The Go-Giver vs. The Go-Getter

 Context

I have recently read the following books and trying to compare here between The Go-Giver vs. The Go-Getter with respect to life, business, and relationships, etc...

By the way, both are amazing and mind-blowing nice reads with a different perspective on life, relationships, and especially on the businesses, etc. and yet, I wanted to share here the key takeaways and the impressive changes one can make to their perspectives.

The Go-Giver

The Go-Giver talks more about others than you/yourself in a given situation, and presses more on the following 5 laws.

1. The Law of Value — Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment.
2. The Law of Compensation — Your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them.
3. The Law of Influence — Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people’s interests first.
4. The Law of Authenticity — The most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself.
5. The Law of Receptivity — The key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving.

Here are the 3 most inspiring lessons about focusing on others more than yourself:

1. Develop a go-giver mentality to initiate your journey toward unimaginable success and enjoyment in what you do.
2. Product improvements have limits, but the power of improving customer experience is infinite.
3. Being authentic is the foundation for people having a positive experience with your business that will have a lasting impact on those you serve.

The Go-Getter 

The Go-Getter talks more about you to hustle and focusses more on the motto of ''it shall be done!" and "getting things done!" along with a lot of emphasis on "your own faith" to achieve success.

Here are the 4 most inspiring lessons about focusing on yourself than others while hustling:

1. Believe in yourself
2. Act with determination
3. Don’t take “No” for an answer
4. Tell yourself “It Shall Be Done.”

Final take: 

Both go-getter and go-giver are important in anyone's career, business, and life, etc. The go-getter is good for the short term for a  limited span of network with their accomplished successes but not for the long term, whereas the go-giver with the right mix of more authenticity and overall positive experiences to a cause works very well for the long term with elevated successes and happiness for broader networks. Especially, the go-giver works well for maintaining long-lasting relationships. Also, the go-givers do more sales than the go-getters in any business. In a logical way, one has to work like a go-giver but that doesn't mean that go-getters are bad, here the main perspective to understand is go-giver is an old-time go-getter and revolutionized and transformed as go-giver at heart, but one's mind acts like go-getter only to get the shit done.
