Today's Leadership Insight - Taking Ownership

July 30th, 2009

No matter what stage you're at in the game, take ownership of what you have. Leaders never put the cart in front of the horse. They set goals for themselves, and strive to reach those goals with all their actions. They never take shortcuts, and they own whatever their position may be.

You hear a lot about people making false claims of success and income, and these people fall into the short-sighted category. They fail to realize they're not promoting an opportunity, a product, or a compensation plan. They're promoting themselves. So, if a relationship with a new prospect is built on a lie, this person loses all credibility and the prospect will join someone who cares about their needs, goals and values. Just looking to make a quick buck is not the name of the game.

If you're at square one in your business, own it!

Look at the top earners in the network marketing industry. They didn't start on the top. They started exactly where you are...at square one. But they set goals, envisioned themselves at the top, and that's exactly where they got.

They made themselves attractive leaders that others wanted to associate with. They owned their position and continued to take ownership as they made their mark on the network marketing industry.

Today, evaluate where you're at in your business, where you'd like to be in one month, three months, six months, and a year from now, and determine how you're going to make it happen. Don't overthink things too long. Literally envision your life after you reach your goals, then TAKE ACTION!

Take ownership of your business, your leadership, and yourself, and you'll begin to see the results you desire.
