There are many ways to become a millionaire, including robbing a bank, winning the lottery and  inheriting Aunt Zelda’s fortune.

Regardless of your chances, becoming a millionaire like this will not guarantee that you become a leader.

On the other hand, many who decide to become leaders regardless of their endeavor become millionaires.

No wonder we are often told that to be a successful mlm residual income business owner, we must become leaders.

What does it mean to be a leader?

For me it means the willingness to stand up and stand out to achieve a goal while empowering others to achieve theirs.

How do you become a leader?

By claiming your leadership. You do this by deciding to become a leader and then expecting leadership of yourself each and every day.

What exactly should you be expecting of yourself?

Here  are some of what I believe are the more important expectations a leader in any mlm residual income business will need to satisfy.

Will you -

• go where nobody else has gone before?
• turn left when everybody else is going right?
• take consistent action knowing full well you could fail?
• help others to achieve their goals?
• recognize your own value, continually extend it and share it unconditionally?
• do whatever it takes to manage your emotions?
• acknowledge, appreciate and be thankful to others
• never give up?
• take full responsibility for everything that happens in your business?
• work harder and longer than anybody else?

You would be right in thinking that expectations like these provide an ongoing challenge. This is exactly why your motivation for success will need to extend far beyond becoming a millionaire. This will really just be the cherry on the top.

It’s not an Audi R8!

There was only ever going to be one winner and Jonathan Budd is it!

If you don’t know what I’m on about then you’ve obviously been under a rock for the last few days!

Mike Dillard recently launched his new product “What’s Working Now” which incidentally if you were crazy enough not to sign up for, you’ve missed!  Apparently you can register to be informed if and when the product is made available again.

So Mike ran an affiliates competition for the launch and first prize was a brand spanking new Audi R8! Man not since I was almost caught up in an annual wildebeest migration have I witnessed such a stampede towards the finish line.

I waited with bated breath to receive the leader updates. There were many familiar names, the above two and other marketing heavy weights like  Jason Better (3rd) and Ann Sieg (4th) all jostling for that top place.

I’m fairly sure none of them really needed the car and most can more than  likely buy their own anyway, so what was the attraction?

Competitiveness?    The Challenge?     A Marketing addiction?    Some kind of narcissistic drive?

Maybe, maybe and maybe but I believe they simply rose to the challenge because they could!!

And why could they???

Because what Jonathan Budd and Brian Fanale have in common and with all the rest of us who took part is this…. We know that…

The Power Lies In The List!!

They were not successful because of any particular network marketing company, not because they knew Mike Dillard personally, not because they had access to discounted billboard advertising space but because they understand the power you have when you have a list of followers who you have built a relationship with and  and who will buy from you when you market to them over time. Period!  The bigger your list, the more potential power you have!

This is what it means to make your business about YOU Inc! This is what attraction marketing is all about. This is what you should be working on as a priority… not trying to pitch your latest, greatest deal or insist that your vitamin infused berry cocktail from Mars is the best….

The model to follow is simple: Build a list. Build a relationship with the list. Market to the list

How do you do this?

You need to be able to offer people something of value that is going to help them. This is why they will opt in to your list. Find something to give away for free that will be of value to your niche group.

You will need a way to communicate this offer to them via a blog or capture page.

You’ll need an email auto responder like Aweber so that you can communicate with your list members.

You”ll need to know how to build a relationship with your list which does not mean market every affiliate product ever released to them. It does mean offer them ongoing value.

Then and only then when they know, like and trust you… then will they buy from you when you have something of value to market to them.

While the model is simple and the process very possible most people will find putting all the pieces together a challenge  which is exactly why if you want to make this as easy as joining the dots you should use an effective attraction marketing system to help you with every one of the above steps.

It’s what I do and it’s how all other the top seven figure earners do it too.

How do I know?

This contest has just proved this very point. You see the other thing that both Brian Fanale and Jonathan Budd have in common is that each of them owns one of the top two attraction marketing systems in the market place today.

They must both be doing something right, not so? How can can argue with 1st and 2nd place?

Say it whichever way -  finally or Fanale….. the news is the same: MLM leader, Brian Fanale IS A ROCKSTAR!

The ‘rockstar label’ is in itself significant because Brian was indeed a struggling musician before he turned to the Internet. That’s right, he’s an Internet Rockstar!

Is there much of a difference between types of rockstars? The way I see it,  there’s a whole heap of similarities actually. One thing is for sure, being a rockstar in any industry means you have attained a significant level of success, period!

With this comes recognition, attractiveness, financial wealth and yeah dare I say it….. GROUPIES!!

Yes you also want to be associated with rockstars because it makes you feel good to mix with success.  We all do. Others will look at you and think you’re attractive too if you’re on the same red carpet, albeit on the side at the back. Nothing wrong with this. You should be associating with successful leaders, not to trail in their shadow but to connect with them and learn from them so that you can be a rockstar too!

The funny thing is we often only see their success because we only get to know about them when they hit the spotlight.  Take just about anybody who has achieved mega results in life, regardless of the discipline, and  there has been a journey they have had to take to get to that point.

Even people like Susan Boyle who one would hardly think of as your traditional rockstar had to endure a long road to get to where she is today. Her success may appear to have been an overnight phenomenon but  dig a little deeper and you’ll discover she had been preparing her whole life for her transformation to  take place. When she was ready, success came flying in through the door because she attracted the right people and situation into her life at that exact moment.

Of course the  money, glitz and attention is fantastic but I bet what matters a whole lot more to most rockstars,  is the amazing sense of achievement they share.  Brian Fanale is no different.

He started out thinking he wanted to be a doctor but those within the ranks  scared him off with their inside stories. At this stage he  hadn’t quite given up his dream of becoming a professional musician so this was his next stop. In reality this meant being a bartender to subsidize the dream but after only managing to save  a whopping $2000 in 10 months he knew he was going to have to look elsewhere to have the life he wanted.

Enter the network marketing industry and so started a 3 year nightmare that many of us will know well. Rather than earning the thousands he had anticipated, instead he piled up over $20 000 in debt. Sound familiar?

Fortunately not long afterward everything changed for this determined entrepreneur . Within 3 months he became one of the top income earners in his company, had learned how to generate 100+ leads a day and never had to try and convince anyone on anything ever again.  It gets better….. he co-created the largest attraction marketing system on the planet and together they hit the $2 million dollar mark in their first 6 months of  business.

Awesome? Amazing? Phenomenal? you bet…  So what was it that catapulted an ordinary guy to such heights? Simple….when you are finally ready to receive what you need to know, everything will come together very quickly. This is how it happens  for  everybody but the challenging bit is getting yourself to this point. For many it takes a long time. What if there was a way to speed up this process?

Brian Fanale  says there is a way which starts with appreciating your own value and sharing it with others. This is how you become attractive in a business sense. It’s what forms the basis of attraction marketing.  In a nutshell you have to give up needing and wanting and instead focus on giving and sharing.  It may sound easy but it requires a complete change in mindset for most people. The only way to achieve this is to develop yourself through personal development.  Brian recommends as first stop for all aspiring entrepreneurs, Mike Dillard’s Free 7 Day Video Bootcamp.

When you have prepared yourself enough everything else will fall into place because you will be ready. You may have heard Brian Fanale being interviewed on a webinar I told you about recently. If so I would love to hear what you learned from the interview too.
