Abundance and Generosity

An Ally mindset starts with a perspective of Abundance rather than Scarcity.
Do you believe there is plenty of success to go around?  Then why not collaborate for the success of others in your company?
This is about moving from a “me first—my success” to a “we first—our success” mindset. Think about it: if we are both successful, then there’s more success to go around. With an abundance mindset, our hopes and dreams are shared, both personal and business. Our goals and passions are talked about, not kept in the dark, hidden and secret. The more people who know and understand what we are trying to achieve, the more people can help us to get there.
Creativity is stimulated as experience, thoughts, and ideas are shared! Continuous learning is an outcome of shared knowledge, increasing the organization’s ability to adapt and innovate and increasing our ability to adapt and innovate.
I’m often asked who my business competitors are. This is where the abundance mindset comes into play. My answer is that there’s plenty of work for all of us. We don’t spend time worried about who our competitors are or what they might be doing. I hope they experience success. We have referred our clients to “competitors” who, in my opinion, may be better positioned to meet their needs. This is normal in an abundant world, and it is the right thing to do.
When we approach success as a “scarce resource,” it becomes something to be hoarded and not shared. I’ve seen a “scarcity” mindset undermine collaboration and customer service. How about you?
This leads to the second part of this foundation—Generosity.
For me, this manifests itself in the advice, coaching, and encouragement I have provided to those who have asked, even in those in similar businesses to mine. I am happy to share my story, my successes, my failures, my mistakes, my learning—and if this helps you succeed and build your confidence, even better! My focus is on being the best version of me that I can be, to ensure that my team provides the best possible results for our clients. Ask for my input and I will make time for you, because I always learn something from these conversations that helps me to move forward as much as I help you. I am your Ally; I am with you.
Abundance & Generosity are the foundations for my business and my approach to life. Of course, at times I find myself in need of reminders to get back on this foundation. But my Allies are quick to help me shift.
Please know that while what I’ve said above is true, I don’t share it to paint myself as Saint Abundance. I’ve simply seen this mindset do wonders for our business and my Allies!
