In response to an article about our recently announced, “The Go-Giver Award” that John posted at his website, he received an amazingly heartwarming response:
Hi John:
What a wonderful opportunity to acknowledge another person. I’m so please you and Bob had this idea.
When the award went live I printed two awards, one for my sister Jane and [...]
Congratulations to HTG Peers Group for being awarded the Champion for the Channel Insider Bull’s Eye Award for Community of the Year.
You may remember reading about this amazing organization of Go-Givers in a post from last year. They will also be one of our featured real-life stories in our forthcoming book, Go-Givers Sell More.
Founded and led [...]
Who in your life are the Go-Givers you’d like to acknowledge? This could include anyone from your parents to your children or siblings; from your boss to your employee and co-workers; from the person who delivers your mail, your plumber, your tailor, the person who cuts your hair, or anyone else who has the qualities of a [...]
Sometimes John and I are asked, “So, how exactly does one add value to others, aside from directly through one’s products or services?” It’s a good question.
The answers are numerous, including – but certainly not limited to – providing useful information, referring business, making introductions, a kind word, a listening ear, a book or article [...]
There are so many ways to give, from donating money and volunteering to devoting time and attention to a worthy cause. Another way to give is encouragement — simple, imaginative, thoughtful encouragement — especially to those who need it most.
A great example is my friend Maralene Strom, who is business counselor for Supported Self-Employment, an [...]
The First Law of Stratospheric Success in The Go-Giver is “The Law of Value.” While John and I say it’s providing more in value than you take in payment, that simply means to make the customer experience so magnificent (remember Ernesto’s explanation of the three types of restaurants) that he or she will be blown away, want to [...]
Law #3 of The Go-Giver is The Law of Influence, which says, “Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people’s interests first.” Sometimes, however, things - be they attitudes or pre-judgments - get in the way of our doing that, don’t they?
In this wonderful article by our friend, Gil Namur, we”ll learn how he corrected a mistake and ended [...]
Imagine a man who spends his time reading books filled with golden nuggets of wisdom. Not hard to imagine that. But wait.
Let’s say he then dissects those books, extracts those wisdom-filled nuggets, provides his own commentary, and sends it to you in a weekly email. Okay, not real hard to imagine. Hang on.
Then let’s say, [...]
John and I are always excited to know our book is being enjoyed.
Take the latest example, Princess Garcia (whose human is Vanessa Michele Garcia of Southern California).
It seems Princess is taking the message so much to heart that she’s attempting to ingrain the Five Laws by actually sleeping on them.
You’ve got to wonder what she’s [...]
Our good friend, award-winning Irish film director (and, not 100 percent coincidentally, the person who will be directing the film edition of The Go-Giver), the very lovely and enchanting Fiona Ashe sent us the following poem, written by a friend of hers, that epitomizes the natural flow of giving and receiving portrayed in the book.
The [...]
