Insider's Take

Take-Aways Following a me-first, self-serving philosophy is ultimately unsatisfying and lonely. To serve other people, let go of selfish motives and earn their trust. To reinvent your business to be selfless, you must reinvent yourself. Ask “How can selflessly I help this person?” instead of “What can I get out of this person?” Be bold, and don’t be afraid to make mistakes. A good team will look out for you. Being selfless isn’t the same as being a people pleaser. Keep your word, face even the ugly truths about yourself and demand honesty from your team. Invest in yourself. You’re worth it. Change is inevitable. To grow, embrace it.

Summary
Following a me-first, self-serving philosophy is ultimately unsatisfying and lonely.
Jonathan Keyser vowed at a young age that he would never be poor. He thought the only way to earn money was to be ruthless and determined to win at any cost, even if that meant hurting others. He tried that path working in commercial real estate, but he was miserable. 
When he came to understand that true success springs from serving others, Keyser’s life took a major turn. You, too, can succeed without selling your soul. You should never sell anything again. Your business will sell itself, thanks to your commitment to serving others.
