KEY TAKEAWAYS

When you’re younger you’re probably more selfish and self-centred, but that’s okay. That’s the stage of life that you’re at. Your goals when you’re younger are more selfish and focused on yourself. However, you get to a point in business that you realise that if you only focus on your selfish goals, your company will not grow any more and you have to focus on value, service, contribution and fair-exchange. To begin in business you need to be selfish to get the thing going and get out of debt. But there does come a point where all people care about is how you can help them. If you want to create worth for the world, you need to have inner, strong self-worth. If your self-care is low and you’re not giving enough, you will resent your customers if you’re not earning enough income or receiving enough gratitude. Too self-less you’ll come from a place of emptiness, your self-worth will go down and you’ll come from a place of bitterness, resentment and envy and you’ll be caught in a vicious cycle. Too selfish and you’re not focused on value, service and contribution and the world will start to reject you. There will be service complaints, refund requests and you’ll start to get critics, trolls and hatters if you are too selfish. No one cares if you’re a billionaire if you’re not helping to change the world. Therefore you need to make your vision and mission self-less by helping others and you’ll be fulfilled The secret to business is value and what you give the world. Be selfless, give your time, mentorship and help and support. Give but not at the expense of you. Compartmentalise your diary to spent two to three hours a day I ringfence for contribution or value. This can be in the form of social media, consultancy calls, emails and anything you’re doing to help the world, without charging a fee for your services. Find the optimum time for contribution, charity and support and the optimum time for earning money, running your business and growing your audience. You should be equally balanced between selfish and selfless and more selfish in the beginning to fulfil your own needs to start your business and more self-less once you’ve become a little bit more successful.
