Living with a giving spirit creates a rising tide that raises all the ships it touches, including the ship of the one who generates that tide. Create a culture of excellence, and you reap the rewards of excellence.
Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment.
Value is not the same thing as price or compensation. Your value is not necessarily equal to your salary.
Your salary is simply the payment you take. Your value is the relative worth you add to the organization.
When your focus is on giving even more in value than what you’re getting paid for, you will create a cycle of advancement that will sooner or later see your position, pay and influence all increase – and increase significantly.
The First Law determines how valuable you are, that is, it describes your potential income – how much you could earn.

Your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them.
In addition to adding value to the process, you also must touch as many people as possible with that added value.
Now it’s not a question of value. It’s a question of impact.
You still offer the same service and the same level of value, only now you are having greater impact through greater numbers. Impact equals income.
Word of mouth is the most powerful and effective marketing force there is.
One way this principle operates in the business world is through referrals.
Serve people so well that people feel compelled to brag about it to others.

Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people’s interests first.
If you place the other person’s interests first, your interests will always be taken care of.
What creates influence? Putting other people’s interests first.
The key to this law lies in the sincere wholeheartedness of the orientation.
Regarding people through the lens of this constant question: “In what ways might I contribute significantly to this person’s life?”

The most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself.
Authenticity is something you cannot really fake, at least not for the long term. People have an uncanny radar for inauthenticity and, whether consciously or not, can smell it a mile away.
Knowledge and the development of solid skill sets are very important. But they are worthless in the absence of authenticity, while the presence of authenticity multiplies their effectiveness geometrically.

The key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving.
Every giving can happen only because it is also a receiving.” Giving and receiving are two sides of one coin; they can operate fully only when working in tandem. Receiving is the natural result of giving; at the same time, continued giving is the natural result of receiving.
There are people who are habitual takers, who take and only take – yet there are also people who give and refuse to allow themselves to receive.
If you don’t let yourself receive, you’re refusing the gifts of others and you shut down the flow.
