How to Be An Influencer , Everyday

Picture
Leadership is about influence. Everyone influences someone. Therefore, in a sense, everyone is a leader. Sociologists tell us that even the most introverted individual will influence 10,000 other people during his or her lifetime.
As I look back on my life, I have been influenced by so many people — my parents, teachers, friends and family. Just as I have been influenced by others, inevitably what I do and say will influence others for good or ill.
As the African proverb puts it, ‘If you think you’re too small to make a difference, you haven’t spent the night with a mosquito.’ The mosquito makes a difference in an annoying way, but the principle is the same. One person can stop a great injustice. One person can be a voice for truth. One person’s kindness can save a life. Each person matters.
History is in many ways a story of influence. In reality we all influence one another in all sorts of ways — from what to have for lunch and what films to watch, to more important matters of truth and ethics.
What we do as individuals, as a community or a nation affects others. How do you use that influence for good? How do you maximize your influence?


  • To influence you must be influenced by someone.
     There is no way around this, you are and have been influenced by someone. It could be your parents, your neighbors , your pastor, your athletic coach, your family, television, social media, books you have read, things you have listened to. This all adds up to being influenced by someone. 
  • To influence greatly you must be influenced greatly by someone.
 We all have the capacity, its just to do great exploits you must create greater room and capacity within yourself to influence greatly. The greater things to focus on are your character and integrity in all areas.


David Starr Gordon- the world stands aside to let anyone pass who knows where he is going”

           Influence is passionate-
* Purpose is the foundation of passion


“Do you know what you are to be doing?”
Potential another driving force of passion- “ when the potential is gone the passion is gone”
- Your calling leads to passion

          3 keys to Passion:
* 1. Passion is personal
* 2. Passion is progressive
* 3. Passion is contagious 

          Influence is big thinking
* 1. See the potential others do not see
* 2. Say the positive words others do not say
* 3. Show personal interest others do not show
* 4. Share the possibilities others do not share

 Use your powers to influence for good, it’s the noble thing to do when potential is on the line.
