“Odds are, someone in your life has told you when it comes to achieving success there are no shortcuts. But this is a lie. The world has changed, and with a click of a button and a few carefully chosen words, you can connect with anyone in the world. When it comes to creating your dream career, the best place to start is by reaching out to the people who already have it.”

This is great advice, Michael. I’ve been focusing a lot more lately on connecting with and helping the kinds of people who are doing the type of work I admire and would also like to do; and it’s been a quite an eye-opening experience for me. Building relationships with others really is an essential ingredient to not only succeeding but also leading a meaningful and enjoyable life.
