A good number of persons have requested one thing or the other from one coach, mentor, influencer, role model etc but have not received a positive answer.
They keep wondering why these set of intellectual elites refuse to grant their interest. Sad, they feel bad and neglected.
The truth is that a lot of individuals have failed to cast their net properly. They do not have the right etiquette to approach those they admire. They lack the right language to communicate their needs. They come to the inbox of an influencer, throwing all manner of requests and silly endearments.
As usual, such message will be seen and neglected or would I say ignored? Do you know why?
Because you aren't casting your net properly.
You are actually using a spoon to catch a fish. Yes, let's liken them to fishes.
You need a mentor but you do not have a value to offer for their time. You need a coach and expect them to pour their wealth of knowledge without any commitment to self-development?
I am laughing in Chinese 馃槀馃槀馃槀.
Before you complain about financial disability, wait!
Let's say you cannot sign up for their sessions, what about their books? Oh! They aren't worth buying right?
Okay, how well do you respond to their posts?
How do you comment on them?
"Great"
"Thumbs up"
"Nice"
"Good"
Does that show someone who really needs a catch? Does that resonate with the value those influencers hold?
Far from it!
I have learnt to shot my game using the comment session of anyone I wish to learn deeply from. I have learnt to buy books from those I admire.
Did it pay?
Of course, yes!
Oftentimes, I realize that the answers to most of my questions are right on the pages of those books.
Dear friends,
It takes more than your interest to get those you admire and wish to be like. It takes more than sympathy to get the attention of influencers.
Yes!
Just like the good book say, "Let down the net for a catch. Your net could be:
馃搶Proper etiquettes when sending a DM.
馃搶Mature comments on their posts.
馃搶Possession of their intellectual properties.
And finally, get on board their inner circle by signing up for a session if you can.
Remember, cast your net rightly.
For The Love Of Humanity...
Blessings!
