Leader or Follower
.
I remember hearing the phrase, You make a lot more money as a leader than you do as a follower.
Your cash flow (not income) is in direct proportion to the amount of value you provide. This is why leaders are able to create more cash flow. (Notice I didn’t say make more money)
I hear so many people state they wish they could be the boss so they could just tell everyone what to do. “That’s the easy life,” is what I hear them say.
If it was so easy everyone would be doing it.
So how does one really become a leader and why are you only a smidge away from being one right now? (Yes i said smidge)
Here is a quote I received recently that sums it up nicely and should inspire you to realize you’re almost there:
“Nothing so conclusively proves a mans (or womans) ability to lead others, as what he or she does day to day to lead himself.“-Thomas J. Watson Sr Executive
Simple daily disciplines is what it takes to be a leader.
Here’s the good news.
You must already understand the concept of discipline because you shower or bath daily right?
That my friend, is a discipline and one that you’ve mastered quite well by now I’m sure lol.
So if you’ve already mastered one discipline in life you already know it’s possible to master others. It’s just a matter of acknowledging what other disciplines you must acquire and taking daily action with them.
What Must A Leader Do
.
A leader must do a little bit more than what the rest will do. If you think about it, that really isn’t a lot because the masses don’t do much at all but complain about their circumstances.
The good news is in the beginning just about any action you take will put you ahead of the curve.
The key to becoming a leader is consistent action.
“The most powerful thought I have is the one I believe with the most passion“-me
I’ve been speaking of awareness a lot lately because it’s something I’ve been connecting with quite a bit. The more awareness I gain, the more purposeful my actions are.
This is what leaders strive for. Purposeful & passionate action towards a desired result.
I believe you can only be purposeful if you’re aware.
Gaining Awareness
.
I strive now for purposeful awareness & to stay in that zero state.
I don’t believe it’s the one moment of clarity you gain today that leads to your new way of wealth. That moment can be a fleeting thought, never to be revisited again, with out consistent & purposeful action.
For many people their thought to live a better quality of life stays just that, a thought.
It is something they know but never take action towards, much less consistent action.
They are not fully awakened but only minutely aware. Awareness leads to an awakening but that is another post.
Sustaining Awareness
.
So how will you sustain your awareness to be a leader and lead yourself purposely?
Don’t get caught in the trap of doing your daily actions only because you believe others are watching you. This is coming from ego and is an external driving force that is sure to set you up for failure down the road. You must journey because of a dream or a desire that you own and you will inspire others to take action & to follow you as a leader.
You must journey with partners who hold you accountable.
I have many friends that I associate with and tools that I use to sustain my awareness so I take purposeful action daily. I don’t choose to associate with those people or use those tools by accident either.
I’ll talk about the tools that I use tomorrow and how they give me an edge over those that don’t use them.
So I ask you, do you wish to lead?
It is a responsibility that many people do not take on because they fear all that can go wrong rather than focus on all that can go right.
However if you have an idea you’re passionate about, take daily action towards it and enjoy the ride even with the bumps, you will create a whole new way of wealth many only think about.
These are just a few of the idea’s that I as a leader have grasped that have allowed me to lead others to a whole new way of creating money.
It’s because I don’t just tell people what to do, I lead them by my own example of what to do.
What about you?
