Doing Good vs. Doing Well

Most people are focused on doing well.

Back in 1984, I opened a Hard Rock Cafe as an assistant General Manager and ran the place every night.

It was an amazing experience. We had well over 200 people in line between 2:00 pm in the afternoon and 2:00 am at night every day.

One Saturday night, I went to the owner; Isaac Tigrett, and said "it's amazing how well we are doing. Tonight, we broke every sales record!"

His response caught me off-guard.

He said "Brandon, I'm worried. Can we take care of the customers the right way? I want to give all of them great food and having so many people in line concerns me. I want us to be significant for years to come, and not just successful now. I want you to go outside each night and thank everyone for waiting. Offer them soup when it's cold and iced tea when it's hot."

So several times a night, I would go out to the line and serve them iced tea or soup. Some nights it snowed, and some nights it was 95 degrees outside.

Honestly, I wasn't too happy about this at first.

But then, the extra service I provided began to pay off. I started to meet so many people: celebrities, athletes, and more. Just by going outside, I met tons of people and built an amazing database of contacts.

You see, most people are thinking about how to make more money. Some people think "Once I get this promotion, I'll spend more time with my family and get more rest. Maybe then, I'll have a catch with my son."

If you think this way, you're doing it wrong!

Doing good will always lead you to doing well.

NOT the other way around.

  • Being the winner of a multi-million dollar lottery certainly will be a life-changing event for almost every single lottery winner. My name is Mavis Wanczyk from Chicopee, Massachusetts, the famous PowerBall lottery winner of $758 million (£591m). I know many people would wonder how I had won the lottery. Would you believe me if I told you that I did it with spell casting? I met this famous spell caster known as Doctor Odunga and he was the one who did it for me. As shocking as it was to me, my famous comment to the press was “ I’m going to go and hide in my bed.” Never did I believe that Doctor Odunga made me wealthy overnight. If you want to have your chance of winning and becoming very wealthy just like me, contact Doctor Odunga at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com OR WHATS-APP HIM at +2348167159012 and you will be lucky. Thanks for reading and hope to see you at the top
