3. Trust and Be Trusted — Trust underpins strong innovation communities. Take small risks with others to build mutual confidence.
4. Experiment and Develop Value — Favor action over perfection. Try things, learn from setbacks, and iterate; ask for help when you need it.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling) — Focus on fair relationships and partnerships instead of trying to gain at others' expense.
6. Fail and Persist — Failure is part of the process. Keep going and use setbacks as learning opportunities.
7. Pay It Forward — Support others without expecting immediate returns; generosity fosters future collaboration.
