An old saying goes, “What you reap is what you sow”. Accordingly, giving is still an act of reaping. In the business world, the medium may not always be monetary, but the principle is still the same. 
Whatever you give as an entrepreneur will be reciprocated in some form. Do not underestimate the patterns of karma. But more than avoiding an unfortunate fate, the act of giving grants the giver so much more than what they let go.
Giving Builds Relationships
Partnership and Trust is a big deal in the business world. Just like in any other relationship, you know who are truly supportive of you when you are at your lowest. Extending help to struggling entrepreneurs will forge new partnerships based on trust and respect. This is what gives lasting reward to the entrepreneur who sincerely gives to others. The needy people you helped could be the ones to catch your back when you are the one in trouble.
Giving Reflects Positively on the Giver
trust and respect
Being a giving entrepreneur is a positive image that puts your business in a good light. And let’s face it; a good image is good publicity. What’s more, being known to give back to the business community and the civilian community often attracts investors. Consider this as a result of the law of attraction. People of the same inclination will be met by circumstances, if not actual intention.
Moving further than that, we as humans naturally like to feel good. Giving to others usually always results in a feeling of self-satisfaction, accomplishment or acknowledgment. This is an example of one of the Universal Benefits of Giving.
Giving Sets Off Waves of Motion
When speaking of the Universal benefits of giving in the business world, the first thing that comes to mind is money. It is probably the easiest thing to give out. It could be in the form of special discounts, buying stocks and shares (although most people would consider this as intervention than charity, in essence this is a form of giving, only with the option to wield control for the benefit of the company), granting sponsorship and giving out cash outright.
Do not think that money spent is a loss. Remember that in business, money moves in a cycle. It needs to be circulated. The movement of money from one form to another, from one hand to another, sets things in constant function. The return of this investment is an active market with all its components working well.
It is important not to fall into a belief that you should only give in order to receive – it must be a genuine act, free from any negative thoughts and ulterior motives. This is the true secret to the Universal Benefits of Giving.
A song that encompasses this is Reach Out (Touch Somebody) by Noiseworks.
Have a wonderful day
