Embrace the Challenges

May 15, 2012 by Craig Holiday · Leave a Comment

At the worst times in life, sometimes we find the most important lessons which bring us to our ultimate success and destiny.

While no one ever wants the challenges that comes their way, very often they are the reason they reach deep down inside to become truly great.

It takes a mindshift to realize your potential for greatness.

You have to believe that there is a way for you to reach the leadership role that awaits you. One thing I’ve noticed throughout my experience with network marketing is that what you expect of yourself, is what you will manifest. If you have a belief that you are only capable of being an employee that goes to work day in and day out, then chances are, that is what you will do your entire life. If you truly believe that you are a leader and a business owner who is capable of a 7 figure income, then you will do whatever it takes to get there.

Jim Rohn said:
“To have more than you’ve got, you must become more than you are.”

What makes someone go from ordinary to being a sought after leader? How does that switch happen? I don’t know anyone that was BORN a leader. You don’t see kids standing on a soap box in the school yard and giving motivational speeches, teaching other kids how to do a fire walk right?

A leader is found…within yourself.

It involves you claiming your destiny along with providing incredible value to those you reach. You can’t just sit out there and preach…do this, do that. You have to provide inspiration. You must pave the road for others.

So how to stay the course? Surround yourself with role models and mentors. Surround yourself with people who have the same goals rather than the same problems. Yes, challenges will inspire you to push forward and grow. But if you hang out with people with nothing but problems then you will probably just languish with them.

Chances are if you are reading this, you are in network marketing and you are trying to create a solid, lucrative and meaningful business. If you are going to achieve that, you must earn it. You must push yourself each day to work in a productive manner. You become a leader because of your work ethic.

For things to change, you must change.
For things to get better, you must get better.

No one appoints you a leader in network marketing. People see what you see in yourself, when you are an example for others. You must personally commit every single day to change and grow. As you go through the struggles, you are becoming better and better.

Remember how I always say “Struggle is less painful than regret.”

You must demand change of yourself, increase your strengths and decrease your weaknesses. People don’t follow someone who is not going somewhere. Don’t accept failure. Ask any millionaire when they became successful and they will tell you about that almost defeating challenge that they overcame – that last time they got up again.

Be careful of what you think of challenges, it may just be that incredible hardship that makes you see who you really are…a life changing leader.

Grow, Change, Succeed!
With love,
Craig

Are You Ready To Take Charge?

May 11, 2012 by Craig Holiday · Leave a Comment

What will it take for you to achieve success? Do you think about that? I travel all over the country speaking to people who are trying to learn to be significant in the lives of others.

Yet, I still see a need for people to understand that it is not enough to KNOW that you need to develop relationships, that you need to care and add value to other people’s lives in order to become a true leader. The missing piece is that you need to put ENERGY into your business. You need to produce your own results. They don’t happen magically.

When you started your business, you hopefully wrote down goals that you wanted to achieve. My question to you is what actions do you take every day to get there? It takes energy, drive, productivity, engagement, and fulfillment.

If you could accomplish more on a daily, weekly and monthly basis, would you achieve more? Success is about doing the right actions at the right times consistently and relentlessly.

Here is a great tool that will help you:

Relationship Marketing: Lead through Influence

May 11, 2012 by Craig Holiday · 1 Comment

The Gold in Building a Thriving Business:
The more you’re willing to give of yourself, lift another up – the more your business will grow. I always preach significance. This is truly the heart and soul, foundation of your business growth. It requires giving before receiving. How many of you have witnessed in similar businesses – the “give” wasn’t there? You could almost “smell” a sale on them – that your purpose in their connection with you is only a sale? How does that feel?

Set Yourself Apart

With so many out there in network marketing that don’t “get it” – you can set yourself apart! Weak leaders create weak teams – that’s exactly what they do. It’s not what you’re doing. Or are you? Maybe you’ve been misinformed or misled, now today you can identify important ways to change. Fundamentals of success, involve: do the work and create a strong team with significance. Get along side of them, put your arm around them and walk with them. Leadership is not in front, pointing. It’s walking along side of people, guiding, that’s a true leader. You improve your leadership with this giving desire for others.

You lead through influence, not authority.

It comes down to your belief. Is it time to call yourself out? Are you seeing success in your business? If you don’t, it may be time to look at the way you approach leadership. People follow leaders because they’re convicted in their mission; they believe in success and change. We waste our time over thinking this; just be an encourager, share your enthusiasm, caring and work ethic. We are all relational beings. Remember that. Always remember that! Bring your heart into your business and you will see big changes! It’s not about you! When you get that, you will achieve true success.

Relationship Marketing: The Master Equalizer

May 8, 2012 by Craig Holiday · 1 Comment

The power in relationships is significance and success, they go hand in hand. Ignite those dreams in your life, it’s time to do something great, through relationships we have success. Most people don’t understand network marketing, it’s all about your friendships, your relationships, and a solid foundation of trust and caring, mentoring and then passing that torch to another. Leadership involves all aspects, your life, your home, your career should reflect you as a leader.

This is the master equalizer, take time to reach down and call out to your people. Some just need an affirmation, they need to hear what you believe about them. Engaging with them is gold, you have gold in your organization. Your leaders are going to come from the attention and growth you give. Believe in all of them, trust in a few. The value of people far outweighs gold, transform your success when you take this to heart. Great leaders know they are only as successful as the people they help and invest in.

So, what do you do if you don’t know how to be a great leader or mentor?

Self improvement! Every leader has a vast library of self improvement material to strengthen their weaknesses, retrain old bad habits. We all need it, no one comes out of the gate knowing exactly what to do – even with a great mentor. Truth is, this business is going to call you out; you’re going to see what you’re made of and where to improve. You have special DNA to be involved with this business, it will never go away and you’re here for a great reason. You’re here to help another find their way. When you help enough people realize their dreams, you’ll ultimately see yours through. It is the most natural cause and effect relation in life there is.

As I have been mentioning, there is a new book coming out for self improvement I highly recommend called The Charge. If you didn’t order it yet, get it here before the free copies run out.

After 15 years studying the most high-performing achievers in the world, Brendon Burchard found this:

To become one of them, you have to:

1. Become vastly more bold and PRODUCTIVE (i.e own your agenda and manage time flawlessly), and

2. Become much more influential via PERSUASION MASTERY ( so you can negotiate like a genius, and persuade like a world-class marketer)

Brendon figured this out himself and became a multi-millionaire in under two years. He went from bankruptcy to riches, literally.

Now you can download his BRILLIANT productivity planner and persuasion model here:

Brendon Burchard approaches success and achievement DIFFERENTLY and STRATEGICALLY .

He’s a multi-millionaire for a reason, and it’s because he knows how to get stuff done and influence others.

For those people who struggle with Time Management, the “1-Page Productivity Planner” download he put together for you will be a true life changer for you and your team.

And my favorite part of the video training is the strategies on how to persuade and influence others.

If you’ve ever wondered why some people succeed and others fail, this sums it up nicely. I’m excited to see you grow and succeed!

God Bless my friends-
Craig

Significance: Growth Within

May 1, 2012 by Craig Holiday · 2 Comments

Personal Development. Why We Will Always Continually Need To Grow:

I’ve been mentoring people on how to build their businesses for many years. I’ve helped several people achieve a 7 figure business and many reach 6 figures.

When you take a look at yourself and decide that you are ready to become a truly great leader, then you will put your personal growth at the top of your priority list. It is one of those things that at first can seem like a real struggle. First we have to partner with a trusted friend and ask them to be completely 100% honest with us. We need someone to mirror back what we are really good at as well as what we really need to work on.

You have to enter into self awareness with a lot of humility.

Sometimes, what we hear we need to improve on can hit us like a ton of bricks. Sometimes, we are not even aware that we have a certain character defect. So it takes a lot of courage and understanding that to become great, we must tear down some walls, we must grow and become better.

Here is what I have always told the people I mentor – and it is what my mentor taught me. Get with a trusted friend or advisor. It must be someone who knows you well enough to be aware of the best of you and the not so good parts as well. It must also be someone with maturity and experience to really know what matters in life and business. You don’t want feedback that you drive too fast, you want real, true personality evaluation.

Give that person the permission to be completely honest. Let them know this will be a completely out of the box experience and nothing will be held as a grudge. Now sit tight because you very well could be very surprised. You may find that the feed back you get is something you never expected.

This is why stepping up to being significant matters so much! We have to redefine ourselves, our past bias, while helping others to do so as well. This is how we transform and become more meaningful in peoples’ lives. And it’s going to start with you – it has to.

You need to remember who you are, what you were created for!!

It wasn’t to sit in the dark, distrusting others – being afraid. It wasn’t to languish in poor habits and negativity. God didn’t create you to live in FEAR. You have unique gifts and talent to be used!!

When you allow yourself to change, to grow – and you see how important it is so that you can then help others transform their lives, you will then become a true leader. Self awareness, humility, and willingness to be better person are characteristics that every single leader has who inspires others to greatness.

I know you are here reading this to learn how to achieve your destiny and be significant in more profound ways than you ever imagined. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey.

If you liked this article, please share it! And please leave me a comment about your experience in self awareness. I’m particularly interested in people who do the exercise I mention above. I would love to know what you learned, how you changed and what results that lead to. I’m doing an entire module on self awareness in my upcoming series, The Rhino Renegade. If you comment below you may be featured in that module.
