The sayings and principles of Confucius guided Chinese wisdom for more than 2,000 years. In the midst of warfare and tyranny, this philosopher urged a system of morality and an art of conducting state affairs to bring about peace, stability, and just government.

He wrote, "Those who preside over the people should cherish the dearest aims and give the most correct lessons, honouring the requirements of humanity by loving the people as their sons; then the people will use their utmost efforts to please their superiors."

To keep this a fun and readable article, "Confucius also say - Money doesn't buy happiness- but it's a great down payment! Case dismissed. Next!"

Applying Confucius to removing Confusion from marketing and leadership, I am suggesting organized systems which allow YOU, the Successful Business owner, the basic understanding to the correct lessons to achieve your most heartfelt aspirations.

Leadership is an extension of Marketing because if your marketing is effective, other's will be led to follow in your path. They will do exactly as you do, or have done, to achieve what they want, providing that they want what you have achieved.

Picture a ten (10) foot PVC pipe. When you run a little water into it, eventually, a little water will come out. Providing a lot of water into the top will provide a lot to come out.

Duh! as we used to say in 8th grade.

This has extraordinary application value when building your business. If you truly want to create the lifestyle of your Dreams, you need a lot of that green stuff ... and the green stuff comes from people, yes, prospects!

The quantity of prospects "poured into this PVC pipe" has a direct correlation to how much "green stuff" comes out. If you don't believe me, don't put anything in. If you work diligently and consistently to continually expose your product/ service/opportunity EVERYDAY! (ok I feel better now), track your results. This in not a simple on/off switch, but, it could be with the proper testing of marketing strategy & technique. The quality, yes, different from quantity, needs to be fixed & refined based on your results ... but, first things first.
