Life is about adding value to others.  What you appreciate, appreciates in value.  How do you add value to others?

One of the ways that I add value to others is be creating resources for them.  I speak at churches, youth groups, businesses, schools, etc… in order to inspire and teach principles.  I have had the opportunity to speak all over the country and even internationally.  Communicating is one of my favorite things I do.  I love to motivate and help others discover their gifts, develop their potential, and do great things.

Another way  for me, is to keep this blog updated.  I love to write down my thoughts and hopefully add value to others as they read them.

I am a musician, so leading worship in my church and other places is a way I feel I can add value to others by creating environments for them to connect in God’s presence.  I recorded a full-length worship album with 10 original songs called, “The Reality”.  It is available on my website and on iTunes.

Another way I add value is through leadership development.  I am a certified speaker, trainer, and coach on the John Maxwell Team.  I go into organizations and bring some of the best resources in the leadership industry to help grow leaders.  Everything rises and fall s on leadership, and I mean EVERYTHING.  So I go into organizations and help grow leaders.  In order to grow your business you have to grow your people.

Even my art that I teach others is a way for me to add value.  I love to paint and I love to teach others how to paint, through classes and online video lessons.  I believe everyone should have a hobby, so this is my way to help others create a fun, healthy, and artistic outlet.

Of course writing books is one of my favorite ways to add value to others.  My new book, “The Worship Revolution” has done great and is an incredible resource about what it means to live a life-style of worship.  Many people think the book is about music or some sort of church ritual, but the book is the total opposite of that.  It is a call to know what true worship REALLY is and how to live in out daily.  I have finished my next book and is now in the editing process.  I also, have an ebook that is going to be a free resource for people called, “4 Life Rules To Live By…” And believe it or not I have 2 more books coming down the pipe after that.

One resource I am super excited about is a Phonecast I am hosting on April 8th 7pm-9pm ET about “HOW TO WRITE A BOOK“.  I have had an overwhelming amount of people come to be and ask questions about writing and publishing.  I did not realize how many people want to write a book, yet do not know where to start or what to do once they finish it.  So in response to that I saw a need to add value to others by sharing EVERYTHING I have learned and know about writing.  This is going to be an amazing call that will come with a 6 page handout and links to some of the best stuff out there on writing.  If you are a speaker, blogger, author, journalist, or in any form a communicator this call will be PERFECT for you and is only 29.99 for a conference worth of value.  I would love for you to join in on the call so I can add value to your writing journey or if there is someone you know that would benefit from this let them know about it.  I am going to give my VERY BEST to this call and lay out ALL the secrets and tips to help you get your book into a reality.

So how do you add value to others? What are the resources you will use to impact others? Maybe it is your time, finances, skills, etc…Take what you do and add value to others while you do it.  Everyday is an opportunity to lift others up and spur them along their journey.  Make it a point to impact at least 2-3 people each day through various means.  Wether by word or deed add value to someone else.  Today is a gift, so use it to bless others and you will find that you will be blessed as well.
