Home internet businesses need more Leaders like Attila the Hun

So you are looking at home internet businesses because you want a way to earn extra money. What many people fail to realise is the top tier opportunities will make you a Leader. By ‘make’ I mean you will be seen as one by the people you recruit whether you view yourself as a Leader or not.

I believe that great Leaders are made and not born. So the good news is that in work from home careers you can make yourself a great Leader. Wess Roberts in his business book classic, The Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun explains the principles he believes great Leaders need to live by. Wess is a genius at using a real historical figure and real facts known about him and spinning them into today’s world for us to use.

Attila the Hun is a much misunderstood ruler principally because he came so close to ruling large parts of Western Europe. The Romans viewed him as a barbarian. Actually he was less barbaric than the Romans who threw Christians to the lions; he was also far less cruel than Ivan the Terrible, Cortes or Pizzaro.

The most fundamental principle about being a Leader according to Attila is; ‘you have got to want to be a Leader to become a Leader’. If you simply accept being a Leader you will fail and your business partners will leave your team. There are some key pointers to add to this principle:

  • Avoid letting your wish to be a Leader turn into over eagerness. You have to prepare, gain experience and wait for the right opportunity
  • Your success as a Leader is based willingness to do hard work
  • You have to persevere in the face of many challenges
  • You have to apply massive common sense to solving complex problems
  • You have to be prepared to make thankless, unrecognized sacrifices for the team
  • You have to be willing to learn, listen and grow
  • You have to be willing to remain your natural self
  • You have be willing to accept you have flaws and learn to improve
