Hi guys. I have received alot of e-mails since I started to write about personal development so to each of of ye, thank you!. It is my wish that I can help you in anyway possible. I hope you enjoys today article. It is all about leadership, which is definitely one of the biggest principles of personal development. Ok so first what is leadership?. Guys for me in simple terms, leaders are people on a mission because they are living with passion. If you are into sports for example and I throw out a few different sports, you will probably come back to me with a few names in each sport.
For me, a Leader in sport for example has to have alot of attributes. Usually they are captains alot, they have outstanding skill, their life is their sport, they are ambassadors for the game, they do not follow the crowd, they work on their game continuously, they are brilliant players, etc. That for me is a leader. It is 100% all in. The standard they have set for themselves is the highest it can be. These people live with passion. The thing that is so true about leaders is the following sentence “When you set yourself on fire, people will pay you to watch you burn”. This is so true.
When you come across a leader in life, you will have thousands upon thousands of people following him and they will pay to follow him!. It is not difficult to see leaders in action. A leader will never need a pay check because he has devoted himself to something far more noble than money. Whatever you want to do in life my friend, you must become a Leader if you want to play big. There is no in between here. If you want to build a business, you need to do it right and when I say right, I mean an incredibly high standard of workmanship plus also your life gone into it especially in the early years. Leaders in society run the world. They are essentially high achievers with seriously strong mental attitudes.
You can become a Leader too. Your leadership qualities are deep inside you. It is the purpose of my work and this article to try to bring those qualities to the outside world so everyone can eventually see what a special and gifted person you are. Ok, the first step in becoming a Leader in you must decide exactly what you want. Now you may want a soul-mate, you may want to make more money, to be a top sports person, etc. You must find out what it is that you want out of life. You may find this a difficult question but there is no way around it. What is your mission in Life.? What would you really have loved to do before but for some reason, you couldn’t do it?. The Bible says “Ask And You Shall Receive”. The sad thing about the masses is that they never ask. They get caught up at a young age in the rat race and go through their life never really thinking what they could do or could have done with their life.
Now, when you are going through this exercise, I want you to be really clear what it is that you want. You need to use clarity. Be really specific. If you want a dream house by the sea, I want you to be so specific that you can tell me the color of the furniture in every room. The more specific you are with the detail, the more powerful the strategy. Also, as you are thinking about what you want, ask yourself what are you really passionate about. What would you love to do in life even if you didn’t get paid?. Guys, if you know the answer to this question, you are 90% on your way to becoming a Leader. Passion is something I love to see in a person. It is impossible for a Leader to exist without passion. What are you passionate about?. Whatever your answer, this should help with knowing what you want to do with your life. Write it down immediately once you define your passion.
You will get way more out of my teachings on this Blog by doing the activities with a pen and paper. It is 10 times more potent that just reading this article. Ok, so now you know what you want, you must now write down the reasons why you want it. Why do you want it?. You need to list at least 20 reasons. The more reasons you have the potent your goal. As soon as you decide on your goal, you will notice that all the obstacles will come on the scene. This is why you need compelling reasons to achieve your goal. This is where we get your emotions involved. Alot of Leaders put down their family members as reasons. Maybe the Leader wants to make a business successful and a compelling reason is to be able to pay for his children’s university education. That is a compelling reason.
You have 20 strong reasons where your emotions are seriously involved and now we are finally starting to build some muscle in you. Reasons come first, answers and breakthroughs come second. You will never know what it takes in Life to achieve something of great value unless you have enough reasons. Do not move onto the next step until you have 20 strong reasons that are tied to your heart written down on paper. The final step is what is your massive action plan?. Again I want you to write down 20 different plans and ideas for making your goal a reality. You need to have alot of goals and ideas and these should be added to daily. Any new idea should be added to your list immediately to ensure ultimate success. This is a very simple plan but a seriously potent one.
It will enable you attain a goal and turn you into a leader. If I was to add a fourth step, I would recommend hiring a coach. The only way you can fail with the first 3 steps outlined is if you betray yourself and your family (If they are part of your reasons in step 2). With the fourth step, you will also have to betray your coach and it is really hard for an honest person to betray someone’s trust. Guys, it should be becoming clear now that life is just a mental battle and the battle is with yourself. You can take the easy way out or you can confront everything. That has to be one of my favorite words in the dictionary. You should always strive to be a confronter.
Confront everything, confront problems, confront ideas, confront and explore everything in Life that comes across your desk. When you start confronting issues, you start to learn about yourself (stuff that was always there) but by changing your state, you were able to bring more of your personality and strength to the surface.
So there you have it, your goal, your reasons and your plans. Life will pay you whatever you want from it. What do you want from Life?. Get really clear on this. It may take you weeks to know exactly what it is you want out of life. Don’t worry, keep asking, keep thinking about it and pray for the answer, I promise you, the answer will come. This is the by far the most important part. You then must know the purpose of attaining your goal. Then lastly your action plan. If you really want answers to this 3 step process, they will come. This exercise should be treated with the utmost respect and integrity as we are talking about your life here. This exercise may very well change your life. I hope it does!. God Bless.!
