I have always wanted to look back at what I have accomplished in life and be satisfied. I sometimes try to figure out what would completely satisfy my philanthropical wants. I feel that giving is important. I do not mean always giving to just poor people. I feel that people from all walks of life can benefit in different ways with what I have to offer. Rory, dave and myself talk regularly on how we can make a difference. Our successes have led us in a direction that has proven to us that we can make a difference in many different ways.

Yeah, we donate 5% of our gross income in GetMyHomesValue.com to different charities, do Habitat for Humanity, I personally contribute to other charities that my wife and I believe in, give money to the local high school band doing a fund raiser, etc. The list goes on. Donating these monies is empowering, but not as empowering as helping a businessperson become more successful so they can pass on their new found wisdom, education and income producing abilities to give them an edge so they can in turn feel comfortable to give more in terms of time and money to those who need it.

I think when people donate, they donate based on excess monies that they have. If we can help people achieve excess, then we can make a difference. Knowledge is power. Knowledge makes a difference. Nobody can ever take knowledge away from you.
