Morning Motivator - Take Time to Share

"The greatest gift of all is not money or possessions... Rather it is the gift of time, for time cannot be replaced nor remade."

This morning I met with a good friend in Nashville to chat about using a new technology. Not to sell an OPPORTUNITY, rather what I was doing was taking time to help a friend better his business by SHARING what I know.

What did I get from it? Money. No. Meals. No. Business. No. Then what? What I received was APPRECIATION from a friend and INVESTMENT in a relationship.

Often we are CLOUDED in our judgment of WHY we would give our time, money or expertise to someone else. We ALLOW greed and self interest to outweigh our internal needs and desires to ENHANCE others lives. Consider how much more you could ACCOMPLISH if you were able to spend 1 hour every 3 months with someone that has achieved YOUR type of success... What if you ARE that person for someone else?

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
Take time to CONTRIBUTE to someone else's success in the next 10 days. Ask for NOTHING - simply GIVE.

Then once you have given, ask for the time of someone you ADMIRE and seek to MIMIC in their success.

Ask for no more than 30 mins and offer coffee, lunch or whatever is REQUIRED. Have prepared with questions and action items to show your true intent and serious nature.

If they shoot you down - no worries - just ask someone else. You will be AMAZED at the power of a nice gesture and the FEELING of helping someone else.
