Over this past weekend, I got a little frustrated. I was flipping through the Facebook feed, and there was a video of somebody talking about how poor people are kept poor.
I've got to tell you, I was so frustrated listening to this guy, and knowing that there are people out there that are clicking this and telling themselves, "Yeah, this guy is so right! Of course, there is a system in place that keeps me poor. There is a system that keeps me held down!"
We found so many businesses and leaders that have been struggling with this. I want to help you get to a place of leading your team members, maybe even helping yourself. Maybe this is you if you as a leader or struggling with this. So let's BUST this myth:
1. As a leader, it is your job to make your team successful.
Let them know that there is an opportunity for them to absolutely hustle and win with money. You have to show them, and be willing to pay someone who does. You've got to start there. What are you willing to give to them if they will go bust it? Bring money in, I'll share it with you, period! That's it.
2. How can they help or support other areas to bring in more revenue?
You have to look at that as well. Are they just in an admin role, or are they supporting an area that is creating more revenue? They're actually a part of that process. How do I share with them? Obviously, I'm going to pay them a great salary, but do I also give them part of profit sharing? What do I do? You have think through and allow them to see that they have an opportunity as well.
3. Invest in your team.
My team is well aware that I am willing to spend money on them becoming better if they can show me how they can, and they can prove that it is actually work. I will pay for it. I will spend money on my team members to become better so that they can make even more money. I'm all about that.
4. Teach your team to serve, serve, serve.
Like I said, almost every single job that I have ever had in some way, shape, or form served people. It took care of people. It helped people. Serving people. Helping them to get what they need, you will never worry about having enough, period. Again, as we talked with Rabbi Lapin, you have to become obsessively preoccupied with the needs of others. As you serve well, and do well, money comes your way. People want to pay to have their lives changed, to have their businesses changed. That's common sense. We don't have to seek the money. Instead, we serve people. They take care of us in the process.
When you begin to make money, more money than ever before, because of it, you tend to bust it more. When you discover this key to wealth, when you discover this key of serving, working hard, busting it, hassling, taking care of people, you tend to do it more. You tend to realize that it's very difficult to feel entitled when you're taking care of other people. When you're helping other people get their needs met, it's really difficult for you to go, "I need my handout."
There are champions out there who want it. They want the opportunity!
Do those things and you will have a team that's focused on serving. You will have a team that's focused on gaining wealth. You will have a team that is focused on growing your business.
It is all about changing your mindset, not only yours but that of your teams. If you can have a team that has this kind of mindset, there is nothing you can't accomplish.
