If you’re thinking about moving up to leadership in your company, here are some things you can do right now to help prepare. Seize the day!

  1. Set your target date to achieve your goal.  You may not hit the exact date, but experience shows that you will be more likely to succeed if you have a date in mind.
  2. Associate with people who are achieving goals and are dedicated to reaching goals similar to yours.
  3. Be persistently positive and consistently active in moving closer to the career level.
  4. Ask everyone you meet to hear about your income earning opportunity. Talk to an up line leader daily about the people you meet.
  5. Plan to attend all training classes provided to enhance your business knowledge and strengthen your confidence.
  6. Shadow a leader at that career level, learning from the things he/she does to be successful.
  7. Have an open mind and soak up all the knowledge possible to become the best in whatever you do.

In short, make a plan, commit to it, and then work it!  What other steps might be helpful?
