Tip #8: And Get Yourself Free!
Volunteer to help someone for free; arrange opportunities for others to do so, as well.
It doesn’t matter if you help someone you know, or a total stranger.
Perform a volunteer project either individually or through a charitable organization in your area. Inspire others to do the same by offering to arrange an opportunity for them to participate, as well (sometimes people want to volunteer, but don’t know how to do it).
I once saw an episode of “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” (the show where a family in desperate need is chosen to receive a house that’s completely built through donations of goods and volunteers’ time). In this particular episode, a construction company owner asked his entire organization to come out and help build the house on one weekend for free. That’s right – in order to participate, they had to give up an entire weekend to work without pay.
At the end, these big burly construction workers came to the owner, choked up, and thanked him for giving them the opportunity to participate in something so meaningful.
