Driving Laws and “Road Rage”
While I was driving recently, I was thinking about you. As I thought about what to share with you, I watched other drivers on the road be impatient and unkind to one another. For example, I watched as someone in a line of 20 cars decided he didn’t want to wait in line. (We’ll call…
What is Family History?
Some people call it genealogy. In general, “Family History” is the collection of stories and pictures associated with experiences of family members. For example, in my family history, I have a relative that was in World War II. My “family history” would include stories of where he served as well as pictures of him in…
What is the Fifth Law of Stratospheric Success?
The Law of Receptivity says “the key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving.” Okay, I have a few different points to make about this one. First, the “age-old-wisdom” has been passed along incorrectly. The Bible originally taught “It is better to be in a position to give than to be in a…
What is the Fourth Law of Stratospheric Sucess?
The Law of Authenticity states “the most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself.” This law makes sense to me because each of us are unique. Granted, in the business world, many people have accounting skills. Every business needs someone to make the accounting records and keep in legal compliance. These concepts make sense.…
What is the Third Law of Stratospheric Success?
The Law of Influence says, “your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people’s interests first.” One thing that I thought was interesting about this section of the book The Go Giver was how we measure influence. Sam asks what would most people say make influence. Joe replies money and a few other…
What is the Second Law of Stratospheric Success?
The Law of Compensation, according to the book The Go-Giver,goes something like this… Your compensation is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them. Our friend Joe puts it another way. The first law is about how much you could earn while the second law is how much you really…
What is the First Law of Stratospheric Success?
It is the Law of Value. The best way I can explain the law of value is based on “worth.” In accounting, the “value” of something is what someone pays for it. In non-profit accounting, many times a non-profit will have gifts that are physical items rather than cash. When these gifts are received, the…
What is The Go Giver?
The Go Giver is the book I’ve been reading, or should I say, listening to. It is about the 5 “Laws of Stratospheric Success.” The book is told in a format that is much like Aesop’s Fables. Each “experience” of our young hero teaches a “moral of the story.” The story starts with a young…
Live In Gratitude
Usually, at the end of the day, I sit and think about what happened as I plan what’s going to be done tomorrow. When I started thinking about what happened yesterday, I really had a difficult time focusing on the “successes” of the day. I learned some time ago that our minds are built to…
John Thornhill’s Partnership To Success – Week 2
Hello again! This week, I’m working on John Thornhill’s “Partnership To Success” Week 2 training. So far, it’s been pretty easy to follow along. I think the most beneficial part of his training is that the videos are literally “step-by-step.” There’s two things that I observe about (1) myself, and (2) the training because of…
