Is leadership something you're born with, or can it be learned? The answer might shock you.

It turns out, researchers have discovered that leadership is only 30 percent genetic. And a study conducted by the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, found that students were able to significantly improve their leadership skills through a 15-week academic course.

So what can you do to achieve leadership success if you fall in that other 70 percent range?

The answer: Start learning.

Udemy.com is offering a limited-time discount on best-selling course "Think Like a Leader with Brian Tracy," your golden ticket to becoming a leader who influences and transforms how others feel about themselves and the work they do.

So go ahead – start your road to leadership success with these 3 tips:

1. Find someone who has achieved great things, and learn from them.

"It doesn't matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going." –Brian Tracy

A successful leader is one who realizes a.) that learning is a lifelong process, and b.) who to turn to for advice.

Brian Tracy, keynote speaker and top-selling personal development author who's influenced the world's most influential people, is the kind of guy everyone seeks out for leadership lessons.

He was Chief Operating Officer of a $265 million dollar development company, and he's conducted high level consulting assignments with several billion-dollar plus corporations in strategic planning and organizational development. And now he's offering up his sage advice accumulated over the last 30 years in this course.

2. Follow the numbers.

"Make your life a masterpiece; imagine no limitations on what you can be, have or do." – Brian Tracy
