The Daily 1/2 Dozen Things

by Michael S. Clouse

If it's true—and it is—that leadership can only exist when people are willing to follow, we must be asking ourselves, "Why would someone want to follow me?" And the best answer is, because you're doing, The Daily 1/2 Dozen Things!

So what are The Daily 1/2 Dozen Things that will make 80% of the difference? Take a look...

Your Daily Activity
1) Using your personal success planner, focus on your goals for 15 minutes each day! Know "where" you're going and "why?"

2) Listen to 30 minutes of an audiotape or CD every day! Remember to focus on: Prospecting—because you've got to find 'em. Presentation—because you've got to enroll 'em. And Duplication—because you've got to turn 'em into leaders who can do the same. Therefore, each month go to work on getting better in one area of your business.

3) Read ten pages of a good book every day. Remember if you can read and you choose not to, you are illiterate by choice! The "Your Library" link on nexera.com offers a great selection to choose from.

4) Expose two new prospects every day using a system anyone can duplicate (audio and video tapes, CDs and DVDs, e-mail and Website, two-on-one, or live event). And if you want to learn how to more quickly grow your empire, use the simple, proven, and extremely effective concepts taught on our best-selling audio program, Your Prospecting Toolbox available through nexera.com/ypt.

5) Follow-up with your prospects... Get them "in" and then get them "involved!" Because if they see you as a successful business-builder—and as a friend—they will stay in the game even longer.

6) Follow through with your distributors—those you've perceived as potential leaders. Meet with them weekly for the first year—at the weekly events—and invest some quality one-on-one time with them as well. Because, again, this business is not about getting them in, it's about keeping them in... And they're not "in" until they're involved.

You don't need to work every day—but on the days you do work, these are the daily activities designed to make you a superstar. Remember: Easy to do! Easy not to do!

For the next three months, experience success by doing The Daily 1/2 Dozen Things, and watch your organization multiply.

All the best,
MSC
