Is
Your Team Being Led or is it just being managed?
I
found myself last night speaking in circles with a
highly successful networker.
He and his wife and some of his downline
stopped to say, “thanks” and talk for a minute.
It turned out that he really stopped to tell
me why he wasn’t going to take my course right
now. He didn’t have time. Hmmmm...
We
went around and around for a while and it became
clear that he just didn’t see how he could walk
away from helping his downline as much as he was.
He told me that when he stopped calling them
“all the time” the productivity did drop so he
knew he was in the right place right now doing the
right thing.
No
matter what I said I was unable to influence him to
rethink his paradigm and see himself in a different
light.
In
reading Covey’s books this morning I realized what
I missed.
The
difference between management and leadership.
This man was a wonderful manager.
He was on top of getting things done.
He was right there to do three way calls, he
kept the motivation coming – he was doing things
right. What
was the problem?
I’m
not sure he was doing the right things.
Covey cites Peter Drucker and Warren Bennis,
“Management is doing things right; leadership is
doing the right things.”
This
man had quickly and efficiently climbed up the
success ladder in his business, but I wonder if he
was climbing the right ladder.
Now he has a business of people who think
they need him to get things done (or he thinks he
has a business of people who need him to get things
done!).
Ladies
and gentlemen leadership is first: "Is it the
right thing to do?" And *then* management:
"Am I doing it right?"
Are
you a good leader in your business or a good manager
in your business or both?
And forgive the obvious segue here, but
it’s your choice and you can make those choices
any time you’re ready.

Mastermind
Sessions with MLM experts
 This
piece is for someone I greatly respect -
greatly respect, and you very likely have heard
of... John Milton Fogg. We're lucky to be in
conversations with John to do some brand new stuff
very soon but for now you should know this...
John is a guy on a mission
much like ours at Savvy Sponsoring, to
reverse network marketing's 95 percent struggle,
fail and quit, performance record. We say a big Amen
to that John!
So have a look at what he
has come up with, something we completely endorse,
and that is the idea that you become most like the
people you spend the most time with. Well some
of you know this is a problem already!
John has created an easy,
economical, no-more-excuses way for you to surround
yourself with the best. I like what he does so
much I'm not even going to edit the personal email
he sent to me - it's just as simple as he says it
is, there's no reason to edit or
embellish.
Thank you John, for your
constant leadership and stretching all network
marketers to their best edge. It's great to
share the Big Network Marketing Mission and passion
with you.
Hey
Jillian,
I've made up
links for each of the guest experts who have
been or will be appearing with me in The
Master Mind
Sessions.
Here's
yours:
 The
link takes people to a webpage which
"locks in" a
money-saving discount under and below the
already "cheap"
price for a subscription to the MasterMind
Sessions.
The
monthly fee goes down from $14.95 to
$12.95 The
annual fee goes down from $85 to $75.
Annual
subscribers effectively pay just $1.45 per
individual
Session or $6.25 per month.
I'm trying
to make the price a no-brainer even the
most cash-strapped
networker can afford.
So, if
you're willing and able to tell your
people about the
Special Offer, great! Let me know how I
can help.
I am so
proud of The MasterMind Sessions. I truly believe
we offer one of a kind, insider
information that's
valuable and useful for every sincere and
serious business-builder.
But you know that, you're one of the
experts (and you know how valuable you are
:-)
Thanks.
I appreciate
you.
- John
