I get so much joy when I hear how my actions, no matter how big or small, have made a difference in someone’s life or brightened their day. My gift is knowing that I helped another person. As Morgan Freeman said, “We change the world with one random act of kindness at a time.”
FOCUS ON GENEROSITY
Everything we do in life is a choice, and I choose to focus my energy on generosity. We only get one chance in this life, and I want mine to be of more value than money or success. I define success as how many lives I can help change for the better. My father helped many people get degrees, rise from one economic status to another, earn promotions, or even own companies.
When people ask how I came to build Palmetto Infusion and The Carolus Company into successful businesses, I always say that I have always focused on straightforward human emotions or qualities. Kindness, caring, lots of laughter, and extreme generosity. These are the priceless factors to consider when investing.
I have been very intentional about investing in people throughout my career and helping when I can, which has transformed my quality of life for the better.
As Warren Buffett said, “Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone else planted a tree a long time ago.”
