A motivational talk on why generosity matters in relationships and business. The speaker critiques typical outreach messages and recommends the book Go Givers Sell More as a guide to giving rather than taking.
Hey, would love to pick your brain sometime over coffee. When are you free? Nobody likes this guy. All right, we've all probably got this message before in our life and how did it make you feel? Not very good. This guy is clearly trying to take from you and zap all your energy from your brain. Extract everything you know without giving you anything in return. Why would you say yes to that? If you've sent that message in your life, you should probably rethink how you're outreaching to people you want to talk to. You're trying to take from them. The most selfless people I know are also the most rich people I know. They're givers first and takers second. And they give, give, give without expecting anything in return. Whereas takers, they take, take, take and only take and they're self interested. Be a go giver. There's a book out there called Go Givers Sell More. I highly suggest you read it.
