Are You Teaching Others to Fish?

What we mean by ask­ing Are You Teach­ing Oth­ers to Fish is… are you giv­ing oth­ers the nec­es­sary tools to cre­ate wealth and then Pay it For­ward to society?

 

We recently watched a show called “The Secret Mil­lion­aire”. You may have heard of it? If not, it’s on ABC, Sun­day at 8:00 pm. Any­way, this par­tic­u­lar episode fea­tured Dani John­son, multi-millionaire entre­pre­neur, best sell­ing author, speaker, and radio talk show host.

Dani Johnson’s per­sonal story and her amaz­ing jour­ney have touched us in a pro­found way and we’d like to to share with you a lit­tle about her and this phe­nom­e­nal show that is chang­ing oth­ers lives.

Dani was raised on wel­fare, was preg­nant at 17, home­less at 21, and a mil­lion­aire by age 23. She started her busi­ness out of the trunk of her car and a pay phone booth. She grew her busi­ness into the dynasty that it is today and is giv­ing back on so many levels.

She reg­u­larly con­sults, men­tors, and coaches peo­ple on career advance­ment, per­sonal achieve­ment, busi­ness growth, lead­er­ship devel­op­ment, mar­ket­ing and profit strate­gies, rela­tion­ships, time man­age­ment, wealth attain­ment and spir­i­tual issues.  She is pas­sion­ate about help­ing peo­ple break through bar­ri­ers that stop them from expe­ri­enc­ing true free­dom emo­tion­ally, men­tally, spir­i­tu­ally, and financially.

Dani and her hus­band Hans are also the founders of King’s Ran­som Foun­da­tion, a non-profit char­ity ded­i­cated to serv­ing peo­ple in need world­wide. She and her hus­band believe strongly in the need for suc­cess­ful peo­ple to give back to local com­mu­ni­ties and char­i­ta­ble orga­ni­za­tions. We believe this is impor­tant as well. See the list of char­i­ties we sup­port by click­ing on the fol­low­ing link: Causes

In the episode of “The Secret Mil­lion­aire”, Dani goes under­cover to vol­un­teer at three dif­fer­ent orga­ni­za­tions offer­ing not only phys­i­cal labor, but in the end a sub­stan­tial amount of money and  lead­er­ship to help not only sus­tain these peo­ple in the future, but thrive. The orga­ni­za­tions were The Love Kitchen, Spe­cial Spaces, Inc., and The Joy of Music School.

How does Dani’s story per­tain to home based busi­ness, you ask?

Well, in order to be suc­cess­ful in your home based busi­ness, you have to sur­round your­self and learn from oth­ers with integrity; peo­ple who are fully con­fi­dent and com­mit­ted to their suc­cess and are teach­ing oth­ers to do the same. Dani does just that! She stresses the point of walk­ing the walk, not just talk­ing the talk. A lot of peo­ple just talk about help­ing oth­ers and think that writ­ing a check is enough.

It’s impor­tant to get out there and phys­i­cally help! Get your hands dirty! Vol­un­teer at a soup kitchen, help restore a house, clean musi­cal instru­ments,  men­tor to teens, give of your time by lis­ten­ing to an elderly person’s story, etc. etc.. Genuinely care and teach them how to help them­selves and oth­ers. The reward will be great.

 

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

You need to fol­low lead­ers that are giv­ing back to soci­ety, who offer value and are true vision­ar­ies. This will help you to grow and become the leader you need to be, hence cre­at­ing a home based busi­ness that offers true abun­dance, both per­son­ally and financially.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are some words that lead­ers NEVER say and what you should replace them with:

I can’t–I CAN!

I hope–I KNOW!

I might–I WILL!

I’ll try–I AM!

Some­day I’ll–I DID!

Hope you found some value out of this post and that YOU go out there and teach oth­ers how to fish!

To Your Success,
