Maybe I'm in a bad mood, but it seems to me that their are very few true leaders in home businesses. What do you think? It seems like so many people are out there shouting: "Follow me I can make you $30,000 by next week, I have a system." Then when you look deeper into their "system" it turns out to be the same crap everyone else is using. Look at it this way, there are only so many ways you can market effectively on the Internet. Which techniques work and which ones don't. A leader in a home business, someone who has people who look to them for guidance (someone people have joined in business because that promised to help make them money) should be able to guarantee some level of success to the people who follow them in business, don't you think? Obviously I do.



It has been said that leaders are born not made. I agree and disagree. There are born leaders and there are made leaders; there are people who lead that have no business leading, and there are also those who follow who could lead. What I'm trying to say is, you can develop into a leader if you have a burning desire for success and a roadmap to follow. If you have been involved with Internet, multi level, or network marketing for any amount of time, you have probably been deserted by the person who brought you into their business. What does it feel like to be mislead by people who were only after you for your money? For me, when I started my home business, being deserted by my upline stunk and this desertion made me angry and I quickly quit my business too--deserting those people I had brought into the company . At the time, I told myself the whole thing was a scam and I was stupid for getting involved.

After some reflection, I realized my failure in my home business was not my upline's, my company's, or the Internet marketing industry's fault, it was my own. The first step in leadership is taking ownership for what you are responsible for. There are too many people in the home business industry who want to blame everyone except themselves for their hardships and failures in business. Running a business is hard and sometimes frustrating work, it pays to follow someone who can pave the way for us to follow. So that is what I did, I found someone I felt I could trust, someone who I liked, and someone who had achieved a level of success I wanted and I followed them. They led and I followed. He said "jump" I said "how high"?

Well, guess what, his leadership rubbed off on me. By following a leader you acquire their traits because following is 60% dedication 40% duplication. If you do what your leader tells you enough times those things you do become how you do things too. If you can emulate and learn enough money making habits and knowledge not only will you make a lot of money in your home business, but you will teach others to do the same. You will be a leader and you will teach others to be leaders as well.
