These 5 Steps were inspired by this conversation with Amos (see his other interview here - #14)
Create a Plan of Action
1. Make a List - check it twice
Write down 10 people you admire and would love to talk to.
Go on...dream big and write down the names of people you are thinking of right now - the CEO, top exec, the person who holds the position you are dying to have. Want to be the VP of Programming at Comedy Central? Why not reach out to that guy and share your passion and ask for a meeting? What have you got to lose. If you have 30 names, narrow them down to 10 and prioritize them.
