I had done a little research into what it really takes to be a good leader or boss as some would put it. These are the skills everyone should have to be a leader of their own business. We all may have to practice these skills:
1. Integrity.
2. Sound Judgement.
3. Diplomacy.
4. Adaptability.
5. Strong Communication Skills.
6. Good Listening Skills.
7. Influence.

Do you realize that 65% of people can not do better than their boss. And even 76% of people don't want their boss's jobs. In running our own businesses, we have to communicate to our downlines as a friend and a leader to keep everyone inspired, motivated, and encouraged to continue building their business.

I am sure that we can add to this list. How many of these traits can we sincerely fill in our daily tasks? Being a friend or a leader to our downlines is what makes us do a great job and maintain a strong downlines.
I am working on a few of these traits myself.

Thanks for posting these lists, now I have even more to work on! But work I shall!

Yes, these are a good list. However, they won't be much good if one cannot reveal them within the qualities that entrepreneurs e.g. Network Marketers and even customers look for.

The reason why a boss is a boss, or a CEO is a CEO is where the difference begins. And that difference is knowing how to reveal the leadership qualities.

That's when the success kicks in.

And if the person cannot reveal these following qualities, the above is nether here or there. It has to revealed in the language of what the audience knows.

Let's then look at it in practical terms, so one can take it and apply, or aim at..."

1. A Leader has his own training.

2. A leader has started to host their own guest call for people to learn from. And is consistently introducing new training.

3. They have taken responsibility to attract leads themselves and the full process of the lead generation.

4. They are confident, and have a state of mind of abundance. Hence, when they are on the phone, they are none of the nonsense of "pleasing the prospect." Instead, they are in control of the conversation, they ask questions to find out the needs of the prospect.

To then decide if what the networker has fits to the prospects needs.

And if it does, they reveal the solution AND the terms and values of that purchase.

5. The leader knows what they want, where they going and how they are going to get it. You're not going to see them blasting lots of sales letters, websites, and at the end of it make sod all. They know the game, they test, they measure to know exactly how to get results.

6. They treat themselves with self respect and will not tolerate anyone giving them any disrespect. And most may not like this but it needs to be said - they will even dis-associate from the person and and remove them from their association.

They have no fear of loss because they live in the abundance state. They have a frame of mind.

7. They offer amazing value, that when people get what they got for free; they wonder what on earth will the paid training or course be like - because the free one is amazing value.

8. They do...what the majority won't do.

9. They got a following of 5,000-10,000. Or at least started to get a following and leading towards that goal.

10. Finally, here's where it really kicks off and where you know for sure, 100%...

The difference between the leader is they will reveal these qualities and it will reveal the points below without even talking about it..

- Income
- their lifestyle
- their organisation

And...

The respect and admiration they get from the people in the same industry or customers.

It all starts with the State of Mind.

Thanks Adam, you really inspired me. I have learned a lot from your articles.
One of your articles stood out to me when you said something that really rocked my world as I know it.
You have to find your target market who are willing and able to pay, and the ones who are looking for you. That in itself is the main target market to aim for.
You are a true leader!

Adam,
I like number 8: they do what the majority won't do.
I do like to take chances where I see others just won't do that. And I have succeeded by taking these chances where others would have not.
I don't have that large following you suggested, but I know I am well on my way to being there.

We all start somewhere friend and that's what's amazing about it. You're creating your story, you're staying real and authentic. Which is, a very rare quality to have.

The following will come, the team will come. We just become valuable to others, reveal these first set of qualities before the numbers, and it will happen.

The best part Mario is from 1-8 you are in control because 'attraction' is not a choice. From 1-8 you can blast it, make it happen. That's the beauty of the list above.

It's great to see, you're focusing on the audience that is already looking, already purchasing. It saves a lot of time and the best part is, you only have to ask questions, be firm, confident, control of the conversation - and lead the person to the solution.

It will happen. It always does to people who 'get it' and apply from 1-8.

They are very steps I am applying and the steps I've read, watched, observed leaders of big following, income, lifestyle had to apply first - and the following followed afterwards.

What the majority do is they focus on number 9-10 first.

Big mistake because 9-10 is due to the results of the actions from applying 1-8.

When someone says, "I haven't got.." I show them the list and ask...

"Did you do these and got them in place. Show me, let's see."

The person straight away stops the excuses but also, they saw how practical it can be to apply. It gives the person hope, something that they realistic can do.

There is also another method I do Mario.

When I did my marketet research on my target audience needs, I created what we call a customer avatar. I interviewed about 400 potential customers and asked them a lot of questions.

This played a major role for me because it helped me to know exactly who my audience are at a deeper level. That's what I use skype for, and facebook behind the scenes.

I attract and then get to know the prospect and they give me time to ask them a lot of questions to find out..

1. Their challenges and other challenges.
2. Their number one priority they want to solve.
3. Their profession, job, business and income level.
4. Status, whether married or single, got children.
5. Their skills and what skills they need.
6. Their big reason why.
7. Their obstacles in fixing these challenges
8. Their interests and what they love to read.
9 Their likes and dislikes.
10. What keywords, words they use to search for what they want.
11. What they bought already and what they liked and didn't like.

etc etc.

Then I have like a profile of my audience at a deeper level. I even put a photograph as well on each customer avatar.

Then I look at what I thought and see if my assumptions was right. And found, most of the time, it was way out of the audience personality. So I then fix each avatar after I asked these questions.

Then I created the strategy, the solutions, the website, sales funnel that I'm developing and now testing the pages focusing on different customer avatars I have choosen.

It's a lot of work but that's how I do things.

Even my books I'm writing, I have a panel of prospects who read them and they give me feed back and they always, later buy these ebooks with discount because they helped to give feed back.

This is how I use the listening techniques.

As we say...

"what the majority won't do..."
