I was reminded of why it is so important to give more than you receive yesterday when I got a call from an attorney out of L.A. that I talked to back in 2020. He saw something I posted on LinkedIn when we were in the thick of Covid and things weren't looking so good for business owners. I felt helpless myself, but decided that I had knowledge that others could learn from in a time where people really needed it. I started posting marketing tips and ways to market without spending money to help those that put a hold on their marketing because they were trying to keep paying their team. This meant I was giving advice on ways for my own clients to quit and try to do it on their own.
This attorney reached out to me
and asked for a zoom call because he had some marketing questions.
I did this with many, many people during that time and it was
honestly therapeutic for me to not think about my own business and
worry about paying my own team. I ended up talking to him for an
hour and a half giving him advice on ways to navigate this new
world.
I never thought of this guy
again and did not expect anything in return. Well, yesterday, he
reached out. He said he was so appreciative of the time I spent
with him during 2020 that he wanted to use me as his marketing
partner now that he has a budget. I honestly didn't remember who he
was because I had countless meetings like that during that time but
it felt really good to have something come back, even if it was
four years later! Sometimes it's more important to focus on long
term success rather than short term gains.
In this episode, I share why it
is more important to give then receive in business, in
relationships, and even to strangers. How do you give more than you
receive in your life?
