Give to Get to Give

There's Giving, and There's Getting Got

In Give to Get to Give, Dr. Randolf Dorcey shares a down-to-earth version of investment counsel that is simple, and yet deeply profound. Steering clear of the typical investment jargon one might hear from financial advisors, Dorcey drives home several captivating points for readers. The first of these is that there is a difference between advice and counsel. Advice is free, but counsel comes from a place of wisdom and expertise. Along with this, Dorcey emphasizes the importance of earmarking the percentage of income that will go to one's investment. And when this step is taken, it is imperative to find a financial counselor that will actively manage one's account and thus continue to grow one's investment. Dorcey's whole principle of "give to get to give" flows from a lifetime of experience and over thirty years in the financial industry. He's witnessed first hand the benefits of giving to others. But unlike many financial advisors, Dorcey believes the idea of giving to get is incomplete. This, he believes, results in relationships that are built on manipulation. It's using people to achieve a result. Instead, Dorcey shares that real giving is done with a true heart of generosity. Yes, getting is important, and Dorcey offers his readers many ways for readers to do so. But getting is only ultimately fulfilling when it is held loosely in one's hand and is used for the betterment of others. "
