Are you building a culture of generosity and significance in your life and business?

In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and John discuss:

• Three things to do every day to be a great leader.
• Making a difference and living a significant life.
• Add value to people every day, believe in them, and love them.
• Understanding your personal, financial finish line.
• The relationship between generosity and gratitude.
• Building a healthy and generous culture in your business.

Key Takeaways:

• Success is about you, significance is about others.
• If God gave you the gift to make money, He gave you the gift to make money to be generous. Generosity is the fruit of gratitude.
• We are rarely good at our first attempt. Life requires self-accountability, practice, and persistence. Move forward doing the right things, for the right reasons, with the right motives.
• Give now. Give while you’re alive so you know where the money is going. If it is in your net worth, it is not worth anything to anybody else.
• Generosity is not tied to finances. If you aren’t giving now, you won’t give when you’re older.

"Be very careful that you give in the right places…I want to give money where people's lives are being beautifully, incredibly changed." — John Maxwell
