As you may or may not know, I have signed on to be one of four co-hosts for the TVPG, Get More Business, Radio Show. Last week on the March 3rd episode, we discussed Free Publicity and ways to achieve it. One of the things that we talked about is volunteerism.
I can't speak highly enough about the benefits of volunteering. As a lifelong volunteer, I already know the benefits to my attitude and heart. What I didn't realize, until I became a business owner, is that my volunteer work would have a great impact on my business growth. I have shared an experience in my TVPG Radio show Blog Post about a Fashion Show that Staged SO Right co-sponsored/hosted with a fellow business owner. (I posted in Active Rain all about it as it was happening and you can read about that here.) It was a tremendous undertaking whose benefits far outweighed any negatives. Hopefully it will spur you on to create a similar situation in your community. Not only will your community benefit, but you will watch your business blossom. It is a win-win for all involved.
Giving of your time and talent is a wonderful gift to give. I encourage you to try it if you haven't already. Often times when we see that there is no immediate paycheck involved, we start thinking negatively. Leave a little room for possibilities and watch amazing things unfold.
I would love for you to share your stories about the benefits of volunteering for your business. I love to hear win-win stories and look forward to reading yours!
