Will You Lead, Or Follow?

By • October 14, 2008 • Inspiration, Leaders, Online Marketing • 5 Comments

The time is right for you to be a leader. Here’s what’s going to happen as we move into tough economic times.

1. Corporations will continue to tighten belts and not care about you.
2. Hundreds of thousands will lose their jobs.
3. Followers will suffer.

At the end of the day, if you choose to follow someone else’s path, you’ll be one of those people losing their job most likely.

But, if you choose to lead, you’ll set your own agenda. You’ll choose your own plan for success. You’ll make your own way.

Leaders win in times of trouble because they have their own rules. Followers lose because they become the secondary thought of some leaders driven by greed, and then become expendable.

Now is the time to lead. Right now. Don’t be a follower, be a leader. Do it, right now.

I don’t know about you, but leading sounds like a better deal to me. You can do it if you really try.

Business Around A Lifestyle

The world changed on 9/11 in so many different ways. Since that day, there has been a major shift happening in the way people think and live their lives. Sure, many people still chase the dollar as their ultimate goal. However, many more people have begun to realize that the world could, well, end tomorrow.

That's why people are choosing to pursue a business around a lifestyle, instead of a lifestyle controlled by their business. It makes sense, right? If the world was going to end tomorrow, would you still try to live your life in a way you never wanted to?

Take a look around you and you'll see that this shift to becoming a lifestyle entrepreneur is being adopted by more and more people every day. Some of those people are falling into it because they have been laid off from their jobs and are literally forced into it. Some of those people just figure out a way to make it happen because of the "end of the world" thinking mentioned above.

    Good post. I tell people to find a way to make yourself absolutely indispensable. Usually that means uncharted territory and not-on-the-job-description behavior.
