What is the mindset of mutual benefits in business transactions?
Answer #
It took me a long time to figure this out.
This is out of Chapter 12 of the new book:
We operate from a mindset of mutual benefits.
For us to receive our good, we must help others receive theirs.
People using the Creative Method of Wealth Generation are adding to, increasing, and expanding the flow of life.
This does not mean we overpay for products and services.
It does not mean we don’t negotiate.
However, we provide more than we are paid for.
We will cover this in greater depth in a later chapter, but it is critical that you begin to embody it now.
Both Napoleon Hill and Wallace Wattles talk about this concept.
Hill states in Think and Grow Rich, “The man who does more than he is paid for will soon be paid for more than he does.” Wattles says it this way in The Science of Getting Rich, “Give every man more in use value than you take from him in cash value; then you are adding to the life of the world by every business transaction.”
I read this in the mid-1980s as I was learning about business and how to create wealth.
I took it to heart, and it has been a guiding principle and value I have attempted to use in my business life.
For those of you who have worked with me in the past, I hope that was your experience of our time together.
It has served me well.
