Why Help People When There’s Nothing In It For You?
Why do I help people when there is nothing in it for me? Because of stories like the attached. Because it feels good. That... is... it... Don't own your own business? I'll still help you. You'll never be a client? I'll still help you. If you come to me and a) you're...
“This is my view at the moment.”
Home ruined, church destroyed, city devastated. I hadn't heard from one of my team members in a few days. These pics are from some of my international team after a typhoon (hurricane) hit their city this week. While so many of us are worried about first world...
