If you've ever been on any of my LIVE Prospecting Training
Calls, Leadership Calls or any Mastermind Calls with me, then
you've heard me say that your language will either make you,
or break you.
It's true, and here's why:
Your thoughts become your words.
Your words become your actions.
Your actions become your habits.
Your habits become your character.
And your character becomes your destiny.
So be careful of your thoughts.
Bottom line is, since thoughts become words and the words people use when speaking determine where they are in their lives, their language is a dead giveaway.
Here's what I mean:
Has anyone ever asked you, "How hard do I have to work to be successful?"
I hear it a lot, simply because I talk to a lot of people.
It kind of seems like a strange question though, doesn't it?
There are only 3 possible answers:
(1) I'll try.
(2) I'll do my best.
(3) I'll do whatever it takes.
(2) I'll do my best.
(3) I'll do whatever it takes.
Answers 1 and 2 mean failure, 100% failure not just in business, but in life.
Try all you want.
Life and business don't reward those who just "try".
What about trying your best?
Your best isn't good enough.
Matter of fact, this is a cop-out for those who don't expect to win.
The reason is, that you weren't born with what it takes
to build a huge network filled with people who believe in your
company's product, service or opportunity.
There is no such thing as a born leader.
Leadership & leadership skills are developed.
You've gotta consciously become a leader by taking specific actions.
Your best isn't good enough.
You must be willing to do WHATEVER it takes.
Whatever it takes, for however long it takes, is truly what it takes.
And herein lies Hot Leadership #8...
"You must work more on yourself, than on any other area of your business."
Become a Leader by developing more character, by developing more influence and developing other leaders.
When you get better, your success will follow.
Remember, you will never out perform your own Self Image and know that your Personal Income will never exceed your Personal Growth.
Afterall, What is the alternative?
Give 80,000 of the best hours of your life to an employer - that program has a 95% failure rate.
Do whatever it takes.
Work more on yourself than on any other area of your business.
