A post about giving in blind faith probably wouldn't go over too well, but if there is a "secret behind the secret" it is to give with no expectation of reciprocation or score-keeping. You will receive more than you give, but thinking about that in advance kinda spoils it. It's best if you can just give without thinking about what you might get from a person in the future.

I've only been running my own blogs for about 4 months now, and I am definitely learning that giving turns into receiving. I think that's really what is meant when people say, "It's who you know," but the meaning of that phrase gets misconstrued as, "Only those who already know people at the top can get anywhere," which is totally discouraging. Maybe what that phrase really means is, "Get out there and do something helpful for someone else." And bam! Now you know someone! Thanks for the great post! I really enjoyed this post, Michael.

Providing great content, tips, tutorials and resources are a great way to help others. I am involved with a Networking business and help people all the time. I help them fix their blog, keyword research, article ideas, fix plug ins, finding the right server, any other problems they may be having etc. Building relationships is the key.
