The money that you earn as an individual is directly tied to your personal growth and leadership skills in this great industry of Network Marketing.
Over my past 23 years in this industry I have come across many talented marketers who have been able to build a team and make money but it always seems to fall apart for them, which has them consistently in rebuilding mode, usually moving on to the next company. Why is that? Well it really in most cases it comes down to their skills as a Leader.
Unfortunately even with this major clue, their teams consistently falling apart, they don’t look at this part of themselves, which is really the key to long term residual income… Master your Leadership skills and it will take you to the Promise Land of long term residual income…
So let’s look at how Eagles can help us in this area…
1. *Eagles fly Alone and at High Altitudes.*
They don’t fly with sparrows, ravens, and other small birds.
*MEANING*; Stay away from narrow-minded people the DREAM STEALERS, the constant complainers, the ones that don’t have goals, those that bring you down/Vampires that suck your energy. Eagles fly with Eagles. Surround yourself with the best you will become the best.
2. *Eagles have an Accurate Vision.* They have the ability to focus on something as far as 5km away. No matter the obstacles, the Eagle will not move his focus from the prey until he grabs it.
*MEANING*; Fall in Love with your DREAM. When you do you will remain focused no matter what the obstacles and you will succeed. Success will be determine by your ability to Focus on what you want longer than what you don’t want….
3. *Eagles do not Eat Dead things. They Feed only on Fresh Prey.*
*MEANING*; No one reads yesterday’s newspapers – Do not rely on your past success, keep looking to grow yourself every day. Leave your past where it belongs, in the past. Your Power to create your future is in the NOW!!!!! It’s tough to awaken the dead it’s much easier to give Birth. Always focus on new Growth…
4. *Eagles Love the Storm.*
When clouds gather, the Eagle gets excited, the Eagle uses the storms wind to lift itself higher. Once it finds the wind of the storm, the Eagle uses the raging storm to lift itself above the clouds. This gives the Eagle an opportunity to glide and rest its wings. I n the meantime, all the other birds hide in the branches and leaves of the tree.
*MEANING*; Face your challenges head on knowing that these will make you emerge stronger and better than you were. Distractions and Excuses are all equal. We can use the storms of life to rise to greater heights. Achievers are not afraid to rise to greater heights. Achievers are not afraid of challenges they are always looking for solutions when challenges arise.
5. *Eagles Prepare for Training;*
They remove the feathers and soft grass in the nest so that the young ones get uncomfortable in preparation for flying and eventually flies/ when it becomes unbearable to stay in the nest./
*MEANING*; Leaders in order to grow they need to do the things that most people are not willing to do. Leave your Comfort Zone, there is No Growth there.
6. *When the Eagle Grows Old,*
Her feathers become weak and cannot take her as fast and as high as it should. This makes her weak and could make her die. So she retires to a place far away in the mountains. While there, she plucks out the weak feathers on her body and breaks its beaks and claws against the rocks until she is completely bare; a very bloody and painful process. Then she stays in this hiding place until she has grown new feathers, new beaks and claws and then she comes out flying higher than before.
*MEANING*; Leaders Look at their beliefs that hold them back, that do not serve them, the ones that keep them from achieving what they want. Leaders understand doing their best sometimes may not be good enough this is when they come with the mindset that they need to do what ever it takes…..
7) Eagles when teaching their young they lead by example and then when ready they fling their young out of the nests to fend for themselves.
*MEANING* When building your organization eventually you can not be the only STAR!! You need to let go and have others take over the presentations, take over the training be the STARS of your organization.
In the meantime you are still leading by example, enrolling new people, treating all distributors no matter what the rank like they are special – keeping in mind building relationships is one of your top values.
Furthermore, always following through with your promises remembering that you lose the trust of your team you will lose that team. Returning all calls, texts, email, and communication understanding if one gets in the habit of not responding, its a simple error in Leadership that will destroy faith and trust in you as a leader.
Finally doing everything with integrity, understanding the integrity of the compensation plan is sacred, eventually the truth comes out and again it will destroy faith and trust in you as a leader….
Faith and trust are the building blocks to a great culture of Leaders duplicating Leaders……
Sending you all Great Success Blessings,
