Here is a lesson my grandfather told me that has always stuck with me.
"Give to others, because you truly want to help them without worry about what you might get in return. Over the years you'll find the rewards to be far greater than anything you ever imagined."
As I've gotten older, and tried to apply these wise words, even in my business dealings, I've made some wonderful contacts, and built a huge base of support.
Here is one example, one time someone asked me what they thought could be done to imporve a site. They didn't ask me to do any work. They just wanted me to take a look. The design was really ugly, and I thought they needed to change it as soon as possible, so I spent several hours creating a new design, and sent them a jpg the next day. I went on to make $60,000+ with that person.
I'd love to hear your stories about generosity and giving to others has paid off.
