Leadership in Action – AUNZ English – 201709

START A JOURNEY WITH THE DESTINATION IN MIND. If you don’t start a journey with the destination in mind, how can you ever hope to arrive? Make a plan before you ever get on the road. Get a map. Calculate the travel time. Fill up your fuel tank.

USE A GPS. A GPS ensures you take the most direct route to your destination. It keeps you going the right way at every crossroads. If you get off course or if there’s a delay, it reroutes you if necessary to keep you moving toward your destination. With Melaleuca, your commitment is your GPS. When you’re committed to follow the path laid out for you and see your activity through, you’ll get to where you want to be.

WHAT’S YOUR DESTINATION? When you take the freeway to New York, you’re going there for a reason. Maybe you’re going to a Knicks game or a Broadway show. The same goes with your business. You might set your GPS to take you to Senior Director, but your real destination might be residual income, college education for your kids, a family vacation, or retirement money.

START A JOURNEY WITH THE DESTINATION IN MIND.

GET THE RIGHT VEHICLE. There are certainly different vehicles you can take to get to your destination, but Melaleuca has been custom- made for this journey. “Some of those other deals would be like riding a push bike down the freeway with two flats,” Christian says. “Rest assured, Melaleuca as a vehicle is more than sufficient. Melaleuca is so committed to fine-tuning the vehicle. You never have to doubt that.” FUEL UP. Your contact list is what powers your vehicle. “It’s a terrible feeling to be on the turnpike and not have enough fuel in your tank. You pass all the fuel stations and then hit traffic. The low fuel light comes on the dash and you’re worried you’re going to run out. That’s what it feels like when you’re trying to get to Senior Director and you don’t have a decent contact list.”

BEWARE OF DETOURS. Unwillingness to get

uncomfortable . “Sometimes we think it’s this business that’s uncomfortable,” Christian says. “But really, anything new makes us uncomfortable.” Phone call reluctance . “Inactivity breeds fear,” Christian says. If you’re not making calls every day, you’ll have exited off the freeway before you know it. Poor contact list planning . You need plenty of names on your contact list. “What happens is you get down to the end of the month and you start calling people sounding desperate, right?” Christian says. “You’re not going to build a business that way.”

FUEL UP.

GO FASTER, STEP ON THE PEDAL.

ENJOY THE RIDE.

TO GO FASTER, STEP ON THE PEDAL. If your contact list is the fuel, then phone calls are your accelerator pedal. If you want to go faster on the freeway, step on the pedal!

ENJOY THE RIDE. Maximise the fuel in your tank . Make your vehicle more “fuel efficient” by promoting Home Conversion Packs and improving your approach and presentation skills. Carpool . When you have others headed to Senior Director with you, you will get there faster. They’ll help fill up the fuel tank with their own contact lists. They’ll help keep the pedal to the metal. “That’s going to be an enjoyable ride because you’re going to get there on everybody’s efforts.” Don’t turn around when there’s a delay . Hiccups are bound to happen. Traffic jams. Road construction. A passenger who wants to get out of the car. It’s frustrating when your timeline changes, but keep going. “The worst you can do is turn around when you’re on your way,” Christian says. “If you are a Director 3, you’re a third of the way there.”
