(deep breath)
Let's go.
This is a very powerful idea. At least I think so.
The first time I heard this point being made, I was like "Wow",
very interesting.
"Mike, tell me right now what it is."
Amigo, relax. Hold on.
We'll get there.
First.
Understand that in my opinion the fastest way to fail is to live
SELFISHLY.
Selfish entrepreneurs have SMALL HOUSES and SMALL INCOMES.
Value that you have, that you don't share, really doesn't exist.
(read this again)
Onward.
Real success is about service. It is.
I didn't make this up. For thousands of years, smart people have
been trying to tell us this. Few listen though.
Let's get to the powerful point that I mentioned above.
Question.
How much SPACE do you take up in the world?
"Mike, what?"
I'll ask it again.
How much SPACE do you take up in the world?
Let me quote the great Andrew Carnegie, Napoleon's Hill's
sponsor.
"Whether a person occupies the position of employer or employee,
the space he occupies in the world is measured precisely by the
quality and the quantity of the service he renders, plus the
mental attitude in which he relates himself to other people."
Powerful.
And there's more.
This is what Napoleon Hill added on this same topic.
"And let it be also remembered that the space one occupies in
the hearts of his fellowman is determined precisely by the
service he renders through some form of sharing his blessings."
He also says, "He who has not learned the blessed art of sharing
has not learned the true path of happiness, for happiness comes
only by sharing."
2 questions.
How much space do you take up in the world today?
How much space do you desire to take up 12 months from today?
Stop rushing. Stop expecting riches by Friday. Change your mind.
Yes, change your mind. Serve. Share. Profit. (Repeat.)
Think about giving, getting will follow.
Oprah, Gates, Spielberg, Tiger. Look at the space they occupy.
YOUR best days are ahead of you. They certainly are.
Love Ya! You're The Best!
Your Coach,
Michael
Mike,
All I can say is... WOW! What a great message!
It is very difficult, for most, to accept the fact that service to others has to come before the reward.
Most people tune in WIIFM (What's in it for me), and the truth be told, when you focus your efforts on the giving, the getting will take care of itself.
As Always, Here's to Your LifetoSuccess,

Mike,
Serve. Share. Profit. put the focus on others rather than self. It has the power to "upgrade" the level of confidence and passion as well. Patience to follow the process and trust the results will come becomes activated only in serving.
Thanks for sharing and doing what you do.
Love you,

Hey Mike ~ you always have a way of sending timely messages... like this one. How true indeed - providing service and value is a wonderful barometer for many things - including: happiness, wealth, friends, good health, and so much more.
Having spent the last few weeks traveling on vacation and experiencing amazing adventures, your message brings it home for me that NOW is the time!
My video series with myself and Joe Rubino has just been edited, and I am about to bring out to the world... Accelerator for Success using DREAM BAR CAFE Principles.
Keep on inspiring my friend!

Hey mike great quotes !! I remember Orison Swett Marden said something similiar as well.
Thanks for sharing !!4
Right on! The greatest man who ever walked the face of the earth said,"There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving."
Just don't make the mistake of looking up to the rich and famous because they give away a lot of money. The giving that matters most is of oneself, one's time, without fanfare, and not just from one's surplus material resources.
Hi Mike
Great message - 2 things I took from it:
1. Change your mind (I like the phrase "Change your thinking, Change your World")
2. Think about giving and getting will follow
Profound as usual
Thanks for doing what you do

This is all theoretical, in real life I've never seen anyone who applies these ideas. This is a fairy tale. There are millions of self help author's out there who have positive message to share, but then why is there so much corruption and suffering in this world?
What I understand is, self help stuff is like a personal whore, we enjoy it secretly at our pleasure but when we go out, we are all the same - When it's a question of money, everybody is of the same religion, which is self-interest! amen!
and and --- think about giving and getting will follow. Tell that to trump, haha.
did you get the message I just sent w/o entering the characters. The characters should be first, I can't be the first who wrote and submitted then saw the letters.
Brilliant Mike I agree. Most people are so selfish that they think if they give something away they are losing out. My offering a quality service people spread your name and are happy to pay for whatever you offer as they have developed trust. H Aitoro the inspirational coach has given away his 500 page course how to get up, stay up, and excel because he believes in truly helping others first and worrying about the money afterwards. I downloaded his stuff recently at http://www.real-success-secrets.com he sounds similar to the stuff Mike says!
Great message Mike!
Just what I needed!
Hey Mike, it is the old proverb of you reap what you sow.Your own personal beilive system sould contain, I am in charge of my attitudue, and if I worry about what I do not have, I will never have enough.Rather I dwell on what I Give, than I will have more than enough.Have a great day, a better tomorrow and a wonerful week---Joel Court aka Mr. Enshusiam
Mike, always true! Service to others is equivalent to loving your neighbor which is the golden rule given to us by God himself.
"Value that you have, that you don’t share, really doesn’t exist." Therefore how much space do we occupy?
Mike you really got thinking here and so also those I share this message with. I repeat this saying to myself first every morning during my meditation hour and also to my colleagues every day at work. I have started seeing the impact of that saying in my life and the lives of some of my colleagues. Thankyou!
