Luciano Pavarotti’s Secret for Online Success

At one point in her life, my wife managed a large department in a huge corporation. If you know my wife, you know that she’s the sweetest, nicest, most generous, giving person you know. I mean, she’s really nice. It’s obvious that she’s nice. Nice is how you would describe her.

There’s nothing wrong with any of those things. I’d like more too. But motivations can be interesting predictors of success. The more that we want tends to come along when we give more, but when we give because we want to receive, it doesn’t always turn out so well.

If it sounds complicated, it’s not. Here’s the secret:

Some singers want the audience to love them. I love the audience.
