If you look at life in terms of exchange, a lot of confusions are blown away. There are four general areas of exchange and they determine how an individual or group will survive.
Criminal Exchange is getting something for nothing and it is a non-viable way of running your life or any business because eventually you will have no one left who will exchange anything with you and you will end up dead or in prison.
Inadequate Exchange is delivering less than is promised. There may be a short term reward for the organization, but the recipient is always disappointed and spreads bad news about the transaction and in the long run this leads to failure of the person or organization. If you look at the history of any failing organization, you will see a history of inadequate exchange with its customers or its staff.
Fair Exchange is delivering what was promised. The recipient is happy and continues to do business with the person or organization. They may even recommend the service to others. The person or company providing fair exchange continues to prosper as long as they maintain a fair exchange with their customers and suppliers.
Exchange in Abundance is where the product or service provided exceeds the expectation of the recipient. The provider does more than he promises and this makes a difference in the life of the recipient. This kind of exchange promotes good will and guarantees long term success for the person or organization providing it. The recipients of this kind of exchange provide rave reviews that lead to more and more business for the provider.
If you look at your life in terms of what you exchange with others, and make sure you provide exchange in abundance, you will enjoy the rewards that come with exceeding other’s expectations. The exchange will be recognized by those who are involved and your life will change in ways you never expected. You will definitely be happier and will have peace of mind.
By focusing on creating abundance in your exchanges, you will banish any concern about scarcity from your life.
