Iron Sharpens Iron - Especially in Your Home Business

There is an old Proverb that says, " As iron sharpens iron, so does one man sharpen another. "  This is so true in life, especially in building a home-based business.  Network Marketing is all about teamwork, coaching, and leading others.  It is not about managing and supervising others.

Charlie "Tremendous" Jones says, " Who you will become in the next five years will be a direct result of the books you've read and the people you've associated with. "  The truth is that the people we associate with are either doing something for us, or they're doing something to us.  They either encourage us toward our goals and dreams, or prevent us from reaching them.

• Are the people you associate with sharpening your skills?
• Are the people you're associating with sharpening your vision?
• Are they sharpening you're tenacity?
• Are they sharpening your leadership ability?
• Or, are they dulling it because of their inability to expand to your level?

Surround yourself with leaders who will encourage you and help sharpen your skills.  Find a mentor.  Seek out a leader in your organization.  It is also important for you to be the leader to your networking organization.  Be the leader who is always sharpening those around you.

Charge and Win,

Jonathan,

Thanks for the reminder to continually be a student. I think with anything it's easy to believe we know it all but especially with networking marketing since it can be so independent. You can't learn without becoming a better person and we should always seek to become better.

Experience never misleads; what you are missed by is only your judgement, and this misleads you by anticipating results from experience of a kind that is not produced by your experements. Do you think so?

Terry - you are right on - you can't learn or lead without becoming a better person. I will always be a student of the business. Remember John Maxwell's Law of the Lid - you can never lead anyone beyond where you are at.
