[Promo] promo: back to basics: generosity counts!

[ybillc at optonline.net]

On Facebook I participate in a zinnia seed swap group.

One woman showed pictures of some flowers she was especially proud of, and
yes, it's fine to share one's pride and accomplishments, as she related a
story of how someone else gave her seeds a few plant-generations back and
she has kept the line propagating every year ever since.

She asked if anyone wanted to keep the same promise. I jumped at the chance.

I direct-messaged her, and I tried very hard to counter offer her some of my
seeds. It is a seed-swap group, after all!

Nothing I had was something she needed, and she was lovely about it, and I
really tried. We agreed that she would send me the seeds with nothing back
from me in return. I am in awe of her generosity. 

 

Seeds in the mail, expecting delivery today. I love this concept!

She's paying it forward. Remember the movie?

My LinkedIn parallel? Offer to help someone without expecting anything back
in return and the LinkedIn universe will serve you with buckets of
dividends. 850 million people want to know you are offering your expertise,
time and/or energy, without expectation.

Yes, pay, as in wait for the good stuff and it will come, forward.

But you have to be in the mix to offer something, or else do not complain
you get nothing from LinkedIn.

Pay it forward to your connections. Your followers. Your fellow Gothamites.
Your social media Group members, on LinkedIn and elsewhere.

 

How can I help you get more from LInkedIn?
