To be successful in network marketing and build your dream business, you must be a leader.
Some people seem to be natural born leaders, in the sense that they’ve been “take charge” type people all their life. Maybe you’re not terribly outgoing, and have wondered if you have what it takes to be an effective leader.
The good news is that leadership is something that can be developed. You have already demonstrated some true leadership capability simply by having the desire and taking the initiative to start your own home business!
You can start from wherever you are and build your leadership skills as you go along.
There are a couple of things that strongly influence your ability to develop as a leader.
- your ability to get along with other people – having patience and faith in others
- how much you believe in and commit to win-win relationships
As you develop as an effective leader, you’ll find that you attract other leaders. The greater and higher you build your own personal leadership skills, the higher the level of leaders you’ll attract to your network marketing business.
Here are seven characteristics of great leaders. Reflect on these and plan where you can begin developing your own leadership skills to a higher level. Always keep in mind – the greater your leadership skills, the more leaders you’ll attract to your business. As you can imagine, this becomes a very powerful factor in your success.
1) Leaders quietly work through obstacles and difficulties – you rarely if ever hear them complain or whine about anything. Their attitude is Just Do It.
2) Leaders never look back – they focus on the future and what can be, not on the past and what might have been.
3) Leaders know how to help people get started “where they are” by showing them opportunity in virtually any situation or circumstance.
4) Leaders understand that giving their team quality time and strengthening them with training and encouragement makes all the difference in the world.
5) Leaders aren’t envious or jealous of others with great potential – they look forward to learning and working with the very best they can find.
6) Leaders assume responsibility. They don’t point fingers or make excuses. The buck stops with them.
7) Leaders understand that education and ongoing self-development is critical to their long term success. They enjoy life and the rewards they’ve earned, but they never “arrive” and reach a point where they think they know all there is to know.
Build yourself as a leader – your network marketing business will prosper!

Hi Eldon,
great post about qualities of a leader. I would add – according to Napoleon Hill – that all leaders used to be “intelligent followers”.
Thanks for sharing.
Take care
