Serve First, Then Be Served

January 18, 2021 by Danny Miranda

An incredible thing happens when you begin to put other people first: other people put you first.

Two examples:

  1. Rob Lawless began his mission on November 11, 2015 to make 10,000 friends. He wanted to get to know new people for no reason. He’s currently made 4,000+ friends and has been featured on The Today Show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, and CBS.
  1. Gerard Dawson sent over 1,000 cold emails trying to sell his services. Lots of rejection followed. But when he started serving their interests – by asking if they wanted to be on his podcast – they accepted the request (and many became clients).

The principle of business, relationships, and life is simple:

Serve first, then be served.
