The Law of Receptivity

“The key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving”

Here is my last review on “The Go-Giver”. I have fallen so far behind on my blogging this last week as we are trying to get our website updated and all that fun stuff. We have a temporary new site up, but, that will change in the next 1-2 months to our new upgraded site. We are really excited about it!!!

Well, were to begin? This one is a hard one for everyone. As stated in the book we have all learned “It is better to give then receive.” Which is true but we also have to be open to receiving. How many times has someone tried to bless you or even give you advice and you were unwilling to take it? I know I am guilty!!! How can others be Go-Givers if we don’t let them give? This kind of reminds me of the Pay it Forward effect. I am still digesting how to implement this as I am one of those that loves to give but has a hard time receiving. I have learned over the years how to take constructive criticism. (but, still struggle with it a little. I mean who doesn’t?) I am also getting better at accepting gifts that are given for now reason. For example, I have a great friend that is always wanting to bless me and sometimes it is hard as I don’t have anything to give back. (at least this is how I feel at times) She hired someone to come clean my house and then paid for me to get my hair done by an amazing hair stylist. Man was it hard to be humble and accept it. But, then I realized God wants us to be blessed in every area of our life. Not just our business, but, our person well being also.

I think I have give the best examples of how we have implemented this book into our lives and would love to hear stories of others that have been blessed by  “The Go-Giver”. I have been so blessed reading this book and I have Go Givers Sell More waiting for me to read next. I must say this is our busiest season and I fall behind on my reading this time of year. But, I will never forget one of the photographer mentors I follow once said “in order to grow your business you need to read at least one book a week if you want to grow” So with that being said I just inspired myself to read it. I am not sure if I will have reviews on it yet as I haven’t even started reading it. But, I am sure I will get something great out of it!
