Question: 
 
As the leader in my company, where can I go to get additional 
training? 
 
Answer: 
 
RANDY: When you’re trying to be a leader in your own home-based 
business find resources that help you to learn how to be a better 
leader. Your company will never be able to give you enough 
information or training in that area, so you’ve got to be a continuing 
student.  
 
You’ve got to go to the bookstore or go online. One of my favorite 
authors is John Maxwell. Everything he has written on leadership is 
fantastic: The 360 Degree Leader, Failing Forward, Developing the 
Leader Within You, Developing the Leaders Around You. Those are 
some great books by John Maxwell. 
 
ELIZABETH: Nowadays, we spend a lot of time in the car, so you may 
want to invest in some books on tape. When you’re driving or going 
different places you can just pop one of those tapes in and listen to it. 
Even if you just listen to it ten minutes a day while you’re going here 
and there, you will be surprised how much you will conquer in just that 
amount of drive time. 
  
When you feel encouraged, and you get a new idea that you want to 
share, that gets you excited and fired up to share that with your 
leaders, and then in return, they pass it on. 
 
 
 
RANDY: And ask questions. We meet people that are leaders in other 
companies, leaders in different businesses, and we just ask questions. 
Ask them how they are doing with this area or that area of their 
business. You learn from just being around people who are out there 
running businesses. 
 
Don’t be afraid to ask, and don’t be afraid to be looking for people who 
have a business going. 
  
ELIZABETH: Questions are the key to growing your business. The only 
dumb question is the question that is never asked. So don’t be afraid 
to pick other people’s brains and discover some things they do that 
helps them in their business that you can then translate and put into 
your business, and be really effective that way.
