”Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambition. Small people always do that, but the really great ones make you feel that you, too, can become great.”
-Mark Twain
Write down the names of all the people you would love to go to lunch with, people who inspire you and positively influence you.
Pick up the phone, call them, and invite them for
tea or lunch.
Although some people may be busy, many will say yes.
Most people will be flattered by your request.
Who knows, they may even offer to mentor you.
