Hi Mary
Good question.
I'l answer you from my experience.
You are one of my top 10 a2a friends. Why did i select you and others? For the following reasons
1. All my a2a friends are higher than me in rank and are more successful and more experienced than me. I went after the best and you are one of them. The above was one of the criteria i used. I love to make friends with those who know better than me and are more successful than me. They set my goals and focus.
2. They are active. I check my friends logging time. Once i'd to remove an a2a friend because of inactivity. Why? Because i wanted inspiring, motivating, go getter friends. If i flock with inactive friends, sooner enough, i'l be influenced and i'l be as inactive as they are. Like it is said, 'bad communication corrupts good manners'
3. Knowledgeable: i selected experts who know how to maneveur the system very well and how to make it work. That way i can come to them for help when necessary to brainstorm together.
4. Success
All my a2a friends are successful sponsors/ co sponsors/ upline leaders of their team. They are friends/ leaders of influence. John Maxwell gave the acronym of an influencer that so suits my friends so well that made me follow them and pick them:
-I means Integrity with people
-N means Nurturing people
-F means Faith in people
-L means listens to people
- U means understands people
-E means Enlarges people
-N means Navigates or directs other people
-C means connects with people
-E means Empowers people
-R means Reproduces other influencers i.e raising leaders like themselves and it is showing in their business
3. Ability to help others via answering questions of others or asking questions that some shy affiliates will like to ask but are afraid to do so. This empowers such affiliates.
4. Depth.
How deep a man is will determine is how far rises in life. My a2a friends are people of depth. You know a man by the way he talks or answers people. We draw from the depth of our resources that we know and have. By the way they answer people's questions and help grow their team, it shows.
In short, John has spoken it all for me,
My friends have integrity
ability to nurture others
faith in people
the ability to listen to others
the ability to understand others
enlargement of heart to bear with people's strength and weaknesses
the ability to navigate and direct other people
the power to connect with people
the power to empower others
Then lastly the ability to reproduce themselves in others and that is what true leadership is all about and those kinds of friends are worthy to be picked and followed like you.
