Helping others is the most meaningful way to succeed.

But feedback has been clear that the primary impact has been on people who already identify as givers. They realized they didn’t have to abandon their values—they often just needed to set better boundaries and shield themselves from burnout.

Some readers have argued that it’s impossible to have givers without takers. I disagree. Givers need people to receive, not take. Takers use others for personal gain, and we already have too much of that behavior in the world. Receiving is being grateful for the generosity of others and looking for ways to pay it forward.

Hire differently: it’s more important to screen out takers than hire givers Redesign reward systems: performance evaluations and promotions should account for contributions to others, not just individual results Change norms: for givers to come out of the woodwork, we have to normalize seeking help, not only giving it

In healthy relationships, both people give and receive with no strings attached. They grant each other the freedom to ask without shame, accept without obligation, and decline without guilt.

It depends on the kind of generosity you have in mind. Research suggests that you might get more emotional support in Mexico, but if you’re looking for constructive criticism, you may have an easier time finding it in Germany:

Psychologists find that we tend to stereotype men as ambitious and women as caring. This means that women are more likely to be asked for help—but less likely to get credit for it.

One of my favorite findings is that nouns are often more effective than verbs. When we shift from “thank you for helping” to “thank you for being a helper,” kids are more likely to internalize giving as part of their identities.

A focus on concern for others leads to a stronger sense of purpose, deeper learning, and richer relationships. As a result, along with fueling achievement, caring also boosts happiness.

The Art of Profitability by Adrian Slywotzky Buy the book: Print Ebook Audiobook Or, read the book summary. The Book in Three Sentences: There are many ways to make profit and it is unlikely that your business does all of them.

A Technique for Producing Ideas by James Webb Young Buy the book: Print Ebook Or, read the book summary. The Book in Three Sentences: An idea occurs when you develop a new combination of old elements. The capacity to bring old elements into new combinations depends largely on your ability to see relationships. All ideas follow a five-step process of 1) gathering material, 2) intensely working over the material in your mind, 3) stepping away from the problem, 4) allowing the idea to come back to you naturally, and 5) testing your idea in the real world and adjusting it based on feedback.

Interesting trend: when people and businesses cut spending and focus on saving, they almost always save their energy, effort, and creativity as well. It is as if the mindset of dialing down spending naturally dials down activity in other areas. Success is like a garden. You must constantly tend to it and care for it.

Being dependent on only one person or one solution for success is your fault. Winners bring in success from many different avenues.
Book Summary: The 10X Rule by Grant Cardone
Never reduce a target. Do not explain away failure. Always increase your actions. Nobody wins when you diminish the importance of success. People will say, “success isn’t everything.” No shit. Of course success isn’t everything. But it is important. And diminishing that importance with saying like “success isn’t everything” gives you an excuse to limit your vision of success for yourself and the actions you take. It is your duty to be successful. Do not view success as an option.
Book Summary: The 10X Rule by Grant Cardone
The 10X Rule: You must set targets for yourself that are 10X more than what you think you want and then take 10X the action you think is required to get there. Common mistake 1: setting your sights too low. Common mistake 2: underestimating how much action is required. Common mistake 3: spending too much time competing and not enough time dominating their sector. Common mistake 4: underestimating the amount of adversity they will have to overcome. Any goal you set is going to be difficult to achieve, so why not set them higher from the beginning? Most people feel like they are working – rather…

Why keep working once you have achieved a certain financial level of success? Because you can be happy while accomplishing things, not while resting and doing nothing. If you loved your wife and kids yesterday, should you just stop at that? Or should you build upon it? Same way with your work and legacy. Limiting the amount of success you desire is a violation of the 10X Rule.
Book Summary: The 10X Rule by Grant Cardone
Operating at activity levels far beyond the normal is 10X action and execution. It will take you far. Set targets that are 10X the goals you would ever dream of. Your thoughts and actions are the reason you are where you are right now. In order to go farther than you ever thought possible you must both think and act at levels 10X beyond the norm.

Small differences in performance can lead to very unequal distributions when repeated over time. This is yet another reason why habits are so important. The people and organizations that can do the right things, more consistently are more likely to maintain a slight edge and accumulate disproportionate rewards over time. You only need to be slightly better than your competition, but if you are able to maintain a slight edge today and tomorrow and the day after that, then you can repeat the process of winning by just a little bit over and over again.
