Giving is a Tried and True Secret to Phenomenal Wealth

One reason most people do not live wealthy lives is because they think that the world owes them something. In fact, most people will not give anything unless they get something first. This one incorrect way of thinking can be the different between phenomenal wealth and unhappiness and poverty.

There are many wealth authors who teach about the importance of “giving” first. But one person who does a great job of teaching this and who has the success to prove these principles work is Bob Burg. He wrote a book called Go-Giver and it sets forth a unique way of teaching 5 key “giving” laws about giving. If you master these and keep them in mind in your daily decisions, you will see significant wealth improvements.

THE LAW OF VALUE: You will be wealthy if you consistently give more in value than you take in payment. Always focus on what value you are providing and not as much on what you are receiving. When choosing a path to wealth, choose something that allows you to add real value to this world.

THE LAW OF COMPENSATION. The more people you serve the more wealthy you will be. When I say “serve” I mean serve well by providing them with something that adds value and can make a difference, no matter how small, in their lives.

THE LAW OF INFLUENCE: You create influence by placing other people’s interest first. This does not mean abuse yourself but it means that if you take the first step in doing a favor or helping out someone, spiritual abundance will be returned to you and likely in multi-fold.

THE LAW OF AUTHENTICITY: The most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself. When determining how you can contribute unique value (as a path to wealth), make sure you choose something that you honestly feel is right for you and that will provide unique value to others.

THE LAW OF RECEPTIVITY: In order to acquire wealth, at some point, you need to receive and be willing to receive. Giving is only part of the story which leads to receiving. People who only take and take, never end up with true wealth. Likewise, people who just give and give, end up unhappy and unfulfilled. Imagine yourself receiving those gifts and experiences that you define as wealth. Give and receive!
