On the Business of Giving

{November 1, 2022}

- 2 Ideas from others -

“You can excel by adding value. If you need money…add value. And if you need a lot of money, add a lot of value.”

- The Chairman
Pindar in The Go-Giver

“Share. Give. Help others. In the proportion and to the extent that you cause others to build their wealth, so will you build your own wealth.”

- David Cameron Gikandi
Author, creative consultant on The Secret (the movie)

 

- 2 Coaching Prompts -

While researching for this week’s topic, I felt drawn to the song, “Get What You Give,” by the New Radicals (link in the resources below).

The world is kind of crazy right now, and there’s a lot of uncertainties— to say the least. I think we often get stuck only looking at the “reality” of our current situation, and easily forget about the abundance that is always available to us.

We’re constantly pressed for time, money, energy, creative ideas.

But Gregg Alexander reminds us…

Don't let go, you've got the music in you
One dance left, this world is gonna pull through
Don't give up, you've got a reason to live
Can't forget, we only get what we give.

With that, dear one, here are your prompts:

  • What is it that you’re lacking right now? What do you need?

  • How can you gift that to someone else?

- 2 Affirmations -

  • I am open to receive the value that I give to others.

  • I choose to believe that I live in an abundant world. What I give will come back to me ten-fold.

You Get What You Give by New Radicals If you grew up in the 90’s you should be no stranger to this song. My friend, blast this song, and let it be an anthem for you.

The Go-Giver: A Little Story About a Powerful Business IdeaI know I listed this as a resource two weeks ago, but this book is so relevant for today’s topic and the current state of the world, that I have to suggest it again. The book states 5 Laws of Stratospheric Success that every human, entrepreneur, real estate agent and corporation should live by. I think the world would be a very different place if we did.
