One of the things I recall my mentor, Jim Rohn, telling us years ago was that good people are found, not changed. He told us about a newspaper advertisement, which read:
"We don't teach our people to be nice. We hire nice people."
Wow! What a clever shortcut!
Social Networking represents that same kind of shortcut for you and me.
There are hundreds of thousands of "nice people" -- serious, aspiring entrepreneurs, business executives, stay-at-home-moms, retired individuals and students out there, using such successful social networks as MySpace, FaceBook and Multiply. Instead of viewing these folks as your "competition" -- a mediocre view, at best -- see them as your peers.
Why not invite those who are out there, making an effort to better themselves, to become part of your free social network for entrepreneurs and aspiring wealthbuilders?
Jim Rohn also reminded us frequently, "If you share a good idea long enough, it will eventually fall on good people."
I know that there are people out there, right now, who could use the support, training and encouragement I offer my downline organisation... but they may be involved in a different company or business. So what?
The Law of Equivalent Exchange says that in order to receive something of value, something of equal or greater value must be "given up". That's why I have never had to "ask" anyone to join my business... because I am willing to help folks with whatever it is they are doing, and that will always attract those who are actively looking for an opportunity to come ask me about our business. The other folks... well, if they are happy with their companies, and making money, ought to get the same kind of encouragement and support I give my folks. And so I do!
Leadership is the challenge to become something more than average.
Invite five to ten people you know to become part of your "success network" -- without the expectation of them joining your company, or you joining theirs. Just find ten people you'd like to network with, and "connect".
In fact, because I believe that real leadership says, "Let's do it!" rather than "Go do it...", I am going to extend that invitation to everyone who reads this bulletin as well... and will cross-post it on my blogs elsewhere.
...so if you're reading this, and would like to network with me, please accept my invitation to join our free social network for entrepreneurs (there are actually two of them we're using).
