Responsibility Just Begins After Success

Extend The Olive Branch.   

I am sure you have heard the adage "It takes a village to raise a child."  The purpose was to encourage accountability from anyone in the child's life to protect his/her well-being.  This should also apply in the world of business where there are new leaders, entrepreneurs, and executives frequently on the rise.  What a solid economical future the world would have if our successful business people would reach out and give pointers to the future generations.

Oftentimes it is a misnomer when you get to the top to believe there is no responsibility to give back the knowledge to help others. I am not talking about helping the competition be better than you. Nor am I implying you invest money and resources. I do, however, mean mentoring bright newcomers to take the initiative to spark an interest in a new sport, launch a new product, transition into a new career, or start a business.

A little time goes a long way. Take the time to be humble and speak to others in common settings during travels, church attendance, and workouts.  You never know who you can encourage to be the next great athlete, producer, engineer, personal trainer, filmmaker, financial investor, or CEO.  Success comes with a rewarding responsibility - that of giving instead of receiving.
