"If you decide that you're going to do only the things that are going to work, you're going to leave a lot of opportunities on the table".

 -Jeff Bezos.

Sometimes you have to take risks. There’s things that are easy to do and things that you have to force yourself to do. Sometimes you just have to force yourself to try. You can be surprised by the results if you think positively. Often, many people may be prepared to adapt to help you out. There’s always the fear of being rejected; people generally don’t want to be cruel and deny you chances. Sometimes it’s a judgement of character and it’s easier not to be involved. You might feel a bit guilty for lying but a lot of the time you won’t know the full story. You’ve also got to consider what you can get out of the partnership and whether it’s worth your time or if you can get some recognition by doing a favour for someone. But if you have a big network and you’re able to help others grow then they’ll really appreciate it.
