My Favourite Quote
“If you overdeliver then they will come back and continue the relationship.” - Darryl Hurs
I’m not sure how many times I’ve heard how important it is to provide value to others. Give more than you receive. It’s not like this is a hidden secret that only successful people have access to. There are people out there who take advantage of those who give more than they receive. By giving you will learn how to deal with these people.
