One thing that I’m finding cool about the Find Your Great Work book is that it’s prompting me to reach out to people I otherwise wouldn’t.  I’ve been getting in touch with thinkers I admire, writers I dig and cool people I just happen to come across where I think there might be a connection.

Here’s how it typically goes.

I find someone I think is cool and think “I’d love to get in touch with them.”

I find their email and send them an email.

I hear nothing for a week or so.

I send them the same email, but this time with “[resend]” in the subject line.

And often, very often, I get a reply.

Two things I take from this, both important in helping stay the Great Work course.

=> Silence does not equal No.  (It’s just silence).

=> Just a little persistence pays off.  (Don’t give up just yet).
