Sometimes you do good for people and in business, it s in life. You do it so many times that nobody sees it and you get discouraged. Like why am I doing anything good if nobody else sees it? I heard a story by a man of 5 1/2 years ago, a man named Eric, who was in the Navy many, many years ago. And he said, one time my sister did school and her and her beautiful friend were going to the beach and I begged my sister to take her with me. She initially said no, but finally said yes.

00:00:22.220
Sometimes you do good for people and in business, it's in life.
00:00:27.560
You do it so many times that nobody sees it and you get discouraged.
00:00:30.980
Like why am I doing anything good if nobody sees it?
00:00:33.200
I heard a story by a man of five and a half years ago, a man named Eric,
00:00:41.960
He was in the Navy many, many years ago right here by Santa Barbara.
00:00:44.780
And he said, one time my sister did school and her and her beautiful friend
00:00:53.220
were going to the beach and I begged my sister to take her with me.
00:00:56.280
So she initially said no, but finally she took her and took him.
00:01:06.460
Cause he's in his late seventies, this man, Eric.
00:01:12.740
So 65 years ago, 70 years ago, you're talking 1950s, 1960s,
00:01:26.280
We go and while you're driving to the beach on Las Virginas or Cana,
00:01:33.540
He says, the wagon breaks down and we have no idea what to do.
00:01:43.800
And he says, a man pulls up in his truck with a dog in the truck with him.
00:01:58.880
He says, yeah, you know, we have a flat tire here and we don't know how to change.
00:02:03.020
Goes back, gets everything, comes down, changes the tire and says,
00:02:16.560
Do you think Reagan knew at that point one day he's going to be a president
00:02:20.080
and another person who was in the Navy is going to tell this story to another person
00:02:23.380
and this story is going to be told years after he passes away.
00:02:27.020
Do you think when he's in that moment, he knows it?
00:02:33.320
At that time, he was trying to be an actor in Hollywood
00:02:35.460
and his career was sport announcing and all the stuff that he was doing when he left Dixon.
00:02:41.480
So many times when you do good and you think no one's watching,
00:02:46.640
just remember the goodness of doing good, you know, one, you feel good about it.
00:02:53.320
But second is when you do it hundreds of times over a 10, 15, 20-year period,
00:02:59.980
eventually your reputation follows and many people start talking about it.
00:03:05.700
This concept works in life, it works in business, it works in, if you're ever planning on getting into politics,
00:03:15.200
When that reputation spreads, people want to have somebody like that in their lives
00:03:19.980
and they want to do business with someone like that in their lives.
00:03:23.280
So today, for no reason at all, go do something good for someone.
00:03:27.940
And if you want to share it with us on the bottom, tell us what you did.
00:03:33.140
But today, just for no reason at all, help somebody out today.
00:03:39.640
But, and continuously once you do that, 10, 15, 20 years from now,
00:03:44.720
your reputation will start spreading to everybody else as well.
