Click to watch Thach and Matthew explain the game.
How to Play The Contribution Game:
Set an intention for yourself.
Forget about your intention.
Connect deeply with other people you meet. Discover their current goal, dream or project and what they need to accomplish it.
Contribute by offering referrals, connections, advice, suggestions, insights that could help (if you are not sure how to help, listen attentively and express support for their goals and dreams). Acknowledgment helps us all.
Watch miracles occur in your life.
Objectives and Benefits of The Contribution Game:
To become someone who’s goals and dreams materialize automatically as a function of the incredible good will you have created in the world..
To bring about incredible good fortune for yourself by being of self-enhancing service to others.
To become a very effective and influential person in the world.< li>
To create advocates who pledge their support to you and your dreams and aspirations.
To amass karmic brownie points and ascend to the ultimate state of happiness, joy and peace; wanting nothing and yet having everything you desire come to you in an easy, effortless and enjoyable fashion.
What Contribution Is:
Introducing them to someone.
Telling them about a service that you know and trust.
Giving them information that will move them forward.
With their permission, coaching them.
With their permission, brainstorming with them.
Making a promise to do something for them when the game is over.
Introducing them to someone in the room/online that you know could benefit them and move them forward.
Advocating them to others .
What Contribution Is Not:
Contribution is not asking “How can I help you?” Instead consider asking “What do you need to take the next step in making your dream/goal/project happen?”< li>
Contribution is not selling your product or service to other participants in the game.
Contribution is not giving your product or service as an unstated bribe to get the other person to give you something of theirs that you have identified in the discovery process.
Contribution is not breaking agreements that you have in your life in order to contribute. You must be able to give without any concern for your personal well being
Contribution is not putting yourself at risk.
Contribution is not making promises you can’t keep.< li>
Contribution is not trying to look good to the person you are contributing to.
Contribution is not misrepresenting yourself to the person you are contributing to.
Contribution is not making promises that will make another part of your life not work
In other words you do what authentically feels good and you give what you can authentically give out of a commitment to self-enhancing service with no strings attached.
