Here's a question that you can ask people who you meet. Say you want to do well in business. Who is the wisest person about business that you know who's retired, and will you introduce me? There's a few things there. The first is make a very specific ask. The second thing is notice I didn't say the CEO of a company. They don't have time for you. That's why I focus on retired. And then the third thing is, will you introduce me? If you ask that question enough, you have enough first meetings, you end up having good relationships.
