Eric Siu explains why he gives without expecting anything back. He aims for a 9:1 ratio of giving to asking, creates free content, and covers costs for others. The magic happens when you stop keeping score.
The ratio I'm looking for is maybe for every like 9 gives, I might have 1 ask. And I don't try to go for the ask too much. I try to just keep giving. And like, that's— this is why I create content for free. This is why, you know, if I host a dinner, I'm gonna try to cover the events most of the time or the dinner costs most of the time or have a sponsor for it. And, you know, I find that just the more that I give, the more comes back to me. And I give without expectation. 'Cause I know at the same time, like, things will just happen. Magic will just happen.
