Way to go, Harold, I'm blown away by your transparency in this article. Totally agree with what you're saying and the comments posted. But I do believe there has to be a "happy medium (or an equalization factor)". In thinking about the adage, "It is Better to Give than to Receive", there is a certain amount of gratification and possibly self-actualization when one gives freely (without expectations) but receives in return (monetary or otherwise). Having said that, I do believe that sharing knowledge begets knowledge and wisdom - which is truly priceless. Finally, with all this said, your business model needs to work and provide benefits for you. Sounds like you're standing at the crossroads in your decision making.
