In the last blog post, we talked about people being in learning/acquiring mode. Here are all the four points. We’ve discussed the first two already:
1) People tend to believe what they read on the internet if the subject is of interest to them, even if they aren’t familiar with the author or source.
2) Most people are in “learning/acquiring mode” rather than “active leader” mode.
3) Whereas most people are accumulating knowledge when they’re interested in a subject, a leader is interested in accumulating more PEOPLE and resources.
4) Leaders give of their time, knowledge and expertise in a consistent manner. This not only establishes authority, but creates attraction AND… a sense of indebtedness to the leader.
Let’s talk about #3, and in the next (and final part) of this mini-series, we’ll talk about #4.
This one is pretty direct. Both leaders and followers share the same attribute of learning new things, acquiring potent skills, and expanding their horizons through books and courses.
BUT… there is one crucial difference. *Drumroll, please…*
Those same folks who are in “learning/acquiring” use knowledge as their primary resource. A leader, on the other hand, has gotten to the point where they start focusing sharing their experience with PEOPLE, and concurrently focus on PEOPLE as their resource.
Someone who isn’t yet recognized as a leader (let’s call them a pre-leader) hasn’t yet arrived at the place where people are looking to them for solutions because they haven’t spent enough time networking or building a following.
If you have ever seen Star Wars, you’ll know that in order to become a Jedi, you have to train extensively, enrich yourself, and serve others. Before you become a Jedi, you are called a “Padawan”. You’re in essence still mastering the skills required for leadership, but not quite a leader yet.
Once you do graduate into marketing Jedi-hood, people will start looking to you. But it’s not an overnight “Ah HA! NOW I’m a Jedi! The Force is Strong with me!” type deal. It builds up, takes momentum and time, and when critical mass hits, suddenly you find yourself in a position where you are teaching others and gaining them as a resource.
How to find yourself as the coveted expert and create mass appeal? We will cover that in future topics.
At this point, you learn the most from teaching others what you have learned through direct experience.
Okay, so how does this relate to “How the Marketing Mind Works” ? Take a step back and see the overall picture:
We are all looking for a better way in all fields. One of the best ways to do this is to model yourself after an authority. Your marketing mind can become sharpened, achieve shortcuts and grow faster when you have a mentor or leader at hand. You also need to realize that in order to achieve greatness, leadership qualities must be developed.
That’s how it relates to the Marketing Mind.
In fact, and as a BONUS to you, it really can be called anything – the Golf Mind, the Garbage Disposal Mind, the Skateboarding Mind – any field in which you want to excel. Look for a leader and emulate what they are doing. Then fit it within your own style and you’ll have a winning Marketing Mind Strategy! Cool little bonus, huh? 
Learning that this mindset can be applied anywhere you want to achieve something big… cool!
Just remember the leader realizes that focusing on people (his team, affiliates, or email list, for example) is one crucial element for massive success. And coupled with #4 which we’ll go over in the next lesson, you become that much coveted mentor everyone looks to. Of course, you should still be mentoring yourself through others, their books, courses and ideas. One of my favorite phrases is “The smallest room in the universe is a mushroom. The largest room in the universe is the room for improvement.”
Keep acquiring, but open up that largest room for others to dwell in as well.
Look out for the next and last part of this series – #4 – Leaders give of their time, knowledge and expertise in a consistent manner. This not only establishes authority, but creates attraction AND… a sense of indebtedness to the leader.
Look out for it!

And why don’t you donate some money. So they don’t have to look for money making solutions. Somebody has to pay the bills right? What do you pay for using their service? Shut up and watch.

Fist off I don't have a college education , but as I work in the social services line caring for old peeps in a small rural community I can say that my experiences have shown me how much I have to be grateful for that I have my health and three great kids and there are many others who struggle on in difficult situations. This has led me to do a couple of certificate courses to further my knowledge and make me better at my job.

They're all useful
3) and 4) are almost the same
If I had to choose just one I'd go for 4)
in the original sentence, I might use "systematic" for "logical"

You are very much awake brotha. Keep spittin it.
Hospital employees who interact with patients during registration have a difficult job. They are expected to gather all the relevant demographic and insurance information, compare it to existing information, interpret the combination, and then make a decision that results in appropriate and compliant actions and behavior. And they are supposed to do all this while remaining calm and cool in what can be a very stressful situation.

Libertarians seem upset that something is preventing them from being wealthy, but they dont express much compassion or recognition of suffering for poor or people of other disadvantaged conditions, maybe they sympathize to a degree that corresponds with their dissatisfaction at not being able to be rich or able to gratify themselves, but they don’t examine social phenomena beyond a superficial level from what I observe,they just want their money,greed,indifference and some authoritarianism too
Don’t think one country donated when Katrina hit? If your memory served you, you’d remember that Hugo Chavez offered to help, but was denied by our ‘country’ (Bush). But Hugo’s a commie, right? As for dissing Mos Def speak, who wants to listen to classically trained speach therapists? HIs speach is of the highest art form. If you can’t relate, you must be hate-in.

The word 'genetic" i think is so misconstrued. I dont think people are natural born anything but is shaped mostly by their environment. If one is born with two parents that are leaders, they're gonna become something close to it if not better because their learning from leaders first-hand. One can also become a great leader even if born into a less fortunate situation, only must have a drive to do so, hence the challenge and that's where the others have an edge.
Just like when they say if your parents have diabetes, you're more likely to get it because of genetics. Not so. U're only gonna get it because you're apt to follow in their footsteps being that's what their teaching you and living the same lifestyle. Don't you think that if a diabetic realizes their error of lifestyle, then has a child and teaches them other wise, wouldn't that child have a healhier lifestyle?? Illnesses, edge of life, etc are all taught and learned.
Do you think their soon going to say that AIDS is genetic instead of saying don't follow the same footsteps as your parents did??? Everything has a cause, and it's not genetics. (unless u are inbreeding)

Yes, I believe it's important because that was how I was raised. For me to do otherwise would be painful.
I you could imagine the thief or burglar with honor and integrity, then they would be a robin hood. Politicians would paint a more accurate picture of what is the real problem in our society so we can properly allocate the much needed funds to the right things. Finally, some people in Y!A would not use swear words or sell themselves or contemplate beating up losers…. Wait, I did say imagine right … phew!
