The Seven Inherent Growth Steps for Every Leader
As part of my ongoing commitment to personal development, I
attended a seminar over the weekend where the speaker talked about the seven
inherent growth steps every leader must take.
I have made a firm commitment to follow these steps as I
develop as a leader within the network and online marketing industry. I’d like
to share these seven growth steps of leadership with you, and ask if you are
already incorporating these steps as a leader.
1) Connect your passion for success with a common moral
good. You must focus on connecting
with other people, and create a vision that is rooted in win-win. If you focus
on providing others what they need, success will eventually follow. Knowing
that your product or service is a win for others creates a deeper and more
legitimate passion for you to strive.
2) Become a student of your work and industry, not just a
servant to it. This involves acquiring knowledge, developing ideas, and
improving your skills. With increased
knowledge and skills, you are more valuable to others, which is a necessary
trait of a leader.
3) Avoid extreme shifts in mood, focus, and determination
when building your foundation. We must be careful not to let our emotions get
the better of us. When faced at a low point or stressful situation, we must
exercise calm and patience.
4) Learn to endure hardships and inconveniences with a
positive spirit. Complaining about a situation will not encourage others to
help you. Maintaining that positive spirit will rub off on other people, and
they will be more inclined to help you get through the hardships.
5) Improve yourself more than you grow your business. Spend
time on personal development, read books, listen to CDs and podcasts, and find
successful mentors. If people are attracted to you because of what you achieved
in personal development and the value you can offer, they will naturally follow
you and eventually follow your business.
6) Foster interaction with others by renewing your faith in
the inherent ability to rise to the occasion. Have the belief that people can
succeed no matter what. The three keys you can do to motivate others are
optimism, encouragement, and enthusiasm.
7) Understand that the greatest avenue of creating success
in other is love. Always give more than you take and create a culture of
generosity.
Good luck, and feel free to comment if you think there are
additional steps I haven’t mentioned but worth noting for every leader.

Blank text field might be better
- Hi TheAnonymousMan,
I like your idea! I'm assuming it would be similar to the status feature on Facebook where it might say "Kevin is ... " So I think having a blank text field in the profile box (and even "Leader" boxes on the left and top side of the forums if possible) might be more fun than just choosing from pre-set options from a drop down menu:D
Re: Drop out Billionaire
- I reveived Bill Bartmann's DVD "9 Steps To Achieve Any Goal" as part of my monthly pack from Success University a few months back.
It is a great presentation. I've watched it several times but not for a while so I'll view it again in the coming week.
He is one of the greats. Like the best success mentors, he speaks with authority because he has come through much tribulation.
His program sounds like a great bargain at $100 a year.

It's not easy
- Evan,
It's not easy to franchise a business! Franchising requires a strong business model, significant capital resources, and very talented people to be successful.
There are over 3000 franchise opportunities out there, most (80%) don't have the three criteria I listed above.
The biggest benefit to using franchising to grow your business is that you bring in someone else's capital and human resource. What you are giving up is control in operating that business.
I have seen successful companies get in trouble attempting to franchise their business, franchising requires a different skill set than simply operating units.
Growth would have been much easier if they had just opened their own units and sought grown from within.
