It’s Time We Change How Success Is Measured, & Become Real Examples Of “Love-Based Leadership”… (Why Did I Give Away $25,000?)

Today’s video is a very dear one to my heart.  And frankly… you must watch it. Click the play button below now…

Get the Flash Player to see the wordTube Media Player.

There are several points made in this video that I know will help you ultimately live a life of TOTAL & TRUE fulfillment.

The ability to “Equally Give Exactly As You Receive” is one of the most powerful traits you could ever develop on your road to being a GENUINELY successful human being.  I’m not talking just financially here… I’m talking about becoming a SUCCESSFUL HUMAN BEING.

I would like to change how we all view leadership.

I would like status not to be associated with the shiny stuff you get, or how much money you make, or who’s got the nicest what…

But instead lets change it so the things we IDOLIZE are how much are you GIVING, how much LOVE do you have in your heart, how much are you dedicated to doing something “outside of yourself” for the people, and planet, which desperately needs it right now.

Lets change the ENTIRE paradigm my friends.  Lets go beyond just getting what we “want”… through this process of success… and actually enter into a HIGHER REALM of living for humanity.  A humanity our world honestly hasn’t seen or known in thousands of years except for a few “Shining” examples… which are to far and to thin.

I’m saying we ALL step into this roll.  I’m saying we make the choice to be the LEADERS of the future, and change what’s cool from “getting” to GIVING.

Oh yea… and the only reason to do any of this isn’t for a new kind of ‘status’, it’s not for a new kind of ‘win’… it’s simply because THAT’S what the heart wants to do.  It’s simply because it’s the RIGHT damn thing to do, when your heart is actually filled with love.

To me… we are ALL at the beginning. We are ONLY getting started.  The time to change the paradigm of leadership is NOW, &  I plan on spending my life working towards this goal.  I want to spend my life building a bigger and bigger organization capable of giving more and more and more as each year passes by.  That’s my life’s dream… my life’s work.  And I’m going to make sure it happens till the very last breath I breathe.

If you take anything from today’s message… it’s FIND YOUR CALLING.  Find what gets you out of bed each morning and is beyond just yourself.  It’s beyond just you, and your family, and you getting everything you want.

Find a deeper calling.  Find something that moves your SPIRIT from a level that can only be moved when you’re focused on something BIGGER & completely outside yourself.  Trust me… find this calling & life will make far more sense than it ever has.

And just to clarify… there’s nothing wrong with a nice car, a nice house, and getting what you want.  It’s all beautiful, it’s all fun, it’s all life.

It’s just that there’s “More” to the story.  And unfortunately many of the successful people I meet and know, and many of the people I meet & know who WANT more success… Never seem to make it past phase 1.  They never seem to get out of the “Me” mode… where it’s all about them.

The funny thing is though… life REALLY begins to take on a whole new level of freedom as soon as “ME” mode… is left behind.  And once you taste that freedom… all other freedom pities in comparison. There’s simply nothing else as fulfilling…

So again, I want to THANK every single one of you that made today’s video possible.  I want to thank Mike Dillard for his WWN contest.  I want to thank the 700 customers who supported us… because it’s because of YOU that we were able to help HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of people today.  It’s through you we were able to accomplish our true goal… of steadily improving life on this planet & like a “Global Good Father”… making sure we take care of ALL as much as we can.

It’s seriously amazing what we’re going to be able to create together as the years continue on… THANK YOU.  You have no idea how much I appreciate every single one of you, and how SERIOUS I am about this. :)

We’ll speak more soon…

Yours In Life,
Jonathan Budd

P.S. If you want to spread the good word share this with your friends.  We need to collectively raise the vibration of “GIVING” on this planet… and change the paradigm of leadership from “how much you can get” to “HOW MUCH CAN YOU GIVE!!!”. :) Lets do it…

    I must say how truly inspiring, heart felt and moving this was. This hit home for me more than you know! My entire purpose for the last few years was to get in a position to help as many as I can achieve financial freedom and that opened a much wider door to me in the way of my vision.

    My vision and purpose for all that I do is to be able to give back to this world in every way I possibly can. Especially Moms and Woman which I truly see a need of everyday when I am speaking on the phone with them or through my sites.

    To be able to give back more than you receive is ultimately the most rewarding Life Purpose you can have. To be thankful that you do have clean water, a roof over your head and food to eat is the root to being thankful for even more.

    We must love what we already have, be thankful for it and live in the moment of having it because in this life we can achieve so much more just from being thankful for what we already have in the first place….

    What a beautiful video, you inspired my life’s purpose ten times more and I truly am so very thankful for what you share because you are passing along a message that will change the world.

    Thank you Jonathan! You truly touched my heart and I appreciate you! :)

    OMG JB! I have to admit I was a little put off that you weren’t getting back to me about my article, but Emily got in touch with me and I totally understand BUT, I just went through all the comments on this post and I am completely floored!

    I knew you were onto a good thing and we are totally aligned in that regard, well sort of anyway (you have a much bigger vision for your business than I do but your vision fits perfectly with mine in regards of mobilizing people to do great things..). What I did not expect was the level of response your message created!

    You have touched a chord with many, many people my friend and as I perceived, and read a few times already – you are indeed an old soul – wise beyond your earthly years!

    My hat is off to you, sir for inspiring the masses such as you have and my message to them is that they don’t have to be rich and donate large sums of money to make a difference. They don’t have to wait to be wealthy or to have a profitable business to start making change…A simple and effective way to be a part of this shift is simply to rethink your purchasing decisions : choose to support those who are already dedicated to making a difference and indirectly, you will be too!

    Living with Purpose. Live Fulfilled.

    Dear Jonathan, you have chosen some fantastic organazations and have shared some greate visions! What you say and do is so right, and it ressonates with my thoughts and wishes for my life and the rest of the world. With my meager resourses I am supporting some good organizations, like the neutral “Doctors without boarders” who travel and work in conflict zones, but I feel that what I do is not enough.

    What is driving me now is the wish to do more, especially for a maya couple that I met in a poor village in Guatemala in 1990/91, and who had dedicated their life to school- development. A Norwegian friend, Anne Gitte, who was the only person who supported them then, gave me their name, and the name of their village and their newly established school. None of us are christian, but we still feel that the work that this couple has been doing and sacrificing a lot for, is so important that we must secure it’s continuation.

    Ester and Emilio are great persons, that I know personally.
    The school builder and drifter, Emilio, is a Tsutuhil maya from the same village of San Pedro la Laguna (that is the big and beautiful lake of Atitlan), who respects the maya culture there, in spite of working as an evangelical pastor in the evening. His wife Ester is a teacher and the school principal. She speaks english, is beautiful and caring, and uses maya stories, collected by the school children at home, in the school teaching.

    Ester and Emilio belong to the great and mostly poor , majority population of mayas (except for some lower middle class members), in the new and fragile Guatemalan nation and democracy that was born after the peace agreement in Oslo (Norway) in 2006. Ester and Emilio have three children at the age of 17 to 23.

    Shortly before I came to San Pedro in 1990/91, Anne Gitte had been there for the first time and experienced that the village of San Pedro was surrounded by soldiers from the Guatemmalan army. Before the peace agreement, the military used to kidnapp young maya boys all over the country and alienate them to their community, by educating them as soldiers and giving them economic priviledges. At that time many children came hungry to school, and were unable to consentrate themselves about learning.

    In 1990/91 I met some politicians on the boat to San Pedro, who were doing an election campaign in the area. Today there are still many poor maya villages in this and other areas of Guatemala that lack cuality primary schools and highschools alltogether. Transportation is scarse and expencive for poor families, who barely can afford to send some of their children to primary school.

    Maya students I talked to in the second largest city of Quetzaltenango, said that very few young mayas managed to take higher education there and in the capital of Guatemala City, because they lack money and experience a cultural shock. It is still difficult for many of them.

    In addition to the unversity arts education in Solola, at the most touristic side of Lake Atitlan, further decentralizatin of the countrys university education has recently improved the mayas possibilities to get a professional education. They still need local highscools in order to be able to take advantage of the new possibilities, though.

    Therefore, and because of the growing tourism, inflation and drug trafficking, and the growing unemployment, drug abuse and criminality, amongst young mayas who are unable to participate in the economic growth, Ester and Emilio have dedicated themselves to establishing and running new highschools in other villages, like the poor village of Panyebar, in addition to the one in San Pedro.

    Once a year, before Christmas, Emilio also drives a truck filled with clothes and other things, from the people of the now more touristified and wealthy San Pedro, to remote, forgotten and utterly poor maya villages. Ester and the teachers walk there in groups of five, and come with things and activities that chear up the children.

    I have been to a remote maya village with lots of shotholes in the sentral buildings, and seen the big child stomachs that results from poverty and malnouragement, myself. If a maya family doesn’t have chicken or a peace of soil to grow beans on, they eat only the sacred mais that grows everywhere. Small coffe plantations and reffineries, and traditional cloth dying and embroidered tekstiles, were amongst the few economic sources of maya men and women.

    Ester and Emilio’s lack of official support, and dependency on unstable resources from local private persons and organizations abroad, forced them out of the school- building they rented in the nineties. The only solution was to build a school around their own house. They have now lived for many years with the noice of the school activities around them, from early morning to late in the evening.

    Only since 2006, Ester and Emilio have been able to take out a salary for themselves and slowly build a new family house in the outskirts of the village. They have also been fortunate enough to be able to rent a house for their children in Guatemala City, so that they can take the education they want. Now the school project is again threatened economically. Ester and Emilio therefore stopped taking out their own salary three months ago.

    In 2008 my friend Anne Gitte came to San Pedro with a professional Norwegian film maker, who made some beautiful short films about the area and the schools. Here you can see the school “Escuela Evangelica de Bethel” in San Pedro la Laguna and Panyebar (under construction), and hear Emilio, Ester and two teachers talk about their work. All the teachers are local, and Ester has made the whole school community greet each other with a kiss and hug, because many of the children get too little physical contact at home.

    The films can be seen at the net address: guatemala schools.no. There is a bank account at the bottom of one of the written pages, for those who want to support the project. The account is administered by Anne Gitte in her spear time, at no cost.

    Enjoy the films and another possibility to help!

    You have inspired me from this day forward to be blessed for living in this great country of ours and appreciate the family I have.
    You have also inspired me to work much harder towards my goals so I may too give back to those that need it the most.

  16. You are wise beyond your years young Mr. Budd!!! Giving back is one of my ‘whys’ for wanting to be successful in network marketing. I literally can’t wait to get to the point where I can start helping my favourite charities. The charities that you have chosen are all great charities that truly make a difference. Making a difference is the number one reason I am now involved in network marketing. I loved this video and completely agree with your Love Based Leadership philosophy. I know that you will realize your vision of building a multi-billion dollar organization because you are doing it for absolutely the right reasons. Wishing you all the best!!

I’ve been spending so much time learning from you, but I think it’s time to “GET IN THE GAME!” so we can make this happen! Having the finances to GIVE BACK is going to be rewarding in and of itself.
