Why I Stopped Helping People And You Should Too | CamMi Pham

Why I Stopped Helping People And You Should Too - Life Tips. - Medium

Society always emphasizes on the need to help people. I do it too.


They tell you that you should help people unconditionally and when they least expect it. None of that is, of course, wrong. Random acts of kindness can change a person’s life in many instances. However, there is a flip side to every coin. And it is essential not to mask the other half of the impact of any such gesture.


Not everything is bad. Same as, not everything is good. There is the good in bad. And there is the bad in good. It’s not necessarily the worst idea to help people. But it’s also neither a great one. And here are the 3 cases where I personally stopped helping people and recommend that you should too....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

CamMi Pham's mother taught her never to give unsolicited advice, nor try to help anyone unless they ask you for it. She was right! A consultant must-read! 9/10

Beware of the "quick fix" and social media "snakeoil" salesmen that promise the moon and don't deliver.  When you are hiring a professional digital marketer, you are bringing someone onside to help you improve the communication of your brand image and build relationships with your customers.  

 

It's a long term investment, not a short term fix.  And social media is one tool in the arsenal of digital marketing management.  

 

If you want results, hire a professional.
