This book has been in my library for several years and I go back to it again and again. Now my children are embracing the messages in this book. A gift in my family, business and life!
I have been in sales all my life. The most imporant lesson I learned was how to LISTEN to your customer! Read between the lines of what they say. Bottom line is sell what the really need, not what they think they want! Ok, I believe I have summed this book up in 2 sentences!
Great Book. I gave it to my 12 year old after reading it myself, and he ate it up. He has all of the laws memorized and reminds all of us in our family of those laws constantly. This stuff works!
+Roger Patterson Roger, my apologies for the delayed response. Just saw this. Please know how much that means to me. What a terrific compliment! Wow! And, please send him my thanks and regards! :-)
+Sophia Fulton WOW - thank you, Sophia. What a fantastic compliment. So very proud of you for beginning your entrepreneurial career at such a young age. I know you'll provide exceptional value to the lives of millions!
These laws don't always lead to good results.. I practised this from around 2016 till 2019 and I lost a lot of money, time, and I ended up doing things that I was basically uncomfortable with.. There are many scenarios where the laws of this book can lead to good results and it can also lead to lots of problems like making a person a victim of people trying to take advantage of others..
@@aditya6201 Hello Aditya, while I'm sorry to hear about your situation, please understand that there is absolutely nothing about being a "Go-Giver" that is congruent with allowing yourself to be a victim, a doormat, a martyr, or otherwise be taken advantage of. My suggestion is that perhaps you interpreted these principles in a way that was counterproductive. I hope you'll consider that and perhaps look back at what you did or how you interpreted these principles. Thank you.
I just finished reading The Go-Giver, and I loved it. It reinforced what I already knew, taught some new things and answered a couple of questions. One of my favourite quotes that I found in this little book, "There's no force more powerful than the trust in a child's face".
So today is a day of kindness, forgiveness and self-examination in my country (also known as Yom Kipur). I had a feeling I needed to read this book today. And what can I tell you, I just swallow it in one bite! Loved the whole story, and I truly believe in what it stands for. For the last few years, I've had people asking me about my luck. And frankly, it's the giving that made me the lucky person I am today. And you gave it the most precised and beautiful, yet down to earth, definition. Just joined the movement on FB. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
+shir35303 Thank you, Shir. Just seeing your comments now so please forgive the delayed response. I hope you had a meaningful Yom Kippur, a relatively easy fast, and that your upcoming year is both good and sweet. Toda Raba for your very kind words. I'm honored to know you enjoyed and found meaning in the book!
Best book and series I have ever read! I buy these books by the dozens and give them to friends and even strangers! It's actually a great networking tool "here, borrow this book and bring it back when you're done."
@@BobBurg Let me know if there is ever anything I can do to help the cause. I'm well practiced at applying the laws in business and life at this point!
Great job Bob! Thanks for coming to HTG this last year. Your book is the basis of our business. No one is allowed to work here without reading the book first! If they show up without reading it, we sit them in a corner and let them read until they have ingested all the 5 laws.
+Sunny Lowe Sunny, I appreciate that so very much. And, please excuse the very-delayed response to your kind post. Apparently I missed a whole bunch of thoughtful comments and, unfortunately, yours was one of them. Thank you so much. I LOVE the team at HTG. Fantastic people!!
After enjoying listening to this in audio book format, I have begun to change the way I interact with other, learning to listen more to others and hear what they value and give them my attention. Thank you Bob Burg for this book, not only is it enjoyable to listen to, it has helped me begin to change my thinking and acting. The key to Stratospheric success is giving! Give and it shall come back to you, good measure, pressed down shaken together and running over. Luke 6:38
Barnabas, thank you for your kind words about John David Mann's and my book. Very gratifying to know you found value in the book and that it served as a catalyst for change. Appreciated!
The concepts explained in this book should be mandatory reading in all the schools in the country. They apply to business but also in all that we do in our personal lives. If we all started to give and to cooperate, to collaborate extensively, and to put the others before us, all would change for the good. I would encourage everyone to give these theories a try and get back to the authors of the book with sensitive evidence of the results. Thank you, Bob!!!
I read this book few years back and it popped up in my head again cuz i was thinking about business....i think it hits at fundamental thing that never changes.. Creating value for others..which i have forgotten about for a while...gonna read it again
Thank you for your kind and very insightful comment! Indeed, success principles never change, and value creation is truly one of them. Wishing you Stratospheric Success!
Bob, this is easily one of the best books I have read. I was able to relate to Joe on so many levels. Thank you for enlightening us with this way of life!
Thank YOU, Shamly, for your very kind feedback! That's really one of the nicest compliments that John David Mann and I could ever see from a reader. Please know how grateful I am!
First encounter with Bob Burj. After watching this clip, I immediately subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to learning from another mind. Excited! 😁
It was recommended to me today. I just read te first chapter I found online and was glued to the computer screen. LOVE it! resonates with me. Im ordering it now. Thank you
Bob, I'd like to thank you for writing this very well-written, concise book that's full of value. Not only do I find it enjoyable to read, I also appreciate the positive atmosphere it painted through narrative presentation. Its message is life changing and worth its weight in gold. I'm now reading the second book, Go-Givers Sell More, and I'm equally impressed with both the content and writing style that I intend to re-read the entire series even though I haven't finished the other books yet.
Rick, thank you so much! What a kind and fantastic compliment. Please know how very grateful I am! Was also very fortunate to have the opportunity to coauthor this book and the three following books in the series with John David Mann who was truly the lead writer/storyteller and whose gifts made the books read as they do. Again, Rick, greatly appreciate you taking the time to share such encouraging feedback!
@@BobBurg My pleasure! I'm starstruck that my comment received a reply from a best-selling author like you! 🤓 Yes, you and John David are bonafide leaders, influencers, and philanthropists. It's The Go-Giver that also inspired me to post this comment and write a review of the same thought on Goodreads. That's the most I can give back to return the favor. After all, I'm an aspiring writer myself. How I wish to be coached by authentic mentors like you and John David..🥺
Thank you, Rick! Wishing you much success with your writing. You might want to check out a free ebook John wrote and offers on his website titled "How to Write Good (or at Least, Gooder)" :-). I believe you'll find it to be very helpful. You can find it at johndavidmann.com/.
I finished the book this morning and I really had to take a moment to absorb all the nutritional information I was just given. It was thrilling, captivating and unexpectedly pretty simple Laws to follow. As a highschool student & aspring entrepreneur, I thank you for this great read!
+Austin Lucas Wow - thank you, Austin. Your kind feedback is greatly appreciated! A bonus for me is knowing that - as a high school student - you saw value in the message. John David Mann and I ALWAYS take that as a fantastic compliment! Best wishes for great success to you, both in life itself and in your entrepreneurial career!
This is such a beautiful insight to the TREASURE in The Go-Giver book. Thank you so much, Bob Burg & John D. Mann, for giving WAY MORE in VALUE than expected for your work. I consider you one of my very TOP MENTORS, and I am now listening to THE GO-GIVER PODCAST every day... It is absolutely Professional, Excellent and IMPECCABLE in its form and content... A truly "VALUE-PACKED" show. THANK YOU, Bob!
+Monica Sancio You're amazing, Monica! Thank you so much! Your kindness and encouragement is appreciated way more than mere words can possibly express!
Bob I wanted to say thank you for writing this wonderful book and story, it's truly inspiring and something every young person should read! As a young entrepreneur it's surely changed my direction in life! Thank you!!
Plamen, thank YOU so much for your very kind feedback on John David Mann's and my book. It's an honor to know you enjoyed it and found it to be of value. Much gratitude!
Bob, I heard you on Self Improvement Daily podcast today. I loved your concept ... I am a firm believer in time spent is more valuable than actual dollars and sense. On the podcast it sounded as if you agree with that. I am unable to find that podcast anywhere shareable, if all parties receiving are not apple users. My gf works 104 hrs a week with very little time for herself,her kids , me or us.... All this to be just even after all that effort. I do what I can to make her smile and make her feel life is worth living. But that’s an incredible amount of effort , with not much personal gratification. My efforts and miserly 40hr work week (to her) do not measure up. Is ur book anything like what I heard from you Self Improvement Daily today? Then I will definitely get it for her.
Hi EJ, thank you for your kind words about the podcast. Regarding your and your girlfriend's situation, I'm sorry to hear about that. I certainly hope that you and she both can find work that is rewarding mentally, emotionally, and financially!
I read the whole book yesterday because my 28yr old daughter GAVE it to me to read. Some kind person GAVE it to her first. I was the happiest Recipient(Law of Receptivity) :) . I so love the book & the way it's written. Would like my own copy as I'm keen to apply the 5 Laws. Very helpful. Thankyou so much.
Hi Emilia, thank YOU so much for your very kind comments about the book. So glad to know you enjoyed it! And please send our thanks to your daughter and her friend! :-)
Thank you Bob, I've just read the book and loved it. It's now on my list of must-reads for my partners and team leaders. Anyone who loved reading "The Science of Getting Rich" by Wallace D Wattles will do well to trade it in for "The Go-Getter".
+Shaun Lindbergh Shaun, please forgive me for the long-delayed response to your very thoughtful comments. Just seeing your kind comments right now. I'm a huge fan of Wallace D. Wattles book, SOGR so I suggest people read that one, as well. And, please know how VERY grateful I am for your very kind words!
One of the best business books I have ever read. I literally could not put this book down. The lessons are powerful and the stories are compelling. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to succeed.
Bob, this might be the one for my therapist, but I'm sure you've heard this before... I love the book and this principle, but I'm struggling with feeling "safe" when applying it. I think I've been conditioned to think that by doing "stuff" for free for other people I may be taken advantage of, I'm undervaluing myself, which in turn means that I'm not worthy, not enough. I feel like my ego wants to protects myself with high prices for my services, but my heart would like to give.
Hi June, thank you for your question. Please know that operating as a "Go-Giver" is not about giving your products/services away for free, and it's certainly not about being taken advantage of. It's simply about understanding that focusing on brining immense value to others (and there are many ways to do this in the course of building a business relationship) is both very fulfilling as well as very financially profitable. If you noticed in the video, the accountant charged a very healthy and profitable fee. And you probably noticed that all of the mentors in the story are very prosperous. Go-Givers tend to actually charge at the higher end of the scale because their focus is on the immensely high value they provide rather than on low price. There are many ways to give that not only do not harm you, but instead serve everyone involved. I hope this helps. Thank you again.
+Fi Bendall G'day, FI. Thank you very much for your kind comment. And, yes, Ian's a great guy. Doing a fantastic job of spreading The Go-Giver message in Australia!
I just finished reading it and I know this is besides the point. But I can't think about Joe without seeing John Krazinski playing him! Especially in 2007. He'd have been Soo perfect for that role
Yeh I heard the audio version a few weeks ago and enjoyed every minute of if , its an eye opener and certainly changes your way of thinking , really inspiring, Great Book :)
Bob and I want to thank Erik, Summer, Anthony and the rest of the team at The Draw Shop for helping us create this awesome video overview of "The Go-Giver"! Let us know what you think.
Bob, This is a great video!! It is currently the most popular post on my blog!! Keep the positive messages coming, we certainly need them in this current environment we are challenged with.
Hi Amy, thank you for taking the time to comment, and for your question. Sounds like you really want to sell the right way. In answer to your concern, there's nothing about selling that requires one to be aggressive or pushy. Actually, just the opposite. Selling, by definition, is simply 'discovering what the other person needs, wants, or desires...and helping them to get it." When you ask questions (with serving them in mind) you'll more easily discover the answers that will correctly guide the process. And, only when you have discovered those answers are you in a position to match the benefits of your product or service with what *they* are looking to accomplish. As you can see, nothing about that should ever be aggressive or pushy. Actually, aggressiveness and pushiness in the sales process will most likely turn the other person right off to you. So, be yourself, my friend. Sounds like you have the heart of service. So go out there and through focusing on providing value to others, touch lots of lives with exceptional value. I wish you much success!
I like your explanation. That is helpful to me. "discovering what the other person needs,wants or desires & helping them to get it". The book addresses that so smoothly & what plays out is truly inspiring. Many thanks.
What if someone is a good seller and better yet a great closer, Confident successful still feels like this idea is some kind of gimmick or pyramid sale. What if that person is curious about what is being presented. Of course everyone wants more money but more importantly time with whom you love is more important. Putting others needs before yours doesn't make you good a selling in my opinion a good salesperson understands what another person wants to achieve. Just saying.
Hi 101. Thank you for letting me know. I hope you enjoy the book, and I hope you find the read to be quick and easy indeed! :-) (Please send my regards to everyone in your book club!)
I am "Lit "about this book ! I am going to share it with my referral group.I teach a lott of this to them,,But this is in order and just makes sense.My thanks to you. Owner of springs referral network . Colorado springs co.
Great video Makes perfect sense and reminds me of The Relationship Edge. I was initially drawn in by your LinkedIn profile and wanted to look deeper. I'd love to connect and chat.
Is this a pyramid scheme? Are you recruiting people to sell a curriculum? Is this linked to Amway? I was a little skeptical when someone I knew handed me this book and told me they had a mentor who would love to grab coffee with me. I’ve read similar stories of people getting sucked into something that sounds great and has great info but actually gets you nowhere because you make money by recruiting other people. Just a curious human.
Hi, thank you for your question. No, to paraphrase Freud (though I'm not really sure he actually said the quote being paraphrased), "sometimes a book is just a book." In other words, it's not part of or associated with any type of business, direct sales or otherwise, aside, of course, from the respective businesses owned by the coauthors. From what we understand many different companies in many different fields utilize the book as an educational tool for their employees, sales teams, and customers (for which the coauthors are both honored and grateful) but there is no formal tie-in with any companies.
I am glad that i read a good book but as @bob burg mentioned it was used by a recruiter related to network marketing to build entrepreneurs, i dont know how true its actually works but after reading the book i felt its worth a try.Eager to read more books related to finance.please suggest if u have anything on mind.
This book has been in my library for several years and I go back to it again and again. Now my children are embracing the messages in this book. A gift in my family, business and life!

Thank you, Arlene. I appreciate your kind feedback!
this still sounds like a sales tactic.& what if youre not an agressive person& dont really want to be in the obvioys way of pushy sales😕
Hi Amy, thank you for taking the time to comment, and for your question. Sounds like you really want to sell the right way. In answer to your concern, there's nothing about selling that requires one to be aggressive or pushy. Actually, just the opposite. Selling, by definition, is simply 'discovering what the other person needs, wants, or desires...and helping them to get it." When you ask questions (with serving them in mind) you'll more easily discover the answers that will correctly guide the process. And, only when you have discovered those answers are you in a position to match the benefits of your product or service with what *they* are looking to accomplish. As you can see, nothing about that should ever be aggressive or pushy. Actually, aggressiveness and pushiness in the sales process will most likely turn the other person right off to you. So, be yourself, my friend. Sounds like you have the heart of service. So go out there and through focusing on providing value to others, touch lots of lives with exceptional value. I wish you much success!
I like your explanation. That is helpful to me. "discovering what the other person needs,wants or desires & helping them to get it". The book addresses that so smoothly & what plays out is truly inspiring. Many thanks.
Thank YOU, Emilia. I greatly appreciate your kind words, and so glad to know you enjoyed the book! Much gratitude!
What if someone is a good seller and better yet a great closer, Confident successful still feels like this idea is some kind of gimmick or pyramid sale. What if that person is curious about what is being presented. Of course everyone wants more money but more importantly time with whom you love is more important. Putting others needs before yours doesn't make you good a selling in my opinion a good salesperson understands what another person wants to achieve.
Just saying.
This is awesome. Definitely sharing with my networks!
Going to a book club next week to review your book. I'm hoping its a quick and easy read :)

Mak from Malaysia start reading now
This book is the strongly recommended by a very successful businessman from Amway Thailand
Honored to know that. Thank you for sharing that with me!
I hope you enjoy it, Mak! Thank you!
Bob Burg @ninoy mungkalarungsi
Is this a pyramid scheme? Are you recruiting people to sell a curriculum? Is this linked to Amway? I was a little skeptical when someone I knew handed me this book and told me they had a mentor who would love to grab coffee with me. I’ve read similar stories of people getting sucked into something that sounds great and has great info but actually gets you nowhere because you make money by recruiting other people. Just a curious human.
Hi, thank you for your question. No, to paraphrase Freud (though I'm not really sure he actually said the quote being paraphrased), "sometimes a book is just a book." In other words, it's not part of or associated with any type of business, direct sales or otherwise, aside, of course, from the respective businesses owned by the coauthors. From what we understand many different companies in many different fields utilize the book as an educational tool for their employees, sales teams, and customers (for which the coauthors are both honored and grateful) but there is no formal tie-in with any companies.
I am glad that i read a good book but as @bob burg mentioned it was used by a recruiter related to network marketing to build entrepreneurs, i dont know how true its actually works but after reading the book i felt its worth a try.Eager to read more books related to finance.please suggest if u have anything on mind.
