Go Give’r!
“I like me best when I’m with you.” – Dan Clark from the “Art of Significance”
A few years ago I read a book by Bob Burg and co-author John David Mann,
“The Go-Giver: A Little Story About A Powerful Business Idea.” My whole life
changed. The philosophy I learned around selling, giving and becoming a
person of influence was so profound that I immediately made plans to change
just about everything in my life.
Suddenly, meeting the right people had to do with being the right person. We don’t attract what
we want, but instead always attract who we are. The world has an uncanny way of being a brilliant
mirror for us – all the time. It’s not what you know but rather it is really about who you know
– and who they know. And more importantly, who influences them!
Ghandi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” I’ve always liked the challenge
in that quote. Stop complaining and go BE the change. Make it happen!
I always knew I wanted to be a catalyst and force for great good in the world… and a lot of my
wandering around ‘looking’ for the right career stemmed from the fact that I wanted the freedom
to work at my own pace, have the flexibility to be myself, and put time and effort into causes that
caught my attention.
Have you ever read “The Four Agreements” by Miguel Ruz? It’s a powerful little book with 4 simple
but profound agreements to set you free and let you really start to live. 1) Be impeccable with your
word. 2) Don’t take anything personally. 3) Don’t make assumptions. 4) Always do your best.
So…
• Ask for assistance, even when you don’t know how to phrase the question yet.
• Seek a wise mentor. Take advice from someone who is living the life you want to live.
• Be willing to learn. We are all at one point the Student-Teacher-Fellow Traveller.
• Remember – it’s nice to be important but it’s also important to be nice.
• Let go of old limiting belief patterns. They are not serving you anymore.
• It’s ok to be different today than you were yesterday, three years ago, or five minutes ago
– just keep growing, learning, being and doing your best.
• Read “How to Win Friends and Influence People” by Dale Carnegie
• Watch your thoughts – they become your life.
• Watch your life – it becomes your legacy.
• Remember to breathe. Life is short.
