The People Investment

DO YOU LEAVE PEOPLE BETTER

THAN YOU FOUND THEM?

One of the most exciting decisions you can make is to be on the lookout for opportunities to invest in others. For me, this has been one of the most powerful principles of momentum I’ve implemented in my life. About ten years ago, I remember  driving to Tulsa,  Oklahoma, from St. Louis Missouri with my family. I was listening to a Zig Ziglar tape and on this tape he said, “You’ll always have everything you want in life if you’ll help enough other people get what they want.” When I heard this statement, literally, something went off inside of me, and I said out loud, “I’m going to do it.” That decision to look for ways to help others, to invest in them, changed my life.

“There are three keys to more abundant living: caring about others, daring for others and sharing with others” (William Ward). Assign yourself the purpose of making others happy and successful. People have a way of becoming what you encourage them to be.

There are two types of people in the world: those who come into a room and say, “Here I am!” and those who come in and say, “Ah there you are!” Do this: “If you cannot win, make the one ahead of you break the record” (Jan McKeithen). Invest in others. It pays great dividends.
