But I measure success in what it has done for the people around me. That is the real accolade.\u201d\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\n-- Adam Grant<br />\r\n\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nEven in a quarantined world, we have dozens of interactions with other people each day.\u00a0 From the grocery store worker to our boss to the emails you send your clients, we\u2019re in a constant state of giving and taking.\u00a0\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nHere\u2019s an idea: try to give more than you take in every single scenario.\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nBe cheerful to the cashier and help bag your own groceries.\u00a0 Do something from your boss that she doesn\u2019t expect from you.\u00a0 Send your clients an article or podcast that they\u2019d find valuable - and don\u2019t ask for anything in return.\u00a0\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nJim Rohn says that \u201clife gives to the givers and takes from the takers.\u201d\u00a0 In my first few years in the business world, I\u2019ve seen that take place. Salespeople that think of their clients\u2019 needs first have shot past the \u201cone call closers.\u201d\u00a0 The people that help connect other people together have way better networks than those that always ask to \u201cpick your brain\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThere is a Gary V concept called The 51/49 Rule: in each interaction, be the person to give at least 51% of the value.\u00a0\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nKeep that in mind with all of your interactions today.\u00a0<br />\r\nThis post is from our new series, Daily Momentum.\u00a0 Each morning, we send a short, inspirational post via email, blog and podcast.\u00a0 You can get it\u00a0directly to your email here.\u00a0 You can\u00a0subscribe on iTunes here.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/84060626-235a-42dc-9a40-a1eead6830e0/eAA1TPwy9oTcEamuijU4gpev.png"}
