384 Thoughtful Giving with Mindy Gibbins-Klein
Are you a 1% giver? How much of your income goes towards charitable giving and how much time do you spend on self-reflection? Having sold her publishing company, speaker, author and multi-award-winning entrepreneur Mindy Gibbins-Klein found herself blessed with more time to reflect on what really mattered to her. In 2020, Mindy recognised that whilst her income had gone up, her charitable giving had not kept up. She suspected she was not alone and so created a way for others to be more mindful of how they could support charities through thoughtful giving.
KEY TAKEAWAY
“Many people think they have to have everything all figured out and this stops them because they try to control everything. They have a closed mind. They're not open to new interactions and magical things happening and they simply don't see it because they think this is the way it has to happen.”
