Tis the season, the season of giving. How much do you give? It is a law that giving does equal receiving. The more you give, the more you will receive. So if you want more, then give. It is as simple as that. Many times in business scenarios, I am asked what I want in return for a referral, and I tell them that I want nothing in return, only that they keep me in mind when they may uncover an opportunity for me.
So if you want more business, better relationships, more love, more prosperity, then all you need to do is to give. I have met a lot of sales people who are interested in what they can get, rather than what they give. If you are more interested in what you give, regardless of the return, then you will be able to receive in great abundance. It is the opposite of what most people naturally think.
Give what? That is a good question. If you want love, then give it. If you want prosperity, then render more service than the competitor. If you want better business relations, then behave like someone others would want to do business with. Give of yourself in every category.
Speaking of the season of giving, I notice how much more discourteous people are as they drive, shop, park, yet this is supposed to be the season of giving. So then why are so many people so concerned about their own well being at the expense of everyone else?
Ask yourself a few questions to see if you line up with this frame of mind.
• What am I giving now? At every moment you have an opportunity to give and you should take advantage of that privilege.
• What is the other person going to get out of this? Put yourself in their shoes and determine if what you are giving is worth having.
• Would they pay for this? If you are in a meeting, ask yourself if the client would pay for the meeting with you.
• Am I giving more than my competitors? Most do the minimum. If you want to stand out from the competition, then give more than they do.
The law of giving is a great law and a powerful one that will work as you continue to apply it faithfully. So don’t stop giving, but increase your level of giving every day. You will see that is works.
Merry Christmas.
To your Success!
