Are generous people more successful? Cultural idioms like it’s a “dog-eat-dog-world” and “nice guys finish last” may have you thinking that while generosity is the “right” way to be, it doesn’t always pay-off in the end. And that somehow the “ends justifying the means” is the way to get to the top of the success scale.
Well, we have a contrary belief to the worldview of generosity and, as it turns out, there are studies that reveal that generosity does, in fact, lead to success!
Be sure to tune-in to this week’s short episode of The Money Guy Show to find out just how successful some generous people are and how they get there while others do not.

- Why being generous makes people happier according to a 2017 University of Zurich research study
- What Adam Grant, author of Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success found in his research and why givers are actually at the very top of the success scale
- Why some givers wind up on the bottom as pushovers and doormats while others have incredible success
- The 7 ways that givers can find success according to Forbes Senior Staff Editor Susan Adams
- How to use your passion and generosity to give you purpose and drive
