Step 5 to becoming a great leader


7 Steps to becoming a great Leader

            #5- Focus on your strengths

            We have all heard the saying; You are only as strong as your weakest link. This saying is true but in the case of being a leader it may not be necessary. As a leader your job is to find what people are good at and have them do that job. This will make them happy and also help them be successful. Nobody wants to be forced to do a job they hate. Use them for their strengths and use other members of the team to make up for their weaknesses.

            You as a leader can also use this same approach. You can focus on what you are good at and build on it. The things you are not good at you can find a person that you trust to do it for you. For example, I am not good at accounting or dealing with money. I hire an accountant to do my books and this allows me time to focus on training and taking care of my social media at FLO. These are things I consider my strengths, therefore they are what I should be focusing on.

            I am not saying you should not know about the other things, what I am saying is that you should not spend too much time on the other things. The time it will take you to learn the new skill could be time spent on expanding something else. Also, what is the point of having great followers if you don’t trust them to do a good job? You should only align yourself with people you trust and care about. Most likely they want to be involved. The people that follow a leader should believe in the leader’s vision so much that they want to help.

My buddy Rich always says, “Do what you do best and hire the rest.”.  This is a good saying to take with you. It is good to be a jack of all trades but in order to be Great you must master one.  Focus on that one, and the people you need to help you on your mission will be provided by the universe.

Taking the NEXT STEP

Taking the NEXT STEP!! Im sure we have all reached a  point in our lives where we know its time to take that next step, next level, begin the next chapter in our life. It is by far  one of the scariest times for all of us. The point where we realize everything we have ever done has led us to THIS! This is our moment to shine and like Eminem says, " You only get one shot, do not miss your chance blow. Opportunity comes once in a life.".  The one scary thing is, you know after THIS moment, nothing will ever be the same.  Once you cross THIS line, you can not go back.  THIS is it and the pressure is on. They say, "Pressure bust pipes, but It can also make diamonds.", only you can decide what it does to you.  We all get to THIS moment, but few rise to the occasion. Few feel the fear and keep walking forward.  You can either step into greatness or step back into comfort.  Many will choose to step down and let THIS moment pass them by. Once they do that, the rest of t

Positive Attracts Positive

Ever hang around some negative people or in a negative environment? How did you feel during and after you had left? Did you feel drained of energy and just not happy about the situation you were currently in? Guess what.. your attitude, drive and passion effects others around you. If you create that positive energy and always surround yourself with positive, upbeat, driven people, you can only find more success in life. Being surrounded by my Flo Family along with everyone else such as Patrick Lerouge (www.revivetm.com) or Paul Newell (www.balancedwellness.org), I started to see my true potential and what I am truly capable of. They bring out the best in me because of their positive energy. They believe I can do it and push me to my limits. Even when I feel so uncomfortable with doing something, such as speaking in front of a group... they pushed me knowing that I could do it. I would have never seen myself get this far into my career without the Flo Family. I have learned so much, m

Are you brave enough for a COLD SHOWER?

Why I Take Cold Showers And You Should Too For the past three years I’ve taken a cold shower almost every single day. You might think I’m crazy and at first; trust me, at first I thought I was too. But hold your judgment, hear me out, give it a try and then you can thank me. What are the benefits of cold showers? 1.     Improve Mood A 2007 study looked at how cold showers affected people with depression. Here is what the authors of the study hypothesized: “Exposure to cold is known to activate the sympathetic nervous system and increase the blood level of beta-endorphin and noradrenaline and to increase synaptic release of noradrenaline in the brain as well. Additionally, due to the high density of cold receptors in the skin, a cold shower is expected to send an overwhelming amount of electrical impulses from peripheral nerve endings to the brain, which could result in an anti-depressive effect.” The study ended up finding that cold showers of 2-3 minutes helpe
