7 effective leadership tips
Published: Wed, 10/26/11
Greetings from Eric Wilkes.
It's fall and the cooler weather is finally on its
way to Arizona! For you it may already be in
full effect! I'm pumped because it means I can
have my windows open all day every day! I
know I'm heading up to northern AZ this weekend
for some camping/hunting and looking at the temps
there's suppose to be an overnight low of 23
degrees!!!! WHOA that's cold! Especially when
you're camping in a TENT!! haha
Which leads me to our order of business, I've
been reading (a lot more than normal! I just
don't like to read that much but I know it's important
or I would be doing a disservice to you!) about leadership
and expanding my knowledge. So I decided to share
with you some things that I've learned the past couple
of days.
#1 - Leadership isn't an ego game ( check it at the door),
there's no room for it here.
#2 - Leadership = responsibility you have to accept that
#3 - It means you MUST set aside your own personal desires
and think about what's best for the entire group and the task
at hand.
#4 - It means SERVICE! I've known this for a very long time
but I haven't always followed it....it took me some time to learn
this trait as I used to be all about making a quick buck...I've
since discovered it's about guiding and serving others to help
them get what they've expressed a need, want or desire for.
#5 - Loyalty, if you're going to be accepted as the leader you
must respect the decisions of your followers. If they're not ready,
no matter how good the idea, you're best to remain patient and try
a different approach. You must learn to work with people and
situations as they are, not as you would like them to be.
#6 - Be flexible, you have to adapt to certain situations or people
and make the best of what you have in order to accomplish the
task at hand. Not everything is simple or easy, but who would be
a good leader if you didn't invite a good challenge?
#7 - Less talk and more action. True leaders lead by example
and pave the way for others without question even if there's
a chance for failure. Real leaders aren't emotional or partial
at the thought of success or failure they just roll with punches.
Know when to give support and when to accept responsibilty
for your actions (if they were wrong), don't worry about criticism
it's all part of it.
Above all, a true leader is never in a relationship with success nor
fearful of failure. True success comes from your ability to work as
much as possible through others as the leader and inspire them to
move forward.The old saying "You can't push a rope", but you can
pull it, and as the leader that's your responsibility, pull people, never
push!
I hope you enjoyed this as much as I enjoyed writing it. Hopefully
you found it both valuable and beneficial to your life, if you did,
simply click "reply" on this email and let me know your thoughts.
I would love to hear from you!
To YOUR success,
Eric Wilkes
PS - If you have followed my since July or before that you probably
remember me sharing the "Marketing Blueprint"
My friend mentor and business partner Mark Hoverson has
decided to re-open the doors.But he's only willing to open his
door for a very limited time and to a very limited number
of people. If you missed it the first time, act quickly.
The doors for your chance to step inside the mind of
an 8-figure earner opens this Thursday, OCT 27th
a 7pm EST sharpe)
And I just got this email from him...instructing the
affiliates about the urgency of getting these details
to you right away. Here is an exact reprint of his
email (Hint: notice how he explains the differences
and legit scarcity of this PLUS launch vs. the original
launch. It's amazing).
"Hey guys it's Mark. I'm jazzed to have your support
for all this stuff. Make sure the people on your list
know the info below:
Blueprint "PLUS" is focusing on intimacy,
and a WAY WAY WAY deeper impact on the
new round of students...
Here's why the impact will be so much deeper:
#1- In the original launch, we released the
epically powerful 7 modules. Students watched
them. Applied them. And loved it. Many leaders
in the industry have whispered to me, "Mark,
this is the very best stuff I've ever seen." And
newbies that have never made a penny, are
f-i-n-a-l-l-y seeing breakthroughs. (The course
can easily contend with any $1997 course online
right now...easily).
BUT---I had zero interaction with them during
the modules. None whatsoever. So if they had
further questions on implementation. Or wanted
to bounce ideas off me. It was impossible.
So #2- PLUS is adding 7 consecutive weeks
of high level private (and small webinars). Each
week, the new round of students will have
60-90 minutes of 8-figure Q & A with me. Lazer
on-the-spot coaching. Obviously, we can't have
2000 people on a webinar like that. It would lose
all intimacy. So we have to limit the number of
new buyers on this relaunch.
#3- The level of interaction and intimacy the new
round of PLUS buyers will have with me is easily
worth a $997 course all by itself.
#4- But we didn't stop there with PLUS. We added
the ultimate PLUS factor. A high end, interactive,
pitch-free LIVE event workshop. This is NOT a
typical $297 pitch-fest with a zillion speakers
(those are actually great and I love them). But this
is one full day of mainly just me. These style of
events are usually $1K per day in our industry.
Again...obviously, because of the size of the meeting
room at the hotel, we HAVE to limit the number of new buyers
on this relaunch.
#5- We are going to change people's lives in major
ways through this Blueprint PLUS project. It is infinitely
more powerful than the original Blueprint launch.
We had almost 2500 new buyers on the original blueprint.
How many will be allowed into PLUS?
Less than 500. Less than 400.
Because of space limitations and to gaurantee
the intimacy factor, we will only open 350 spots total.
And I have a sneaky suspicion those spots will
fill fast. Very fast.
So make sure you tell everyone on your list about this
life-changing PLUS relaunch. I personally gaurantee anyone
who is part of the 350 people will have an amazing, unfair,
wickedly wonderful advantage over the rest of the industry."

pps...I'm excited for the 350 people who get inside
this PLUS project. It will be life-changing indeed.
