Be kind
You cannot inspire and grow a community of the very best design Business-of-One's if everyone is just looking out for themselves. You need to look out for each other, develop opportunities for others, and find ways to make sure you all succeed. We encourage and support the connections and the magic of people in the freelance business of design, coming together, in the truest sense of community, by simply exercising kindness.
“Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people’s interests first.” - Bob Burg
