Hi...

I believe that everyone got their own talent. Some may be born a leader and some don't, BUT not every Leader was born with the privilege.

The most important thing is are you really want to success in your business? If the answer is YES, then LEARN is the key word. You need to learn how to be a Leader.

Some information on how you could be a leader already provided by SFI and that is DUPLICATION.

Duplicate what your Sponsor and Co-Sponsor do on how

Very good question.

Let us understand that no body in this world is born leader, The environment, Culture, Teachings, Influence of media, etc are the few main sources which makes us the leaders.

Every person should get a right stage or an opportunity to become a leader. Don't you think we are blessed or lucky enough to have SFI, that makes us the leaders.

At SFI we start as affiliates (Team members) and learn many things by lessons, forum,Launchpad, or from A2A

There is saying that readers are leaders. This simply means those that are thought or assume to be a born leaders are just opportune to be guided by the knowledge of leading either through reading or learning from past mistakes of some leaders. Sfi is full of awesome tools and resources that can help you become a successful leader the first on the list is to lead by example. Whatever it is you intend your affiliates doing must first be done by you since your affiliates can easily access your leadership

Not all leaders are born to lead. There are many who learn how to lead and what to do to get followers.

In SFI we preach duplication, duplication and more duplication. We become leaders by doing what we have learned from those who lead us, and then by recruiting our own teams.

There are many pre written emails available that you can use to send out to your team. You can also take these emails as a basis for new ones by rewriting them in your own words.

Just look at

I have been reading the answers here so far and most people are saying the same thing that I'm about to say, but missing one vital point.

When most people think of the word 'leader', there is a responsibility tied to that word that panics a lot of people. We expect a leader to be strong, bold, and be able to solve problems instantly. All these are admirable properties, and anyone possessing those qualities here in SFI would be a fantastic leader. But many of us just starting out don't

There's no doubt that some people are born with natural leadership qualities, but they still need to develop and refine those skills. Many other people are not what they would call 'born leaders', but through opportunity, training and coaching become good and effective leaders. A few people have no interest at all in leading anyone in any situation, but I think they are rare!

I'm guessing that you are not in that last category otherwise you'd have no interest in asking your question! I'm

Agreed, some are 'born' leaders, BUT leadership CAN be taught and learned.

And that is where SFI excels above most I have seen.

I'm sure you will agree that Gery Carson, SFI founder and inspirational leader has to be a born leader. And he has put together one of the best leadership training modules I've seen on the internet.

So if you are not one of those 'born leaders' that we would all 'love' to be, then commit yourself to read, study, ponder on and regularly review

Dear Gabriella,
Leadership is not born but becomes automatically when you acquire the knowledge.
This knowledge will learn with the time, dedication and perseverance.
All this happens spontaneously, because you will realize that you are alone a step higher
Compared to your affiliates.
Unfortunately, in the world there are many skeptics, but a true leader always runs his way without getting involved in the negativity.
So when you have learned while maintaining the

Hi Gabriela,

Let me first thank and congratulate you. I have had the same question raised by a lot of people,some who are willing to join and some who have joined lately as PSAs to one of my friend.

I can, without doubt, answer in affirmative. You just do not need to be a born leader, although at the same time I must say, being a born leader definitely helps. Let me show you the same with a small example. Below mentioned qualities would be required to excel as leader in SFI.
