6 Tips to Grow Your Leadership and Serve Your Audience Before It’s Too Late . . .

From time to time, we believe it’s a great idea to give ourselves a friendly reminder about the important lessons we’ve learned when it comes to business building. Many of Shanda Sumpter’s tips relate to cultivating your inner leadership—and today, we’re recapping some of our favorites.

A new article just came out called “Adapt or Die,” sharing that new data is showing that we will be at a 50% SKILL SET deficit in only two years, by 2020.

That means either your audience will not have the money to invest with you—hence you’ll be out of business—or you’ll listen to my coaching and set yourself up to lead them to whatever destination they need in their life right now.

Fix their marriages, give them career coaching, free them from addiction . . .

. . . you have the opportunity to LEAD or die.

1. Hire a coach who won’t let you cop out.

A coach’s job is to stand for your vision, even (and especially) when you’re struggling with self-confidence, fear, or second-guessing yourself. Your coach should be able to say, “This is possible for you, and it’s what you committed to” and push you to follow his or her advice all the way through to the end—to the result you’re striving toward. Essentially you get to stay in the FIRE until you get your results. Far too many people skip around on new ideas chasing FAME versus FORTUNE!

2. Finish what you start.

If you have a pattern of not finishing what you start—not following through on your commitments to yourself—you’ve got to break that and create a new pattern of finishing every single thing you start. If you commit to attending an event and something “comes up,” like your dog is sick or you’re out of money or you just don’t feel like going . . . and this happens time and time again in your life, it’s a pattern.

Do whatever it takes to keep your word to yourself. Every time you don’t keep your word to yourself, you deplete your ability to hit the next big goal.

3. Stop being consumed with your own needs, and focus on what you can give to others.

When you’re hyper-focused on your own needs, then you can’t serve the people you’re here to serve. And if you’re not serving, you’re never going to reach your own goals or truly help people or change their world. When we’re consumed with ourselves, we reduce our own energy. Therefore, things are hard, and that costs us money. When you’re operating from a place of generosity, you stop worrying about getting things perfect, you stop exhausting yourself with how you do it—and you start getting things DONE. And that equates to you making money!

HINT: If most of your struggles in a day are around figuring out something, you’re inward thinking. STOP. You know how to help people. Practice LISTENING to them. Go on Facebook today and focus on …read more
