Eileen Fisher’s Leadership Advice

Recently, Eileen Fisher–fashion designer–was featured in the September 26, 2011 issue of Fortune Magazine (pg 50-52).  The article discussed her journey from a college graduate to becoming an owner and leader of her own fashion design company.

It was interesting to read how she launched her own business from a single idea,  and to learn of the struggles she went through to become a successful leader in the fashion industry.

Eileen Fisher shared six practical lessons she learned as she rose to the top in her industry.

1. “Don’t pretend to know.  If you act like a know-it-all, then no one will tell you anything. If you don’t know, people come forward and want to tell you.  People like to give advice and help.”

Stevies advice:  Be humble enough to ask; be wise enough to judge between the good and bad advice you get.  Seek the counsel of others who may see things from a different perspective.  Act upon what you feel is right for you and your business.

2.  “Be authentic.  Doing good can’t be a trumped up thing.  It has to come from within and be what you really want to do, or else it rings hollow.”

SA: Be yourself.  Be sincere.  Let people see the real you.

3.  “Tell the truth.  You’re not just trying to sell customers something in the moment.  You’re trying to get them something they’ll love that’s going to work for them.”

SA:  Be honest with yourself and your customers. Under promise and over deliver. Seek to develop a long-term relationship with others.  Dishonesty breaks the bonds of trust. When trust is gone, so are your customers.

4.  “Accept perfect enough. We’ve adopted the saying, ‘Let it go–it’s perfect enough’. Often the first time you produce a garment (your product or service). . . you have to tweak it.   In the mistake is the next success.”

SA:  Learn from your mistakes.  Never give up.  Keep on trying.  Your next success may just be around the corner, but you will never know unless you keep trying.

5.  “Focus first.  Because I used one fabric to start, I was able to purchase a larger amount, dye enough, move it from one style to another.  Then there came a point that it was aching to break out of its little box.”

SA: Become excellent at one thing at a time before you move on to a different thing.  Diversify when you are top of your game.

6.  “Make it safe to tell the truth.  People don’t want to say, ‘that didn’t work,’ but we want to hear the truth.  You might be giving us information that will bring us to a really good place.”

SA:  If your culture is to punish, people will hide behind the truth by only giving you half of it, or worse, just telling you what you want to hear.  Work to develop the trust of your people so they are comfortable telling you how it really is–good or bad.  Remove your ego and don’t take what they say personally.  Use what you learn to grow and become better.

The 5 Laws Of Stratospheric Success

This past weekend I read “The Go-Giver” by Bob Burg and John David Mann.  The book was recommended to me by a friend and now I am recommending it to others.

“The Go-Giver” is a story about a go-getter who learns how to give, and in turn, gets everything he wants through the application of the 5 Laws Of Stratospheric Success.

Here are the 5 Laws of Stratospheric Success, followed by a few take-aways I picked up as I was reading through the story.

THE LAW OF VALUE “Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment.”

“All great fortunes in the world have been created by men and women who have a greater passion for what they are giving — their product, service, or idea — than what they are getting.”

They care more for what they are giving than the compensation they receive for doing so.”  Can you think of anyone who this describes?  Steve Jobs was one of the few that came to my mind.

“All things being equal, people will do business and refer business to those people they know, like and trust.”  This concept is strengthened by the Law of Influence, mentioned later.

THE LAW OF COMPENSATION“Your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them.”

The first law determines how valuable you are, your potential for success, what you can earn etc.  The second law determines what you actually earn.

Martin Luther King Jr. was quoted, “Everybody can be great because anybody can serve.”  In other words, Everybody can be successful because anybody can give.  Sometimes you feel foolish, even look foolish, but you do the thing anyway.  Be willing to DO and not be worried about what others may think.

“Being broke and being rich are decisions, (you decide) everything else is just how it plays out.  You get what you expect and focus on.  You can turn your life around with a simple decision to change what you expect and focus on.

The 3 universal reasons for working:  SURVIVE (to meet your basic needs), SAVE (to go beyond your basic needs and expand your lifestyle), AND SERVE (make a contribution to the world around you).  Most work to survive.  Some work to save.  Only a select few work to serve and they are the ones who become rich.

THE LAW OF INFLUENCE “Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people’s interests first.”

To succeed in business you must know how to develop a network of people who know you, like you, and trust you;  people you are personally interested in seeing that you succeed.  Why are they interested in your success?  Because you are interested in theirs.

How do you create influence?  By placing other people’s interests first.  Stop keeping score.  Make your win about the other person.  See to it that they get what they want.  When you place other people’s interests first, your interests will always be taken care of.

This concept was hard for me to swallow, but as the book suggests, the only way to know if it works is by acting upon it with faith, knowing that you will get what you need by watching out for other people’s needs first.

THE LAW OF AUTHENTICITY“The most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself”

It’s the value you bring to the marketplace that other people are attracted to.  What are you giving others to make their life more valuable?  Jim Rohn has said you can determine the value a person brings to the marketplace by the size of their paycheck.   Small check, little value.  Huge check, great value!

So what if you need to make a lot money?  Find a way to increase the value you bring to the marketplace.  The more valuable you become to others, the greater your net worth will become, in more ways than one.

THE LAW OF RECEPTIVITY“The key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving.”

I know some people who are uncomfortable receiving anything — a gift, a compliment, and sometimes even charity when it is needed.  Every act of giving can only happen when someone else is willing to receive.

How many blessings have you denied yourself because you weren’t willing or ready to receive them?

May I suggest that in the process of giving to others, that you open yourself to receive as well?  It is only through receiving that we are able to continue to give.  “PAYING IT FORWARD” is another way to state this concept.

Receiving is the natural result of giving.  When someone gives you a gift (whatever it may be) what right do you have to refuse it and deny their right to give? Accept it graciously, as this will allow you to give to others too.

Well there was much more in the book than I can share here in a short blog post.  And what I took from the book will be completely different from you will take from it because we all are on different roads through our journey in life.  “The Go-Giver”  by Bob Burg and John David Mann is a great story at the right time and I highly recommend that you read it!

The Best Network Marketer Ever

[Article written by Don0van Baldwin, courtesy of ezinearticles.com]

I’ve used the story before, but this time I’m going to take it a little further along. In his book, “Super Prospecting: Special Offers & Quick-Start Systems”, Tom “Big Al” Schreiter tells the story of a young lumberjack who was too busy trying to cut down a tree with a dull axe to take it to the hardware store to get it sharpened. His point was, of course, that you need to acquire and prepare your tools in order to be effective in your network marketing business, and that it is worth the time and effort to prepare for success.

He also talks about a fact of life that anybody in marketing knows to be true…almost all of us HATE to sell! You want people to BUY from you, but you HATE to sell things. This is particularly true when you first start out. You are nervous, afraid that you will make a mistake, worried about what people will think of you, and so on. So what happens? Most of you will miss quite a few opportunities to get your businesses off the ground. Most of you will do little or nothing in the way of sales or recruiting. Most of you will fade away and leave network marketing with a bitter taste in your mouths. All because most of us are afraid of selling, or making fools of ourselves.

This brings us back to Big Al’s young lumberjack. Big Al left him in the woods in his book, but, you see, I followed him to the hardware store, and here’s what REALLY happened.

My old buddy, Bob (I blame everything on Bob) was working behind the counter early that morning when the young lumberjack came in to get his axe sharpened. Bob had just gotten in some new items and had one in his hands when the lumberjack walked in. The lumberjack walked up to the counter, dropped his dull, rusty axe in front of Bob and said that he wanted it sharpened. His eyes got a little wide as he stared at the contraption on the counter.

An older lumberjack standing beside him said, “Young fellow, you need one of those if you are serious about making money in this business.”

The young lumberjack looked at him a little uncertainly.

“Oh, I’m serious, all right. I used to use an axe just like you, and I was going broke. But once I got my hands on one of those….”, the older man pointed to the chainsaw on the counter, and nodded his head significantly.

That’s when Bob chimed in, “Yes sir. They don’t make ‘em any better than these. Why, you’ll be able to do ten times the work in half the time than with that.” He gestured at the rusty old axe.

“I’ll take it,” cried the young man, and throwing a wad of bills on the counter he ran out the door holding his new prize.

Now, this should have been a happy ending, just as new network marketers taking their bright and shining faces and glossy new brochures into the wide wonderful world should live happily ever after.

That’s in fairy tales.

Just before closing that evening, as Bob was waiting on a few final customers, in stormed the young lumberjack. He was dirty. He was disheveled. He had tree bark in his hair and though the day was cold, his clothes were soaked with sweat. Almost running across the room, he threw the chainsaw on the counter, grabbed Bob by the front of his shirt, and roared, “Give me back my money, you lying cheat! I’ve worked all day with that piece of junk you conned me into buying, and I haven’t cut down a single tree!”

Well, Bob has always been one to see both sides of any situation, especially when life and limb were in danger, so he very rapidly produced the young man’s refund. Several people who had been standing around looking at the new shipment of chainsaws looked at each other, shook their heads knowingly, and headed for the door right behind the young man. As he reached the street, he began telling everyone he passed how the guy in the hardware store had tried to cheat him out of his money. They all nodded. Everybody knew you couldn’t trust those guys! This just proved it.

Back in the hardware store, Bob was confused, though happy to be in one piece. Thet sort of thing could ruin his business! Why, he had tested that chainsaw not five minutes before the young man had come in that morning! It had worked like a charm! What could have gone wrong? He picked it up, gave the cord a yank…and it sprang to life with a strong, healthy roar. It worked just fine!

Out in the street, the young man was surrounded by a crowd which was almost on the verge of pulling Bob out of his establishment and lynching him as he raved on about how terrible his day had been and how that evil businessman had tried to take his money…and then!

As he heard the sound of the chainsaw coming from the hardware store, he stopped ranting for a second and said, “What the heck is that racket?”

The best network marketer is the one who truly believes what he or she has to say, and has the personal experience and belief to state it as fact. The best network marketer knows about his or her product and business. The best network marketer is the one who conveys facts, not just beliefs or hearsay. The best network marketer often doesn’t even “market” anything. A lot of times they just, well, you know, network!

If every network marketer could present the case for his or her product or service, and/or business opportunity, with the fervor and steadfast belief commonly shown by those who feel themselves wronged in some way, such as our young lumberjack friend, almost every network marketer would be successful.

Two morals to this story, by the way. Learn what you’re doing before leaving the safety of the city gates behind to face the wolves, and always remember, many of the people you deal with will advertise your business very effectively for you. Make sure they’ve got the right information and a reason to be happy to talk about you.

And for God’s sake, read the instruction manual! Your shiny new business will NOT start itself.

Get Good Coaching With The Mentoring For Free Program

EDITOR’S NOTE:  I recently ran across an article written by Tom Serpell called “Good Mentoring”.   He outlines the 12 key characteristics of good mentoring anyone can use to evaluate a mentor or mentoring program.   I have included it in this post in its entirety.   Here it is.

“Good Mentoring” by Tom Serpell

Mentoring works; but how?

There as about as many definitions of mentoring and its differences or similarities to coaching as there are mentors and coaches. Many would say that they are the same or a least cannot be clearly separated. What one can say is that having someone to talk to about issues that matter to you can make a huge difference. As to what works best in this regard, I have tried to sum up 12 key characteristics of mentoring:

1. Good mentoring is purposeful: we do not just sit down for a chat when we mentor. We are there to help address a cause of stress or uncertainty; a lack of knowhow or resolution. Time is being taken so let it be used constructively. The first stage of mentoring must be to agree what the purpose is. In almost all cases, motivation and self-confidence are likely to be among outcomes sought – and obtained.

2. Good mentoring is conducted by someone relevant: in an informal setting a mentor can be someone with whom you share your concerns, maybe without either realising that mentoring is occurring. You will have chosen that person as someone you feel comfortable with, who will listen and may offer wisdom. In a business setting, we need that and more. Mentoring is about something related to your business life, in which you intend to invest time and possibly money. In business a return is expected from investment, so your mentor should be someone from whom you can gain such a return – who understands that issue because they have been there themselves.

3. Good mentoring involves listening not advising: Mentors do not advise; they listen actively. This means that they want to understand not only what the mentee says and means but what they are capable of by way of handling the issue. Questioning and listening are the mentor’s main techniques, even when it comes to offering their expertise. “Have you considered…?” and “What about….?” are typical ways of introducing method, rather than “You should…”.

4. A good mentor has only one agenda, the mentee’s: Those who see mentoring as a platform for self-promotion are not good mentors. Their approach to helping will be compromised by the outcomes they want, rather than the good of the mentee. Those who are thinking about their forthcoming holiday plans, tax return or job are not mentoring well. They are not listening actively. Clients and mentoring scheme organisers need to be sure that such behaviour cannot be expected from any potential mentor. Mentoring must focus solely on the purpose and need of the individual being mentored.

5. Good mentoring provides a sounding board: sometimes one needs to build one’s own confidence that what you think you want to do is right. Sometimes you need to sound off about the injustices of the world so that you can get them off your chest and get on with the day-job. Sometimes you need to share the burdens of responsibility with someone outside your hierarchy. These things need to be done with someone safe; someone whom you can trust neither to spread what you say nor condemn you for feeling that way. Mentoring demands trust and confidentiality.

6. A good mentor shares experience and hindsight: Story-telling is a valuable element in mentoring. Where it is based on the mentor’s background, it both strengthens the bond of confidence between the pair and enables the mentor to pass on the benefits of their experience and lessons learned without recommendation or advice. Questions like: “how else might I have approached this?” may draw conclusions from the mentee. Further evidence of a mentor’s experience may be found in their contacts database and market knowledge, which should be made available to the mentee by signposting resources for their own further investigation.

7. Good mentoring is confidential, open and mutually trusting: only such a framework will elicit real honesty and comprehensive understanding about the issues and feelings of both parties. The mentee needs to know that nothing that s/he says will be passed on to colleagues, managers, clients, friends or family, which could embarrass them. Mutuality enables the mentor to be self-critical for the benefit of the mentee.

8. Good mentoring develops the mentee’s skills: surely it is better to equip someone to solve their own problems, both current and future, even than to solve a current problem for them, leaving them dependent and lacking the knowhow? Mentoring holds a mirror up to the mentee and to the wider options open to them, raising their skills and capabilities more personally, effectively and lastingly than generic training.

9. Good mentoring explores options: Being close to operational or management problems can prevent you from stepping back to consider what options you may have for dealing with them. This can lead one to adopt the obvious or even just the first solution that presents itself, when there may be many alternatives, if only one can bring them to mind. A mentor – who should have such a toolbox of experience – will be better able to draw out such options, enabling the mentee to set each against the problems faced and select what seems best.

10. A good mentor challenges constructively: the trusted and open relationship between mentor and mentee should encourage frankness. The agenda being that of the mentee means that it is a duty of the mentor, where seeing the need, to challenge them as to their assessment of themselves, their options, their competence and not simply to nod through their opinions.

11. Good mentoring leads to better decisions: The increased skill; awareness of options; contacts sign-posted and confidence imbued via mentoring should all contribute to a mentee being able to make better decisions in the subject areas covered than hitherto.

12. Good mentoring leads to action: if mentoring is to be purposeful and effective for the mentee, it must surely not only define actions desirable but actually entail their execution. The mentee must not only know what to do and how to do it but be motivated to do so. For this reason mentoring should not be terminated before action has been taken; and may lead to it being measurable or valued, by its effects.

The Twelve Riches of Life

Napoleon Hill is most commonly known for his work, “Think And Grow Rich” where he outlines a success formula that anyone can apply to obtain the “riches” of life.  Most people interpret riches to be those of a monetary value, but in his later work, “The Master Key To Riches“, Napoleon Hill identifies the other types of riches people can enjoy and calls them the “Twelve Riches of Life”.   They are explained below.

#1. A POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE.  The only thing we have complete control over is our thoughts and state of mind. Choosing a positve state of mind is the starting point of all riches, tangible and intangible.

#2.  SOUND PHYSICAL HEALTH. “Without good health, you ain’t got much else”, someone once said.  Good health is achieved by having a “health consciousness”, temperance in eating habits, and participating in healthy physical activities.

#3.  HARMONY IN HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS.  Success cannot be achieved without the help of others.  Therefore it is important to maintain a spirit of cooperation with all those you associate with.

#4.  FREEDOM FROM FEAR.  Fears are nothing more than a negative state of mind, False Evidence Appearing Real.  Fears are a major stumbling block to the pursuit of riches.  The seven basic fears as defined in “Think And Grow Rich” are the fear of poverty, criticism, ill health, loss of love, loss of liberty, old age and the fear of death.  Fears must be turned into faith to be able to enjoy the riches of life.

#5.  THE HOPE OF ACHIEVEMENT.  Everyone needs something to live for.   Poor is the person who cannot look to the future with hope to become, to be or to have more in the future.

#6.  THE CAPACITY FOR FAITH.  “Faith is the fertile soil of the garden of the human mind wherein may be produced all the riches of life.”  Hope is the fuel and faith is the fire that ignites your desires and moves one into action.

#7.  WILLINGNESS TO SHARE ONE’S BLESSINGS.  There is a certain joy or happiness that comes from sharing your “riches” with others.  “Riches” are multiplied when they are shared.  “Riches” not shared die on the vine and are of use to no one.

#8.  A LABOR OF LOVE.  “There can be no richer man than he who has found a labor of love and is busily engaged in performing it. A labor of love is the highest form of human expression of desire.”

#9.  AN OPEN MIND ON ALL SUBJECTS.  Greater learning, education and knowledge comes to the person who is able to keep an open mind on all subjects.  We can learn something from everyone. Being willing to listen to others and being tolerant of their opinions will open the door to greater riches of life.

#10.  SELF-DISCIPLINE.  “The man who is not master of himself may never become the master of anything.”  Shakespeare said, “To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not be false to any man.”  He who is master of self may become the master of his own earthly destiny, the “master of his own fate, the captain of his soul.”

#11.  THE CAPACITY TO UNDERSTAND PEOPLE. People are fundamentally alike. They have the same desires, need and want the same things, and seek to be loved and recognized by others.  Understanding what motivates people is the foundation for gaining the cooperation of others and is one of the basic fundamentals of leadership.

#12.  ECONOMIC SECURITY.  Economic security is not based upon the money one possesses, but is attained by the service one renders to receive the money.  The more people one serves, the richer they will be monetarily.  The service one renders attracts the money one controls.

It is interesting to note that of the twelve riches mentioned, just one was tangible in the financial sense.  The other intangible “riches” are obtained through one’s self or others.  The one who is able to master and enjoy the “Twelve Riches Of Life” is indeed rich, not only monetarily, but rich in body, spirit, and mind as well.

For over six years, Michael Dlouhy has been training network marketers through his “Mentoring For Free” system.  He is willing to train anyone from any company for free!

Michael Dlouhy is famous for his tag lines that start every live “Mentoring For Free” training call, “Where you learn how to think, not WHAT to think…  you are perfect just as way you are… Your lack of success is not your fault… You do not have to change who you are to have success in your life and your business.”   These are the themes that run through every “Mentoring For Free” conference call.

Nearly 20 years ago Michael Dlouhy, frustrated by his own lack of success in the network marketing industry, took a two year break to join over 100 companies to determine how the average person could be successful in network marketing.  His findings are revealed in his free e-book, “Success In 10 Steps.”  Michael Dlouhy claims that by reading his e-book you can save yourself years of failure and frustration in the network marketing industry.

The book, “Success In 10 Steps” explains the process most people go through when they explore the network marketing industry, answering the question, “Why do so few people succeed in network marketing?”  Michael Dlouhy pulls back the curtain and exposes the lies told by the “big hitters” and explains the truth about succeeding in mlm.

Everyone who reads “Success in 10 Steps” is given the contact information to a personal mentor and is encouraged to take part in a free coaching call where they are introduced to the “Mentoring For Free” system. This generic system offers  free internet network marketing training that anyone can use to build any mlm company, without having to pay a monthly fee, buy leads, or contact friends and family.

Mentoring For Free” offers ten hours of live training calls each week discussing various topics such as personal development, leadership, marketing and advertising, live prospecting calls, and a live weekly coaches corner call.   Michael Dlouhy leads the discussion on most of the calls, and encourages anyone listening to participate by contributing their own brillant insights as well.  The calls are motivating and inspirational, and the training is pretty good too.

All the calls are generic in nature, live and interactive; and no companies are mentioned and no products are sold.  Most of the calls are recorded and stored in an archive, available for anyone to listen to later.  Those interested in investing their time to participate will definitely learn the skills necessary to build any network marketing company online.

Anywhere else, this type of coaching and training would cost hundreds of dollars, but in “Mentoring For Free” there is a community of people who are interested in your success (not theirs), with no hidden agenda, except to help you become better in your business.

So, if you are struggling in your own business, if you haven’t gotten the upline support you feel you deserved, and if want an honest coaching and training system that will work with any network marketing business, I would suggest giving “Mentoring For Free” a try.
