FasTRaX Leadership

Steven Covey, best selling author of the book "The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People" once wrote "Management works in the system. Leadership works on the system." In order for successful leadership to accomplish that task, it must first accomplish three other tasks:

• Leadership knows what the final task looks like when it is completed.
• Leadership knows where it is going and how it is going to accomplish the task.
• Leadership is a team sport. It knows how to influence other people to accomplish the task.

I know the question you are asking. “I am an expert at what I do. Why can’t I just open my doors for business and let the customers come flocking in?” The truth is that even if you only lead yourself, Leadership is the element that will make or break your business idea. If you want to become a business success you will have to become a leader. It is an absolute that cannot be avoided. Why?

• Leaders carry the VISION – what the business will look like when it is finished.
• Leaders step forward and become ACCOUNTABLE – no one else will accept the responsibility for you success.
• Leaders are the role MODELS – people associated with you will follow you regardless of your leadership style.

What is the difference between a Leader and Leadership?

We have all heard since childhood other people say, "Leaders are born, not made." You can see "leaders" everywhere: on the playground; in school; in the military; our political system, and of course, at work. But what quality really makes for a good leader? Is it really that natural tendency to take charge as so many would have you believe? Is it the charismatic person who can sway the crowds with their charm? Is the leader the person who wants to take charge, or is it the person who knows how to accomplish the task set before them?

• Leadership is the art of using other people to accomplish a task.
• A leader is the person who steps forward and becomes accountable for accomplishing a task.

Start with FasTRaX Leadership and avoid the pitfalls of the 80%

The FasTRaX Journey begins with Leadership because it encompasses the personal growth a person needs to become a successful business owner and investor. Success and wealth is not about the amount of money you have, rather, it is about the amount of money you keep. Statistics show that 90% of the people who suddenly come into large amounts of money (inheritance, winning the lottery) lose the money within 10 years and in many cases are worse off financially than when they had no money. Zig Ziglar, world famous speaker and author on the topic of successful selling and motivation, has the philosophy "You can have anything in this life, as long as you help enough other people get what they want." It is a philosophy stated over and over again by hundreds of successful people in all walks of life. Leadership begins with the dual understanding that "before you can lead others, you first must lead yourself" and "If it's going to be, it's up to me." Once you accept those as facts you will come to the realization that if you want to expand your financial horizons the journey begins here.
