The Go-Giver, Expanded Edition: A Little Story About a Powerful Business Idea

Then again, most people are nowhere near as successful as they wish they were.”  The Go-Giver tells the story of an ambitious young man named Joe who yearns for success. Joe is a true go-getter, though sometimes he feels as if the harder and faster he works, the further away his goals seem to be.   Over the next week, Pindar introduces Joe to a series of “go-givers”: a restaurateur, a CEO, a financial adviser, a real estate broker, and the “Connector” who brought them all together.   This expanded edition includes the text of the original business parable, together with a foreword by Arianna Huffington, a new intro­duction, a discussion guide, and a Q&A with the authors.. Pindar’s friends teach Joe the Five Laws of Stratospheric Success and help him open himself up to the power of giving.   Joe learns that changing his focus from getting to giving—putting others’ interests first and continually adding value to their lives—ultimately leads to unexpected returns.   Imparted with wit and grace, The Go-Giver is a classic bestseller that brings to life the old proverb “Give and you shall receive.”   Nearly a decade since its original publication, the term “go-giver” has become shorthand for a defining set of values embraced by hundreds of thousands of people around the world. Desperate to land a key sale at the end of a bad quarter, he see

Rather than help Joe snag a fast sale, the consultant introduces him to series of "go-givers" who personify the "Five Laws of Stratospheric Success." Over the course of five days, a restaurateur, a CEO, a financial advisor, a real-estate broker and the mysterious "Connector" teach Joe about the laws of value, compensation, influence, authenticity and receptivity-concepts that make more immediate sense in this fictional context than they would in a formal business book. . Burg (Endless Referrals: Network Your Everyday Contacts Into Sales) and Mann (You Call the Shots) write with a simple, informal style that offers a working-person's interpretation of the old adage "give, and you shall receive."

Finally someone Saying what our intuition has always told us about business A G The concepts explained in this book should be mandatory reading in all the schools in the country. They apply to business but also in all that we do in our personal lives. If we all started to give and to cooperate, to collaborate extensively, and to put the others before us, all would change for the good. I would encourage everyone to give these theories a try and get back to the authors of the book with sensitive evidence of the results. Thank you, Bob!!!. "Great message & a great gift" according to Martha G.. I'd first read the Go-Giver a few years ago and loved it. The ideas about contributing value and being other-oriented on your path to business and life satisfaction and success struck a chord.Such an easy book to read, I finished it on a trip and handed it over to my travel companion with the suggestion: Read this on the way home! She paid that gift forward almost immediately by passing it along to her sister and then I lost track of the journey of that little shared book.Over the years I've purchased copies for people several times a. I absolutely love this book because it made me feel like I Vickie Gunnells-Hodge I absolutely love this book because it made me feel like I was not alone in thinking this exact same way! In life, especially as people move past the will to treat people as human beings, and on to entering into career success or entrepreneurship with their agendas; there is a tendency to hurry up and do everything without staying true to self or granting self the power affiliated with having a plan with a willingness to deviate. This book made my heart happy because it relays so many of the principles taught about honoring self and o
