Teaching New Leaders Why They Don’t Have to be Incredibly Famous to Find Success in Their Ventures5/22/2024  Quite often, when you are just starting, you may feel the pressure to compare your progress to that of another leader.In truth, many successful leaders achieve their dreams, even when they have a small following. In other words, you don’t have to be famous to build a thriving leadership platform. All you need is the right audience. And this lesson will show you why. So, let’s begin. Everyone Starts at Zero One of the best stories you will hear from successful entrepreneurs is how they began exactly where you are today. Everyone begins at point zero. But it’s what each person does with the little that determines how big a leader's platform will be. When I began redeveloping my brand and business, I started with about 200 followers on Twitter. My network had just been published, and I knew absolutely nothing about building a thriving platform. I made a few assumptions about its growth and expansion. I made several mistakes along the way. But the more quality work I added to my platform, the more it grew and the more I became a subject-matter expert in conservative politics. Yet, I started at the same place where you are today. I didn’t always have thousands of followers. I had to develop strategies that would work well for my brand. And after implementing them successfully, growth happened naturally. You see, even with a small following, I began to see my leadership platform flourish. What you see today is a direct result of the daily contributions I made to my virtual platform at the beginning stages. I blogged everyday. I networked with other conservative leaders everyday. I engaged on Twitter and Facebook every day. In other words, while I had such a tiny following in the beginning, I put in the work. And now I am reaping a harvest based on the seed I sowed years ago. This is a lesson you must also implement if you want to see your vision manifested. Every successful leader begins somewhere. As you build upon the foundation, others will recognize your work. And this is what will make you an authority figure in the online space. Don’t Despise the Small Beginnings Take this passage to heart, Beloved: “Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin…” (Zechariah 4:10). What an awesome word of encouragement for every new leader. You don’t have to look at your current progress as something to be ashamed of. You can be proud that you have begun the work. You have taken the step of faith that so many are afraid to do. You can be confident in knowing He who began the work is faithful to complete it. God needs your cooperation. As I tell my clients, while it is He who gives you the power or ability to accomplish His mission for your life, it is still up to you to put in the work. And God is looking to see how you handle the small beginnings. Will you be faithful with the little? If so, then you will be faithful with much. Be Diligent in What You Have and Build, Build, Build There will come a time when you will see your dreams manifested, as long as you’re willing to do what’s necessary every day. Know you are making progress. With every action you contribute to your leadership platform, you are building something that will last a lifetime. You never know the lives that will be impacted by your commitment and your diligent work. You never know just how far you will go until you make the first steps in the right direction. So, never compare yourself to that of another. Don’t feel you have to reach “national fame” before you see fruits of your labor. In due time, at the right moment, when you have completed all your preparation and received all your necessary training, then opportunity will meet you at your door. And you will be ready for the greatness that awaits you. I speak from experience, and I hope this lesson brought a wealth of encouragement to you.
