When it comes to leadership, there are many books available that seem to all tout the same 7 skills in different defining points. Sifting through all the different points of view is difficult to say the least. The reason why everyone works with the seven basic skill sets is simply because they are the universal methods to making sure that effective leadership is not lost. The following are the 7 effective leadership skills that you will need to rise above others and make sure that you are moving forward. Consider these skills in your overall plan of action.
1. Lead By Example - First and fore-most it is important to lead by exam-ple, which is hard for some, but cru-cial overall. You have to make sure that you are leading by doing as often as possible. This transcends just giving lectures, rules, or advice, you have to do what it is you are asking others to do and have a proven track record as proof. If you want to instruct someone else, you have to be an expert , it does not work otherwise.
2. Good Decision Making - Good decision-making is the second major key to success. If you are making bad decisions, you will see the results come to you fast and they will be far lower than expected. Do not fool yourself; making good decisions is not easy nor something you can procrasti-nate in doing.
3. Vision - Without a vision, people fall away with ease. You have to not only hold onto the vision that you have for your future, but for the future of anyone that is going to attach themselves to your leadership. You can not move forward without a long-term vision, or else you will plummet before you even come close to victory.
4. Team Building - Without a core group of team members, there is no
leader. You can try to be a leader of one. Without having a focused team in place to help build the vision fur-ther, a leader will fall by the wayside.
5. Communication - Clear communi-cation is the key to making sure that the team knows how to move forward and what to do next. Without a clear line of communication, a person can-not expect the maximum growth po-tential that is necessary for longevity in any type of business situation.
6. Train For Maximum Growth - Training is important, because with-out fundamentals, a person or even a team cannot thrive. Establishing good fundamentals is the most crucial thing to moving ahead of the curve. With-out doing so, a person will end up los-ing out on big things.
7. Empower Others to Lead - The last thing to remember for anyone that is looking at effective leadership skills is the empowerment of others. Without empowering others, a leader fails to have a long-term legacy. No legacy is complete without the em-powerment of others, focusing on them to become the leaders of tomor-row.
The above universal skills are repeated by all major publications that are in print today. They can work for anyone that is serious about learning how to be a better leader in any business type. Consider the aforementioned as just a brief introduction to the 7 skills, as much more can be said about the mat-ter of leading properly.

The Importance of Living A CASH ONLY Life By Deborah Francis Chairwoman of Built To Prosper University
It is no surprise to find that presently, most of everybody's dilemma is about finances. Money problems usually come and go but for some, it is forever on their backs. They are chained with credit card fees, loans and other avoidable debt.
Debt comes with a price. Not all things that glitter are gold and it is made evi-dent by virtual money. If you are tempted to apply for a credit card and you already find yourself having a difficult time paying your bills, attempt to stop yourself and for a second, think clearly. It may seem convenient but beyond that, all credit cards do is create situations where you spend in excess. Ulti-mately you end up tricking yourself into paying for a deal you do not need.
An aspect gained in choosing to use cash instead of credit is that it promotes you to manage your budget. When it comes to purchasing items with cash, you are less impulsive. You only spend what you have. If you want to be finan-cially-smart, you have to be firm when it comes to living a cash only life. With a credit card, you have the power to buy what you desire at the spur of the moment and it is probably something you do not need or perhaps, even want.
For example, you walk into a boutique and you eye a piece of clothing you like. Regardless of the cost, you have the confidence of having a credit card to back you up. In an instant, you bring it over to the counter and let the mer-chant swipe your card for the transaction. As simple as that, you have spent borrowed money on a purchase that does not bring you a return on your in-vestment. When you get home, and look at your purchase buyer's remorse may lead to regret. Living a cash only life means you manage your money well and make wise purchases on your needs vs. wants. You can be rid of debt, if you are wise. Money issues are serious. It is important to have a plan of action for your finances. Learn to be smart with your money and avoid spending on purchases that do not have resale value. Choose not be naïve to spend a future paycheck before you have earned it.
It is better when you learn to wait, use discernment and pay with cash. You only pay for what you need and not spend money for quick-fix matters. Sure, credit cards pay for your purchases in advance but they also charge you for it.
It takes discipline to get used to a cash only lifestyle. Wealth management is something you really have to devote time to in order to succeed. It is either you give in and conform to looking over your shoulder for the next credit card bill or stand your ground and feel free in knowing that all your purchases are Paid In Full by living Cash Only. www.CASHONLYProductions.com

Member Story of the Day -
Teen Driver:
“I’m so excited!!! A few months ago my 17
year old son was driving with 3 of his
friends in Central Point, OR and got a
traffic ticket for not coming to a com-
plete stop at a stop sign. Today when he
went to court…not only was he the
youngest person in the courtroom, but he
was the only person with an attorney.
After a little negotiation between our
Legal Shield Attorney and the Officer it
was decided… CASE DISMISSED. This
saved our family a $300 fine and NO
increase in insurance premiums because
he will receive NO POINTS ON HIS
DRIVING RECORD.
Thank you AGAIN, Legal Shield.”
“Our cable bill jumped from $93/mo. to
$200/mo. My husband requested a reduc-
tion in the rate. They promised, but did-
n't deliver. Our Legal Shield provider law
firm wrote a 2-page letter to [well-known
cable company] on our behalf. They re-
duced our rate back to $93/mo. and gave
us 5 free months with premium channels.
Thank you Legal Shield for having our
back.”
