Giving Back
November 5, 2009 1 Comment
As an entrepreneur, the more successful you become, the more people outside of your company ask for your time. The challenge becomes balancing the desire to give back and help others with the demands of continuing to grow your business. There’s no silver bullet here but at the end of the day it comes down to having great people that you can trust so that you have time to give back and help others.
My advice for entrepreneurs is to set aside 5-10% of their time from the beginning for giving back and helping others. You won’t regret it.
About David Cummings
Interesting philosophy David .. definitely made me thinking since you quoted a number (5-10%).. I like devoting most of my weekends to blogging and reading other entrepreneur’s stuff, but feels good to read that I am not on a wrong track (since this is coming from a veteran)
