Influencer or Leader?

Everyone has influence in some area with someone. How you use that influence decides whether you are a good leader or you are a stumbling block.

Whether or not you are a positive influence in your life depends on the recognition of this one truth:

• Every day you interact with people. Do you use that time to make them better or worse? (side note: you cannot have no effect, that's making it worse)

We can always choose how to use our influence.

We decide how to react, communicate, and interact. When we decide that we are going to not only lead, but lead with a positive outcome, it’s powerful.

• Influencers try to make you believe and do what they believe and do; leaders empower you to become who you were meant to be. (selfish vs. selfless)

Today, purpose your heart and mind toward bringing people closer to their

goals.

• Focus on the needs of others will:

  • Create positive connections

  • Allow you to be a leader regardless of status or title

  • Empower someone else

  • Give hope and a better outlook to others

  • Change your life

Choose to harness the influence you have to lead well. Not only will the lives of those around you change, but yours will become more fulfilled. Be the leader

you were called to become.
