Even when offered with compassion, traditional charity, which should be only a temporary fix, can often enslave individuals—becoming a poverty trap—if extended into the long term. Instead of focusing on the potential, charity cheats them of using their God-given abilities and talents.
Well, let’s talk about it - we’re right here at Christmas time and it’s a wonderful opportunity to be creative in how we can really help others.
Questions:
1. Hi Dan, I’ve been listening for years and you helped me clarify and achieve my goal of selling 500 paintings in 500 days.
2. Could you remind me how the saying goes: “If you help someone once, they’re grateful. Help them twice they’re ….. Help them a third time they expect it.”
3. I started dabbling in eBay sales and would like to boost it up to be a full-time income. Is that possible?
