Love it. I live by this, too. I call it "providing value". By providing value to others you'll be sure to open doors and creating opportunities in the long haul.

It's what I preach at Shipharder.com and in articles here at Dev.To.

People that are trying this out with a focus on short term gains, put this off as BS. It's because it isn't a quick life hack that will help you benefit. It is a lifestyle, or mindset if you will, that needs consistency and requires you to put in the effort - providing value - in the long term.

It doesn't matter if you're providing value by sharing knowledge, by actively helping or by building products that provide value. As long as your intention is to help others.

✌🏻take care and keep providing value like you did in this article 👌🏻

Thank you Edwin! What a great comment! Providing value is a great principle to live by.

You nailed it in the head.
