The Art Of Leadership Part 2 - Belief [Alpha Networker]

After a part 1 there must be a part 2 and here it is. The Art of Leadership Part 1 was a brief description of where my head was / is at and the importance of gratitude, making decisions and controlling your feeling. I also put some videos of Alpha Networkers who are amazing leaders to back up my statements.

Today I am going to focus on Belief. More to the point self belief. Without self belief you will never achieve what you truly deserve in life. You will only live life as a person who settles for what life gives them. You will always be used to fulfill someone else’s dreams or worse yet fulfill no ones dreams including your own.

Self belief is self power, lets dig a little deeper.

The Power Of Self Belief

A friend of mine Chris Owen has an amazing story of how he over came a difficult card that life dealt him. His story is a powerful one and one that we should all take to heart and learn from.

The Chris Owen Story

I urge you to go and read it. You will see that the belief he had in himself set him on his determined road to success. Chris you inspire me.

There are many similar stories of the power of self belief all around us. If you still watch the news you will hear how people get through really difficult situations merely based on the fact that they fully believed that they will.

One Of My Stories

Not to long ago I was faced with a situation where I was desperately searching for a new job. I was determined to get a good job which I knew I deserved and when I got this job I wanted to be promoted to a higher position within 3 months of starting the new job.

The atmosphere where I was working at the time was rapidly getting worse. It was coming up to Christmas and the boss hadn’t paid me my salary from November yet. I was sending my CV out like a mad man and had many opportunities come my way which I could of taken but (not to be to big headed) they were for a lesser position than I was worth.

I pushed on and got offered an interview at a very reputable design agency. As soon as I walked in the place I knew this is where I was going to work.

Within a week I was offered the job. The exact job I wanted and believed I deserved. Within two weeks they promoted me to a higher position in the company. I started work there on the 17th December 2007. They even paid me an advance on my salary so that I could enjoy Christmas.

All this happened because I believed in myself and wouldn’t settle for less.

My Belief Today

Today I know I have so much value to give back to others in or outside of network marketing. I know where I want to go and I know how I am going to get there. I am prepared for mid-course adjustments on my journey but I fully believe I will achieve my goals.

As a leader (pre-alpha to alpha networker) I know you can also achieve all your goals. You will need help along the way and that is what leaders are here for. We want to provide you with some direction and guidelines to help you along your own journey to success. We know you can do what we are doing / have done. We fully believe it is possible for you to acquire all you deserve but what we believe about you is worthless unless YOU believe it for yourself.

“Whether you think you can or whether you think you can’t, you’re right!” – Henry Ford

A great quote by Mr. Ford. If you think / believe you can’t then you can’t. I teach my children that there is no such thing as can’t. Everything is possible as long as you truly believe you can achieve it.

Hold Firm To Your Beliefs

Once you have the belief in yourself, your capabilities and your future capabilities you have to hold on to that belief. Many things will come your way to test your belief. The strength of your belief will pull you through.

Show me a leader who hasn’t come up against great challenges. In every challenge which they faced it was their belief in themselves which brought them through the challenges.

If you believe you are on the right course then don’t let anyone or anything take you off that course. Push on through and see the rewards on the other side.

Leadership Belief

You wouldn’t follow a leader who didn’t believe in themselves and their abilities. You wouldn’t follow a leader who didn’t believe in you. So you can see that self belief is a foundation level must for any leader to have.

Your leader should be able to see the potential in you and help you to develop your own self belief in yourself. But remember YOU are the only person who can make use of your self belief.

I know you can be an Alpha Networker. I know I am well on my way to becoming one. The question is will you join me?
