Achieve Goals: How to Connect With Successful People #shorts

Surround yourself with people that are getting the results that we want for ourselves. For example, when I want to do this movie, I didn't go to other friends that have never done movies. What I did is who started networks, who's won an Oscar, who's won the thing. And the most successful people are the most available if you reach out with specificity. And I know I don't say that right because I'm dyslexic, but being specific, it works like this. If I want to get to an Oscar winner, I say, I'm asking for 12.5 minutes of your time. I'll cover all my own costs and expense to come see you from the time I open the door till I leave will be 12 and a half minutes exactly. I'll start a stopwatch to ask you one question. XYZ. The chance of them coming from their office to the break room for that 12 and a half minutes becomes finite. It's so easy for them to do, but unfortunately, most people do it wrong. They say, I want to pick your brain. I want to take you to lunch, I want to buy you. No one wants to go hang out with you. But when you make it finite like that, it makes it easy for them to say yes.
