What You Give Away You Get To Keep

When I first started in business, I only had a little support. I knew I had the drive and ambition, but figuring out the 'how' was overwhelming. There were moments I felt stuck, wondering if I could really make it. It wasn't until a few mentors started seeing that fire in my belly that things changed. They took me under their wing, sharing their time, knowledge, and guidance when I needed it most. That's when I first experienced real support and saw my business's potential.

One of those mentors said something that has stayed with me ever since: "What you give away, you get to keep."Recently, I embodied this principle by offering a free 14-day Business Momentum Challenge in my private Facebook community. It was all about giving—my time, resources, and knowledge. I wanted to be there for the women in my group, helping them navigate those tricky moments when they feel stumped or unsure.

I didn't do it for recognition or to gain anything back. I did it because I know firsthand what it's like to need support and not have it. Watching others grow because of something I shared with them is incredibly rewarding. Let's get started below!

"What you give away, you get to keep."

How Does This Translate to Your Business?

FOOD for thought... ??????????

This idea of giving isn't just about being generous—it's about building something deeper. When you share your knowledge, skills, and value with others—whether through networking, mentoring, or providing exceptional service—you're helping them and helping yourself grow, too.

Here's how this mindset can transform your business:

1. Generosity in Expertise: Offering valuable insights or resources, like free content or advice, positions you as an authority in your field. People see your willingness to help, and that attracts more clients to you.

2. Building Relationships: When you share your time and energy with clients, colleagues, or your community, you nurture long-term loyalty. These connections lead to referrals, partnerships, and new opportunities.

3. Confidence in Abundance: Giving freely shows that you're confident in your abilities and not worried about scarcity. This confidence creates even more opportunities for you to thrive.

4. Empowerment Through Service: When you serve others, the impact goes beyond transactions. You're building a legacy, creating a ripple effect that strengthens your business in ways you might not see immediately.

When you present yourself with this in mind, focus on showcasing your willingness to support and uplift others while ensuring your expertise is consistently visible. This is what I do—my brand is built around service, mentorship, and community involvement. It's a solid foundation that continues to fuel my business growth.

Remember, what you give away, you get to keep.

Take five minutes today to think about one way to give to your audience or community. Whether sharing a tip on social media, offering a free resource, or simply reaching out to a client to see how they're doing—start small but take action. The key is to put yourself out there and offer value with no strings attached. Trust that what you give will return to you in ways you can't imagine. ??
