Good morning.
Most of you know that I donate 10% of the income I earn from business referrals to Crusaders for Veterans, helping financially stressed Vets across the Gulf Coast, and the Wildlife Rehabilitation Outpost
I will elaborate a bit on how this grows MY business and how you can use it to grow yours. People routinely call Christmas their favorite holiday. Primarily, children and some adults anticipate receiving gifts from loved ones; however, the majority say that Christmas is their favorite holiday because they enjoy purchasing and giving gifts to others.
The paradoxical nature of reality is that charity benefits the giver more than the person who receives.
The physical gift or money may go to the receiver, and yet the primary spiritual and personal reward goes to the one who gives. When you give, you reinforce a healthier relationship with money. You practice detachment. You remind yourself that money is a tool, instead of the measure of your worth.
Charity is practical psychology and spiritual discipline. People who give regularly tend to carry themselves with greater confidence and reduced anxiety about money. They feel freer. That internal shift shows up in how they negotiate, how they lead, and how they handle both success and setbacks.
The receiver gets temporary assistance. The giver builds lasting character and is the real beneficiary of charity.
For business owners like us, this matters. A healthier internal relationship with money produces better external results. Paradoxically, the best way to increase your business profits is to GIVE to charity. I’ll go into this more next week in network education.
