I just finished reading G0 – Givers sell more by bob burg and John David Mann today and I want to share my thoughts on the book and what I got out of it.
I really loved the book, it was extremely enlightening and educational. If you sell anything or want to increase your value in the business world in any way this is a book to check out.
In this book they discuss the 5 Laws of a go giver. They discuss how to apply them and how to benefit from them in your life.
Here are the 5 laws, what they are and how you can benefit from them…
1. The Law Of Value – Your true worth is determined by how much more value you give then in value you take in payment. What I got out of this chapter was just to be a value river. Flow with value day in and day out. Make value your middle name and hold it close. Where you see you can give more value do it, don’t even think about it and don’t keep score. What goes around comes around and the more value you put out the more it comes back to you.
2. The Law of Compensation – Your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them. This law goes hand-in-hand with the law of value. The law of compensation is what you make now but if you increase your value your compensation will increase also.
3. The Law of Influence – Your Influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people’s interests first. Influence is something that everyone respects. Influence is not easily earned and is not a title. It is something that is something that is earned by being abundantly authentic and abundantly giving. When you are abundantly giving and abundantly giving you will gain more influence because people respect you when you give to them and stay true to yourself. The greatest influencers in the world have mastered these two things.
4. The Law of Authenticity -The Most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself. The more authentic you are the more people want to get to know you and help you out in any way they can. The more authentic and true you stay to yourself the more transparent you and your business is and it allows more people to want to do business with you. It’s like doing business with a friend compared to doing business with a car-salesman you just met. It just make’s sense!
5. The Law of Receptivity – The Key to effective giving it to stay open to receiving. The giving process initiates the receiving process and it usually costs more but that doesn’t mean it’s more important than receiving. You need to receive in order to be able to give, If you cannot receive how can you keep that cycle going and give? you haven’t received anything to GIVE! By being a great receiver you increase your value and when you do that you are able to give more to the world. So be open to receiving along with being a great giver.
I must say this was an awesome book, it’s definitely definitely worth the read! I got so much out of it!
Here are a few lines I really loved from the book:
“Get busy Living, or Get busy dying.” – I fully agree with “You are either growing or dying” and this sums it up real well! Get busy on one of the two!
“Create Value, Touch people’s lives, build networks, Be Real, Stay open.” – This is something we should all be saying daily! it’s a code to live by!
I appreciate the amount of work and effort that people like Bob Burg and John David Mann put into this book. It means a lot to me and I appreciate you both for enriching my life greatly with this book.
I would also like to thank @Justinbrooke for being a true go giver and giving away copies of this book for free on his show. If it wasn’t for him giving this book to me I may have taken a while to even pick it up! I appreciate it!
Please pick up this book below and read it a.s.a.p. I know that you will get a lot out of it and benefit greatly from it! Also Share this post and leave your comments, these are valuable laws your network can benefit from greatly!
Take care and Remember to be a “Go-Giver” in everything that you do!
