BRX Pro Tip: Look for Opportunities to Serve
Stone Payton: [00:00:00] Welcome back to Business RadioX Pro Tips, Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you. Lee, one of the disciplines that I think you’re really particularly adept at, and I’m getting better at the more I hang around with you, but we would both suggest that regardless of what business you’re in, but, particularly, with respect to the work that we do, we should constantly just be looking for opportunities to serve.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:27] Yeah. I think it’s important to really appreciate what you have when you have it, whether that be in life or in business. And you got to appreciate that if you look at your life as a place where you get the opportunity, this is a gift that you get the opportunity to make other people in your community successful and happy. That over time, you were going to win and you’re going to become more successful. And so, first off, if you want to do this, start defining your community. Like, your community is not just where you live, you have a family community, you have friends community, you have neighbors, obviously, you have colleagues, clients. All these people are different communities that you’re part of and that you are serving.
Lee Kantor: [00:01:15] Now, each one of those communities has different needs and desires. So, now, how are you going to kind of lean into each of those communities and help them get what they are looking for? And if you can do this kind of work in each of the communities that you’re part of and this kind of empathetic work, and if you can do this every day – a little bit every day – you’ll find that not only will you be happier, you’re going to be successful. And that success may not be defined in terms of dollars and cents in every community, because each community has different needs. But you will be successful, you’ll be happier, and you’ll find that you’ll live a life with more meaning.
