A star basketball player is just like a network marketing guru, in many ways. Filmmaker Spike Lee recently filmed Los Angeles Lakers' star Kobe Bryant in his upcoming sports documentary "Kobe Doin' Work", which was shown recently on ESPN cable. Director Lee captures Bryant from his arrival at the arena prior to the game, in the locker room, pre-game preparations, through the actual game, including timeouts. Why is this so important? You get to see an actual Leader at work. Bryant is himself shocked to learn that during timmeouts he tallks so much to teammates. You will notice the take control attitude, the willingness of his teammates to actually heed his advice, the sheer will he exudes on and off the court. When you're building a team, you have to show similar qualities like Kobe Bryant. The members of your team are looking to you for advice, direction and leadership. You're the one who takes the final shot, or conduct the webinar or teleseminar. If you don't think you can be a leader in network marketing, then you've shown that you may not really want success in this business. It is by no coincidence that the U.S. took the gold medal at last year's Olympics. They failed in 2004. The main reason was the addition of Kobe Bryant. A team can smell failure and fear. However, a leader wards these feelings off by exuding confidence, intelligence, strong will and persistence. It is most important that you develop your skill sets in network marketing. Increase your personal development. When you sponsor someone, make yourself someone they can look up to and model themselves after. To keep your team inspired not to fail, let them use you as a template for success. If they follow your example, then they are well on their way to success. John Milton Fogg has written the best book for network marketers. It's called "The Greatest Networker In The World". Told in the form of a story, it tells of a man who is about to quit on his dream of success in network marketing and sadly join the rat race. He's giving up on himself and his goals, simply because he didn't recruit well. Then he goes to his last hotel meeting, and meets The Greatest Networker In The World. After that, everything changes for him. You can be a champion, like Kobe Bryant. You can indeed be the go-to guy when things seem bleakest. Get a free copy of The Greatest Networker In The World. I hope you enjoy it like I and many others striving for network marketing success have.
