Why Pay it Forward in Todays Business World…
From: askjimcobb.blogspot.com
If you don’t give, you most likely will not get very much in return. I know that this is a harsh statement. However, you really have to look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself this question. Do I give and pay it forward?
In today’s business world you have to give in order to receive. The more you give the more you will receive. I always present paying it forward in this way. “Give ninety percent of the time and you will receive ten percent back.” So look at it this way. Would you be happy with one million dollars? Of course you would. But what if you take ninety percent of it and just gave it away. At this point you probably think I am a little crazy. But what I am trying to do is open your mind to “Paying it Forward.” Just think of what or who you gave the ninety percent to. How would it help someone else’s life or lives.
See “Paying it Forward” as not about you, but about helping someone else. Not expecting something in return. If you expect a return, then don’t do it. But if you do it with kindness and no expectations then what happens is you will cause a phenomenon to happen and the law of attraction will turn on and things will start to happen in your life.
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." This is what we know as the golden rule. In today's society, it seems to have been altered just a tad - "Do unto other's before they do unto you." Albeit a negative connotation, it can be turned one hundred eighty degrees into a positive thought and gesture. The movie Pay It Forward does just that. This movie tells the story of a social studies teacher who gives an assignment to his junior high school class to think of an idea to change the world for the better, and then put it into action.
Now it is time for you to put it into action. What can you do to make a change and make something better?
Today I woke up filled with emotion that really inspired me to do something for others. I have been in the business world for over 30 years and have always given back to others. But when I woke up my mind was filled with stepping my “Pay it Forward” up. I wanted to help more people with success in there off line and online business. Now here is what I have done.
I've have created "Friends Pay it Forward" Community. The premise of this program is the idea of repaying a gifts or kindness, not back to the person who gave it, but forward to someone else (or to many someone else’s), and to keep the idea going by asking them to do the same thing.
How does this work? See Friends always “Pay it Forward” and in most friendships, giving is a way of life. I wanted to give free business information, gifts, tips, tools, and help people help others with success. So I started www.FriendsPayItForward.com a website where this is absolutely no cost to be a member. I like to refer to it as a “Friends Pay it Forward Community and all we ask you to do is “Pay It Forward”.
I will provide everything through emails and newsletters to the membership. As the community grows, so will the website. The first step is starting a list of people who really care and share. Then the evolution of the website will begin. One Step, One Person, One Friendship at a time and then “Pay it Forward”.
You are invited to become a part of the evolution of www.FriendsPayItForward.com . I thank you for your time and welcome any comments to my blog post. You are also invited to listen or call in to my Radio Show “Google Me Talk Radio” every Saturday at 3:00pm eastern US time zone. Go to: www.GoogleMeTalkRadio.com.
Remember to Pay It Forward,
Have a Great Day...
