People often forget how valuable it is to develop a helpful mindset.Being helpful to other people is never going to get in the way of your success.Here are some habits you should start practicing to be more helpful to people in your life：

●Be there for people in need.

It doesn't matter how high someone climbs.Everyone has moments when they fall.When you get the chance to be there for someone who really needs you,be there.Even in noncrisis moments,if you know that someone really values something that's within your power to deliver,then do it.

●Look out for others'blind sides.

Every once in a while,I'll get an email from a friend with a link to something that he or she thinks should be on myradar.It could be a potential competitor or a list of industry trends I should know about.Whatever it is,receiving a short email about it gives me the heads up.This act is as valuable as it is simple.As soon as you identify something of value like that,just think of someone you know who could benefit from it,and send a quick email.

●End conversations by asking how you can be helpful.

I know this sounds simple,but you can honestly be your own best researcher;you just have to know what's truly helpful to other people.I used to make the mistake of trying to help people by doing what I personally thought would be nice,such as sending introductions.It simply wasn't the right approach,though,and it can do more harm than good.Now,I make an effort to understand what is actually helpful to each person I speak to.

●Write down meaningful things.

As soon as you meet someone you know you can help,write it down immediately after you chat with him or her.No one expects you to start doing all of these things tomorrow,but if you keep at it consistently,the repetition will start training your brain to be a more helpful person.I adopted some of these habits a few years ago,and the changes have beenincrediblypositive—not only in my professional life,but in my personal life as well.
