Chasing vs. Serving

Posted by Derrick Carpenter in North Bergen NJ. He writes a post every week called Start with the End in Mind on Blogspot. This a little ditty his coach, Mike, wrote but he sent this to me on myspace and I wanted to share it with you, my peers and fellow readers.

Chasing vs. Serving

What looks to be the ‘easy path' is really the difficult path.

"Mike, that makes little sense, what are you talking about?"

Watch humanity.

Seriously, watch humanity, including what I call ‘ business
opportunity grasshoppers', people who jump from opportunity to opportunity every few months.

Humanity seeks to make money. Have you ever met a person who ‘made money'?

We don't make or print money, we EARN MONEY.

More than that, we even attract money, more on this in a second.

Most of the globe seeks to make money through CHASING MONEY.

Chasers long for the dollar and always seem to end up with a
penny.

Chasers desire ‘get rich quick' methods and see people as pawns in their grand schemes.

Most people have spent time as a ‘chaser' before realizing the
failure of that way of living.

To many, the ‘easy path' is the longing for the dollar at any
cost. What they later discover is that path is the difficult,
long road to riches.

The journey to confident living and financial riches is going
from chasing to serving.

The journey to confident living and financial riches is going
from chasing to serving.


Success is service.

Success is the transferring of value and solutions to problems, to someone else.

You attract money through organizing your knowledge, taking
action, with the aim of service/value. Profit will follow.

Chasers are selfish. They barely scrape by.

Servers are unselfish. They always have more than they need.

Those who desire to serve have something even more important than money.

Inner peace. There's a inner peace you receive through service.

Service is based on one of nature's greatest laws. The LAW of
sowing and reaping.

Lose yourself into your prospects and customers.

Create real value for them. LOVERAGE them.

As you commit to this ‘way', you'll also see an increase in your character and self esteem.

We all have a ‘get rich quick' side of us. Beware of it.
Sometimes you don't even see it, though it's there.

Slow down. Relax. Allow yourself to plant success seeds in your life and business.

The harvest will happen.

Surround yourself with servers, not chasers.

What can you give today? Whom can you serve?

At ERA, I'm SELLING HOUSES

When you're buying a home, buy with no major repair worries – choose a house covered by the ERA Home Protection Plan® *. It's your best protection against costly, unexpected repair bills after closing. The ERA Home Protection Plan is an exclusive ERA® program to protect you against expensive repair or replacement costs when the major working components in your new home break down: water heater...furnace...built-in appliances...electrical wiring...central air conditioning...exposed duct work...interior plumbing system and fixtures. Your protection lasts for a full year from the date of purchase on a previously owned home, with the option to renew. Homes protected by the ERA Home Protection Plan sell 15% faster on average. As an added bonus, the plan also protects sellers the same way. While your home is on the market, the same major components are covered until the day of sale – or a maximum of 180 days. So relax. Not only will you have peace of mind regarding unexpected repairs, but you also increase the chances that your home will sell faster at a better value. The ERA Home Protection Plan is another reason why we say, at ERA, "We're Selling Houses."® -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Costs, conditions and limitations apply.
