We all like champions: those at the top of their game. Teams or individuals, we all like winners: those at the top of the table. The news is full of them and at the moment there are only a few things I want. Arsenal to finish in the top three, Jenson Button to win races, and the British Team to win Gold at the Olympics. And I bet if I asked you to pick three sporting greats that they would all be winners. England winning at Rugby or Cricket (assuming you are English). Andy Murray winning a Grand Slam. Luke Donald to win the golf.
It’s the same in business. Sir Richard Branson, Duncan Bannatyne, Sir Alan Sugar. Apple, Vodafone, Virgin. Businessmen (and businesswomen) and companies at the top of their game. Winners. Leaders.
And, all of this makes me wonder. Why are these same people, the ones that love winners, those at the top of the tables, content with being red and grey members in their chapter’s Traffic Lights? Why don’t they want to be a green member; even top of the Traffic Lights?
My ambition has always been to be a green member and stay a green member. Why? Well there are lots of reasons. Green members in general earn more money. Personal credibility: why would anyone want to recommend someone who’s not very good? Then there is doing my best for my team (my chapter) and my friends. Personal pride. Not wanting to be bad at anything. And, I want to be a winner!
So, I have a question for you. If you aren’t a green member (and haven’t been for some time): why are you happy not to be? Why don’t you want to be a winner? No one likes being average, let alone below average, so why not check Network Central right now and find out what you need to do to be a winner? Because going green will earn both you and your chapter more money!
If you really want to you could be a green member in the next two months. Please let me know how you get on. Don’t just talk about winners. Be one!
