selflessness

How Selfish Should You be in Business? The answer is not what you think, it depends where you’re at in your business journey. In the beginning, you need to more selfish and self-centred but to grow you need to be more selfless and focus on value, service, contribution and fair-exchange. In today’s insightful episode Rob shares with you his views on being fulfilled in business, being selfish to reach your goals, the growth in being selfless and finding a balance between the two. Jump in now to learn more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When you’re younger you’re probably more selfish and self-centred, but that’s okay. That’s the stage of life that you’re at. Your goals when you’re younger are more selfish and focused on yourself. However, you get to a point in business that you realise that if you only focus on your selfish goals, your company will not grow any more and you have to focus on value, service, contribution and fair-exchange.
• To begin in business you need to be selfish to get the thing going and get out of debt. But there does come a point where all people care about is how you can help them. If you want to create worth for the world, you need to have inner, strong self-worth.
• If your self-care is low and you’re not giving enough, you will resent your customers if you’re not earning enough income or receiving enough gratitude.
• Too self-less you’ll come from a place of emptiness, your self-worth will go down and you’ll come from a place of bitterness, resentment and envy and you’ll be caught in a vicious cycle.
• Too selfish and you’re not focused on value, service and contribution and the world will start to reject you. There will be service complaints, refund requests and you’ll start to get critics, trolls and hatters if you are too selfish.
• No one cares if you’re a billionaire if you’re not helping to change the world. Therefore you need to make your vision and mission self-less by helping others and you’ll be fulfilled
• The secret to business is value and what you give the world. Be selfless, give your time, mentorship and help and support.
• Give but not at the expense of you. Compartmentalise your diary to spent two to three hours a day I ringfence for contribution or value. This can be in the form of social media, consultancy calls, emails and anything you’re doing to help the world, without charging a fee for your services. Find the optimum time for contribution, charity and support and the optimum time for earning money, running your business and growing your audience.
• You should be equally balanced between selfish and selfless and more selfish in the beginning to fulfil your own needs to start your business and more self-less once you’ve become a little bit more successful.

BEST MOMENTS

• “The secret to living is giving”
• “You cannot give what you do not have”
• “I found out in my thirties that there was more to life than just fulfilling my personal goals”
• “You cannot give from an empty cup”
• “Sometimes the best way to help others is to help yourself first”
• “If you’re already making lots of money but you’re unfulfilled it’s because you’re not giving enough”

Today we'll discuss the Left's cartoonish demonization of "the rich." And we'll also talk about the Right's response to that demonization, which is to present a sometimes equally cartoonish narrative about the free market. Somewhere in the midst of all of this oversimplification is the truth. Also, speaking of cartoonish ideas, a gay media outlet has dubbed a male trans MMA fighter "the bravest athlete in history" for beating up a bunch of women.

Do you ever feel like you're spinning your existential wheels in life? That outwardly, you seem to be doing ok, but inwardly, you feel kind of empty?

My guest today would say that you've got to move on from trekking up life's first mountain, to begin a journey up its second. His name is David Brooks and he’s the author of The Second Mountain: The Quest for a Moral Life. In that book, David makes the case that there are two mountains that we climb in life: The first is about the self -- getting a college degree, starting a career, buying a home, and making your mark on the world. But at some point, that mountain starts to feel unfulfilling. That’s when we discover there’s a second mountain to ascend -- a path of selflessness, relationships, and greater meaning.

Today on the show, David tells us what he got wrong in his previous book, The Road to Character, and how The Second Mountain expands the vision of the good life. We then discuss why the first mountain of life gets more attention in the West and how the hyper individualism it encourages has led to an increase in loneliness, anxiety, and existential angst. David then walks us through how we shift courses from the first mountain of achievement to the second mountain of meaning by making commitments to things outside of ourselves. We then discuss the four commitments he thinks bring us real meaning and significance, and how we can seek and find them.

Episode 328 - Your life is not as bad as you think it is. Actually, it's probably pretty amazing! Sometimes you need to be "humbled" to see how great it really is. Listen to this episode to learn what I mean by that.

Captain Cooper was asked to do the impossible - But he found it impossible not to try.

As someone who gives love advice for a living, I’ve heard it all. Or so I thought… until I got this insane email question from a listener. Now let me clarify that the question is gross not in a raunchy way (although there is a sexual component to it; nothing too scandalous)… but because of the self-centered, transactional nature of the relationship it depicts. At this point you’ll probably tune in because I’ve piqued your curiosity, but I encourage you to listen because there’s a lesson we can all learn here about – if nothing else – what NOT to do in a healthy relationship.

One of my favorite books I read last year is called Self & Soul: A Defense of Ideals by a professor named Mark Edmundson. He makes the argument that in the West, our commitment to ideals (the Soul) is fading, and we're becoming a culture of the Self -- desiring comfort, safety, and materialism over the ancient ideals of courage, compassion, and contemplation. In today's podcast we discuss ancient ideals, the cultural history of the decline of ideals, and how we can revive Soul in the modern wold.

The holidays are a time of romance, of closeness, of snuggling up together by the fire and opening the gifts you thoughtfully picked out for one another… BUT what if you’re not feeling the love for your guy anymore?  If you’ve been thinking of breaking up with him, should you wait until after the holidays or just get it over with as soon as possible?   In this episode of LOVE Life we sort through your options and come up with the most fair plan to do what’s best for your soon-to-be ex.

We all are familiar with Adam Smith's book, The Wealth of Nations. It gave us the "invisible hand" and basically created the field of economics. But did you know he wrote a book before the Wealth of Nations on how to live a virtuous and good life? It's called the Theory of Moral Sentiments and the insights Smith makes in it can change your life for the better. I talk to economist Russ Roberts, author of the book, How Adam Smith Can Change Your Life, about what we can learn from the Father of Economics on living the "good life." We discuss what Smith thinks we need to do to be truly happy, how the "impartial observers" in all of us can guide to us be better, why fame isn't all that great, and why we continue to buy new iPhones even though we know the excitement of owning it will wear off in about week.
