This is the most valuable contribution our Institute can receive.
If you have hard-earned lessons or turning points in the life of your company or career, this is where we capture them.

In business, they say there are two types of best practices; those we learn from others, and those we learn the hard way.
It doesn’t need to be polished. It just needs to be real.

Jake Ray, Jake Ray Retirement Strategies, Alpine, UT

Jake adds his insights to Rule No. 48 đź“” Give more than you take.
“Give more than you take” is something I really try to live by, not just in business.
One of the things I took from The Go-Giver is that not every conversation has to lead to a sale. Sometimes you can answer a question, make an introduction, share something you’ve learned, or simply point someone in the right direction.
I genuinely enjoy helping people, even when there’s nothing in it for me.
My belief is pretty simple: take care of people, provide more value than you expect in return, and trust that good things tend to come back around. —Jake Ray
