Think about your daily actions and activities as investments. What value can you create today that will bring you ROI down the line? Keep planting seeds and you will ever-reap the harvest.
This is especially true with relationships (professional and personal). How can you give value (without expectation)?
(If you’re not sure how to start creating value, just be curious and ask interesting questions to learn about people’s stories).
