How awesome does it feel when you give someone a gift and they light up like a Christmas tree? It’s a great feeling, isn’t it?

What I’ve found on my journey and walking alongside other successful people, is that when we look at our unique gifts solely as the medium to income and success…that’s when the door to frustration, overwhelm, and burnout opens wide.

You don’t buy someone a gift and then give it to yourself, do you? That would be weird. But the reality is, we’re doing exactly that when we’re focusing on what our God-given gifts and talents can do for us, not for others.

In today’s episode of Coming Up Clutch™️ with J.R., I summarize the Top 3 nuggets from Monday’s interview with entrepreneur and Nashville-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Willie Shaw. We talked about fulfillment and how it comes more often when we’re using our gifts to bless others.
