For sake of context, allow me to explain that one of my wife's favorite movies is Pay It Forward, a movie about a 7th grader who, for a school assignment, suggests that if he, himself, did nice things for three people and then asked each of them to do three things for other people, he could change the world with the ripple effect of all the good things being done. He tries it and it works. Of course, he is killed by the school bully in the end, but the pay it forward thing works.
I can't guaranty that paying it forward will help get money to chase you, but I do believe it is the right thing to do. By actively being involved with your community, you can create a fan base, a group of people who want to see your enterprise succeed because of all of the good you have done (and would certainly do if you became a billionaire). We all need a fan base.
If my plan doesn't work for you, at least it will have worked for the folks you help.
i saw that movu=ie it was kinda sad.
