Is Hypnosis For You?

In our business, we have 5 fundamental strategies for success that we call: ‘The 5 Pillars Of Success’. These are 5 principles that are used as a daily ’success checklist’ by which we run our business and our lives.

One of those ‘Pillars Of Success’ is ‘The Expectation Of Leadership In Yourself And Others’. Think about this for a moment. Our entire life, in all the various roles in which we find ourselves, we expect, and demand, leadership from those around us.

To be a leader, we need to first start respecting ourselves. We need to show up every day in our lives and in our businesses and give both the respect they deserve. Quite simply, we can not expect respect from others if we don’t respect ourselves.

We expect the boss to lead the company. We expect sales assistants to ‘be in charge’ for us so that we can select and pay for our goods. We expect bank clerks to lead us through our financial transactions.

Wed expect leadership in others literally every day. What then of the leadership we expect from ourselves? If we expect those around us to be in leadership for us, shouldn’t we shoulder some of the responsibility of leadership too? Shouldn’t we be demanding that we are also a role model?

So, the next time you are standing in line at the bank, or cussing the traffic warden for leaving a ticket on your car, ask yourself this – Are you a good leader for others in every area of your life every single day?

If you are fulfilling your duty as a leader, congratulations, I can guarantee that your life and your business are thriving right now. However, if you’re not currently being the leader that you should be, before you point the finger of blame at somebody else, remember that that you are no better than them, and people you know are pointing at and blaming you.
