Awesome post. Reminds me of all the things you can do, that while subtle and small, can add up to something big and important. It also reminds me all of the things I do naturally now (like always take notes and wait to give a good response) that are core parts of being “awesome” and building credibility.

Here’s to the Awesome out there making it happen.

I agree with it being a good article/ interesting read over all, but there is a point where think there is too much serving others. Yeah it will make people think you’re awesome, sorta like you thought someone was awesome for letting you to copy some of their work back in junior high. People begin to think they can walk all over you, so I personally suggest taking this article in moderation.

Unless you do things for yourself, you may never reach your full potential (which equates to awesomeness in my own opinion), so of course really put forth your all in relationships and such, but dont forget yourself.
