The Go-Giver<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Years ago, I was introduced to an amazing book, The Go-Giver<\/u><\/a> by Bob Berg and John David Mann.\u00a0 I have read this book many times since then and have used it in a church small group I was teaching. I developed a course called SUCCESS\u2014IT\u2019S OUR CHOICE.\u00a0 The reason I chose this title was because success IS our<\/strong> choice.\u00a0 Anyone can succeed.\u00a0 One must decide that is what they are going to do and \u201cjust do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

I have taught SUCCESS\u2014IT\u2019S OUR CHOICE<\/a> twice and I am currently on my third session.\u00a0 During my first session, I spend two weeks sharing the concepts of the Go-Giver<\/u>.\u00a0 Each participate was to get the book, read it, then we would discuss and practice what the book taught.\u00a0 All my \u201cgroupies\u201d loved the book and got a lot out of it.<\/p>\n

Therefore, I decided to share the laws contained in this book with you.\u00a0 Laws, that if practiced, will change your life both professionally and personally.<\/p>\n

The book shares five laws of success.\u00a0 These laws are simple, but when put into practice will take you to success levels you only dreamed of!\u00a0 I personally like the concept.\u00a0 Success is good, but stratospheric<\/em> success is awesome!<\/p>\n

The first law of stratospheric success is The Law of Value, <\/strong>which teaches that your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment<\/em>.\u00a0 For example, any dealer can sell a car, but the ones that give more in value than their competition end up with the most business.\u00a0 They may offer a car, but they also offer other things of value along with it such as free car washes, discounted services, free oil changes for a year and other such things.\u00a0 They call periodically to make sure the customer is happy with their service.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t cost much to provide those value-added services, but they mean a lot to the customer and that equates to good word of mouth reports and referrals.\u00a0 Think about what you can do to offer more value<\/strong> to a customer, or anyone for that matter, and watch your business grow along with your bank account.<\/p>\n

The second law of stratospheric success is The<\/strong> Law of Compensation,<\/strong> which states that your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them.\u00a0 <\/em>Everything you will ever want in life will come through other people.\u00a0 Every dime you get will be given to you by someone who wants something that you can provide for them.\u00a0 The secret is to find a way to serve a lot of people and to service the very well.\u00a0 Answer these two questions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What do I have of value to serve the people?<\/li>\n
  2. Is there a way I could serve MORE people?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Stratospheric law number three is the Law of Influence<\/strong>.\u00a0 This law tells us that your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people\u2019s interests first.\u00a0 <\/em>I am in the sales profession.\u00a0 One thing I have learned is, when with a customer, I must focus on THEIR needs, not my commission check or what I will get out of the encounter.\u00a0 Customers can tell when you are under pressure to \u201cmake a sale.\u201d\u00a0 Believe me, when your focus is on you and not them, you will lose every time.\u00a0 Focus on the other person because that is all the other person cares about.\u00a0 They want their needs met and when you take care of their needs your needs will automatically be taken care of. \u00a0I like the way Zig Ziglar said it, \u201cYou can have anything in life that you want if you help enough other people get what they want.\u201d<\/p>\n

    I love the next law and I think you will too.\u00a0 This law is a bit harder to follow, but here it is: The Law of Authenticity.\u00a0 <\/strong>This law states that the most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself.\u00a0 <\/em>Many people suffer from low self-esteem.\u00a0 As a result, they try to be like someone else.\u00a0 They become actors, and no one likes a fake.\u00a0 You don\u2019t have to act, God made only one of you and He likes you the way you are. \u00a0You are one of a kind, unique, and everyone knows that a \u201cone of a kind\u201d priceless.\u00a0 For years, I played the actor.\u00a0 I tried to be and do what was expected when in the presence of certain people.\u00a0 I also wanted to be like others that I thought were \u201cbetter than me.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 How dumb is that!\u00a0 Being a copy is not nearly as valuable than being an original.\u00a0 Learn to be yourself, be authentic.\u00a0 People will fall in love with you\u2026the genuine you. Give people the chance to know the authentic you.<\/p>\n

    The Law of Receptivity <\/strong>is the fifth and final law.\u00a0 Frankly, this was the hardest for me.\u00a0 This law says that the key to effective giving is to stay receptive to receiving.\u00a0 <\/em>How many times where you offered something and felt guilty about taking it.\u00a0 You said, \u201cOh, that\u2019s ok, you keep it.\u201d\u00a0 We almost blush when offered something.\u00a0 For me, it\u2019s easier to give than to receive.<\/p>\n

    Let me tell you something.\u00a0 Giving AND receiving form a circle.\u00a0 This circle is broken when we are unwilling to receive.\u00a0 When someone offers you something and you receive it, you end up BLESSING THEM.\u00a0 Their gift was a sowing. \u00a0A sowing that, if received, would result in a blessing to THEM.\u00a0 In a bad way, the \u201cbuck\u201d stopped with the one broke the circle, the flow of blessing, by not receiving.\u00a0 Simply stated, giving and receive form a flowing circle.\u00a0 When either is stopped, broken, or refused, the flow stops.\u00a0 Be willing to give, but also be willing to receive.<\/p>\n

    THE GO-GIVER is an amazing book.\u00a0 It\u2019s written in a parable form with a cast of characters that that will keep you turning the pages until the book is complete.\u00a0 I strongly encourage you to pick up a copy and read it and even study it.\u00a0 These laws, when followed, will change your life and take you to stratospheric levels of success.<\/p>\n
