I have heard the saying throughout my years of network marketing that 

a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.  In network marketing, 

followers are what we actually want.  But, we must keep in mind that 

this business of network marketing is like a volunteer fire department 

or a volunteer army.  People choose to participate and they also choose 

to follow you or not.  This participation depends in part on how great 

of a leader you are.

John C, Maxwell, one of my favorite authors, wrote in his book, 

"Developing the Leader Within You", that leadership means to 

influence others.  He says, "Everyone talks about it; few understand 

it.  Most people want it; few achieve it."  This is so profound.  He 

defines leadership as the ability to get followers.  Many think that 

having the ability to get followers makes them great leaders or shall 

I say put them in a leadership position.  

Having  big list that you have built into a downline does not necessarily 

make you that leader, especially one with influence.  Developing a strong 

link between business and people in your downline or people on your team, 

products and up line training systems is a learning process and will help 

you with developing and cultivating your networking business and the goal 

of realizing your dreams and financial security and becoming the influence 

that you want as a leader.

The bottom line is being a good leader is being the person others will 

gladly follow and build a lasting business relationship with.  When this 

happens, I think it is safe to say that you have reached that level of 

leadership that that can most certainly influence others.
