The Go-Giver: Stay Open To Receiving | Note 473

Is it better to give than receive?

 
The Go-Giver is all about a guy named Joe and how his life and business changed forever once he learned how to apply the “5 laws of stratospheric success.”

 
The five laws include:

 
THE LAW OF VALUE
Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment.

 
THE LAW OF COMPENSATION
Your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them.

 
THE LAW OF INFLUENCE
Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people’s interests first.

 
THE LAW OF AUTHENTICITY
The most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself.

 
THE LAW OF RECEPTIVITY
The key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving.

 
In the book Joe realizes, “All the giving in the world won’t bring success, won’t create the results you want, unless you also make yourself willing and able to receive in like measure. Because if you don’t let yourself receive, you’re refusing the gifts of others—and you shut down the flow. Because human beings are born with appetite, nothing is more naturally geared toward being receptive than a baby, and if the secret of staying young, vibrant and vital throughout life is to hang onto those most precious characteristics we all have as children but which get drummed out of us—like having big dreams, being curious, and believing in yourself— then one of those characteristics is being open to receiving, being hungry to receive, being ravenous to receive!”

 
Joe learned that the go-giver stays open to receiving.
