Be A Legacy Networking Tip #4

Emulate A Leader

Take time and think of someone who is successful in your field. Or in the field you are passionate about being in.
  • Who is that person?
  • What do you admire or respect about them?
  • Why they are important to you?
  • What makes them stand out to you?
  • What can I learn from them?

They can mentor you with out ever meeting you! Look at what you feel makes them a leader in the field or industry. How can you do some of the things that they do? How can you get educated like them?

When the challenges arise in your business, and they will, you can ask yourself, "What would he/she do, well why don't I just do that?" And then just do it!

Even if you have never personally met them you can see how they get involved, what they do well or what mistakes they have made and course correct yourself as needed.

You can have several people that you admire and respect that you choose to take bits and pieces and make your life much more productive.

Look in all the areas of your life to find people to mentor you. I have chosen people in my walk of faith, industry, relationships and child rearing. This has been a great tool for me to get better in all areas of my life.

Know that people may be watching you as their mentor! How are you living your life? How can you live in a way that people will do what is great in you?
