What’s the one thing that is holding you back in your life and career? Agent 251, Jason Will, candidly shares his struggles with overvaluing money, alcohol and the fear of not being the leader he needs to be. Pastor Shawn Reine discusses some simple and practical first steps to embracing generosity and investing in others as a way of becoming the best version of ourselves. Implementing the core values of "The Big Give Mindset" can strengthen your personal life and company's culture and environment.

THE BIG GIVE

The Big Give is more than just a financial donation. It's a four-part mindset based on taking the time and energy to make a difference and impact in the lives of the community around you and bringing others on that journey.

1. GIVING UP mindsets and relationships that are dragging us down
2. GIVING BACK - Volunteering and investing in others and communities
3. GIVING FORWARD is paying it forward and inspiring others to make a difference
4. GIVING DOWN the power of mentoring and legacy passed on to others.

THE BIG GIVE - First Steps

1. Better Relationships
Find relationships that challenge you and push back with honesty, truth, and respect. Lose all YES people that surround you, and you will start to see those areas in our lives of weakness that need improvement.

2. Reading & Learning
Leaders aren’t just readers; they are learners. Learners, that frequently ask, "how is what I am learning impacting the decisions and actions and behavior in my life?"

3. Humility
Be open to the fact that there could be a higher power bigger than you. Admit to ourselves that we don't have it figured out and/or have all the answers.

4. Open Your Eyes To Need
Many of us give out of an existing obligation or an emotional pull. Becoming aware and starting to see the needs of others is a transformative behavior to embracing true generosity.
