As a marketer and Go-Giver, I constantly look at how businesses . . . well, do business.
While some will say the purpose of business is to make a profit (and thus provide value), and others will say the purpose of business is to provide value (and thus make a profit), it still comes down [...]
Most religious and cultural traditions have sayings with regard to charity. And, they’re all terrific!
One of my favorites has to do with the best type of charity being to help one help oneself to no longer need charity.
I’ve always loved the quote, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. [...]
Our world lost one of its true Go-Givers this past weekend as actor, philanthropist, race-car enthusiast/driver/entrepreneur and humanitarian, Paul Newman succumbed to cancer at the age of 83.
I never met him and only saw a few of his many movies. As great an actor as he was, his legacy is what he gave to [...]
The diversity and creativity of our readers never ceases to amaze us!
We’ve got one more “blogosphere update” to go with our last two posts (i.e., here and here), and this one is about another fascinating project that has adopted The Go-Giver as part of its transformational lexicon.

Bob wrote last month, “We rarely do blog posts that promote a new book and would only do so when the book is so important and so in line with the Go-Giver worldview that we just have to tell you about it.”
Well, it’s happened again. We just have to tell you about a magnificent little [...]
Last month, when we saw the Japanese edition of The Go-Giver, we didn’t see how anyone else could possibly equal that amazing production, let alone top it.
And then, a few days ago, the Korean edition arrived.
The illustrations are beyond great: they’re completely adorable. Here is the cover, featuring Pindar, Joe and Claire (signifying the passing [...]
We’ve all heard that saying – it goes something like: “Every person in the world is separated by just six degrees from every other person in the world” (or at least from Kevin Bacon.)
But is that realllllly true?
Not according to Dr. Ivan Misner and Michelle Donovan. And, if any two people should know . . [...]
Some readers have told us that in their view, the central element of The Go-Giver that makes the story work for them is Pindar’s “Condition,” namely, that Joe is required to put each law into practice.
