Lets try something different in 2016.......

14 replies
We all have natural talents and natural born gifts, I have found out that the real purpose of us being here is to GIVE that gift, meaning in 2016 flip the script and focus more on GIVING instead of taking. I mean really, what are we really trying to do here, see who can make the most money in which we cant take any of it with us, or leave the world in a better place than we found it. I say this should be the year where we focus more on what we can Give away instead of take away. The Money will come. How? When we focus on giving we change our way of thinking and our attitudes shifts towards being able to receive more of whats to come. By Giving our gifts and talents, we will recognize other opportunities for income to receive......Just to GIVE more.

    I like the idea of giving gifts. If you give gifts, you'll receive gifts. Give wisdom to get wisdom.

    I've seen the fruits of Giving and it reciprocating back multiple times in return. Thanks for taking this topic.

    Nice idea, but it is commonly known that if you wanna make money, you have to be thinking of providing value. The more value you provide, the more money you get in return. In other words, for most of people, "giving" means "expecting to get paid".

      It seems like the really successful ones understand the idea of giving, when you look at companies like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and the rest of the giants, they really didn't give a gingersnap about money in the beginning! The grew by giving , sharing and adding value and being passionate about the idea. If we give and grow, and have passion ,surely we will find ways to monetize. Remember, all of those companies gave first, then monetized later. Smaller companies can do the same, on a smaller scale. Companies that sell products can make minimal profits in the beginning , while giving super customer service and in return will see a surge of buyers. Then the company can start adding more products with increased profit potential products which will allow them to grow in profits. Giving unbelievable deals, giving unbelievable service, will result in a wildly successful profitable company.

    I am glad you are focusing on 'Giving'. Most people are on the other end of the spectrum.

    When you are giving (naturally), your energy shifts into 'flow' and things actually gravitate towards you.

    However, if you ever are just giving to secretly get (for yourself), this won't work.

    You can not manipulate universal law.

    I am not saying you are doing that. Just saying...

    It is not manipulation of the law but a change in mindset.. Anyone can make that change sort of like
    the Christmas movie Scrooge. Anyone can change.

    You can also give to others like charities. When you give, you get back multiple times.

      Giving might make you feel good, and might enhance your reputation. My own experience tells me that it is simply good business practice to deliver honest value for payment received.

      A common precept of virtually every system of human ethics is: "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you."

      The soul is an unprovable speculation; I would not even dignify with the label of a hypothesis, as I know of no scientific procedure by which it might be proved or disproved.

      The notion of some universal law of karma or reciprocity is, likewise, a fantasy... comforting, perhaps, but not verified by any rational test that I have ever observed.

    I wouldn't change the world if i had $50 Billion Dollars. The only thing that would change is the size of my bank balance. And i'd buy an escort and tell that girl she dont have to do anything anymore in life ever again.

    I mean hey, i would be giving her a new life.... right?

      Someone ask me how I plan on giving this year. Well, I plan on doing some free business consulting for startups in 2016. In my hometown , people don't know about how services can be outsourced on Fiverr, they don't know about the warrior forum and other business knowledge that on should know. I have my own clients who pay me for consultant work, but this year i'm doing it a little differently.
