As a Christian Jesus tells us in the book of Luke, ” Give, and it shall be given unto you: good measure, preseed down, shaken together, and running over, shall men give unto your bossom.” Do You believe this? People in the business world are starting too. I am not saying that all they are saying are right but listen to how dedicated they are. Here is an article, a good article and book review, from Angela Bobal.
The Go Giver - Book Review
“Most people laugh when they hear that the secret to success is GIVING…..Then again, most people are nowhere near as successful as they wish they were.” Bob Burg and David Mann-authors of The Go-Giver.
This book changed the way I think about success. The Five Laws that are explained in this book are simple. They are also highly motivational and deeply inspiring.
I am sure you have all heard the old proverb ” Give and you shall receive.” I wonder how many of us REALLY believe that.
Lets start out by talking about The Five Laws of Stratospheric Success that are described in this amazing book:
The Law Of Value- Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment.
Exceed people’s expectations. You give, give give. It’s not a strategy, it’s a way of life.
The Law of Compensation-Your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them.
You determine your level of compensation. If you want more success, find a way to serve more people. There are no limitations on what you can earn, because you can always find more people to serve.
In the Go- Giver it explains the three universal reasons for working. SURVIVE- to meet your basic needs. SAVE-to go beyond your basic needs and expand your life. SERVE- to make a contribution to the world around you.
Most people spend their lives focusing on the first. However, genuinely successful people in ALL aspects of their lives- keep their focus on the third.
The Law Of Influence-Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people’s interests first. If you place other people’s interests first, your interests will always be taken care of. Watch out for what other people need, with the faith that when you do, you will get what you need. Giver’s attract.
The Law of Authenticity-The most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself. This law is an easy one: BE REAL. Dynamic people talk to you , not AT you. It says in the book that if you want people skills, then BE a person.
The Law of Receptivity-The key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving. Receiving is the natural result of giving. Every giving can only happen because it is also receiving. The Go-Giver says that all the giving in the world won’t bring you success, won’t create the results you want, unless you make yourself willing and able to receive in like measure.
The dictionary defines success as
1. the favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors.
2. the attainment of wealth, position, honors, or the like.
3. a successful performance or achievement: The play was an instant success.
4. a person or thing that is successful: She was a great success on the talk show.
5. Obsolete. outcome.
That may be true. However, I prefer this definition:
-To laugh much; to win respect of intelligent persons and the affections of children; to earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give one’s self; to leave the world a little better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition.; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm, and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived–this is to have succeeded.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
