What does it mean to "Dig Your Well Before You're Thristy." ?

This is probably one of my favorite quotes by Harvey Mackay.

Every successful person will tell you that you should always be building your business network.

Not just when you need it but moreso when you don’t.

My network has saved me so many times with new jobs, new clients and help with solving some big challenges.

I am greateful for all of the people in my network and don’t hesitate to help anyone that may need it.

If you are not building your network and your relationships, they won’t be there when you need them most.

Here is how I “dig my well” a little bit every day.

I’m kind to everyone.

I listen to others needs and wants.

I care about other peoples perspectives.

I empathize with other peoples situations.

I focus on having compassion for others.

I respond rather than react to situations.

I try and give more than I get.

I give credit where credit is due.

I offer my help.

I make sure to connect on social media to stay connected.

These are just some of the ways.

How do you dig your well?
