The Worst Way To Become A Leader And How To Fix It

You might struggle with 1 key aspect of leadership.

I had a tough time with this block. I worked for quite a while, thinking that I was a leader but on a subconscious level I obviously felt differently.

After much wheel spinning and serious introspection I found this out:

I was trying to be a leader but decided to chase followers.

If someone "had no money" to join my home based opportunity I became attached to them, or pestered them.

I felt desperate on a deeper level, connecting with folks who obviously had tons of blocks and problems of their own.

I tried to con myself into thinking I was a leader and I allowed a few nice words from individuals to get to my head....not that I felt "puffed up", but I did believe on a conscious level that I was qualified to lead, when in fact my subconscious had other ideas about this...

Now everybody can be a leader. You can choose your thoughts, which moves you into a certain vibe, which moves you into certain acts, which can help you inspire others, and rally the troops.

But few want to embrace the uncomfortable feelings which arise during this growth journey. On an unconscious/subconscious level I feared trusting in the Universe to supply me, as I let go followers, excuse makers, and folks who certainly were not leaders at the time.

Nope, I feared too much, to let go, and form a vacuum which made room for fellow leaders to move into my life.

How did I release this fear of release? Through deep meditation, contemplation, and mindfulness during interactions with others. I began to observe my self-defeating tendencies, instead of acting on these impulses. Like chasing someone or attaching myself to someone with no money, waiting, hoping and wishing they would join, instead of releasing on these folks and continuing to network with leaders.

Of course, when I say release I mean to continue building a relationship, yet not attaching myself to the individual. Some of my top producers were on the fence for months; scared, skeptical and simply not prepared to hop on board at the time. So I am not about disqualifying anyone permanently. But I am about spending most of my day connecting with folks who think, feel and act like leaders.

I learned how to get past this follower-frenzy block through mental science. Through changing my programming, by actually observing where I was mucking it all up. After that, it became easy to act with posture, to become more direct and honest with folks, to explain less, to be forward, and to simply tell folks that they were not a match for my team, at the time.

Do you struggle with chasing followers, or do you find yourself spending your days with people who are frightened, struggling financially or generally pessimistic? How are you getting past follower-frenzy?
