Five Ways to Be More Generous Through Your Business
One of the themes for my New Year's resolutions from last
year was to become more generous. I was motivated by wanting to
break a general feeling of entrepreneurial financial anxiety, as
well as to begin fulfilling a childhood dream of becoming "a
philanthropist." (Big word for a little kid, but I was
precocious.) Well, after reviewing my year, I can say that I
really did make big progress. Sometimes it was challenging,
especially spending money more freely than I have in the past.
But you know what? I don't feel that "tightness" that I used to
experience, worrying about the small stuff. And I feel really
good about running a corporation in a way that represents my
values.
If you're also feeling the call towards increasing your
abundance & generosity through your work, here are a few ideas
that I hope will inspire you:
Donate a set percentage of income. This is also known as
"tithing," and is what I personally do. Each month I donate 10%
of my income to various non-profit groups. I started doing this
a few years ago, but only at 1% of my net income. Then each
month I would increase by one percent until I got to 10%. Now,
I'm starting to tithe from my gross income. It's a stretch, but
the kind of stretch that feels good for the soul.
Provide hands-on help, also known as "service tithing",
this is where you give your time & expertise to a cause that's
important to you. If you've got a mental job, it can feel great
to get your hands dirty and donate some physical labor, such as
working for nature conservancy or building construction. But
don't overlook your business skills as a powerful donation,
because a lot of non-profit groups really need administrative
work to stay in business.
Give away your goods or services. Many charities host
auctions as a way to generate cash. Not only is
this a way to
help the charity, but it can serve to promote your business in a
positive light. Just for the record, it's important to know that
donated services are not deductible, only tangible merchandise
is considered a write off. So check with your accountant on how
to handle the paperwork.
Make people feel special. Generosity is more than helping
the less fortunate. It's acting with warmth and abundance to
everyone around you. I try to remember birthdays, or send a card
when I know someone is having a tough time. At the end of the
year, I give gifts or tips to my various support people such as
business consultants, stylists, cleaners, and pet-sitter. Random
acts of generosity & appreciation can really make someone's
day--and yours, too.
Create generous contracts. As a business owner, you've
really got to watch your bottom line. But you also have to know
when to count your pennies and when to be the bigger person. For
example, you might have a strict no-money back cancellation
policy to keep yourself from being taken advantage of (a good
thing.) But if someone has a genuine emergency, consider making
an exception. Compassion and understanding are gifts of your
spirit and make the business world a better place.
There is an old spiritual adage that says if there's
something you want more of in life, then that is exactly what
you need to give away. So think about the areas you would like
more abundance, and use your business as a vehicle for becoming
more generous in those ways. It will come back to you.
