There are two ways of spreading light …To be the candle, or the mirror that reflects it. ~ Edith Wharton ~

Have you ever stopped to really think about the fact that there is an abundance of  bad news, cynicism, negative feedback, and poor self esteem, within the lives of many of your partners, and how this is directly affecting their level of success in business?

It has a major effect, believe me. However, there is a way to move right past this hurdle.

Today we are going to dive right into a topic that is of utmost importance if you want to have a meaningful level of success in your home business NOW. Let’s talk about How To Become a Master At Empowering Others.

Empowering your “prosperity partners” is about “building them up” or it could also be in the form of “talking them up.”  As a business leader, you must become a master at empowering others because a strong confident team equates to a successful, prosperous organization of leaders.

When you speak to prospects about your business, products, and/or services, and opportunity, always praise your team leadership sincerely and often. It’s so amazing what a positive effect a simple, sincere compliment can have on people and their productivity.

When you empower your key people, whom are in or soon to be in leadership positions, you are in essence, building them up and establishing instant credibility and respect with your prospect; you’re also letting your prospect know, indirectly, that you have a positive support system on your team and that is available to assist them as well.

Your team will thrive from the heartfelt praise and when people feel good about themselves that higher level of self-esteem will carry over into all aspects of their lives.

It seems we’re very quick to point out flaws in others which will only serve to reinforce their self doubts…instead compliment them…give praise and encouragement!

When you, as the leader, portray a “can do” and an “I believe in you” attitude, miracles will occur within your organization. The positive synergy created within your team, will carry everyone associated with the team all the way to the top of the company.

Energy is contagious, so be sure the energy created on your team is inspiring and positive (remember, a winning mindset is the key ingredient).

Teach your team members to be accountable to themselves but more importantly to each other and to the team as a whole. When everyone shows up to support the presentation or to participate in the trainings, the message is a powerful message of unity and teamwork.

When one or more team member’s makes excuses, week after week as to why they keep missing important team events, you, as the leader must confront them. Confronting others doesn’t have to be a painful experience because it is an opportunity to guide them to get back on track and to remember their goals and their importance to the team.

When confronting someone, be sure to point out two or three positive characteristics about the person being confronted and then communicate how important team support is to the overall goal of the team.

Explain to them what their role is within the team and how their prosperity partners are counting on them. Have all constructive conversations privately and make sure you maintain your positive, “we can do it together” attitude throughout.

I believe you!
