Why should anyone follow you

Written by: Jay Kubassek

Article Overview: What is the value of YOUR leadership? Leadership is the most precious commodity known to man! In fact society is so starved for leadership and someone/thing to follow right now, you could light yourself on fire and run down the street and people would follow you in droves!

Why should anyone follow you

Personalize them, and develop them into your own character and people will crawl over each other just to work with you! Combine them with the brilliance of the CarbonCopyPRO marketing system and you are on your way!

To the degree that you have something of value to offer your prospects and to the degree that they perceive the value of your leadership, or a business relationship with you -- to that degree you will be financially successful.

1) Invest in yourself: If you are coming to our next Master Marketing Event in Dallas in Oct, you are making an incredible investment in yourself thereby increasing your value to your prospects. You will have more knowledge, belief, skills, tips, tricks, contacts, etc, etc than you did before. This is one example of how you can increase your value to society. Other ways are by reading books, taking courses, learning new marketing techniques, attending conference calls, and masterminding with your sponsor and other leaders. Your income is really just a byproduct of your value to society. The more your perceived value to your prospects, the more they will buy into you! Its really very simple. On the other hand, if you are having a tough time recruiting people consider that this has NOTHING to do with your marketing of system and EVERYTHING to do with their lack of perceived value in you as their LEADER!

2) Effective communication: In November I will attend a 3-day intensive training workshop here in Manhattan with a small group of CEO's and other executives to further develop my personal communication skills. For $3500 I will under go 3 full days of intense training and brutal constructive criticism. (www.SpeakEasyInc.com) Why would I want to do this? Do I think that I am lacking in basic communication skills? Of course not! I made millions of dollars in the last four years as a marketer because I am already able to effectively articulate and communicate my value to my prospects. Yet, as part of my personal commitment to be the best I can possibly be in EVERY area of life, the journey of personal growth continues. The spoken word is all we have and as you will learn in Dallas, you can have the best message but if you can't communicate it, you have nothing.

3) Patience and persistence: These two disciplines have made me more money than any other. If you are simply able to "hang in there" and persist longer than most, you will make more money than most. Think about it in these terms... if you are able to persist longer than 99%, you have a 99% greater chance of success than most (assuming you do all of the things top income earners do!) Most people never stick with anything long enough to either get good enough at them or truly reap the benefits of their hard work! Put your head down and focus on your long term objectives. Don't look around you and don't EVER look back.

Leaders lead because they are leaders -- not because anyone is following them. At some point you will turn around and notice an entire group, team, community, country, civilization following you! How far do you want to go? Stop looking around and start developing yourself as a leader. Until then, don't expect anyone to follow you - leave alone give you their money!

(Jay's Full Bio: EvanCarmichael.com/jaykubassek)  

In six short years, Canadian entrepreneur Jay Kubassek went from working on a farm to selling mufflers at a Kansas City Midas shop to revolutionizing home-based entrepreneurialism with the 2004 launch of his Internet-based education company CarbonCopyPRO and the PRO family of companies.

With little more than an 8th grade education and no start-up capital, the odds were stacked against him. But Jay has proven that business success and financial freedom can be achieved by virtually anyone who wants it badly enough, provided they are willing to earn it and the entrepreneurial spark is still there.

Re: Free Twitter Resources & Apps Re: Free Twitter Resources & Apps - Thanks for posting the link, GT. Yes, it is important to have as many of the people you follow follow you back as possible, especially if you want Twitter.com to allow you to go beyond 2,000... Ideally, you want to find people in your niche who have big networks of followers and who reciprocate when you follow them.
Re: THE Most Important Concern At Startup Re: THE Most Important Concern At Startup - And, Tom, once you have your vision and you know what you really want to do, follow through has to be there. You're right. Many people have GREAT ideas but they lack the passion that will help them follow through with it.....or perhaps the money......or both. But the point it, sticking to something, no matter how tough it may seem at the time, can be the factor determining success or failure. Everyone has a great idea now and then, but it takes true tenacity to follow through and make it a reality.
Re: Twitter vs Facebook Re: Twitter vs Facebook - What's the best way that you all have found to search out Twitter users who seem to be interested in the same type of stuff you are so you can follow them and hopefully they will follow you back? I would like to increase my following but I want them to be somewhat targeted. I don't like following anyone and everyone just for the sake of doing it.
Re: Twitter Members, Post Your Twitter ID Here Re: Twitter Members, Post Your Twitter ID Here - I am going to follow everyone on the list tomorrow. Sorry I am too tired to follow tonight
