| Ken Blanchard & S. Truett Cathy Giving of talent, time, and money can sometimes hurt. It often includes sacrifice. An individual who gives something may have to forego a personal pleasure, such as buying a new computer system or season tickets to a favorite sporting event. A family may have to pass up two extra days of vacation. The flip side is that giving has tremendous rewards. These rewards become evident in a variety of dimensionsâ€"emotional, relational, financial, and spiritual. Through a practical approach and an engaging story line, Ken Blanchard and S. Truett Cathy guide you on a journey to discover the joys of giving and the impact that the "generosity factor" can have on your life! One morning, a financially successful young broker with a good future reads an article in his favorite business publication that captures his attention. It appears that a very successful businessman claims that his greatest joy is giving away his money as well as his time! The broker is intrigued, but confused. Why would someone who has worked hard to achieve financial success and security give it away to others? Was there something this powerful executive knew that the broker didn't understand? Was there some significance or meaning in the act of giving that the broker could not see? A phone call to the executive and a trip to his business marked the beginning of a week and a lifetime of learning, meaning, and giving for the young broker. From its forthright story line and simple strategy of creating life-long significance through giving of one's self, The Generosity Factor delivers a powerful message that could change your life. |
