In our upbringing we've heard What goes around comes around. What you give you get. What you sow, so shall you reap.
In my studies of various religions many years ago, that was a common thread that ran through all of them and where numbers were used I read:
Whatever you give out comes back to you 10-fold.
I've shared this with 1,000s of people since becoming consciously aware of it, and especially with my entrepreneurial clients since becoming a Business Success Coach in 2003. As an example, I teach that, knowing this, it's better to stay focused on giving out GOOD, even GREAT energy, rather than the opposite ... because when you put out positive energy, you receive that back 10-fold. Hence, when you send out crap, you receive that back 10-fold, too. You choose.
As entrepreneurs we're always giving to our clients. My recent studies have taught me: In a direct exchange we must always give more than we receive, even in the exchange with clients/customers.
I, too, was perplexed. How do we make a profit if we give more than we're paid for?
It's quite simple. We must give more in use value than what we receive in financial value. Well, that's a done deal in most cases. My HVAC clients, for example, sell & install furnaces and air conditioners. Whatever they receive in money from their customers is very little in relation to the long-term enjoyment of comfortable, clean climate-controlled air.
Similarly, my custom homes builder clients give far more in use value (enjoyment & pleasure) to their home buyers than the money they receive.
Etc.
DONATIONS are another way of giving and that's not always easy. There are so many organizations out there asking us for money, yet not all of them seem to have the same ethics we do. It takes little effort to find just the right organization once you make the decision.
I strongly encourage you to donate regularly and generously if you don't already.
Why? Well, for 1 reason, because we receive 10-fold what we give.
About 6 months ago I started "lending" to entrepreneurs in developing countries ... and the "feel-good" factor is enormous! Each time I lend to someone new, it's absolutely thrilling. This isn't donating, and I'm already receiving repayment from many of the borrowers (which I immediately enjoy lending to others - it's like the donation that keeps donating). To me, this is helping these entrepreneurs, not taking care of them. If you'd like to learn more about how you can help entrepreneurs the world over, and having FUN doing it, with as little as $25, check out this link: Freedom by Example Helping people in other countries and continents doesn't speak to everyone, and that's fine.
Helping people in our own countries is also huge, also leaving us with an enormous feel-good factor. My point in talking about this is ... the giving. Not only do you receive back 10 times the joy that the people receiving the help enjoy, but it also works that the money you give (when given unconditionally - with no expectations of return) comes back to you 10-fold.
That seems like a paradox, I know. It may seem like the giving, therefore, could be done in order to receive 10-fold the money back. Well, here's the paradox: It only comes back 10-fold IF/WHEN you give with no expectation of receiving anything in return.
If you already give freely ... you know exactly what I'm talking about. It's cool, eh?
And here's another organization with which I very recently became affiliated and this one is a donation. It was one of those things that just spoke to me. When I learned of it, I simply went to their website and donated. In fact, as you'll see, I set up my own "page" because I just KNEW that I would want to spread the word and start a movement about this project. You can read why by clicking on this link. It may ... or may not ... speak to you. If it does, you don't have to spend the time & effort to start your own page, you can donate on mine. You, too, can start your own movement and spread the word to everyone you know. There are many great causes out there ... in every country. I'm merely suggesting you consciously use the Law of Reciprocity to your benefit, and the benefit of others.
Definition of Law of Reciprocity?
What goes around comes around.
What you give you get.
Enjoy giving ... and receiving!
Promising you, too,
MORE PROFIT
TONS MORE FUN
RETIREMENT ... on your terms!
'Cause that's what it's all about.
Talk about receicing things back 10-fold ...
I called for a Town Car, and look what showed up!
Every single one of us was manifesting like crazy throughout the entire Workshop #3 of 4 in the year-long-and-deep T-C BS
Before starting our partnership with Lynne I had trouble delegating work, thinking I was the only one who could do it. I didn't know what I liked and what I didn't like in my own job description. I was often struggling with cash flow -- and, as usual in business, profits weren't sufficient.
I now do what I love to do; I have a positive attitude and work and live in a positive atmosphere; we're having FUN; our profits have increased and we're now leading our business.
If you're finding it difficult to make the decision to work with Lynne, my advice to you is, simply, Step into it! You will grow, as a person, and so will your business grow. Lynne helps us come to know what the truth really is! We really are here to serve! We all are! Lynne keeps us accountable to keep going to get to where WE want to.
