#7 - Are you a Giver or a Taker?
Welcome back to the Conquering Constraints podcast! In today’s episode, host Kelly Stacey takes us on an eye-opening journey into the world of givers and takers in business. Inspired by Adam Grant’s book Give and Take and drawing from her own experiences, Kelly explores how being a giver can drive your success – or leave you feeling worn out – depending on how well you set boundaries. She talks about the importance of teaming up with clients and partners who are just as committed, and she warns against takers who might not follow through on their promises. Kelly also stresses the importance of being genuine, encouraging entrepreneurs to give freely but with purpose, making sure their contributions truly help others. If you’re an entrepreneur looking to balance generosity with productivity, this episode offers valuable tips on building meaningful, results-driven relationships.
