Summary
Does focusing on bringing value to others–actually placing their interests first–mean that you’re more likely to lose out or be taken advantage of? Or, more likely to win big? We’ll discuss that in our Thought of the Day. And later in today’s interview, we’ll talk with Lisa Earle McLeod, who has created a movement of “Noble Purpose” first in selling, and now in leadership. And the results? I’ll bet you can guess? That and more on today’s show.
Bob’s Thought of the Day
You’ll discover:
- Why Bob and his co-author John David Mann often say that “money is an echo of value.”
- The life-changing advice about making money Bob once received from an old mentor.

Interview with Lisa Earle McLeod
You’ll discover:
- What it means to pursue a “noble purpose” and how it eliminates the false dichotomy between making money and making a difference.

- A moving story about Lisa’s Father in his final days and the impact he made on others through his business.
- Why you must move from a “money” story to a “meaning” story.

About the Book
The Go-Giver tells the story of an ambitious young man named Joe who yearns for success. Joe is a true go-getter, though sometimes he feels as if the harder and faster he works, the further away his goals seem to be. Joe learns that shifting his focus from getting to giving — constantly and consistently creating value for others — leads to exceptional returns.
Rapidly going from national bestseller to global phenomenon, The Go-Giver has gained a devoted following with over a million copies sold. It’s utilized as a resource in major corporations to small businesses, in schools and churches, in book clubs, and more. Nearly a decade since its original publication, this timeless story continues to help its readers find fulfillment and greater success in business, in their personal lives and in their communities.
Hi Bob,
Loved the interview with Lisa really enjoyed it. I wonder if she took a leaf (in fact I am sure she took a leaf out of the Go – Giver). By the way I have now finished the trilogy of Go – Givers and they are all GREAT!
Best regards Bob and keep up the GREAT WORK.
Barry.
Hi Barry, thank you for your kind words, and glad you enjoyed the interview with Lisa. In response to your comment, I believe that Lisa was teaching and applying her business and life principles long before The Go-Giver arrived on the scene, but thank you. 🙂 And, glad to know you finished the trilogy of GG books and that enjoyed them! 🙂
