It is not uncommon to see posts questioning the merits of having as your first business rule: “Provide Value”.
Today I received a PM that gave me a tremendous boost. I am not writing in order to boast, but to encourage newcomers to give serious thought to the concept of giving value.
The member who sent me the message today was a total novice years ago when he bought my book and took the plunge into business, investing his life savings in the new venture.
He needed a guiding hand at times and I gave him all the help he needed. From time to time over the years he repaid me by recommending me in various threads, but nothing can compare with the brief story he told me today.
When I read his story of a rough start in life and the life changing success he had achieved, my heart went out to him because his words gave me such a sense of achievement and satisfaction. That was worth far more to me than any monetary reward from book sales.
For any who are new to the forum: when you read the frequent comments about giving value, take them to heart. There is no better philosophy to have as the basis for your business.

P.S. He included a picture of his lovely villa located in a place that many just dream about.
