| If you can close your eyes for a second and visualize | | | | people were signing up in droves because they |
| throughout your life, who have you admired the most; | | | | believed if they followed him that would lead to their |
| some might say their parents, a teacher, friend, pastor, | | | | success. People gravitate to leaders with answers, |
| athletes or celebrities. What do all these people have in | | | | and when someone sees that you have a way to |
| common; well I would say they all were people that | | | | help improve their business they will naturally listen. So |
| you personally looked up to by the way they lived their | | | | how do you make yourself a leader, when you've |
| lives, what you were able to learn from them or how | | | | never been in that position before? Well as the saying |
| they made you feel when they were in your presence. | | | | goes "Knowledge is Power." |
| I would suggest the people who make the biggest | | | | Educating yourself on information that has anything to |
| impact are those that add value to our lives. My belief | | | | do with leadership, marketing, promotion, selling, |
| is that much like who we admire; peoples motivation to | | | | advertising or directly related to building a business |
| spend their money, time and efforts are due to the | | | | gives you knowledge that people will go to you for. To |
| idea that their actions will add value to their lives. So | | | | give you an example of why education is so crucial to |

| value to those that we either sponsor or sell our | | | | "leaders are born not trained" and "even if I knew |

| they tend to be people that have direction, a plan, are | | | | to do with who you have to be not what you have to |
| in control, make mistakes but learn from them, have | | | | do. Before people see your business opportunity they |
| focus, exude confidence and are people that add | | | | see you, if you can't convince anyone that you're the |
