The Reason Why You Are Stuck in Your Business

Over and over again, I see a consistent theme as to why some leaders get stuck in their business.

Maybe the story sounds familiar to you – you’re taking daily action, you’re reading the personal development books, and no one can keep up with you! You are ON FIRE!

But…unfortunately, it’s just you. None of your teammates are doing the same. They just don’t seem to have the same ‘spark’ that you do.

Here’s the thing - at some point you MUST learn to make the shift from your own personal development to leadership development. If you want long term growth for your business, you need to have leaders in your team.

You’ll only get so far on your own efforts…. That’s where intentional leadership development comes in.

Make That Shift to Leadership Development

When you first begin in network marketing, it is all about developing and growing yourself. But at some point, you MUST make the switch, take all of that newfound knowledge and wisdom, and begin pouring it into other people on your team.

Do you still remember the concept of ‘Intentional Leadership?’ I talked about it in Episode 65, “Are You An Accidental Leader?” if you need to listen to it. The people on your team need someone who will challenge them and develop them, somebody who will confront them when they are doing wrong. So what I want you to do is implement the strategies of Intentional Leadership and start pouring into the lives of everyone around you.
