Hints!

One of the keys to being a person of influence, (leader), is to live the example that people would like to follow. None of that requires a fancy home, big car, or a great deal of money. It simply requires that when you leave the presence of others they either wish you hadn't left or you had a positive impact. How does one accomplish that?

Well, first I'd suggest you live a life of purpose. Nothing is more admirable in someone than he or she who gives of themselves. Unselfish giving is not only uncommon, but a great path to personal satisfaction. Think of the person you admire the most....What is their most outstanding trait?

It might be loyalty, or how they treat others. Again it leads back to being unselfish, putting others before yourself. People are naturally drawn to those who always speak kindly of others, and are loyal to the end.

Maybe you admire how they handle their financial life. It doesn't take a great deal of money to be successful, just the self discipline of living within your means. Debt is unattractive at any pay scale.

I've also found that those who walk with a tight relationship with the Lord exude a great deal of magnetism. Albeit the opposite is true if your presenting a facade. Nothing turns people off like a poser. Personally, I feel that's where a great deal of the crowd who have a bad taste in their mouth about religion were turned. Hypocrisy is never attractive.

Another key is association, who do you keep company with? Your convicted by others through the company you keep. "Birds of a feather, flock together," and it's true! Add the sum of your four best friends together and divide it by four and you'll be pretty close to you income. Same applies to your ethics, character, and integrity. If you hang around with thieves, you'll find yourself driving the get-away car.

In short, a life of purpose, unselfishness, discipline, and quality association highlight the laws of attraction. These are the foundation of a great leader!
