Effortless Help
You can never help someone by offering anything when they are not ready. This applies to offering advice as much as offering some thing or service.
You cannot teach, advice, suggest, provide things or services and expect anything come out of it except frustration and aggravation if they are not ready.
Given this, you can do 2 things:
1) listen to what they are ready for and provide that if you feel you have something to offer,
and it will be gratifying.
2) On the other hand, if you do want to offer something, resist the urge to shove it down on someone. Instead, make it available broadly exposing it to as many as you can and let whoever is ready come to it.
