It’s a principle well worth repeating: giving out as much as you can will reward you eventually. This isn’t about immediate returns, but a long-term investment in your efforts and your community.
The key is consistency and patience:
- Be patient: Rewards seldom appear overnight.
- Head down, keep at it: Focus on your craft and commitment.
- Go through with what you do and share: Deliver on your promises and share your insights freely.
However, generosity should not be confused with boundless availability. It is equally crucial to also draw a clear line in the sand for those who approach you with exploitative goals. Protect your energy and your value.
