The Law Of Authenticity

The fourth Law of Stratospheric Success for the book The Go-Giver is The Law of Authenticity.

“The most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself.”

The Go-Giver

Often in the world we see other people that we would like to be, people we envy or look up to. Often people use social media to present a better version of themselves, a more collated life. This has a lot to do with self esteem and comparing our lives with the lives that others present on social media that seem so much better than our lives because people only share the best bits.

The irony is that when we are more authentically ourselves we are the more likely to be successful. This is because when we live and act authentically we focus on what brings us joy and what we are naturally good at. When we are joyful and doing what we are naturally good at we thrive and achieve great things. People will also trust us more because we are being ourselves all the time. Trust is a big element of success, because we cannot be successful alone. And your authentic You is a gift to the world that you should not hide your awesomeness.

The Law Of Value

The first Law of Stratospheric Success for the book The Go-Giver is The Law of Value

“Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment.”

The Go-Giver

When we go to work we often think in terms of being paid for our time and effort. We go to work and do what we are asked to do and do so for a set period of time and then come home again. Then we get paid. If we only work for the money and long for the weekend then it can be hard to create any value or get any fulfilment.

When we focus on adding value through human connections rather than transactions we find our work more fulfilling. Also, the more value we give the more work we get. People like being treated like people, rather than a way for us to make money. Go above and beyond and you will feel good and good things will come your way.
