Instead of the normal tools and tips for how to grow your business on-line, I wanted to take this time to talk about Network Marketing Success & Leadership.
By Leadership I do not mean the “Ra-Ra” meetings that many people in Network Marketing go to, or hosting opportunity calls or anything like that.
What I am talking about is TRUE leadership, the kind that transcends businesses and communities. It actually ties in with and enhances the concept of Attraction Marketing.
What I like to use as a model for myself is that of the “Servant Leader”. A servant leader remembers that they would be NOWHERE without their downline. Even the smallest, newest distributor in your downline is a valuable member of your group. They all have hopes, ambitions and dreams or their network marketing business.
What I like to do, and the kind of mindset that comes out of being a servant leader helps keep things in perspective for me. It helps me remember that that call from the frustrated new member who just can’t seem to sign anyone up is very important. It is absolutely the most important thing on that persons mind, and we as leaders have to remember that. We all started out as that new distributor who couldn’t understand the compensation plan or didn’t know how to cut and paste something onto their web browser and don’t know the first thing about advertising their network marketing business.
Being a servant leader is being there FOR people. Now you don’t want to fall into the trap of spending all of your time helping people who cannot help themselves (been there done that), but you do want to show your genuine concern and compassion for those in your network marketing business.
What this does is create LOYALTY in your organization. If you just some time MENTORING and HELPING PEOPLE HELP THEMSELVES, you will have earned their absolute loyalty. What loyalty brings is a SOLID DOWNLINE and helps prevent people from jumping ship and going onto the next available opportunity. An all too common occurance in this network marketing business
So, the moral of this post tonight is, be there for your downline. By helping them and being a servant leader, you will ultimately help yourself and your network marketing business. True leaders attract others to them.

I really like this post. As a business and leadership development consultant for many years, I’ve found there are many different types of leaders, but that the attitude spread down from the top is critical in creating the environment for the rest of the team. Be what you want others to be!
