Become a collector of TOOLS đź§°
I want to talk about a lesson that I learned from a very, very successful
businesswoman.
So one of the lessons that I recently learned from a very
successful businesswoman, a businesswoman that runs or manages the Rock, the
Rock, the guy who was in Jumanji and all of that and bunch of other very
successful people. She's a very successful businesswoman. Very fit, very
strong, and I was listening to her speech, and one of the things she said
straight away made a groove in my brain. I thought success leaves clues, need
to pick that up right away.
And the thing she shared was that, when she was
asked, why are you so successful? Why you achieve so much and she's a very
wealthy woman. She's very accomplished. She said, I am a collector of tools. She
goes from the very early age. When I was in college and university, I started
collecting tools that would help me later in my career and because she's like
in entertainment industry and fitness and managing people, she assembled an
arsenal of tools that helps her to do her job extremely well. And that's why
she gets hired by celebrities, by very wealthy people to manage them and all of
that.
Now,
I thought, this really applies very well to network marketing because network
marketing as well requires a certain set of tools in order for you to perform
very well in this business, like sales skills, like recruitment skills, like
management skills, like personal growth and personal development, like
communication. You know what I mean? So there are certain skills, certain
tools, if you develop them, they can really help you like social media.
Social
media is a tool. So if you master social media, if you master Facebook, if you
master Instagram, if you master LinkedIn, then guess what? It's going to become
a very valuable tool for you to generate sales, to generate recruits, to
generate influence and so on. And there's a number of them that you can
develop. So my tip for you and something that I've been doing unknowingly up
until now, but now I'm going to be doing it very on purpose is to start
assembling tools, a set of tools that will help you to perform in your business
very well.
Now
also what she said that I thought it was absolutely genius. And it's so simple.
And most of the time, the simple things are the most genius is that she said, “Don't
be scared, not to know everything. Don't be scared, not being the best at
something.” So like, I understand and I admit that, hey, I'm not the best at
everything. Like I cannot be the best salesperson and the best recruiter and
the best trainer and the best speaker and the best social media guy and the
best tech guy and the best guy on the websites and the best guy for copywriting,
like can be the best at everything.
But you know what's the next best thing to
being the best at it is to know people who are the best at those things. I
remember listening to this interview by Richard Branson, the owner of Virgin Companies.
And he said, “Look, I'm not that smart, it's just I hire all the smartest
people in the world. I surround myself with people who are smarter than me who
are better at doing the jobs that I can't do and this way my companies become
very successful.” Doesn't that really apply to your business too? Absolutely.
I
can't be the best at everything. But if I can't be the best at something, I can
outsource it, I can hire somebody else to do that job for me. So if I'm not
best at something, or I don't really like doing something, I can hire somebody
else to do that bit. And then there's something else, I can hire somebody else
to do that bit and that bit and before you know it, again, you're assembling
tools, but the people are the tools.
Because somebody might be a tool to create
a website, somebody might be a tool to help to run SEO, somebody might be a
tool to help convert your videos into text, and write those into blogs,
somebody might be a tool at editing your video and adding subtitles that you
might not know how to do, and so on. So you can't be an expert in everything
because if you try to be an expert in everything, most likely, you won't be an
expert in anything. You know what I mean? You'll just be an amateur at all of
these things. But if you can get some other people to do certain things, then
you can focus on the things that are the most important to you.
The people can become assets for you, the people can become the tools for you
to achieve the things that you want to achieve. Does that make sense? I hope it
makes sense because for me, it was a big paradigm shift. It was a big shift in
my mindset, because for a very long time, I used to be the saying, if it's to
be, it's up to me, if you want it to be done right, you have to do it yourself.
That's like an idiot's thinking because then you will have to do everything by
yourself for the rest of your life. Do you want to do everything by yourself? I
don't want to do everything by myself.
So I learned to let go and let other
people to take over instead of me trying to be the best at everything. Like,
“Ah, get away. I'll do this better. Oh, get away, move away. I'll do this
better.” But then you'll be doing everything then, that doesn't make sense. You
want the freedom, you want the leverage, you want the business then you have to
let other people to take control and do certain things.
