Business Thrives With Reciprocity

Smile at someone. They smile back. Reciprocity.

It is a law that has been around forever and the most successful entrepreneurs have always embraced it. The formula to reciprocity is simple. You get what you give.

 

In Life

Don’t believe me? Try these simple experiments in reciprocity:

Give a huge, genuine smile to the next person that walks by. They smile back. The law of reciprocity.

Give your spare change to a homeless person. Your heart fills. The law of reciprocity.

Give the bird to the guy who cut you off. He curses you out. The law of reciprocity.

 

In Business

I understand those prior examples were simple, but it goes further. Reciprocity applies to business too:

Genuinely help others to become wealthy and you will become wealthy.

Do whatever you can to help your colleagues and they will do the same for you.

Be fanatically loyal to your clients and they will be fanatically loyal to your firm.

Give without an expectation of return and you will receive without an expectation of return.

 

Give a smile.  You will get a smile.
