Today We Are Talking About Influence! Influence is the one key ingredient that really helps you move the needle. All top leaders have it. And many aspiring leaders wanted. But there are a couple of common misconceptions about influence and today we are going to talk about both!
Influence Misconception #1: People Assume that Influence is Automatic. Often times people will think that because of their position in life that they should automatically have influence.
Influence Misconception #2: They Assume Influence is Situational. That if they walk into a situation where they are going to try and influence somebody that it should just “come to them”. And it doesn’t apply all the time but in certain situations. Watch the video to hear more…

So what’s the deal with influence? The deal with influence is this… Influence is an essential thing that you must have in your life and in your business. It affects when you are trying to close the prospect… It affects when you are talking to your team about running for a goal, attending a convention, jumping on a conference call, or speaking in front of the room! Anytime you want someone to do something be it in business or in your personal life, influence comes into play!
Want to Hear a Scary Fact? For all you parents out there, by the time your child is between 8 and 11 years old, your kid’s friends become just as influential as the parent! (Can you say OMG!)
Truth Bomb Coming…There are two major things that are commonly thought when it comes to influence… And the truth of the matter is, they are misconceptions! Like they just dont work, and are simply not true! So let’s get into it.
Influence Misconception #1: People Assume that Influence is Automatic. People think that because they have a position like: they are the upline, they are the spouse or they are the parent… that they should automatically have influence. And it’s just not true! In fact, when you look at the works of John Maxwell and his 5 Levels of Leadership book. He says that the lowest level of leadership is level “number one” which is “positional leadership”. Code for “I am your__________, there for you must listen.” In this type of situation, people will do what they have to do… But it won’t be what they want to. And true influence is something that you get the other person to want to do. So let us not assume that we should automatically be able to influence others just because of our position in the relationship.
Influence Misconception #2: They Assume Influence is Situational. For example, lets say you kind of have a tumultuous relationship with somebody in your team. It’s really time for them to promote and you see a way that they can get it done. So you decide to put on your “influence hat” on and talk to them about the matter at hand.
Will this Work? The answer is most likely no! So what we must remember is that in order to have influence with someone…. the spotlight is always on. The film is always recording. There is never a moment when you’re not trying to earn influence.
Just think about the owner of your Network Marketing company. Every time they take the stage at convention, every time they jump on a conference call, every time they are in the spotlight they are always seeking to earn influence. It’s never automatic and it’s never situational. They have to earn it every time they step up to the plate. And the same is true for you and I. The more we can remember this and focus on this in our lives, the more it will be there where it really counts!
