In this episode, I talk about the difference between a leader and a top performer. We usually have a notion that these two are synonymous, but the truth is, not all top performers are leaders and you don't necessarily have to be a top performer to be a leader. Top performers aim for results but leaders aren't judged by their results. Leaders are judged by looking at their team. So what are the qualities of a leader? 1. They lead by example - What are you doing today to lead your organization? Leaders should be models, especially on the way they lead. As a leader, you must be intentionally working with your team. 2. They help lift up the people in their team - Again, legacy leadership. It's all about developing others in your team. Take the spotlight off of you and put your people on stage. Leaders get more joy when their people win. So, are you a leader or a top performer?

81: The Difference Between Being a Leader and a Top Performer

Welcome to The Your Virtual Upline Podcast

For the leader who's followed every rule, and still feels behind.
You've posted. You've pushed. You've promoted.

You've stayed consistent like they told you to… and it still doesn't feel like it's working.
If your success is costing you your peace — you're not the problem.

The system is. And it's time to break free.

Hosted by Bob Heilig, creator of the LOVE-LED™ Growth Method™, this is the first podcast of its kind, a new standard for online leaders who want to grow from belief, not burnout.

LOVE-LED™ Growth isn't just a mindset shift.

It's a system, rooted in rhythm, led by identity, and built to help you grow a business that reflects who you are.

It's how your content stops selling, and starts leading.
It's how your leadership becomes the strategy.
It's how growth starts to feel like peace again.

Every episode is a weekly invitation to shift from Fear-Led Achiever to LOVE-LED™ Leader, and step into the movement of belief-driven business.

This isn't just where your strategy changes.

This is where you do.
And your transformation starts right here.
