Bob Burg and John David Mann’s book The Go-Giver A Little Story About a Powerful Business Idea has been a spark in my life and has very quickly become a central theme.  I see it as much more than a business idea.  It is indeed a way to live and a way to be. This blog, my first attempt at such thing, is an effort to document my journey down the path of becoming a “Go-Giver.”

Obviously reading the book will help readers of this blog understand the idea but as an introduction let me share The Go-Givers Five Laws of Stratospheric Success:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. THE LAW OF VALUE&lt;br /&gt;Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. THE LAW OF COMPENSATION&lt;br /&gt;Your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. THE LAW OF INFLUENCE&lt;br /&gt;Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people’s interests first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. THE LAW OF AUTHENTICITY&lt;br /&gt;The more valuable gift you have to offer is yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. THE LAW OF RECEPTIVITY&lt;br /&gt;The key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am certain that I will be able to share many success, as I have already begun to experience them.  I will also try to honestly share the less than successful times when I do not live up to any law of success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a few people who are experts at using these laws within a business environment and I am not one of them.  As noted above, my purpose here is to document my personal journey and share it with those who are interested.  If you are searching for a teacher, a coach, a mentor etc I suggest contacting the Authors, or possibly some of the people I meet along the way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for reading and I hope you find some enjoyment in my ramblings.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/456466535199950800-8208031499676417032?l=givingexperiment.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://givingexperiment.blogspot.com/feeds/8208031499676417032/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://givingexperiment.blogspot.com/2009/01/basis-of-giving-experiment.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/456466535199950800/posts/default/8208031499676417032'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/456466535199950800/posts/default/8208031499676417032'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://givingexperiment.blogspot.com/2009/01/basis-of-giving-experiment.html' title='Basis Of the Giving Experiment'/><author><name>Jason R.
