If you wake up deciding what you want to give versus what you’re going to get, you become a more successful person. In other words, if you want to make money, you have to help someone else make money.

Simmons frames success as fundamentally relational: prosperity follows from creating value for others rather than fixating on personal gain. The “give vs. get” contrast echoes a service-oriented ethic common in entrepreneurship—money is treated as a byproduct of solving someone else’s problem, expanding their opportunities, or increasing their earnings. The second sentence makes the principle concrete by tying wealth to enabling another person’s wealth, implying that sustainable profit depends on mutual benefit (customers, partners, employees, audiences). The quote also functions as a daily discipline (“wake up deciding”), suggesting that mindset and intention shape long-term outcomes as much as talent or luck.
