Wealth Creator #3 Pay Forward

Posted in Wealth Creation Tips by Brian Sacks ·  

This post is a bit long but stay with me because there is a very important lesson you can profit from here. Both financially and spiritually. OK?

A few days ago I had to go back to the pharmacy to grab some more medicine for my mom ( see the last profit killer post for the details if you missed it.) It was pouring out and a generally gross day. I rushed in at the same time as another guy who had just parked next to me.

We both headed over to the pharmacy window but I went to the other end of the line not realizing that it was the pick up window.. not the drop off window.. DUH !!!!

By the time I realized it several other people jumped behind this guy. Once I saw what was happening I got behind the last person in line and was prepared to wait.

THE GUY IN FRONT SAW WHAT ….just happened and asked me if I wanted to go ahead of him since technically I really was supposed to be the first person in line. Even though I was in a hurry I told him “NO Rush. Go Ahead Thanks” 

The lady right in front of me with her daughter who appeared to be about 15 or 16. She turned around to her daughter and said “He Just paid forward.”

This poor kid had no idea what her mom was talking about. So I took some time while we were all waiting to give her a short explanation.

I EXPLAINED THAT … most people are just focused on themselves and their own issues. This area of town is particularly affluent and the people are pretty arrogant and rude. So what I did really stood out since it rarely happens.

I allowed the other guy to go first even though I was in a hurry and could have justified it. But I paid forward. I allowed a nice thing to happen and realized that somehow it will come back to me. I don’t know how? I don’t know when? I don’t know where?

THIS HAPPENS FOR GOOD AND BAD THINGS YOU DO…

Guess you first need to believe that whatever goes around comes around. GOOD AND BAD. I know it sounds all “foofy” and “new agesish” but It is true. Sort of like my favorite tv show right now which is “Earl”   watch it you’ll understand this whole idea better.

WHICH BRINGS ME TO YOU …. I know this all sounds good but how do you apply it. First you genuinely need to give without EVER expecting anything in return. NO ALTERIOR MOTIVES.

For example - I give to many worthwhile charities and I do so usually anonymously. I have given when I can least afford to. In fact my accountant tells me that I give a disproportinate amount of my income to charity and that it could trigger an IRS audit.

My response was” Who cares. First of all i DID give the money. Second and maybe more importantly I did NOT give it for a tax write off. I did it because I thought it was worthwhile to do.”

LET ME SHARE A FUNNY BUT TRUE STORY .. I love going to Atlantic City and while there I enjoy taking a walk on the boardwalk. It is often like a freak show of preformers and beggers. One night a beggar came up to my wife and I with a sign.

It said that he was deaf and wanted some money. I gave him a dollar and my wife, who is trained in working with deaf and blind people started signing to him. He clearly had no idea what to do so he just turned around and left. 

MY WIFE SCREAMED AT ME AND CALLED ME A … a big sucker. She’s right. He was clearly faking but my feeling has always been if I gave out 10  one dollar bills to 10 different beggars and was right just one time , to a person who really needed it than I was happy.

We walked a little further down the boardwalk and saw a guy on a stretcher , no arms or legs , with a bucket on his stretcher. I asked my wife “think he’s faking too?” To which she just snickered at me and pushed me.. BTW… I gave him a $10.

SO WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN TO YOU?? AND HOW CAN YOU PROFIT FROM IT?

FIRST- Do good deeds and you will be rewarded.. somehow … some where… This is actually one of the PHENOMENON(tm) TRIGGERS ( info at www.brian.in12months.com)

SECOND- You must genuinely care about your prospects and customers or you WILL NOT succeed. One of the reasons I created profit and wealth and give away 2 must have classics and write these posts is so you will be exposed to ideas that work and will profit from them.

If all you are trying to do is make a fast buck you will NOT last long and most likely will not keep that money you do make very long. Look at most industries and fads and you will find people who get in for a quick buck, not to help anyone and not because they even care if what they are selling works or not…

YEAH YEAH @ I KNOW WE ARE ALL capitalists and all that buyer beware stuff. But look around. If you are a Realtor or Loan Officer than you have just seen all the get rich quick people leave and all the serious career minded people who do care stick around.

Start paying forward with charity and information. BIG IDEA- make all of your marketing pieces useful and helpful not just sales pitches. Make your inperson or phone appointments all about helping your customers and giving good , useful, information and you will quickly see your profits jump.

YOU CAN”T FAKE IT ! most people have great BS detectors. Be real. BE Genuine. ReallY Care and make sure that you are paying forward.

    Brian, your words is so true, we all have the concept being a good sales person is; just say what you have to offer and close the sale, this is wrong, many times they wont even pay attention, if you speak to some one review his issues, problems, concerns, and then see how he can be helped, NOW the sale will close.

    Thnaks Brian for Sharing.
