There are three types of people – who are you?

According to Adam Grant, the New York Times best-selling author of “Give and Take,” there are three types of people in the world.

Givers. Takers. And Matchers.

Which one are you?

And does it matter?

As you’ll soon see, the answer is YES.

The most successful people in the world are Givers. But some of the least successful people are also givers.

What separates the two?

In addition to talking about these three types of people, we also cover:

• Why some givers succeed while others fail
• How using this one phrase will help you get more donations (this works for non profits and crowd-funding)
• The ONE thing you should consider before you help anyone
• And more.

When you’re done, share two separate stories in the comments:

1. Tell me about a time when you offered someone help – and it paid off for you and them.

2. Tell me about another time when you offered someone help – and it came back to bite you.
