89: Have You Made the Shift

The Reason Why You Are Stuck in Your Business Over and over again, I see a consistent theme as to why some leaders get stuck in their business.   Maybe the story sounds familiar to you – you’re taking daily action, you’re reading the personal development books, and no one can keep up with you!  You are ON FIRE! But…unfortunately, it’s just you.  None of your teammates are doing the same.  They just don’t seem to have the same ‘spark’ that you do. Here’s the thing - at some point you MUST learn to make the shift from your own personal development to leadership development. If you want long term growth for your business, you need to have leaders in your team. You’ll only get so far on your own efforts…. That’s where intentional leadership development comes in.   Make That Shift to Leadership Development When you first begin in network marketing, it is all about developing and growing yourself.  But at some point, you MUST make the switch, take all of that newfound knowledge and wisdom, and begin pouring it into other people on your team.  Do you still remember the concept of ‘Intentional Leadership?’  I talked about it in Episode 65, “Are You An Accidental Leader?” if you need to listen to it.  The people on your team need someone who will challenge them and develop them, somebody who will confront them when they are doing wrong. So what I want you to do is implement the strategies of Intentional Leadership and start pouring into the lives of everyone around you.     Episode Quotes “You must learn to make the shift from your own personal development to leadership development if you want to create true freedom.” "If you can move product, you can make money. If you can teach people to move product, you can make a good living. But if you can move people, you can change lives and make a fortune in the process." - Lisa Grossman "To sustain momentum and growth long term... you must be good at getting others to do what it takes to make the plan work." “There are a SPECIFIC set of skills in the area of leadership that you need to master if you really want to create freedom in your business.” “You DO play a role in the success or failure of the people on your team.” "We are only going to get so far on our own efforts." “The biggest thing that is missing for people, is they are taking a way too ‘hands off’ approach to the way that they lead their team.” “Sometimes you must step in as the leader of your team and confront people, tell them things sometimes that they don’t WANT, but NEED to hear in order to get better.”   Listen to Learn 00:09   Making the shift from personal development to leadership development 02:29   You cannot do it on your own, you need leaders 04:45   The Intentional Leadership
