Climbing To The Top By Being a Leader In Your Team

Becoming a leader in your Network Marketing Company is a goal most network marketing representatives want to achieve. They know that they need to lay the foundation early on to become a leader in this field. They know that if you move up the ranks, you will be listened to more by your upline, respected more by your downline, and prospects will want to work under you.

Here are some guidelines for educating yourself for leadership in your business:

-    If you think that you’ve made it already, then you are not even close.

Growing in leadership is a constant process that never stops. Just like technology changes constantly in our world, you have to stay up to date to stay on top of things. People who don’t do anything are actually lagging behind. If you think that you’ve achieved the top already in your upline, or you have a large enough downline already, then you are already starting to lag behind. A true leader is a person who constantly strives for more.

-    A leader inspires and empowers others

How should you best help people succeed in network marketing? Help out others through helping your downline FIRST. Don’t get caught up in selling all of your products yourself in order to bring in a big commission check. Empower and inspire your downline team to sell more, and you will bring in more revenue with less effort!

-    The leader is not hogging the spotlight

Don’t be stingy and keep the spotlight on you and you alone. You make think that it’s great to have all of the glory because you have the biggest downline or the highest rank in your jurisdiction. But that’s not how it works: nothing is more satisfying than sharing the glory with your downline and helping them get to the same heights. Take the time to educate yourself and support them as they grow. Even if they make it to a higher ranking than you, you still receive income off of their successes!


-    A leader is always reading for education

Don’t assume that educational and self-help books are for the weak-minded or that they are a waste of your time. You have to feed your brain, just like you have to feed your body. If you keep your mind full of the right stuff, you will be blocking out the negative influences keeping you from the success you deserve. Once you start living a life that your books talk about, people will listen and people will notice.

Keep in mind that all leaders are still human! You are not going to see results right away. But don’t punish yourself if you get frustrated. Remember that it takes time for a leader to be formed, and that everyone makes mistakes. Follow these rules, and you will see your patience pay off.
