Those are the Three Rules that this gentleman would recommend to whoever wants to become worth more and wants to get paid what they're worth.
This is Aaron Webber, a gentleman whose life and choices up to now have repeatedly revalidated and reaffirmed what we represent and what we do in our network marketing venture with Unicity.
Consider this: What would be good to do for someone who have had the opportunity to co-own and run a top 10 MLM company as its top executive?
Surely, someone in this position will get offers to helm other MLM companies as the CEO or CEO of a new division. Or, he'll be offered to take the 001 position of an ambitious start-up? If necessary, he'd be offered millions of dollars cash to allow his name to be used?
Well, not surprisingly, Aaron received all of those types of approaches soon after he decided to step down as CEO of Unicity Int'l in Jan 2006 to make way for Stewart Hughes, the most successful field leader who had left the field to serve as President at that point, and let Stewart take full control.
Out of curiosity, Aaron checked out some of the offers and came away with one conclusion: He wants to take to the field, and only with Unicity - a company he believed in, and had helped build up and led for some years.
He wants to be a Distributor, a business proposition which he had been promoting to thousands of people in thousands of meeting in the almost 10 years that he was a senior to top executive of the company.
His decision reaffirms and revalidates the business model and the company.
On Thusday, March 1st, Aaron showed up in Singapore on our invitation to share with us his journey from the corporate side to the field and his insider's perspective of the business.
He is eminetly qualified to address the field leaders. In about half a year, he went from a distributor with a Senior Manager rank to Presidential Diamond, the top of the compensation plan. He bought the Senior Manager position; but worked for and earned the Diamond status in exemplary time.
He shared with us several insightful observations about leadership and the business.
Aaron's Seven Observations of Leadership:
1. Keep doing what it was that got you to where you're at. Don't stop doing the right things.
2. Leadership is about those who're doing it now (not the "been there, done that" has beens who've stopped working and stopped setting the right example).
3. Too many leaders focus on what used to work, not on what works. We need to move with the times. One good way to stay in-tune is to be in the market doing, not advising.
4. Too many leaders worry about "what ifs" and "what might happen".
5. Be good - not just in building the business and in skills but more importantly, be good at heart. Don't make a promise you can't keep - the best way of never ever breaking a promise.
6. Be a good follower - for good followers make good leaders. Learn to take feedback, advice. Following someone good helps me sleep better.
7. Live thankfully. Work at being thankful, being grateful.
Speaking of being thankful, this is what he suggests we have to be thankful for given the opportunity to do network marketing with a company like Unicity:
1. We get to work only with people we like - people we'd love to go on vacation with.
2. We get to earn what we're worth and what we want. We get to make ourselves worth whatever we want, through continuous self improvement.
3. We will get to enjoy Time Freedom one day! ... And if your cheque is not yet whatever you want yet, use your time to make yourself worth that first.
4. We have in Unicity a company with rich traditions and history: we have what other people are looking for e.g. great products, track record, good people in charge, the certainty of the arrival of our monthly cheques.
5. The Products - we have the "cure" for the No 1 health problem in the world - cardiovascular disease - with a fantastic side benefit: it also helps people with diabetes which is the fastest growing disease in the world.
He shared a number of other principles or "articles of operations" which he lays down for whoever seeks his help to build their business e.g.
1. We believe in Direct Selling (and will not try to pretend that it is anything else);
2. We believe in Good People and know that good people will lead and can do good things;
3. We have no room for negative people
4. We believe in hard work
5. We believe in setting great goals and making plans
6. We celebrate and honour leaders
7. We believe in teamwork
8. We never ever give up
And if all that are too much to absorb and digest, he suggested three simple rules to work and live by. That is ...
Don't Worry. Be Good. Work Hard.
Great man, Aaron. Insightful perspectives. I appreciate you and am glad you've chosen to stay on our side :)
