Giving
to Receive
to Give Again!
by Gerry Rose,
Business Consultant
Many of you have heard me speak of
the Four Pillars of INTEGRITY. Some
say I should speak of them more
frequently.
They are:
-
Give to receive to give
again
-
Working with people of the
highest moral values and
ethics
-
Collaboration
-
Abundance
For this article I am focusing on
“Give to receive to give again.” My
reason is that as I go through my
daily routine I see too many of you
getting less than what you deserve.
If given the chance I would do for
you what I did for this special
friend below.
When I speak of the pillar “Give to
Receive to Give Again” I have had
good people shake a finger at me
saying, “You are only in business to
get,” as if getting is a bad thing.
I agree that I am in business to
receive. I see value in what I
deliver and so do others. I
challenge those who think they only
give because they are benevolent to
consider this world truth, “We all
give to get.” Have you ever heard
the expression, the joy is in the
giving? Many philanthropists give
for “joy.” I defy anyone who reads
this article to tell me that they
give only for the sake of giving.
Back to my special friend and what I
offer each of you.
Recently I sat with a very talented
individual (my special friend.) For
nearly four decades this person has
been a pillar in the community. In
many homes this person’s name is a
“household” word. Peers in this
industry make in excess of six
figures in their ‘nine to five’
position. With endorsements and
other contracts these peers make
anywhere from $350,000 to $500,000
per year in their trade. Within the
last two years this individual was
nearly homeless!
As we sat discussing a project with
one of my clients, I asked this
individual how he is compensated.
The reply was something to the
effect of “In the after life I will
get my reward.” My client looked at
me with astonishment in her eyes.
As an important note, my client
provides services to the needy.
This individual was telling my
client and me how to increase
revenues in our businesses to better
serve our constituents. I saw such
talent sitting in front of me - I
could only do one thing. I needed
to liberate this person.
My client sitting at this meeting
currently serves less than 4 percent
of her target market. With the help
of this individual she could easily
serve 20 percent in the next two to
three years. This individual can
provide all of the information
necessary to market her business.
This individual deserves to get
paid!
To make my point I asked this
individual, “Do you see value in
what you do? As you can show my
client how to generate $10,000 more
in revenue this year, with the
potential of earning five to 10
times that in the next year (and
future years), do you deserve to be
compensated?” This individual was
nearly in tears, blessing me for
enlightenment. For the next decade
to come, what is given will no
longer come for free. A value will
always be placed on the service and
will be paid in full.
Benevolence needs to be a part of
all of our lives. When considering
destitution comparing that to being
paid, we all need to consider the
latter rather than the former. Are
you being paid what you are worth?
Will you consider giving to receive
to give again?
I am always available for
conversation around this important
business topic.
