Nice response to the cold-hearted marketer! He just did not understand how giving away from yourself has tremendous impact on others, and in due time you will see your business prosper!

Precisely because you thought about others first the blessings are returned.

And agree, at the core of successful entrepreneurs is a desire to serve others, that's what gets us wanting to get out of bed every morning. Money is usually not the main motivation Great post and great work you're doing for charity!

Now I know I'm not sabotaging my business every day. It definitely feels that the world is thinking in a different direction and the ones that give are the ones that will survive. Good mantra for this year: Make all you can, Save all you can, Give all you can. Thank you for this Missy! Now I know I'm not sabotaging my business every day.

I'm going to subscribe to your blog and keep up with what you're doing - I think in the end it's the people who do things for the love of doing them (whether it's marketing or anything else) and for the purpose of bettering the world/society that really go places and are the ones who are revolutionizing what we do and how we do it. Keep on doing your thing, don't listen to people who want to bring you down to their level. Just clicked through the link that Chris Brogan tweeted and I'm truly inspired by what you wrote.

We may live and breath what we do, but we are still people first. Giving is part of being a human being in a part of society. Any of us, no matter who good our situation, will experience a time in our lives when we will need or greatly benefit from someone giving something to us. I've had so many that have given freely to me during my life in ways that have really gotten me through a tough spot or just enriched my life and made it better. Both giving and receiving are life enriching experiences that I would not want to miss out on. A wonderful post Missy and you are a constant inspiration by your actions. I know you don't do the what you do in order to intentionally gain the secondary benfits of helping others. I know your chairty work is a personal passion. But you remind others of how important the act of giving is in so many ways and the value of "paying it forward". We are lucky to have you, and so many really great people, in this biz. As much as I intentionally roll around in the muck of the biz....the one consistent thing that allows me to keep my sanity is all of the really GOOD stuff I see by people in our biz as well. There really is a lot of that as well! You keep rocking on with all the good stuff! hehehehe I would have loved to have heard that convo. :)

You're right, I think we all have an obligation to give back to others; not because we'll get something back, but because it is just right. Giving from the heart and doing something good with no strings attached is the greatest gift we can give. The reward, the simple knowledge that you made a difference and helped someone. Small steps from many result in great strides. Missy, I admire all that you do and I know it comes from your heart, you do because you care. Thank you for doing all you do.

Giving back is a great way to do your "deed for the day" and help others around you, you never know when you might need it back :) I agree that it is important to give back, I run a Scoliosis support group totally for free, I keep the blog anf website updated for them not me, this is my way of giving something back to the communities I can support.

It helps you gain value in terms of trust, credibility, expertise... things that are not tangible like money but just as valuable.
