Face It: You’re a Leader!
A message from my mentor.
I can hear your objection now: “Bo, I’m not a leader. I’m just a follower.
I don’t want to be in front. In fact, my whole goal in life is to be an Assistant
Vice Member.”
You’re wrong. I believe everyone is a leader.
Why? Because leadership is influence.
And YOU influence the people around you.
We think of leaders as people with titles. But most leaders have no
titles. At least, they have no business cards…
A parent is a leader. It’s the most important leader in the world.
A sibling who cares for her other siblings is a leader. Youngest, oldest,
middle child… it doesn’t matter.
A friend who influences friends is a leader.
An officemate who influences other officemates is a leader.
Everyone is one. Even a maid…
Cooks, Cleaners, and Consultants
For thousands of people, it was the story of a maid that changed their financial life.
In 2009, I wanted to teach my maids how to invest in the stock market. It was an insane
idea. But it worked.
Today, one of my maids has P342,812 in her stock market portfolio while the first maid
who started investing—who I promoted to bookkeeper (and therefore has more money to put
into the market)—has P618,032.
But that’s not the greatest thing that happened.
This insane idea has spawned a financial revolution. Today, a tidal wave of people are
investing in the stock market—and will be retiring multimillionaires—because of my
maids’ example.
Today, my maids are not just maids. Yes, they still cook meals, mop
floors, and wash dishes. But they’re also one of the best Personal Finance
Consultants I know. Because of their sincerity, they’ve been able to help
transform the financial lives of their friends and families.
Don’t get me wrong. They DON’T have that fancy title, “Personal
Finance Consultant” in their business cards.
But that’s the work they do.
How? They do it simply by their example.
Today, some of their siblings are now investing in the stock market. Some of the maids around our house
are now investing in the stock market. The beautician who does facials for my wife at home is already investing
in the stock market.
No, my wife didn’t convince the beautician to do that. It was my maids. Because after my wife gets a facial,
my maids gets a facial too. (They pay for it; they’ve got money.)
As my maids are lying down getting their facial, they talk. And they share. And they influence.
Lead!
