12. GIVING BACK
Giving of your time, your skills, your networks, and financial support.
Finding a cause that you’re passionate about makes giving easy and fulfilling.
Sometimes a cause finds you, be open to that too.
Be persistent
Find a balance between the conviction of what you know, the value you bring and learning from the people you want to help.
