Online Disruption - give it away!
We live in a captitalist world of markets, supply and demand. Nothing is free - there is no free lunch. We've all been brought up and indoctinated with selling, profitting and what's in it for me.
We've been at it so long, giving away even a little is frowned upon and people look at you like a loon. Those days are over. There is so much transparancy and social interaction today that you cannot just be a bottom line driven unless you have something truely unique to offer. (Trust me, its rare). Where does that leave us?
You've got to give it away. Give away as much as you can! Its contrary to everything we know but its the last great currency. If you can give away advice, pillows or sandwiches do it. Folks are so thankful for a little bit of genuine free-ness they'll love you forever. Get ahead of the other company or employee by being the person or organization that isn't trying to make a buck on everything. It just might be the thing that saves your job.
