Rules of I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream: Challenge conventional thinking. Innovation often comes from imagining possibilities beyond established boundaries.
2. Open Doors and Listen: Be approachable and receptive to new people and ideas. Active listening can spark unexpected opportunities.
3. Trust and Be Trusted: Build mutual confidence by taking small risks with others; trust is essential for collaboration.
4. Experiment and Develop Value: Prioritize action over perfection—try, fail, learn, and repeat. Ask for help and seek feedback.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling): Foster partnerships based on respect and reciprocity rather than trying to gain at others' expense.
6. Fail and Persist: Expect setbacks; the important part is to keep moving forward and learning.
7. Pay It Forward: Support others without expecting immediate returns—generosity cultivates goodwill and future collaboration.
