Episode 15 – Fresh Tracker Bob Burg, co-author of the international bestseller, The Go-Giver, talks about shifting your focus from “getting to giving”. He tells us the results are far from just nice…it’s also very financially profitable!
When you can take your focus off yourself and shift it onto how
you can be an asset of value to other people, you’ll plant seeds of
goodwill — of great will — that will come back to you many, many
times over. And, not because of some magical, mystical type of
thinking, but because it makes absolutely practical sense.
Are you wondering if this isn’t more feel-goody, new-agey stuff
that doesn’t work in the real-world?” Or, even, “Sure, maybe when
the economy is good, but now we have to fight for everything we
get.”
In other words, isn’t what he’s saying simply naive?
Actually, not only is it not naive, it’s quite practical. And, again…for very concrete reasons that you’ll learn, benefit from, and most likely utilize for the rest of your life. Bob has built his business, and shows others how to build theirs, based on one overriding, foundational principle: “All things being equal, people will do business with, and refer business to, those people they know, like and trust.”
Tune into this week’s episode and enjoy this entertaining and humorous, but very to-the-point guest who will add exceptional value to your business; and to your life. And, always remember, “You cannot control ‘The’ Economy, but you can absolutely control ‘Your’ economy.
