Sometimes, someone just leaves a great impression.
On the PowToon website, users have a way to request work/consulting from me. Many of the messages I get are either “please do this for me for nothing…”, or personal insults.
Last week, someone contacted me, wanting help with a school project – they wanted help adding “cool stuff” to a project.
Normally, I would just reply with a pleasant reply, explaining it was not a support line, or a “fee help line”, but this email was different.
Apart from wanting “cool stuff”, (which I suggested was not the right thing…), they obviously wanted some HELP, (and had also asked about my prices).
So – I started an email exchange.
During last week, that person and I exchanged ideas, concepts, and what I saw was someone GROWING, someone with an open mind willing to learn, and also being appreciative of the advice I was giving.
