January 6, 2009

From:  Burg, B., & Mann, J.D. (2007).  The go-giver: a little story about a powerful business idea.  New York: The Penguin Group.

1. The Law of Value - your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment.
2. The Law of Compensation - your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them.
3. The Law of Influence - your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people's interests first.
4. The Law of Authenticity - the most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself.

5. The Law of Receptivity - the key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving (Burg & Mann, 2007, p. 129).
