Give and recieve value

Everything in business is about giving and recieving value.

I am stunned to hear people say that people "owe" them money or "owe" them fame. What on earth are they talking about? The right thing to focus on is to first think of ways to contribute (giving value) and then collect. Didn't the Bible say "give and you will recieve"? Yes, it did. But even though the Bible says this people are stubborn enough to think that others are to give them value first. Give them money first, give them love first etc. It ain't gonna happen. Get real.

It is not a phenomona that people are money poor or that people hate them. The reason people hate them or that they have very little cash on hand is because they aren't worth their salt. Of course there are people that give and give and never collect a dime. They give of their time or from their expertise but collect netiher money nor fame. And there are people who give generously of their love and kindness and never recieve any love back (a lot of these people get killed by crazy people).

There is two major problems in what I've just described to you. Either people count on getting the world without giving anything in return (no equal value exchange)or they give genereously only to be counted out, without getting anything back. The true equation of a great value exchange is when someone gives and also recieves. And someone who recieves and also gives back.

A great deal is like that. Both sides win. A true value exchange has taken place. Evolutions happen that way. Great evolutions. So think about how you can help your neighbor solve his/her problem and ask for something in return. Then you will have mastered the very basic of what dealmaking is about. It is not about being macho at all. It is about helping another human being and being open to getting rewarded for it.

You get paid in equal proportion to what you give and this is not any New Age crap. This is the real deal people. Give and you shall recieve. Stop being a moron.
