What do gurus live for? Fame & Fortune? or Charity ?
There is definitely an element of "Whats in it for me?" If it is time to leave the office and I get a call from some executive I have not even heard of, what will motivate me to help him? Whats the information worth to him? Will he repay the favour in future if I need info? Is it worth my while to sacrifice my personal time to help him out with his problem for the one our it needs? And maybe since I don't know him, does it matter to me if I help him or not?
Relevant questions? Heck, I don't know ... you tell me ... you guys are the experts ...
