Great question Elmare. The best lesson was the "Rule of 3" Give someone something 3 times before you ever ask for anything in return. This business is so hard and people want to work with people that they like. You want to give selflessly to people to gain support and trust. Then, once you develop a relationship, then you can ask for something in return. It's about the long term relationship, not the short term gain.

Amanda Toney This actually really good. Thank you for this this. It will help me to place boundaries around my giving as well. Being a Business owner , you are the brand and by giving too much, your business suffers. I love this advice Nugget. Thank you
Hi, Elmare Hendricks. I was a producer way back. I learned that a producer needs to learn about the different areas of the industry and stay up to date on what's going on in the industry.
