Not Everybody Wants To Do What You Do Forever.
Send us a text Most people you lead won’t want to do what you do — and that’s not a threat, it’s a truth. Your job isn’t to make them become you — it’s to help them become their best version through you. Leadership isn’t about creating copies; it’s about creating capacity.

Keep it simple. Keep it moving. Never settle. Stay tough.
00:00:00.049 --> 00:00:06.650
you know, one thing that I've learned in being a leader, it's that not everybody wants to do what I do.
00:00:07.429 --> 00:00:11.859
Not everybody wants to stay in the sales game for the rest of their lives.
00:00:11.910 --> 00:00:12.419
And you know what?
00:00:12.419 --> 00:00:13.199
I'm okay with that.
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:16.519
I used to get offended when someone would say.
00:00:17.420 --> 00:00:19.879
Marsh, I don't, I don't wanna do what you do forever.
00:00:20.149 --> 00:00:21.710
This is just like a temporary thing.
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:28.710
I used to get offended at that because I love sales, I love doing what I'm doing, it's given me everything.
00:00:28.710 --> 00:00:32.340
It's given me discipline, it's created tremendous opportunities.
00:00:32.340 --> 00:00:42.929
I've amassed all kind of different skills, and so it was natural for me to just take it personally because they didn't see it the way that I saw it.
00:00:43.429 --> 00:00:50.090
But over time I've realized my job isn't to get them to love what I love.
00:00:50.659 --> 00:00:54.978
My job is to help them learn what I've learned.
00:00:55.518 --> 00:00:59.939
I've just gotta pour into 'em so they don't have to become me.
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:04.189
They can just take pieces of what I poured into them.
00:01:04.831 --> 00:01:16.590
Of me and apply it to their lives the skills, the standards, the lessons, whatever it is, you can transfer these skills into the rest of your life.
00:01:17.311 --> 00:01:18.751
That's what true leadership is.
00:01:18.781 --> 00:01:23.191
That's what leadership is for you, the impact that you make on other people.
00:01:23.691 --> 00:01:35.510
Like the greatest compliment in the world is when I run into somebody at the grocery store that I haven't seen in years, and they say, I still use everything that you taught me today.
00:01:35.570 --> 00:01:40.340
I'm not in the same field, but man, I still use it and I'm killing it.
00:01:40.850 --> 00:01:50.191
That's the best compliment in the world for me the position may change, but the skills they take forward are permanent and that's your job as a leader.
00:01:50.691 --> 00:01:53.600
The people that you're leading, man, they're not all going to stay.
00:01:53.870 --> 00:01:55.221
And you gotta be okay with that.
00:01:56.061 --> 00:02:05.600
They're not all gonna follow your path, but while they're with you, it is your responsibility to pour into them and develop them.
00:02:06.221 --> 00:02:10.001
Not to create clones, but to create capacity.
00:02:10.510 --> 00:02:12.795
The capacity and the creativity.
00:02:14.131 --> 00:02:18.031
They can become more so they can step into their true potential.
00:02:18.691 --> 00:02:25.110
That's what your job is, the impact that you make to develop them, to move forward in life.
00:02:25.610 --> 00:02:31.550
Those are transferable skills that they can take with them for the rest of their life.
00:02:31.911 --> 00:02:36.200
Somebody did it for you and now you need to do it for someone else.
00:02:36.700 --> 00:02:42.100
Be proud that you are a part of their life for however long it is.
00:02:42.971 --> 00:02:45.131
It could be five months, or it could be five years.
00:02:45.631 --> 00:02:47.251
How long they stay is irrelevant.
00:02:47.670 --> 00:02:51.420
What they take with them when they leave is the only thing that's relevant.
00:02:51.751 --> 00:02:52.591
Alright, keep it simple.
00:02:52.591 --> 00:02:53.161
Keep it moving.
00:02:53.161 --> 00:02:53.700
Never settle.
00:02:53.700 --> 00:02:54.241
Stay tough.
00:02:54.241 --> 00:02:54.661
Peace.
