To be both successful student and teacher is like wearing two hats, or being a coin- one side a student, the other a teacher.
To be a teacher you should first be a good student, willing to learn, be an avid reader, absorb and understand what you’re reading and learning and apply that knowledge.
As a teacher you should be able to impart, but not give, that knowledge and everything that you have learned and experienced.
“The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of wisdom but rather of his faith and his lovingness.
“If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind.”
“No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.” -Khalil Gibran
So to be both one needs to have the willingness to learn and the capacity to understand and absorb what has been taught, and to know how to apply the knowledge and become an effective teacher that is able to impart all he has learned, that is duplicatable.
When you first joined SFI, you are a student of a global internet marketing program.
You need to learn the ABC of building SFI business, the 1-2-3 of TripleClicks , advertising and sales. But you already have this basic understanding within you and you only need someone to show you the way and open up your mind.
As you progressed in the business, you become a Team Leader and you develop your own team, then you become a teacher to your new members. While you are teaching/mentoring your new members, you are also learning new things relevant to your business and so you are constantly wearing both hats, and being a two-sided coin.
Learning and teaching never stops. Learning and imparting, in and out.
When you are able to produce the kind of team leaders that will stay and succeed then you are successful in duplicating yourself as student and teacher.
