyday business.

Not every capture page is going to get a high optin rate.

Not every ad is going to bring in a profit.

Not every lead is going to buy your products.

Not every email from a prospect is a sign that you are the chosen one.

Take the emotion out of it and you’ll be a lot more successful.

Whether today’s events are good or bad, it’s just another day at the office.
