There’s no better way to celebrate the life and legacy of Kobe Bryant, former Los Angeles Lakers basketball star, than through the lessons he’s taught us through his own motivational words. While his untimely death has shaken the world, we can honour the contributions of the five-time world-champion by reflecting on these unforgettable and hard-hitting Kobe Bryant quotes.
On Leadership
“To be an effective leader, you have to be a really good listener and not to what’s being said, but to what’s not being said. You have to be really observant. That was a big transition for me. I went from being a scorer and a floor general … to being a leader and that meant putting others first. That means not worrying about are you in rhythm, are you playing well in this game, are you ready to go, to being, are they ready? What can I do to help them be ready?”
This lesson from Kobe Bryant can be applied directly to our direct selling journey. If we wish to be successful and achieve a higher rank, we need to help more of our team advance to higher ranks. We need to be aware of the skills of our team – have they had the training to conduct their own presentations, are they well-versed in the ins and outs of the QNET Compensation Plan, are they familiar with our QNETPRO pledge, and are they up to date with QNET product know-how? All of this is what it takes to be a great and successful network marketing leader.
On Sacrifice

“We all can be masters at our craft, but you have to make a choice. What I mean by that is, there are inherent sacrifices that come along with that. Family time, hanging out with friends, being a great friend, being a great son, nephew, whatever the case may be. There are sacrifices that come along with making that decision.”
Being an entrepreneur and a distributor means you have to work non-traditional hours to find success. Weekends and public holidays are often the best times for delivering presentations and attending training sessions. Your family and friends may take time to accept this schedule. However, sacrificing a routine will lead you to greater freedom once you’ve built the right foundation, making all of this worth it.
