Some people think that you can’t be generous until after you become a success. They argue that they have to get theirs, and then they can go ahead and give back. The astonishing fact is that the most successful people in the world are those who don’t do it for the money. Old-school businesspeople argue for copyright and patent protection and say, “I can’t tell you my idea because I’m afraid you will steal it.” Old-school thinking is that you get paid first, you sign a contract, you protect and defend and profit. They say, “Pay me.” Artists say, “Here.”
