And what happened was fourteen of them made it all the way through. All the community service. B average. The whole spiel. He paid for all of them to go to college. Four of them got their Masters he paid for. One got her PhD. He paid for the whole thing.
And what’s amazing if they look at the outside results he achieves financially, it’s huge numbers. What they fail to see is what’s driving it from within is his ability to give back even more than anyone else would ever expect or imagine him to do.
Last year, I know he fed about 4 million people out of pocket through an organization here in the U.S., where he wrote the check himself every month and he made it a point to help feed 4 million people out of his own pocket.
So people don’t see that. And he rarely talks about it. So I like to brag on behalf of him for it. Not to boast, but just to tell people if you want to see that secret to meaning and purpose, that secret to living, it’s giving. It’s finding a way to support and give more.
And it goes back to that phrase “life supports that which supports life.” When you make your reason why about giving and serving so much more than just yourself, you will have access to tools and knowledge and skills and little insights from life in the Universe around you that will support you in ways you could never imagine.
And that’s something we drive home in the book. And we teach you how to identify your own why and how to connect to it. How to amplify it through different ways we’ve learned over the years. But it’s amazing. When someone taps into that reason why, it will propel you past obstacles that used to seem taller than the great wall. You’ll fly over those things like they’re barely a speed bump, once you find that reason why.
Jack: Well, I think that completely gives the meaning to the title of the book, Live It: Achieve Success by Living with Purpose. And that word “purpose” takes on a whole new meaning when we see what you actually meant by that, rather than just the words. That living with purpose really is the catalyst to the growth, to the success. And it’s not just an important ingredient in that recipe. It is the most important ingredient in that recipe, as far as I’m concerned.
Jairek Robbins, what can folks do to find out more about getting this book, find out more about what you are doing, because you have so many things out there. YouTube videos. So much great content and information. Ted Talks. Some great stage talks that you’ve done. Some incredible stuff.
And just what you’ve delivered here today has been so inspirational. But I think the first things that folks ought to do is check out the book, because it really is very powerful.
What can they do to find out about that?
Jairek: Well, we have a special bonus. There are three places I would send people. #1, LiveItBook.com. That’s our standard book website. You’ll see awesome endorsements about the book from Deepak Chopra, Brian Tracy, Chief Master Sergeant in the U.S. Air Force. We have some great people backing it up. Love the work.
So that’s just the book site.
There’s also a special bonus that we put together – a six-week bonus book club, for people who took action and bought the book right when we put it out. And if you’re reading this, we’ll give you access to that.
So I share all the extra bonus insights and information. And to get access to that, it’s LiveItBook.com/bonus. And that’ll give you access to the bonuses there.
And then the only other place I would send people is to JairekRobbins.com. It has our blog on there. And like you said, every single week we update a new episode of JRC TV. And it has fresh new content on love, relationships, travel, adventure, giving back, making a difference.
And we try to keep that fresh and new and we always listen to people who are writing in and what they’re asking for. And we update that content regularly to ensure, we’re trying to answer some of the deepest life questions to help people be the happiest, healthiest and most fulfilled version of themselves.
Jack: I’ve got to say, you’re absolutely the definition of an influencer, and I want to thank you for taking the time and sharing this information and giving us such deep insight into the book and beyond.
Jairek: Thank you so much for having me. I appreciate it so much. As cool as we are and as much as we’re up to, I’m unbelievably humbled and grateful for people who take time to help us amplify our message to the world. And help our book and our message reach even more people. Because a lot of people need to hear it and we’re obviously on a mission to get it out there.
So I’m incredibly humbled and grateful for you for allowing us to have this space to share this message with the world. And I’m so grateful for every single person who’s listening to this and took the time to tune in and hear what we’re all about.
