Your Leadership IS Required |
||||
First of all, this is a business you’ve started. It is NO DIFFERENT than if you went out and bought a McDonald’s franchise or opened your own travel agency or anything else. You have to treat it that way. I see so many people get started in online businesses with a hobby mentality. Hobbies are expensive, and if you treat this business like a hobby, that’s exactly what it’s going to be. You need to intend it to be a business. If you treat it like a business, it’ll pay you like a business. If you don’t, then it won’t.
Second, people that get into online businesses because they don’t want to talk to other people are going to find some success, but they’re going to eventually hit a wall. Business is a people-centric undertaking regardless of how you might want it to be. You are eventually going to have to help people or you’re going to find your business crumbling very quickly beneath you. These online automated systems are awesome because you don’t have to cold call people or sell, but they are not a person-less business. Your leadership is still going to be required to help your new people get started, even if it’s just as simple as sending them an e-mail reminding them of a training call.
Just as an example, I work from home and I’m accustomed to a certain lifestyle. I wake up at about 8 AM every day to get moving and get on the morning call for my business, whether to listen or participate. I do this because I’ve chosen to do it. That’s as simple as it is. I decided I wanted to make an income and build the things I want from home, so I went out to find out how to do that. Simple stuff. But I had a new member that needed my help, and he happens to live someplace displaced about three time zones east of me.
Did I tell him I couldn’t help because his availability conflicted with my sleeping schedule? Some people might have, I don’t know, all I know is I sure couldn’t do that.
Why?
Because I value him as a team member. I want to make sure he gets the help he needs when he’s able to get it. He was very appreciate for the time we spent on the phone and I know he’s going to go out now and make something happen. If you can’t be bothered with that, if you can’t see how helping someone else makes a positive change in your life as well, then there’s nothing that can be done until you change you frame of mind. Be the example and realize that your leadership is required.
