Only Followers Make More Money
Leaders are key in business and motivation, but if
you truly want to make money you need to be a
follower. I was thinking of two very special clients
tonight who have experienced some very massive
success in 6 months. When Paige and Brian came to
me they were barely getting by
(and this is NO exaggeration). They needed help in
their business and they needed direction. From our
first session I was pretty tough with them. But, I also
loved them from the first five minutes of our call.
I told them they had to do exactly what I asked them
to. Period. That's how I coach.

I could go on and on, but the point is they did exactly
what I asked them to do every single time I asked them
to do it. They have called me in tears, in cheers, in
confusion, and in clarity, but always with an absolute
trust and a willingness to follow. When I was growing
my business I did the same:

I humbly agreed to be the best follower to ever be

What I have learned is most people would rather be
What I have learned is most people would rather be
right than rich. They would rather ask questions
than obediently take action. Are you doing all that
is asked of you by your coach and mentor - and
I don't mean most - I mean EVERYTHING? Because
it takes 100% commitment to follow and take action
on exactly what they share has worked for them.
Why would you work with someone and then not take
their advice and direction? What does it say about
you that you invest (or don't invest at all) and then
ignore the information?
Paige and Brain got it and now they have regular 5
Paige and Brain got it and now they have regular 5
figure months. Being a follower pays off and it keeps
paying off. They emailed me to say they want to
renew the current program they are in
(it doesn't even end until July) but they wanted
me to know now.
I responded - you will always have a seat at my table.

No reservations needed.
You see followers want to hang out with other followers
You see followers want to hang out with other followers
because they know the key to success. Thank you,
Paige and Brian, for reminding me of what works.
To be a leader you must be a great follower.
