I interviewed Rabbi Daniel Lapin, author of Thou Shall Prosper: Ten Commandments for Making Money, for my Hypnotic Gold members the other day.
One of the most insightful things Daniel said is that the idea of “giving back” to society after you’ve made a lot money is insulting.
“You didn’t take anything!” he declares.
He totally encourages giving away money, to people or causes you support, but not in giving back money.
“Giving back” implies you took something and need to return it. In Daniel’s worldview, you earned it or created it, but you didn’t take it.
He’s very much in favor of giving away money, though. It’s a Biblical principle, and he as a famous Rabbi knows it, but he also knows it’s good business to give.
“In order to receive, you must first give,” he says.
Give away, but don’t give back.
His Thou Shall Prosper book is excellent. Get it from his site: www.rabbidaniellapin.com

My friend Colin Joss was at Pat O’Bryan’s recent Unseminar 4. He told me about his daughter reading my books, such as The Key. Later, he sent me this picture of her. This is another one that just warms my heart and makes me smile.
Don’t you just love it?

I loved being on Donny Deutsch’s CNBC television show, The Big Idea, last night. If you missed my three minutes of fame, you can see it right here:
If you can’t see the above link to click on it, then you can click on either of these: http://one.revver.com/watch/491047 or www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTYWyVm6NiI
And no, I didn’t have too much coffee before I went on. 🙂
I was told I had three minutes to deliver three hour’s worth of information.
I was also told Donny is a super high energy guy who likes his show buzzing.
So buzz he got.
Every weeknight Donny interviews a wide range of people, from Bill Gates and Donald Trump to newbies to zanies to mom and pops to single moms to, well, you name it.
The show is fast moving, upbeat, and inspiring. Learn about Donny’s The Big Idea at www.cnbc.com/id/15838512/
You must watch it.
This guy rocks!
