Giving is not a strategy. It's a way of life.

When it comes to influence, TRUST is often the missing piece.

Unless you are able to influence the way others think and act, your chances for success are limited.

I like to define networking as cultivating mutually beneficial, give-and-take, win-win relationships... The end result may be to develop a large and diverse group of people who will gladly and continually refer a lot of business to us, while we do the same for them.

What is so interesting about giving is not only that it pays, but that it pays in such unexpected ways. When you live with generosity, blessings come to you from corners and avenues you never would have expected.

How far can you push a rope? Not very far. That's why true influencers don't push.

Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people's interests first.
