Tip to Stand Out #15: Every Day, Ask Yourself: "How Can I Serve?"
Want to Stand Out? Start By Serving Others
Hey Friends,
Most people wake up thinking: “What can I get today?”
The people who truly stand out? They flip the script.
Instead of asking, “What can I take?” they ask, “How can I serve?”
They don’t chase success—they create impact. And impact attracts opportunities.
Core Lesson:
Serving others builds trust, influence, and real connections.
People naturally remember and support those who genuinely help them.
If you want to stand out, don’t focus on getting more.
Focus on giving more.
Actionable Steps to Serve Daily:
Listen More Than You Speak
The best way to serve is to understand what people actually need.
Pay attention to the struggles and challenges of those around you.
Give Without Expecting in Return
Offer value freely—insights, advice, or help—without looking for an immediate payoff.
Helping people for the sake of it builds long-term goodwill.
Use Your Strengths to Solve Problems
Everyone has something they can offer.
Find ways to use your skills to help someone move forward.
Real-World Example:
Think of Elon Musk.
Before Tesla and SpaceX became massive successes, he focused on solving big problems.
He didn’t start by chasing profits—he started by asking:
“How can I make sustainable energy mainstream?”
“How can I make space travel more affordable?”
By solving problems that mattered to people, he built billion-dollar businesses that changed industries.
Call to Action:
Before today ends, ask yourself: “How can I serve?”
Who can you help?
What value can you provide?
What problem can you solve for someone today?
