Give First

We naturally want to get. Get more audience, make more money, ask for more.

But the biggest shift for me has been toward giving, which sounds counterintuitive.

When you give, and give, and give,

give wholeheartedly,

give with enough value,

give without expecting anything in return,

you’ll eventually get.

Money is just a currency for value and trust. When you create enough value for the right people, you earn money that reflects that value and that trust.

But it’s not about simply storing that money or using it only for yourself. You keep giving it back: helping people who need it, sharing more value, helping more people.

It’s a flow. You give in order to get. And when you get, you give more.
