Give First!

It seems like every time I give of myself first good things happen. Call is Karma, good will, whatever you want but it’s true.

My thought is that it actually moves me from thinking about myself to start thinking about others first and providing THEM value. Isn’t this the key to successful relationships, business, marketing, sales, and pretty much any communcation with customers, prospects, friends, or even relatives.

The first thought in most everyone’s mind whether conscious or not is “What’s In It For Me?”…The little radar goes up when you try to sell someone something without showing the real value first.

Zig Ziglar puts it will by saying:

“If you can dream it, then you can achieve it. You will get all you
want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.”

Spot on. I’m planning on doing alot more giving in 2010…

I dare you to try it. I’ll put a 20 spot you will grow this year if you do more giving. Your relationships, your income, your health…

Cheers,

Matt
