Stingy People Defeat themselves

Those that are generous with the value that they have, are, and will, end up benefiting in the long run. Beyonce gave herself completely to her craft, she has a serious work ethic. This singers dedication has allowed her the opportunity to break the status quo many times over. She can do what she wants, and put out and 17 video album online, and go direct to her fans. She can also surprise her fans while they are shopping, and give everybody $100 gift cards. These things are all part of guerilla marketing, they are strategic investments that cost less than traditional advertising, but get the job done, from a grass roots level. This same surprise album, with unconventional marketing, ends up bringing in over a million album sales. It is doing significantly better than her last album. You cannot do that and get the benefits, unless you can back it up with excellent work.

Her talent opened many doors for her because she did not decide to hold back on the gift she had to offer the world. In other words, your gift is not for you. The evidence of it is proof that you have something to offer and of service to others. The thing with talent is, it can only get you so far. Do you want to end up in the company of inspiring people of nobility, status, power, influencers? Give yourself completely to your craft, your skill, your area of expertise, to serving your market. Beyonce was invited to the White House for the celebration of Barack Obamas Inauguration. This is no coincidence if you are giving your all to what you do. If you are devoted to excellence and putting in meticulous effort and time, you will be surprised by those that are attracted to you. Be so good that they cannot ignore you -Steve Martin This famous quote speaks volumes. One thing that you can always observe is that an average person with heart, smarts and generosity will out-perform a hugely talented and lazy person. A person that is wise, liberal and generous with their resources, time, ability and knowledge is likely to excel in business and life.
