How Service Enhances Growth

"Man becomes great exactly in the degree in which he works for the welfare of his fellow-men." -Mahatma Gandhi

Life is all about service, service and more service to others first and to self last. The more you serve others the greater you become. People get into politics to serve their communities. Others get into business to serve customers/clients. In fact, no business is a business if it does not produce something of value for others to benefit from. The more of such service you can render therefore, the more popular you become if you are in public service. But if in business, the more service you render, the more your business grows and the richer you become.

Every business is about service. That is, working for the customer/client more or less. Serving the customer/client comes first then money follows as a consequence. Money is an exchange for service already rendered or to be rendered. When you have no customers/clients to render a service to, surely there is no money to be made. The more service you render therefore, the more money you make. Mr. Ray Kroc advanced this argument more succinctly when he wrote: “If you work just for money, you’ll never make it, but if you love what you’re doing and you always put the customer first, success will be yours.”

Get busy right now because…. “No pains, no gains. To get the prize, you must pay the price.”

Why Every Business Must Render a Service

 “A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business.” ~ Henry Ford

Money is an exchange for a product or service. If you want to succeed in business, you must set out to render a service first and money follows as a consequence. When your business makes nothing but money, you are in a very poor business. A business must first and foremost find a way to make people, shape the environment, and help the economy before it considers making money for the owners. Mr. Ray Kroc advanced this argument more succinctly when he wrote: “If you work just for money, you’ll never make it, but if you love what you’re doing and you always put the customer first, success will be yours.” This is the order of priority our civilization expects.

"There is no investment you can make which will pay you so well as the effort to scatter sunshine and good cheer through your establishment." So says Orison Swett Marden. Your team always likes that and people in the team show appreciation by working harder. When you build your people, they will help you build your business in return. If you make your central policy the building of people, making money becomes a given when the people you have built begin to help build your business. There are limits to what you can do as a person, but what a team can do is limitless. That is more so when the team is well built, dedicated and motivated.
