At my Big Money Speaker Boot Camps, I have been holding charitable giving sessions, meaning that I offer an opportunity for our amazing entrepreneurs to give back by creating an opportunity for them to donate money to aid other people. Specifically, this charitable organization has been the LEAP Foundation. This foundation raises money to assist teens and young adults by providing scholarships to a week long summer camp. In this camp, the students learn real life information regarding how to conduct themselves to be successful in life and business.
This LEAP camp is amazing, and I thank all of my audience members for all the amazing things they offer for these camps by donating at my boot camps. By the way, spreading it out is the way to be in life. When you are blessed to possess certain things, particularly money, it is easy to write a check. However, sometimes the blessings include even more, such as your time, energy, effort. Volunteering can be very rewarding. Give when and how you are able to provide. When you spread that out the goodness, the better that happens in the world. By the way, the more you give, the more you receive. Good will happen for you. If nothing else, you feel better knowing what you've done.
By the way, here is something else. When I used to go to a grocery store, and there would be a homeless person or somebody asking for money I used to give them money. I would give them money and request them not to buy drugs or alcohol with the cash. Then, I would always be wondering all of the time if they listened to me or if I just invested in something I did not support. I wondered if that guy bought food or if he bought the drugs or alcohol.
Then, I did a little shift. Whenever I go to the grocery store and see someone who is homeless, I'll go in and buy them two or three bags of groceries. I come out and give them groceries. At least I know they've got food. Why? I see people who walk by these folks, and they won't even acknowledge them. They're people. They're human beings. Just help them. I don't care how you do it. Give them a dime. A dime is more than they have now. Go buy them some food. Alright, I'm off my soapbox.
In my opinion, that is something that wealthy people do. You give to others you cannot do for themselves. However, I am all for giving them information to get better, too. If you have the time and resources, then give them a hand up by helping them help themselves. If you are not able to give time and resources, then there is nothing wrong with cash or a check. If you want to be wealthy, then you need to think, feel and act as if you are wealthy starting right now. Got it? Good.
