How To Incite a Movement: Volume 1: Ledger 2:12
People Who Start
Movements Are Charismatic
Leaders give people an outlet to express themselves.
Leaders validate people’s need to express themselves.
Leaders showcase other leaders in order to inspire non-leaders to step up and to become leaders.
Leaders communicate a vision, more than they do a business plan.
Leaders unite. . . . . . non-leaders divide and see everyone outside of them as the the competition.
Leaders connect their followers to each other and true leaders have a charisma that is not common to non-leaders.
True leaders use COMMON everyday language. They use terms and words and stories that anyone could; with one exception, NO ONE could ever duplicate their verbal cadence or “sound” like the. Muhammad Ali is like that. John Lennon is like that and so was Ronald Reagan. Common words with a delivery no one could mimick.
DEXTER YEAGER (Amway) was that. Like that. He used third grade language and told stories as if speaking to his mates at the Elks Club. But because he SOUNDED so totally authentic, so utterly ripped with an UNCOMMON “delivery,” no one could take their eyes off of him and Millions and Millions paid for his tape-of-the-month.
The fallacy is that charismatic people make great leaders.
Tsk.
Tsk.
Tsk.
The mistake is to assume that only certain people can lead and that only people WITH charisma can become WORLD changers.
Utter garbage. Not true. Bogus.
THAT – fallacy — is what weakens traditional organizations and that fallacy is presumed that leaders are BORN, and not made.
Well, that’s a lie.
The truth is that leadership ITSELF, makes you charismatic.
Here. You didn’t hear me. I said leadership ITSELF makes you charismatic.
Leadership ITSELF makes you charismatic.
PERIOD.
Why? Because so few assume the role of “I AM” that those who do, become social steam rollers and they become staged to CHANGE entire societies, if not, the world.
Who voted Ghandi to lead. He did. Who died and left Oprah in charge.
She did. She decided.
Who allowed Hannah Montana to have such earth shaking confidence, almost on the level of an ANIMAL? Who allowed that little girl to roar?
Uh, she did.
The truth is that anyone who dares to address the multitude is charismatic FIRST by their own association to his or her own ambition to stand.
Look Buckwheat, you don’t need a resume. You also don’t need the Guru to give you permission. You don’t need to take a Dale Carnegie (yawn) public speaking course, although I did, and you also don’t need to be BORN with that something “extra” that everyone else wasn’t born with.
Heck, use me as an example: I did street magic for ten years and then sold
FROZEN FOOD door to door for another decade.
Special or dedicated?
Hark unto me. Hardly.
However, common is (as) common does and I simply decided that it was time, that in order to live an UNCOMMON life, it was time for this tall blonde stranger to begin BEING uncommon.
Do you dare? I say, that you do.
ANYONE can lead a movement and anyone who DARES to rise and to become the vision and the voice of those not yet prepared to, becomes charismatic automatically by default.
LEADERSHIP is the art of giving people a platform to grow and to express themselves. I dare you begin as anyone who starts a movement does, simply by finding one single solitary person who will pick up YOUR sword and fight what you believe in, with you.
I did. You can too.
All you do is vote yourself large.
All you do is decide to become responsible for a few people; you decide to become HOME to a few, as Bill Gates, Oprah and Kid-Rock did.
That’s all you do.
You simply decide to become publicly accountable. From there you give people an alternative vision, with meaningful outlets to express their own similar voice, and all of a sudden you have a movement called the Million Mind March.
Or say, Nike or Star-Bucks.
But it begins with you.
Which is where most people decide NOT to vote.
I salute you all, as I first salute myself.
Where people become TEN feet tall and Bullet proof.
It’s like having 10 Lbs. of self confidence in each pocket.
