I really love the term Creative Reciprocity and the quote by Rabbi Lawrence Kushner. You had a piece of the puzzle that I needed today. Thanks.

Thanks everyone for the lovely comments and response to the post – karma in action indeed!

@Julie – I love your idea of karma being “doing things I love with love”. Beautiful.

@Jeffery – great to hear from you. I am a true believer that the world is shifting and authentic business as you put it will be the competitive advantage so working in this way makes complete sense for everyone.

This is brilliant Mark! Thanks for sharing. I love the fact that there are other business minded people like yourself and Sinead who still remember what life’s really all about and actually inspire others to pursue more than just fame and fortune. It’s inspiring to remember that business can also give back to the world in a positive way and make someone’s corner of the world a better place!

Sinead~This is a delightful and refreshing angle. Thanks. It puts “profit” in perspective of deep relationship – which is what authentic business is ultimately about, isn’t it? Deep relationship?

Your work at 8fold looks fantastic, too. Stay in touch. I’d love to learn more about your book and help spread the word.

And thanks to Marc for soliciting this post.

See you in the woods,
Jeffrey

I don’t want to go into my situation in detail, but I think entirely in terms of looking for ways to give things of value to those who wouldn’t normally have access to the sort of things I can offer. This includes volunteerism, random acts, cognitive apprenticeship, often anonymous.

I explained “karma” to a friend and she just didn’t get it – especially in business. However, I’ve found that I always get back more than I give.

As to how I give – I enjoy writing, so I sometimes write for free, or at reduced rates, to help a business I adore get going. I also enjoy cooking, so I cook dinner for neighbors after they’ve had a new baby, surgery, etc.

I think of it as doing things I love with love.

I’ve found that by doing these things I’m happier – and my business grows through referrals. Giving makes me happy. I think that’s true for most people.

The vlogging challenge sounds fantastic! I want to experiment more with video, will maybe have to do something similar myself. Good luck finding someone experienced to work with, too; I know that can be a slightly daunting step to take, but for me it’s always been a very worthwhile one.

I’ve never tried writing for theatre, Leanne, but it sounds like it would be a great way to develop story-telling skills. Congratulations on your contest win!

That last point of trying something new is the one that resonates the most with me now, and is also something I’ve recently learned a lot from. I think of myself as a writer, but I recently took on a 30 day vlogging challenge and it was a huge boost of confidence and renewed creative energy to be making video, editing, speaking instead of writing, and writing little scripts instead of my usual.

I know when I feel stuck nothing helps to bust me out of that like doing something completely different. Great list. I’ve been thinking of looking for a “professional” or someone with more experience than myself to get some feedback from, this post is a good reminder for me to look into that.
