00:00:00.000 You can only keep what you give away, you know, this is a belief that I learned as a young kid
00:00:04.980 and it's something that's really driven me in my life in a big way. So I remember when I was like
00:00:09.080 seven or eight, I was walking down the street with my dad and we came across a homeless person
00:00:13.460 sitting on the corner and I was just like, oh, he needs money. So I reached into my pocket,
00:00:17.800 I took everything out, whatever change I had, and I put it in his hat. And my dad's like,
00:00:22.540 what are you doing? I just gave you that money. And I was like, yeah, but dad,
00:00:27.120 He needs it more than us.
00:00:28.600 Like, I was thinking in my head, well, he's got more money anyway, so my dad can hook
00:00:32.260 me up.
00:00:32.780 We've got food.
00:00:33.660 We've got a home.
00:00:34.480 We've got a place to sleep.
00:00:35.700 And I just felt right.
00:00:37.880 And I didn't realize at the point, even though my dad was like, why does Dan keep giving
00:00:41.780 away all the money he's ever had to other people?
00:00:44.340 It was just my approach to living in life.
00:00:47.400 You know, and over the years, I've just found that the more I give, the more I get.
00:00:52.380 And that belief, you can only keep what you give away.
00:00:54.880 When you think about money, a lot of people, they have this kind of hoard mentality to wealth.
00:01:00.660 They feel like if they gain it, they got to keep it and they don't give it away.
00:01:03.500 I'm going to challenge you to give more away.
00:01:06.580 And for you and your circumstance, that's whatever you deem appropriate.
00:01:10.520 If you think about different scripture or other ideas in the world and people talk about numbers, maybe it's 10%.
00:01:17.160 Whatever it is for you, I don't want to tell you it's right or wrong.
00:01:20.500 I'm just gonna challenge you to start asking yourself,
00:01:23.020 how can I give more money away?
00:01:25.660 Appreciate it, be grateful for it,
00:01:27.160 put it out there in the world,
00:01:28.760 and trust me when I tell you this,
00:01:30.880 that more will come back to you.
00:01:32.400 That's number one.
00:01:33.440 The second thing that I wanna share with you guys
00:01:35.240 is that if you want more support,
00:01:37.980 if you feel like you're not getting,
00:01:40.140 you don't have any friends that really support you
00:01:41.760 in your life, in your mission,
00:01:43.180 in what you're trying to get done in life,
00:01:45.920 then give more away.
00:01:47.840 You know, when's the last time you went to an event?
00:01:50.500 and you met somebody and you asked them what they did,
00:01:53.200 and then you said, how can I be helpful?
00:01:55.840 If you want more of that,
00:01:57.500 if you want more people to support you,
00:01:59.800 if you want more people to give and help you
00:02:04.720 and be grateful for your friendship,
00:02:06.800 then you gotta go first.
00:02:08.100 You need to do it first.
00:02:09.400 You can only keep what you give away.
00:02:11.800 So give away that support.
00:02:13.560 If you're having a bad day, check this out.
00:02:15.700 If you wanna, if you're having a bad day
00:02:17.480 and things just didn't line up
00:02:18.700 the way you would hope them to do,
00:02:20.460 the best way to fix that is just pick up the phone
00:02:23.080 and call a friend and say, hey man, how can I help out?
00:02:25.460 What are you struggling with today?
00:02:26.800 Is there anything?
00:02:28.120 And if not, I'm just calling to say hello
00:02:29.980 and how much I appreciate you as a person.
00:02:32.060 You know, or maybe it's you just tweet out.
00:02:34.200 If you're on Twitter, just tweet out and say,
00:02:35.780 how can I be helpful?
00:02:37.040 Or does anybody need a phone call?
00:02:38.880 Is there any entrepreneur struggling right now
00:02:40.920 that I can support?
00:02:42.100 That simple act of giving it away,
00:02:44.640 even, and I know you're gonna be like,
00:02:45.980 I feel like such a fraud because I don't feel like
00:02:48.000 I'm really coming from a place.
00:02:49.500 But trust me, it's not about you, it's about helping them.
00:02:53.100 And by doing that, it's gonna bring other people
00:02:54.960 into your life.
00:02:56.500 And then number three is about love, about friendship,
00:02:59.380 about having caring people in your life.
00:03:02.180 Many people make the mistake.
00:03:03.700 Here's the mistake.
00:03:04.820 They go, well, I want more love in my life,
00:03:06.880 so I'm gonna meet everybody halfway.
00:03:09.360 I think that's fair.
00:03:10.220 Halfway, I'm just gonna meet them halfway,
00:03:11.820 and they're gonna meet me halfway.
00:03:13.380 And I'm gonna tell you guys right now,
00:03:14.880 my belief is you give 100%.
00:03:16.920 You don't go 50%.
00:03:19.040 You go 100%.
00:03:20.700 If you want people to care for you,
00:03:22.580 you care for them at 100%.
00:03:24.340 And if they don't reciprocate, that's okay.
00:03:26.840 But if you want more love, you want more caring,
00:03:29.100 you want more happiness in your life,
00:03:31.560 then give 100%.
00:03:33.620 That is my three biggest beliefs in life.
00:03:36.880 The major one is you can only keep what you give away.
00:03:40.080 So if you want more money,
00:03:41.340 you want more people to support you,
00:03:42.560 and you want more love,
00:03:43.740 then give it first.
00:03:45.000 Be an example of that.
00:03:46.520 and it'll come back into you.
