Help others first and you will get better rewards

Paul Johnstone
It is always better to give than it is to receive, as the old saying goes….So prioritise helping and giving to others ahead of taking and receiving for yourself.

Be helpful to others and you will be helped in return.

There are lots of sayings about the joy of giving and the rewards you get as a result of your actions so why not get on with it?

Networks of people are often highly complex organisms. Frequently it is not possible to see exactly how and why they are working for you. Therefore you must trust that goodness is rewarded, even if the process is hidden and the effect takes a while to come to you.

Use the principle of 'what goes around comes around' because it does.

Giving first shows to members of the network you are serious about contribution to the group. It sets you apart from the hunters and fishermen in the networking community.

Good deeds and helpfulness tend to produce positive effects. They are usually remembered and frequently repaid. The giver builds reputation and trust. Referrals tend to result.

Imagine yourself having lots of personal connections like this. You become known as a helpful person. Word about you spreads, and your reputation grows.

People who give are seen to have strength to give. Followers gravitate to strong giving people.

Helping others extends far beyond your personal speciality or line of work.

Networking is about working within a system of people, enabling relevant high quality introductions and cooperation’s, which get great results for the participants. These enabling capabilities transcend your personall ability and area of speciality.

Giving works on so many levels. In networking you reap what you sow many times over.
