Watch how animals in nature behave, particularly carnivores versus herbivores. Herbivores tend to be full of fear and simply react to changing conditions and carnivores constantly seek out and stalk prey. Carnivores are at the top of the food chain because of their proactive nature. The farther down the food chain organisms are the more reactive they are. The same is true of the metaphorical food chain in the business world. A CEO or a network marketing leader with an organization of thousands will tend to be much more proactive than those who report up the food chain. If you want to put yourself at the top of that metaphorical food chain, you must seek out ways to be proactive whenever possible.
