Ryan Daniel Moran (in a short YouTube #shorts) outlines a practical method for getting 'your foot in the door' with desirable businesses: make a list of 10–20 businesses you admire, contact each person (call, handwritten card, or email) saying you are transitioning and want to help without agenda, ask about their business, identify where you can add the most value, offer to work for free to close that gap for 30–90 days, and then convert demonstrated value into paid partnerships or offers. Moran claims doing this across 30–90 days will usually produce multiple partnership offers before finishing the list.

If I lost everything tomorrow, I would make a list of 10 to 20 people whose businesses I like that I'd like to spend more time with, and I would dial every single one of them or send them a handwritten card or write them an email and say, hey, I'm in transition right now, and I'm looking for opportunities. Would you be open to telling me a little bit about what's going on in your business? And I'd like to see if I can help. I'd have no agenda. I'd have nothing to sell. I would then take those 10 people, find the one where I thought I could provide the most value for that was leaving the most on the table, and I would offer to work for free to close that gap. And then if they found value in what I was doing, then I'd pursue a partnership with them in some way, and I would just go create as much value as possible, and I would see what opportunities opened up. If you do that for 30 to 90 days, you won't even make it down the list of 10 before you have multiple offers of people who want to partner with you or work with you.
