Today’s Steveism is for those cheapskates:
The only thing that comes for nothing, is nothing!
Like you, I love a bargain – getting something of value for less than I think it’s worth. Yet there’s a time proven biblical principle that as you sow, so shall you reap. In other words, if you sow nothing, you’ll reap nothing.
If you want something, but are willing to pay nothing, then there’s a disconnect best summarised by the wise words I once heard Robert Kiyosaki say, and that I share in this short video:
Instead of being a modern day Scrooge, why not aim to be the opposite, which is generous – in both word and in deed? The blessings of encouragement and abundance that you’ll be sowing are sure to reap rich future returns and will leave those you’ve helped touched, moved and inspired.
The alternative is to want nothing. In which case, aim for nothing, pay nothing, and reap nothing.
Where are you maybe seeking to reap without first sowing? If you’re feeling courageous, share your answer to help others by leaving a comment below.
Until next time, remember that success comes from doing things differently.

Thanks for the reminder Steve. Through a series of property investing incidences I’ve ended up starting an online photography business. To cut a long story short, I was fearful of sharing my knowledge because I thought people would only consume the free info but not be interested in becoming customers. I’m still working through the mindset shift with the help of my mentors and accountability group and am confident that I’ll be able to approach it from the right perspective to get the 10x result I really want.
Thanks Keith.
I’ve found that the more I teach others, the better I understand the concepts myself.
Blessings,

Steve as usual your comments are filled with wisdom. Truly ,whatever we sow love and passion into, whether relationships or business, will reap a harvest . It may not necessarily be monetary but it will always be fulfilling.
Steve, by giving to us your knowledge and expertise ,you are sharing your harvest with us and we are grateful.
Thanks for your encouragement Pam.
It’s a blessing to be a blessing.

Having watched this video I have interpreted the ‘Sow’ reference in not only investments but in education and self-betterment. What instantly came to mind was ‘What happens to those who sow investments without education?’ They may be able to reap benefits but they may not, it isn’t guaranteed. To follow the mantra of the video, sow in your education before you sow in investments and then reap the benefits of your hard work.
Good Luck All
In the absence of skill, there can only be luck.
And no one I know can be lucky all the time.
