Welcome to the world of the “go-givers”. If you are saying “what the heck is a go-giver?”, it’s cool. I thought the word sounded a little goofy when I first heard it. Let me assure that it is more than a word. It is a lifestyle. It is a movement. To me, it is the ONLY way to run a business. A very profitable way too! Now, I know what you may be thinking… “I am in business to make money, not give it all away.” You are absolutely right, unless, that is what you want to do. Today, I am here to provoke some thoughts with the help of a friend on why giving will change your life and your bank account.
I recently had the chance to grill best-selling Author Bob Burg, who has become a great friend of mine. In this video interview will break down the crazy idea that givers actually make more money. We also talk about a whole range of topics including the Law of Value, authenticity, ego, networking. Oh yeah, and Bob tell us his two things that make up his recipie for success for young entrepreneurs. Hope you enjoy!
Here are a few notes from the interview:
“The opposite of a go-giver is not a go-getter, it’s a go-taker.”
“It’s about shifting your focus from getting to giving.”
“I believe in living on the creative plane rather than the competitive plane.”
“Most of us failed our way to success. The key is did we fail forward or fail and get discouraged.”
“When you focus on what you don’t have, you will never be happy.”
“If you want to make a lot of money in sales, making money should never be your target. Your target is serving people. If you hit your target, you’ll get a reward and your reward will be money.”
