This is an absolute must-read in terms of a great Op-ed example as well as superb and uplifting insight as we all face the current recessionary challenges.
Several years ago I worked for a mover and shaker in the business world who chided me often for sharing “too much information” and not requiring that people pay me for it.
Admittedly, I’m becoming more savvy about not giving everything away, but I still think it’s important for all of us to help one another when we can whether it be in business or in life.
One my heroes is Albert Schweitzer and I have this quote of his over my computer in my office.
“Do something for somebody every day for which you do not get paid.” Albert Schweitzer
It inspires me to always share freely what I can with other folks. The knowledge I have, particularly in the online arena, comes from a ten year career as a technology journalist.
I would never have been able to be a success at that career had I not encountered so many wonderful CEOs like Jon Nordmark, Zach Nelson, Royal Farros, Evan Nisselson and countless others who were willing to share their company stories with me.
By doing that, they helped me stay a mom by day and writer at night!
And am always grateful to Mark Brownlow, the first person who hired me to do writing on the Web.
While we’re all very good at what we do, how often do we take a moment to easily explain to someone how to open a Twitter account, run a release on PRWeb.com or free of charge run their web site through HubSpot’s – Websitegrader.com?
If we’re the digital 2.0 revolution, let’s take as many folks as we can along with us. The world will be a better place by doing so.
