     Share Your Tiny Story

   Don’t Fall into the Trap of Isolating Yourself

When you do what you do for a period of time, keeping
true to your Tiny values and achieving some success along
the way, you will eventually get noticed—especially if you
keep up with relationships. That’s when it’s important to
share your story.

    As an entrepreneur, you will always have stories to tell
and there will always be someone who can benefit. We
live in a world where we think everyone knows, or owns,
more than we do. Some do. Some don’t.

    Share what you’ve learned. It is an act of generosity,
and it is as simple as sending the elevator back down or
holding the door open for the next person.

             “Send the elevator back down.”

                             —Lee Eiferman, LeeWords

              Share to Shape the Future

Speak whenever you are invited. Look for opportunities to
share and mentor. Regularly schedule time in your week
to guide or coach someone who requests help. This is you
making a donation, helping to shape the future.
