Actor and writer Dan Levy commented that one of the best things to come from the success of Schitt’s Creek was the ability to fold in friends and colleagues, and the power to give them opportunities in the future. “Success should always come with sharing success,” Levy said.
Most of us are not fortunate enough to be in a position where we can hire all the stars in our circle but we probably do have occasion to use our good fortune to empower others. Make a referral to someone’s business. Hire a former mentor as a coach or refer them to someone who could use some guidance. Make a connection for someone to get involved in a volunteer organization. Share a job opening or endorse a former colleague on LinkedIn as a way to help them advance. Spend a few moments reviewing a presentation or polishing a proposal for a colleague.
Never forget that you become successful by helping others become successful. Share your gifts freely.
