Render more service than that for which you are paid and you will soon be paid for more than you render. The law of ‘Increasing Returns’ takes care of this.
Napoleon Hill describes the Law of Increasing Returns by describing the farmer, who carefully prepares the soil, then sows the seeds of the crop he desires. Because he is attuned to the Law of Increasing Returns, he waters and weeds and waits with confident expectation that the seeds he has sown will return to him, plus “a many-fold increase.”
All of us make decisions every day about whether it's worth it to wait, whether it's worth it to keep working.
Does it make sense to keep working, to keep sacrificing, when nothing seems to be coming from the effort?
Here is some perspective on understanding how the Law of Increasing Returns works:
You write a weekly blog with helpful and inspiring content, which costs you time to research and publish. Eventually, because people come to know and appreciate you, they get in touch to see about working with you.
You check in on a client you know is struggling, and find that you have contacted them at the very moment that person needed to know someone has their back. You do this with sincerity, share what you know, they have a breakthrough, and they refer another business owner to you.
You offer complimentary strategy sessions and give a tremendous amount of your wisdom to a person who may or may not work with you at that moment. In the meantime, they send a friend who becomes a client, or later purchase a product you have created.
You offer to speak at networking groups and give free webinars where your ideal clients gather, and before long, people really get how much you have to offer, and send referrals.
You spend an hour a day being active on social media channels where your ideal client is also active, answering questions, offering recommendations and advice, sharing your knowledge freely. People begin to contact you via private message, asking how they can work with you, asking if you accept referrals.
Today, list 5 different ways you sow seeds of success in your business.
Where are you offering more value than people pay for?
Where else can you do this?
If you hesitate or balk, it's just a bit of fear that you can break through quickly.
Look at your definite purpose - now look at the value you are offering people - and look at how you can increase that value.
Do it with the belief that you will receive more than you put out. And do it with a cheerful attitude.
