More Than WE Know

This is my fourth post in my series exploring Keith Cameron Smith’s compelling book

Distinction #4

Millionaires believe they must be generous.

The Middle-class thinks they can’t afford to give.

Actually, I’m not sure that this one applies so much to Women Entrepreneurs in general. As I wrote recently, approximately 50% of Women Entrepreneurs contribute their money and time to charitable organizations - which is even slightly higher than their male counterparts.

And those statistics overlook that Women Entrepreneurs who are not giving to a charitable organization, may be giving informally to their community, their families and their friends.

However, it is worth stopping and asking yourself how much you are giving to others.  Research has found that people of all genders and all ages who give to others tend to live longer, healthier and happier lives.  In other words, the more we give, the more we have to give.

So instead of thinking we can’t afford to give - we need to remember that we can’t afford not to.
