In this insightful episode of Money Matters, we were thrilled to welcome back Bob Burg, a renowned author and expert in the art of giving in business.

Host Christopher Hensley and Bob delve deep into the principles outlined in Bob's book, "The Go-Giver," which has sparked a global movement. Bob elucidates how shifting focus from getting to giving – providing immense value to others – is not only fulfilling but also the most financially profitable approach. Key Highlights: The Five Laws: Bob breaks down the essence of his philosophy into five laws: Value, Compensation, Influence, Authenticity, and Receptivity. Each law provides a unique perspective on how focusing on others' needs leads to personal and professional prosperity. Impact of Authentic Connections: Bob emphasizes the importance of genuine interactions in business. He shares a powerful anecdote about the impact of a handwritten thank-you note, illustrating the lasting effect of personal touches in professional relationships. Advice for Entrepreneurs: Reflecting on his 30 years of experience, Bob offers sage advice for entrepreneurs, stressing the significance of serving others over a sole focus on profit. He also discusses the critical role of mentorship in career growth, providing practical tips for seeking mentors effectively. The Go-Giver Philosophy: Bob explains how his philosophy aligns with human nature, focusing on providing value to others as a pathway to success.

Tässä jaksossa vieraanamme on Maria Friström eli Instagramista tuttu @marialovesrealestate. Miten mahdoton voi olla mahdollista? Mistä Maria on ammentanut hullun rohkeuden siihen, että on heittäytynyt työskentelemään neljällä eri mantereella, aloittamaan asuntosijoittamisen, gryndaamisen ja paljon muuta? Keskustelemme oikeiden kysymysten tärkeydestä elämän käännekohdissa, rohkeuden merkityksestä elämissämme sekä oman perspektiivinen muuttamisen vaikutuksista. Maria avaa myös sitä miksi Marian sielu vetää aina rapakon taa eli Yhdysvaltoihin. Mikä amerikkalaisuudessa on ihanaa? Millaista on operoida korkeiden tavoitteiden maailmassa? Voiko olla tyytyväinen, vaikka menee eteenpäin tai mennä eteenpäin, vaikka on tyytyväinen? Jaksossa Maria paljastaa oman mindset työnsä tärkeimpiä harjoituksia, joilla hän on päässyt linjaan tulevaisuuden minänsä kanssa. Tämä jakso käsittelee itsensä kehittämisen teemoja monesta eri näkökulmasta. Yhdestä asiasta olemme kaikki yhtämieltä ; elämä on suurenmoinen matka, jossa ei voi tulla valmiiksi.

In this Aging GreatFULLy power-hour of enlightYOUment, we discuss an important topic to everyone—relationships! So often relationships can feel like two ships that pass in the night verses two ships anchored side by side in the harbor. And at the core of our relationships can be marriage. With that, we welcome the coauthor of more than thirty books, John David Mann, including four New York Times bestsellers and five national bestsellers; his classic 2008 parable The Go-Giver (coauthored with Bob Burg) selling over 1 million copies and earned the 2017 Living Now Book Award's “Evergreen Medal” given for its “contribution to positive global change.” But John David Mann's latest work involved a different partner of the pen, his life partner and partner in marriage, Ana Gabriel Mann, M.A., and together, they created The Go-Giver Marriage: A Little Story About the 5 Secrets to Lasting Love. Together they weaved their wisdom, unique strengths and experiences to create The Go-Giver Marriage to be a book like no other!Over the years since the original book's publication, the term “go-giver” has become shorthand for a defining set of values that has helped hundreds of thousands of people around the world find greater professional success. Now, with its charming fable-within-a-parable, followed by an in-depth practical guide, The Go-Giver Marriage brings the personal side of The Go-Giver to life.For more than a decade, readers of the bestselling Go-Giver series have been clamoring for a book on how to apply the philosophy at the heart of The Go-Giver to their personal relationships. From the original story's coauthor, John, who is a well-known and gifted storyteller, and his wife, Ana, a clinically trained educator and therapist, this long-awaited sequel shows readers how to unlock a deeply satisfying, abundant relationship based on simple, everyday acts of generosity. You'll enjoy the entire hour as John and Ana share how to improve your marriage by focusing on your own mindset, and how you bring yourself to the relationship. They discuss how one simple practice can transform your relationship and create positive, lasting change in as little as a week or two. They remind us to drop the score card, and alternatively, build a “things-I-love-about-you” list that can transform the quality of your marriage and so much more you won't want to miss! They also share their favorite secrets to lasting love but you'll have to listen to find out what they are! Ana Gabriel Mann earned her degree in clinical psychology before going on to serve as a celebrated educator, therapist, corporate trainer, speaker, and coach.

He is also an unapologetic animal fanatic and is a past member of the Board of Directors of Furry Friends Adoption, Clinic & Ranch in his town of Jupiter, Florida.   THIS TOPIC IN A NUTSHELL:[01:23] His career background[02:35] How the book started and how people can relate to it[03:50] Shifting your focus from getting to giving[04:40] What sustainable success means  [06:00] About the book “Go-giver”[06:22] Five Laws of Stratospheric Success[06:39] Law 1: Value  [07:26] Law 2: Compensation [07:52] Law 3: Influence [09:05] Law 4: Authenticity  [10:00] Law 5: Receptivity [11:46] Law of life when it comes to giving[12:50] Tips on how to provide value to others[13:10] Difference between a price and value[13:50] Value in the eyes of the beholder [15:24] Understanding your customers [16:20] Unconscious operating system[17:50] The great influencer [20:00] Breaking down barriers with people [21:20] Seeking what other people really mean[24:52] Advice to his 25-year-old self[25:40] First Entrepreneurial Endeavour[27:27] His Formal and Informal Training that shaped his journey[28:48] The Deal or Opportunity that got away[31:58] How to reach out to Bob Burg KEY QUOTES: [03:01] The basic premise is simply shifting your focus from getting to giving and by giving we simply mean constantly and consistently providing immense value to others. Understanding that doing so, is not only a more pleasant way of conducting business, but it's the most financially profitable way of wealth.    [08:26] The golden rule of business is that all things being equal people will do business with and refer business to those people they know, like, and trust. There's no faster, more powerful or more effective way to elicit those feelings toward you from others than by genuinely moving from an “I” focus to “other” focus. Make your win all about the other person's win.  [17:50] The great influencers asked themselves the question that has the other person in focus. How does it align with their goals, how does it help them solve the problem? No one is going to do business with you because you need the money; they're going to do business with you because they believe they're going to be better off by doing so and that it's in their best interest. [21:30] Most people want to talk to someone who listens to them and wants to solve their problems and help them. So, you have to listen, not just with your ear, but with your eyes, and with your posture, to listen with your full self is very powerful. It is also important that you totally understand what they mean by that answer because we all see the world through our own eyes and we define terms in different ways.   SUMMARY OF BUSINESSBurg Communications Inc.- Bob Burg shares how a subtle shift in focus is not only a more uplifting and fulfilling way of conducting business but the most financially profitable way, as well. For 30 years he's helped companies, sales leaders, and their teams to more effectively communicate their value, sell at higher prices with less resistance, and grow their businesses based on Endless Referrals.    ABOUT THE WESTSIDE INVESTORS NETWORK  The Westside Investors Network is your community for investing knowledge for growth.

Bob Burg shares how a subtle shift in focus is not only a more fulfilling way of conducting business but the most financially profitable way as well. For 30 years he's helped teams to more effectively communicate their value, sell at higher prices with less resistance, and grow their businesses based on endless referrals. The author of many books on sales, marketing and influence, his book The Go-Giver has sold almost 1 million copies. In the Go-Giver Series Bob explains that the amount of money one makes is directly proportional to how many people they serve.    When people ask Bob what he does, how does he like to reply? Why is it so hard for people to execute the Go Giver plan? Bob explains the sweet spot between a go giver and the go getter. Should we start with the mission for the company or the individual? At the age of 35 Bob realised he had some character traits that did not serve him. What were the traits? One trait Bob had to work on was gratitude. How does Bob do it today? How does Bob compartmentalise OCD in the middle of a keynote?  The baseball professional hitter is different to a hitter at bat. Why their identity is different. The greatest compliment the great Og Mandino could say to Bob as a man. Bob has sold almost a million copies of the Go Giver….why? What would Bob write as the 6th Law of Stratospheric Success?

Helping Yourself With Bob Burg Josh: So we've got Bob Burg here today, and he's an absolute legend in his field. He's changed the way that I do business, he's changed my life. He was one of the first self-help books that I read. And ultimately it's something that I always talk to, a massive influencer for me. And I talk to all my clients and make sure that they go and read, number one The Go-Giver. They need to jump into that, that changes the way you do business. So Bob, tell me a bit about The Go-Giver. Get more tips from Bob Burg at dorksdelivered.com.au  Watch this episode on Youtube: https://youtu.be/GS2jTHebvHA Bob Burg: Well it's a business parable. So it's a fictional story based on all tried and proven principles. And there's a lot of stories within the story that actually happen. But the actual work is a work of fiction. It's co-authored by John David Mann who's a fantastic storyteller and writer. I'm much more of a how-to guy. And it's a story of a guy named Joe who's a young up-and-coming, ambitious, aggressive salesperson. He's a good guy and he has good intent, but he's very frustrated because he hasn't reached the kind of success he believes he should have by this point. But he really comes to learn that the big problem, his focus is really on himself when it comes right down to it as opposed to others. And what he learns through the story, is that when you can shift your focus off of yourself and onto others. Being focused on creating or what we call getting exceptional value to everyone you meet, you realise that not only is that a more pleasant way of conducting business, it's actually the most financially profitable way as well. Josh: I have to say I completely agree. Having read your book, it would have been now, I couldn't even say how many years ago. It was many, many years ago I read. I started off with The Go-Giver and I thought, this is amazing. Jumped onto The Go-Giver Leader, jumped onto Sell me More, and then Endless Referrals, and The Success Formula. I nearly have the library. Bob Burg: Wow, thank you. That's a great compliment. Josh: I can say your teachings are amazing. And the way that that was done in The Go-Giver was a very light, easy read in my opinion. It related to lots of people and it wasn't something that you... You pick it up and you just wanted to read, you didn't want to put it down. It wasn't something that was hard to read. Bob Burg: And that goes to John, that's his writing skills. Josh: It helped. And especially in my naivety when I was first starting out in business, being able to read something like that and go, okay this sounds good. And knowing that there is good ways and great ways to do business, as opposed to the ruthless cutthroat methods that seem to be fictionalised in movies. Bob Burg: Yeah. And I think that's one of the reasons there was appeal for the book, for the message. Because most human beings, they want to feel like they're making a positive difference in people's lives. And so I think what the book said is basically, yeah you can do business that way. Not only is it can you focus on bringing value to others, and not only is it going to have you feel good about yourself, not only are you going to make money doing that, but that's actually the more effective way of doing it than focusing on yourself. Because you think about this, and I often will say this in a joking manner when I speak at a sales conference. One of the first things I'll say is, "Nobody's going to buy from you because you have a quota to me." Josh: Yeah, exactly. Bob Burg: Right? They're not going to buy from you, right and we all laugh because we all know that's true. No one's going to buy from us because we need the sale, right? They're not going to buy from you because you need the money. And they're not even going to buy from you because you're a nice person. They're going to buy from you because they believe that they will be better off by doing so than by not doing so. And that's perfect, it's the only reason why anyone should buy from you, or from me, or from anyone else. And the neat thing about that is what it does is it makes it so that sales person or entrepreneur who can place their focus on that other person, placing that other person's interest first, doing what's in the best interest of that other person and being able to communicate that. That's the person who's going to be more successful both in the short-term and the longer sustainable term. Josh: Well I can say, the proof is in the pudding and I've made my business on the pudding that you gave me. Bob Burg: Oh, okay. Josh: So yeah, it worked out really well. And as you said, it should be straight-forward but it just doesn't seem to come by nature. And I know, I myself I'm very technical. My background's technical, my skill set's technical and I was the technician that decided I've got something better to give to the world. And excuse the French, but scared shitless when it came to trying to sell or talk to people about it. And your books described it perfectly, don't sell. Just show people what you've got to offer- Bob Burg: Well, here's what it is. It's not that you're not selling, but we define selling differently right? Josh: Yeah, exactly. Bob Burg: Because when you think about it a lot of people say, well what's selling? Selling is trying to convince someone to buy something they don't want or need. Well that's not selling, that's called being a thief. So what is selling? Well selling, by definition selling is simply discovering what that other person does want, does need, does desire and helping them to get it. The Old English root of the word sell was sellan, which literally meant to give. So, when you're selling you're literally giving. No, someone might say, well wait a second isn't that semantics? And I say, well I don't think so and here's why. Let's say you have a prospective customer in front of you and they want to know why. Why they should do business with you, why you're the solution to their problem, why that... Well, so you're in a sales situation, you are selling. So my question would be, when you're selling what are you giving? I suggest you're giving that person time, attention, counsel, education, empathy and ultimately extreme value. So when we look at selling that way, now we see that it's really something good that we're doing. Josh: You're helping everyone ultimately, unless you're being a thief as you said. Bob Burg: Oh yeah, sure. And that's not selling, that's being a thief. Josh: That's right. As long as you've got a good product, a good mindset, and you believe in what you're doing, and what you're selling, and what your message is I find that your customers become your best salespeople. Bob Burg: Oh, absolutely. They become your personal walking ambassadors. Josh: Correct, yeah. And it's an amazing concept, so anyone that hasn't read The Go-Giver definitely needs to jump into it. It's a must-read, it needs to sit on there on the shelf as one of the first books that you read next to E-Myth and other classics. And in fact when I first met my partner Sarah, she'd started a first business as the first set of... Backstory, met her on Tinder. I would have rather met her in a nicer way, but we live in the age that we live in. So, met her on Tinder, and the first time we caught up together she had her folder there and I caught up with her. She didn't know if it was a business meeting or a date. And I was talking to her about different ways that she could better her business. And if I don't say so myself, quite the gentleman opening the door and so on and so forth for her. And I said one of the first things you need to do is read The Go-Getter, and this copy that I've actually got here now that we've been together for a while is signed by me saying, To all your success, Love Josh. Bob Burg: That's great. Josh: So this is actually the book that I had for myself and I gifted to her. And it's come straight back, although that sounds a bit corny it's exactly the message that you're giving, you give, and it comes back to you. And it comes back to you in... I gave her a book and I got a life partner. How good's that? So it comes back to you significantly more than what you give out. Bob Burg: Well that's awesome. And I never thought of my book going along on a Tinder date, or business opportunity or what have you but I'm glad it did. Josh: So here you are. You're obviously an invite to the wedding. Bob Burg: Definitely, exactly. Josh: Yeah, just a little thank you on that one. And the opportunities don't stop when you turn off your sales cap. It's always on if you're passionate about it good things always come your way. Bob Burg: Yep. Josh: So tell me about what happens after the book, when someone's read the book what's the next steps they can do to find out how to better themselves and adventure onwards past he one-way literature. Bob Burg: Well application is always really key. And that's why in the story itself Pindar, the main mentor told Joe there was really only one condition for his mentorship. And that is that he applied those laws. Every day, that every time he learned a new law he would apply the law that day. It didn't have to be done perfectly and it wasn't a matter of figuring out exactly why or why it wouldn't work or what have you. Just do the thing, right? Just take action on it. And so we find the feedback that we received from a lot of people, bless you, a lot of people do that. A lot of people will take one law and say, okay how do I apply this? How do I do this? And then they'll work on that. I always think that's a great way to start. So you ask yourself, how do I bring value to another human being? And when you think about it we have to really understand what value is, what it means. A lot of times I think people maybe confuse price and value, and those are actually two different terms. For example the law of value says your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment. But you think about it, that sounds like a recipe for bankruptcy. Give more in value than I take in payment, aren't I going to go out of business? And so we simply have to understand the difference between price and value. So what we know is that price is a dollar amount, it's a dollar figure, it's finite. It simply is wat it is, it's the price. Value on the other hand is the relative worth or desirability of a thing, of something to the end user or beholder. In other words, what is it about this thing, this product, this service, this concept, this idea that bring with it so much worth or value to another human being that they will willingly exchange their money for this. And be glad, be ecstatic that they did while you make a very healthy profit. And so when you automate for example somebody's business, and do this in a way that... What's the value you're providing? You're saving them time, you're saving them energy, you're saving them from making needless mistakes, you're making it so that they're going to make more money in their business. So I guarantee you that whatever it is you charge that person, they're getting much more in value than what they're paying. But you're making a very healthy profit because obviously with your cost of goods sold, and rent and everything else you're selling the service for much, much more than what you're having to pay to support it. And that's why in a market-based economy with every sale there should be two profits. The buyer profits and the seller profits because each of them come away better off afterwards than they were beforehand. So, that's the law of value. It's not a matter of, some people might think The Go-Giver, does that mean you're giving away your products or services? No. Does it mean you're not making a profit? Of course not. As a Go-Giver you're going to make a much higher profit because your focus is going to be on the value, the experience, everything you proved that other person, right? Not low-price, when you sell them low-price you're a commodity. When you sell on high-value you're a resource. Josh: Well that's it. Too many people, there's a podcast we did a few weeks ago on apples versus oranges, how could they possible be the same price? When people are comparing apples with apples, and as soon as you are comparing apples with apples you commoditize your business, and then the only thing you can fight on is price. And that's where you need to be able to bring that value, bring that change. So you've got value, price and cost. Bob Burg: Yeah. And here's the thing. So when you look at the price, and I think the cost is pretty self-explanatory. The price is self-explanatory, right? But when we talk about value, that can be both concrete in terms of when someone saves a certain amount of money, when you help someone make a certain amount that's fine. But there's so much more to the experience itself even, that's conceptual in nature. But here's what we've got to really understand, that value is always in the eyes of the beholder. Josh: Yes. Bob Burg: So what that other person feels is valuable about your product, or service, or doing business with you or what have you. Not what you think is of value, or what you think they should think is of value. It's about what they do. So if we're going to say to somebody, okay so how do you practise the law of value, right? Well the first thing you do is ask questions, and make sure you discover what other people find to be of value and then you go from there. Because it's not a matter of just doing things that you think are of value to others, that's fine. But what you feel is of value may not be what they feel is. Josh: Right. And then there's this disparity between your service offerings not being seen as valuable. Bob Burg: Stand-by, right? Josh: Yeah. So it's a very valuable lesson. And I know that you're big on authority building and influence, and I think that is something that could bring out a lot of value to people. Something that can show people your worth in mass without having to necessarily having to spend time as a commodity. You're able to put a resource in front of people or it's able to come about in front of them where they can see the things that can benefit their business and benefit their life. How would you go about starting off becoming an influencer? Bob Burg: So I think it's always a good thing, I'm always a big believer in defining terms so that we're all facing the same direction. So when you think about what influence even is, on a very basic level influence can be defined as simply the ability to move a person or persons to a desired action, usually within the context of a specific goal. So by definitely that's [inaudible 00:24:47]. Now that's the definitely, but I don't believe that's the essence of influence. The essence of influence is pull. Pull as opposed to push, as in the saying how far can you push a rook? And the answer's not very, at least not very fast or very effectively. Which is why great influencers don't push, right? You never hear people saying, wow that Tom or that Nancy, she is so influential. She has a lot of push with people. No, she's influential she has a lot of pull with people. That's what influence is. It's pull, it's an attraction. Great influencers first attract people to themselves, and only then to their idea. So how do we do that? So the law of influence says, in the book the law of influence says your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people's interests first. Well what does that mean? We're not talking about being self-sacrificial, or being a martyr, or being a doormat. But no, here's what we mean. Like this person who utilises pull in order to influence. That person's always asking themselves questions such as, how does what I am asking this other person do, how does it align with their goals, their wants, their needs, their desires? How does what I want this other person to do, how does it align with their values? How am I making their life better? What is a problem of theirs I am helping them to solve. And see Josh, when we ask ourselves these questions thoughtfully, intelligently, genuinely, authentically, not as a way to manipulate another human being into doing our will, but as a way of building everyone in the process. Now we've come a lot closer to earning that person's commitment as opposed to trying to depend on some type of compliance which is push, right? That's pushing ourselves or pushing our will and so forth. Josh: So say you're a small business, you've just started out and you've got just yourself. You've just read The Go-Giver and you're thinking about how can you change your methodology from being a push. I'm sure you've seen some of the pyramid schemes that are out there that have generally more push than pull from a sales perspective and they're trying to get you to on sale certain products without mentioning brands and bits and pieces. There's lots of them out there and that's always a very push, and their sales training has all been very push. How would you change someone from a push mentality into a pull mentality? And how would you change around their processes to allow for that to come to fruition and be noticed by, either their existing customers that have come about probably through getting sick of saying no, and they've finally said yes. Or how would you then change the mentality of their customer base or do you think it would be a bit more of a situation where you'd refresh the customer base? Or I guess how would you change your mindset from the 1980s this is how I'm going to be pushing something onto someone, to the 2020s soon to be. How would you change their process? Bob Burg: So I would say regardless of the field, if it's sales there are certain people who do it through push, and the good ones, the sustainably successful ones do it through pull. The ones who do it through push, and have been successful, and have been successful for a long time. They have to continue repeating the process over, and over, and over again with new people all the time. It's exhausting, it's very, very dificult. You can do it but it's very dificult to build a sustainable business that way. The ones who do it through pull regardless of the business, regardless of the industry. These are the people who typically are able to really develop a wonderful referral base, and as you were mentioning earlier people who are out there singing your praises, right? What we call personal walking ambassadors. So I think it beginning with the initial conversation. And let's say you meet someone somewhere and you're at a business social function. And you just say hello, and you say your name, and they say their name. And you ask them what they do and they tell you what they do. And they're going to probably give you some elevator speech, right? I send high-end copying machines to business that need to blah, blah, blah, right? And so forth because that's what most people have been taught to do. So you want to listen respectfully when they do it, but then when they ask you what you do which they'll probably do. My suggestion is to rather than do some elevator speech, because remember right now when this person first meets you they really don't care about you, and don't care about what you do. They care about themselves. So my feeling is just say the name, say whatever your company is, whatever you do. I'm an accountant with so-and-so or whatever. But then you're going to go right back to asking that person questions about themselves and about their business. So I have questions I call feel good questions. And those are questions that are not salesy, they're not prospecty, they're not intrusive, they're not invasive. They just make this person feel genuinely good about themselves, about the situation, and about you. And remember when you're focusing on them you're taking the pressure off yourself. You don't have to be that person who has that clever pushy line and so forth. So the first feel good question that you could ask is simply, how did you get your start or how did you get started in the copying machine business? Or selling copying machines or what have you. Or you may say, how did you get your start in the office products profession? For a little bit more elegant. Whatever it is that person does, asking them how they got their start is a fantastic way to immediately communicate value to them. Because again, value is much more than just money. It's making the person feel important, feel good about themselves. And how many people ever ask this person how they got started in their business. I guarantee no one, their own family probably doesn't ask that person. And here's you who they just met, and you're asking them basically to tell you their story, and they're going to appreciate that. I would follow that up probably with another fielded question such as, what do you enjoy most about what you do? You'll probably segue into it by saying, wow you must have had some fascination experiences. What do you enjoy most about your work? Or what do you enjoy most about what you do? Again, it's a feel good question. There's no pressure attached to it. Now when you've begun to develop a little bit of a rapport with that person, I would then suggest asking what I call the one key question that will set you apart from practically everyone else that person has ever met, and that question sound something like this. Gary, how can I know if someone I'm speaking with is a good prospective customer for you? And think about what you've done when asking that question, right? Unlike other people who are just again trying to sell their product or service right away, what have you. You have actually said to this person, not in so many words, but what you've communicated is I want to help you. I want to add value to your life. I want to make your life better. Josh: You give something to them, yeah. Bob Burg: Yeah. And they're going to really appreciate that. Now, at the end of the conversation you've got their business card, you can follow up with a personalised hand-written note which is so much better than a text or an email. Even though those are always good, but after you first meet someone there's nothing like a personalised note or card to send hand-written just saying it was great meeting you. If I can ever refer business your way I certainly will. And you've not established a connection, you've now established a relationship with this person that you can then begin to build on however you do it. Whether it's by, then you connect with that person on social media. Whenever you can refer that person to someone else, or if you know that person has an interest in antiques and you find an article on antiques. And you print it out and you send it to them and say, hey I came across this and I remember you love antiques, thought you might find... All these things you're doing, you're just creating that relationship with that person. And this does not have to take a long time, it doesn't. And what happens is when you do this consistently, okay. And you do this over time with new people on an every day basis you start developing so many people within your new sphere of influence that you've always got someone who's at that point where it's ready for you to approach them about either doing business with them directly and/or referrals. Josh: What you're saying there you need to make sure that you are genuinely listening to people. You're not just hearing them, you need to be, lack of a better word, involved emotionally in what they're saying, and listening to what they're saying, and actually action from that information. You don't want to be just hearing them and then, oh yeah, yeah. Cool, cool. You like remote control racing. That's cool. Okay, moving on. You need to be ready and engaged to build that relationship if that's what's important. And ultimately in business it is the currency that is the most important, building relationships. All ships rise in high tide, especially relationships. Bob Burg: Yep, sure. Yeah. As we say, and several of the mentors told Joe in the story, the golden rule of business, of sales, of networking what have you is simply that all things being equal, people will do business with, and refer business to those people they know, like and trust. There's no faster, more powerful or more effective way to elicit these feelings towards you from others than by, and again as you said genuinely, right? Genuinely and authentically, and moving from that I focus, or me focus to that other focus where you're really looking to, as Sam one of the mentors advised Joe, make your win all about that other person's win. Josh: Yeah, 100%. It is all about the other person, and it should always be about the other person. And when people say... All the things that salesmen say. I'm not closing enough, it's all a numbers game. All this other stuff, there's always someone out there as you said that's ready to build a relationship, ready to be heard, and ready to have their story heard. And building those relationships when the time comes will come. If you're being a pushy person it's all about the numbers, and you're trying to change your three percent conversion to a five percent, or a five percent to a 10 percent when you're calling up. It's a yuckier game with a lot more negativity. It's a game that you have a lot of friction towards building the relationships, as opposed to genuinely building relationships. Bob Burg: Oh yeah, it always comes back to how you do it. If you're doing it with the, how do I serve this person? You're going to have a lot more success than if you were saying I'm going to talk at this person and try to get them to buy. Again, it's not that doing it the Go-Giver way is self-sacrificial. No. It's more practical doing it that way. Because again, are they more likely or less likely to buy from you when they can tell that you're focused on them as opposed to being focused on getting their money. Josh: And I've got to say that the solutions that you're putting in place, you've been listening to them. You understand their problems, you understand their stresses, you understand their pain points. You're able to then focus on that and make sure that you're removing those problems, not just explaining that moving to this solution is better for your business. You're hearing their problems and saying, well maybe this isn't better for your business. Bob Burg: Right. Josh: And that's fine as well. Bob Burg: Absolutely, when that happens that happens. Josh: If you've still got a perfect person there that you've been talking to, building a relationship with. They know the solutions that they offer, they know the things that it does, the things that it doesn't, the bells and whistles. And that then allows for them to then refer other businesses on when they see that there is a better fit for you, and they hear other people's problems. Bob Burg: That's right. Josh: And that's where you have your compounding effect of growth and it's really a beaut feeling. So I've been very excited. As I said, The Go-Getter changed my life. Changed the direction, and not just from a personal relationship perspective that I brought up earlier, much before that. So yeah, again thank you for that one. Bob Burg: My pleasure. Josh: I've read different books. There's one, I hope I'm not quoting the wrong name here. If I am I'll correct it with the title. I think it's called Sapiens, and it talks about how many relationships a single person can have in their life and build out from that. And they talk around the magic number of... That's weird. Bob Burg: That's Sapiens. Josh: That's the one. Bob Burg: Yeah. And he talked about the tribes back in the hunter-gatherer days were typically about 150. And that's the number, David Burkus writes about that too in his book. And yeah, I'm just trying to think of the person... Durham's or Dunham's, I can't think of what law it is. But it's that he's the person that came up and he documented that 150 per person. Josh: For anyone that's watching this, that wasn't staged there. You've got hundreds of books behind you, what are the chances the one on your desk- Bob Burg: Well the funny thing is, a good friend of mine had referred Sapiens to me about two years ago. And I always have so many books on the list to read, finally I was speaking in I think Colorado maybe a couple of weeks ago and I got that at the book store, I saw it at the book store. And I was looking for it, I was hoping to pick it up. And I started reading it and I really haven't been able to put it down. I'm about three quarters of the way through now, it's fascinating Josh: It's a fantastic book. With building relationships, and obviously all different businesses have... I guess you brought home exactly what I was bringing up in the book. And that's the rule of 150, maybe 200 people. And if you are in the business of selling items that... If you're in a business where you need to sell more items and not say a B2B business and profession industry like myself. If I have 50-70 businesses that I'm working with I'm happy as Larry, and I can comfortable have those 70 relationships. But if you're selling something that is a lower priced item you need to have a significantly higher ratio. Maybe it's 500 to 1 or something like that, and you still want to have those relationships built. And you want to have the authenticity with the relationships, but knowing that you can't necessarily have the closeness, and as they talk about the different circles of relationships that you have. You have your close intimate relationships and then it goes out from there. How do you make sure, how do you keep the authenticity? Would you suggest people using different databasing programmes to write down notes on people. To make sure if you don't talk to them for two years and then they come back to you and they said, Larry I really loved the talk that we had at the business conferencing meeting from two years ago that you can barely remember because there was too many beers flying around. And what would be the best method to make sure you are bing authentic. Would you say, Larry I'm glad we had a good chat but don't remember, what'd you say? As soon as you get home, as soon as you get back to the office write down what you remember about Larry and make sure that you can have a refresh? Bob Burg: Well I think the key with technology is to always use it to help with your authenticity, you know what I'm saying? So in other words it shouldn't be that it's about the technology, it's not. It's about the human relationship when you can utilise technology to do that. So I do want to write down what I talked about with someone and review it every so often because I do want to know, okay? But if something comes up where I happen to see that person or what have and they bring that up, and it's really not something that I do remember. No, again it depends on the contexts. Usually I'm going to say, you know what my gosh. I love you, love talking with you but I don't remember exactly what we talked about in that conversation. If you have that kind of relationship you can do that. But if it's going to hurt that person's feelings because that person maybe whatever. Well no, I'd probably just say, always love talking to you and that was great. Again, sometimes I think we go too overboard with being literal in some ways. You always want to be honest, but you also always want to be kind and tactful as well. So when technology can help you to authentically keep in touch with another person, absolutely. Totally we utilise that. Josh: Cool. That's perfect. So that's something that I know that myself, I write down as many things as I can remember about as many conversations that I had with people. And that could be whether or not they liked Chivas Regal or a dog named whatever the dogs name is. Bob Burg: Well then that's good. Because if they like Chivas Regal, and that might be something you mights end them sometimes on a special occasion. If their dog's name is Checkers and you want to be able to remember that their dog's name is Checkers when you speak. If you can remember it just because you remember it, that's great. I love animals so I tend to remember people's pets names. But that's not everybody, and there's other things about people I don't remember. And in that case you need that reminder. So no, I think all of that is great when it helps to further a relationship and it's authentic and genuine, of course. Utilise the technology. Josh: As I said, I think technology is perfect to be able to help people out. But as you said, do not overcome the personal touch. Don't use technology to be personal, use technology to get rid of the repetition. But use yourself and your power that you have, your voice that you use to build those personal relationships. Bob Burg: Exactly. Josh: And that's what it's about. The cavemen had different tools that they used to achieve their objectives. And the time has changed, the chairs we sit in are different, the offices have air con in them, but we use a different set of tools to achieve the same objectives which is awesome. Bob Burg: They're just tools, exactly. Josh: Well we're getting very close to the end here. I wanted to ask, is there any speaking events or things that you do either around the states, or within Australia or down under that are coming up anytime soon? Bob Burg: Typically at this point I travel a lot less than I used to. At 61, I just don't want to be travelling all over the place, so I limit my out of state engagements to about 20 a year now. And I try to now keep it within the states. And those are my corporate programmes that I do, but we also have public seminars that we do usually in Orlando because it's easier for people from Australia, and Singapore, and South Africa, and London and so forth to get there. And so we hold them in Orlando, which is really only a couple of hours drive for me up the road. But Orlando because it's Disney World it's easier for people to get into. So our next one is actually in late January, it's called Endless Referrals: The Go-Giver Way. We limit those to about 50 people, so it's over two days and it's very hands on. So those are the ones that will be the public ones that we'll be doing from now on. And I have so many great mates in Australia, and if I could beam myself there I would do that in a minute. But the long flight, I just don't travel well anymore, so. Josh: Well I've [crosstalk 00:46:15]. Bob Burg: I stay pretty close to home. Josh: It took me two weeks to get over the jet lag when I last entered The States. I know this is pretty bad, but give me your favourite Aussie accent. Your best Aussie accent. Bob Burg: Oh, let's see. Hey mate, lovely to see you. Love all my mates down there, and we'll have a good time no worries, no worries. Josh: That sound pretty good. I don't mind that, that's good. Bob Burg: We love Australians, we love our Aussie mates so it's always a neat thing, and it's always a joy to connect with any of my friends from the beautiful land down under. Josh: Well I had the opportunity to head over for three months last year so I was travelling all around the place. And I'd have to say it's like you're travelling to different countries with each state that you go to. Bob Burg: Oh, it's amazing I know. Josh: Where Australia is in my opinion more so not as diverse. You have parts that are definitely greener and parts that are more tropical, but overall the accent doesn't vary a whole bunch. The people mentality, that doesn't change a whole bunch. Except for obviously things such as you go into the middle of the city in New York, and you go to Sydney and there's the hustle and bustle. People aren't as friendly, but that's just the nature of the beast. And for anyone who does want to head to any of your opportunities that you've got either in-person or any of the content that you have, you've got the Go-Giver movement, is that right? Bob Burg: Yeah. General website is Burg B-U-R-G.com. The two day workshop is Endlessreferrals.com, and we also have Thegogiver.com. So we've got content all over the place there. Josh: We'll chuck some links down below, all the appropriate places depending on where this gets seen. You can jump across there and have a bit of a look. And I'd like to thank you for coming along and talking with me. And we've got this beautiful summer day in paradise here, that's why I thought I'd head outside. Is there anything else that you'd like to cover off on before we jump? Bob Burg: No, this has been a lot of fun, very enjoyable. And I wish everybody who is watching and listening, I just wish you a fantastic 2020, may it be your best year yet. Josh: Thank you very much Bob, and I appreciate you coming along. Bob Burg: Thank you.

Can a subtle shift in focus really make much of a difference in your business and your income? Today our expert guest is Bob Burg, and he says the answer to the above question is YES! Bob is a firm advocate, supporter, and defender of the Free Enterprise System; he believes that the amount of money one makes is directly proportional to how many people they serve. Bob is also the author of a number of books on marketing, sales, and influence, including co-authoring The Go-Giver. If you're not familiar, the basic premise of The Go-Giver is to shift the reader's focus from getting to giving. In this context, Giving means “constantly and consistently providing value to others,” whether that's in your personal or professional life. This isn't just a pleasant way to live life – it attracts success, and not just financial success. Success can be financial, physical, spiritual, mental, emotional, social, or relational… but when people are focused on giving value to others, they tend to be happier, healthier, wealthier, and successful in all of those ways that success can be measured.   The 5 (Somewhat Counter-Intuitive) Laws of Stratospheric Success In The Go-Giver, Bob and John David Mann write about the 5 Laws of Stratospheric Success. They found that ANY sustainably profitable business is using all of these five things: Value – Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payout. Compensation – Your income is determined by how many people you serve, and how well you serve them. Influence – Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place others' interests first. Authenticity – The most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself. Receptivity – The key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving; we both breathe and we breathe in.   How do you add value (without losing money)? Bob has found that there are 5 Elements of Value: Excellence – Both doing your core competency really well & how you make other people feel. “The single greatest people skill is a highly developed and authentic interest in the other person.” Consistency – “You are as you are, day in and day out.” Attention – Attention to detail, and attention to people as human beings. What are they saying, how are they feeling, and what are they not saying? Empathy – “Communicating empathy doesn't necessarily mean you know how they feel. It means you communicate that you understand they're feeling something, and this something is distressful to them, but you're there to help them through it.” It's possibly the most important skill, and it's a skill because not everyone is born with it but anyone can learn it. Appreciation – Notice the things that other people do or say that make a difference, big or small, and point them out. Don't just say thank you – mean it. When you can honestly communicate all of these five elements, you will attract an army of personal ambassadors who want to share your message.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway A mentor once told Bob, “If you want to make a lot of money in sales, don't have making money as your target – your target is serving others…. Never forget that the money is simply the reward for hitting the target; it's not the target itself. Your target is serving others.”   -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

Make More Profit by Giving More, with Bob Berg

All of us want to make more profit in our business. It’s at least a part of why we are in business. But the question arises, “What is the best way to make a profit?” Bob Berg says that the best way to make more profit is to give - to always ask how you can add more value to that person. In this conversation, Bob shares the concepts from his book, “The Go Giver” with me to clarify why the laws of giving are the best way to provide value to others and consequently, make maximum profit for yourself. It’s a great and insightful conversation, so be sure you take the time to listen. As human beings, we are wired to represent something greater than ourselves. The primary principle behind becoming a person who gives tremendous value to those who you connect with is that all of us as human beings are wired to contribute in ways that are larger than ourselves. That means we all want to give - we just don’t always know what that means or how to do it. Bob Burg shares how every person, every business leader needs to position themselves in ways that serve others with maximum value. Find out how to tweak your thinking to fulfill that end goal and discover the incredible things - like more profit - that come as a result. People will only buy from you because they are convinced they will benefit by doing so. It’s natural that people who wind up buying your product or paying for your service only do so because they believe they will benefit by doing so. Your job as a business owner or sales professional is to ensure that they see the benefits they will receive clearly, without exception. You do that by adding tremendous value to every interaction you have with them. You want them to associate you, your products, and your brand with generosity toward them. Bob Burg talks about how you can make that happen and increase profits at the same time, on this episode of Real Relationships. The amount of money you make is directly proportional to the number of people you serve. One of Bob Burg’s favorite maxims is this: The amount of money you make is directly proportional to the number of people you serve. What he’s saying is that service precedes profit - every time. People are naturally willing to pay for the things that benefit them the most, so every business person needs to stop focusing on the profit and instead focus on the value of what they provide to their customers and clients. Find ways to expand the value, to improve upon it, to give them even more - and you make more profit in the relationship - every time. The single greatest people skill is a highly developed interest in the other person. The Go-Giver mentality that Bob Burg is so famous for championing can sound a bit utilitarian to some at first listen. How is it not simply another form of self-serving behavior? Bob says that beneath a Go-Giver mentality is a fundamental concern for the people you encounter. You can’t expect to benefit from the interactions you have with people, even by applying the Go-Giver principles, if you are not genuinely interested in people. They can smell the hypocrisy right away and will be repelled by your Go-Giver attempts rather than drawn in by them. Find out how to best understand that distinction by listening to this conversation with Bob Burg.

This is an important replay of an episode from August, 2016. I think everyone should listen to this episode every YEAR, and read Bob's book ("The Go-Giver") every year too. "The Go-Giver" is a career-changing book for many professionals. In this episode, co-author Bob Burg talks about value, influence and changing the way you look at business. Bob starts with an overview of the 5 Laws of Stratospheric Success: Value, Compensation, Influence, Authenticity and Receptivity. Then Bob talks about INTRINSIC VALUE: the value that's built into your experience. These can also be broken into five parts: excellence, consistency, attention, empathy and appreciation. This is what you're giving people. Notice that Burg lists "consistency" as part of excellence.

Bob Burg on Being a Go-Giver To Provide Great Value For Huge Profits

Converge Podcast

Providing great value is something lots of people these days talk about, but few people really know what it means – or how to accomplish it. Today s guest is not one of those people. In fact, he s written the book on how to practically provide the kind of value to customers, clients, and prospective customers that motivates them to give you their money to get it from you. Bob Burg is a sought-after speaker at company leadership and sales conferences. He shares stage with everyone from today s business leaders and broadcast personalities to former U.S. Presidents. Bob is the author of a number of books on sales, marketing and influence, with total book sales of well over a million copies. And on this episode of Converge you re going to hear from the master teacher how focusing on the creation of great value for your customers will lead to great profits for you. When you focus on giving great value, great value comes back to you. It s not some hocus pocus to think that giving great value brings the same to you in return, it s just common sense. The free enterprise system is designed to make the most of that reality. When you provide something that is of high enough value that another is willing to pay you the amount of money you ask in order to get it, you both win. That s how sales should always work. Bob Burg shares how the Go-giver principles work in business today and how many people are changing the way their services and business profits work by applying them. You re going to get a lot of value from this conversation – and you wouldn t expect anything less from Bob, would you? You may need to rethink what selling really is. The concept may people have of sales as pushy or trying to convince you to buy something you don t really want or need, is all wrong. Bob Burg says so. His contention is that sales is supposed to be a win-win scenario for both parties involved. One party gets the thing they want or need and the other is generously compensated for providing it. On this episode Bob helps us hit the reset button on how we think about sales so that we can shift our focus to giving over the top service and experiences to our customers, which in turn cranks up the dial on the profits we are able to receive from them as compensation. If providing great value brings profit, how do you get more profit? The answer is simple: provide that same great value to more and more people. It s called scaling – arranging your business so that you re able to make your great product or service available to more people who want the value it provides. It s the intuitive and natural way to build your income on the back of generosity in serving your customers or clients, and it works every time. Bob Burg is an example of generosity as he walks us through the 5 laws contained in his new book, The Go Giver, and you can hear it on this episode of Converge. Once you know how to provide value, are you ready to receive it in return? The final law of success that Bob Burg outlines in his book, The Go Giver is the law of RECEPTIVITY. His premise is that if you are willing to provide value to your customers and/or clients, you have to understand that the natural outgrowth of that action is going to be that you receive a great deal of profit in return. Are you ready to jettison some old beliefs surrounding money and profit to receive the blessings that come from being so generous in the first place? It may sound strange to say but on this episode Bob walks through what it takes to learn how to receive as compensation for providing great value. Your life and business may never be the same once you learn to apply this principle. And that s not hype. Outline of this great episode [0:42] Dane s introduction of this episode with Bob Burg.

There are affiliate links in this post. I watched Evan Carmicheal's YouTube video called 7 Books Every Entrepreneur Must Read (click here to see the video).   This was one of the books on his list.  Bob Burg's and John David Mann's The Go-Giver.  I really thoroughly enjoyed this book. I love when lessons are told through a story format.   These are my biggest takeaways from this book, page numbers included. Joe drew a breath.   "So', he spoke this next thought slowly, thinking it out loud, "you're saying, people don't take advantage of you because you don't expect them to?   That because you don't put any focus on selfishness and greed, even when it's all around you, it doesn't have much impact on you?"   Then he had a flash of inspiration.   "Like a healthy immune system-the disease is all around you, but you don't catch it?' pg 14 "All things being equal-"  Ernesto finished the phrase:  '-people will do business with and refer business to those people they know, like and trust." pg 25 'Your life works the same way," she said.   'You just make it up.   Being broke and being rich are both decisions.   You make them up, right here."   She tapped her finger to her temple.   "Everything else is just how it plays out." pg 45 'Watch out for the other guy.   Watch out for his interests.   Watch his back.   Forget about fifty-fifty, son.   Fifty-fifty's a losing proposition.   The only winning proposition is one hundred percent.   Make your win about the other person, go after what he wants.   Forget win-win-focus on the other person's win.'  pg 63 'Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people's interests first.'  pg 63 "What I'm here to sell you on is you.   People, remember this: no matter what your training, no matter what your skills, no matter what area you're in, you are your most important commodity.   The most valuable gift you have to offer is you."  pg 87 "Receiving is the natural result of giving.   If you give and then try to stop the receiving that comes back, you're like King Canute watching the tide roll out and commanding it not to come back in."  pg 102-103 'Every giving can happen only because it is also a receiving..." pg 103 'So the secret to success,' Joe went on, 'to gaining it, to having it, is to give, give, give.   The secret to getting is giving.   And the secret to giving is making yourself open to receiving.' pg 105   In reading this book, I literally stopped a few times to simply think.   This material I will keep and look over and reference again in the future.   This book is a short read and well worth your time.
