Thanks to Chris Brogan over at http://www.chrisbrogan.com/ I stumbled upon a little big video on the topic of sharing. The people at Red Hat don’t just share in an everyday kind of way, they’ve made sharing the cornerstone of their business model. With impressive results, which they happily share with – you guessed it – their shareholders. Indeed, sharing their product (for free) has allowed Red Hat to become a billion dollar company – billion as in a thousand millions – proving again, as if proof were needed, sharing your passion can be profitable business.
Sharing is a good idea any time. For example, share your dreams of an own business or for a career change with a couple of friends and see whether it touches, moves or inspires them. If not, revise. Sharing dreams and passions leads to spending more time with people who share your desire to succeed. Focus on the sharing, leave the marketing at the door, see your business grow. See your happiness grow, too (the state of mind in which your thinking is pleasant a good share of the time). For a stark contrast to sharing, try keeping it to yourself. Travel alone to a wonderful location that offers breathtaking scenery. You’re by yourself, so the scenery only takes your breath away. No-one around to share it with. How does it feel? Makes the Red Hat people look even brighter, doesn’t it?
