Readers are Leaders in network marketing success

 

In reality readers are leaders in every successful endeavor. If you have been involved in network marketing or MLM for any period of time someone has suggested you read at least one certain book. Have you noticed that when leaders are interviewed on TV that there is usually a book shelf or many book shelves filled with  books in their background. I used to think that was propped for show to display how smart they were. Some of that may be true but for the most part anyone who is in a position of power has done extensive reading. I read my first self-improvement book in 1986 by Zig  Ziglar and since them have amassed over a thousand books most of which (not all) have been read.

Why Read?

Why should you want to read? Two sayings come to mind for me. One: You can not solve a problem with the same mind that discovered it.  The second saying solves the first: The mind expanded by a new idea can never return to its original dimensions. Take time to really think about those two sayings and understand that to become an effective leader you are going to have to do some growing. As a leader you will find yourself becoming the go to person for assistance and answers. A lot of time when people ask me certain questions I will actually suggest a certain book for them to read. I do this because they will do better to find the idea for themselves in that book, I do it to expand peoples’ minds and as a test. I want to find out if they are coachable and serious enough to actually go and read the book seeking the answer for themselves. Those that do are destined to become leaders.
