Chapter 18: Networking
If at any point in the conversation you are given the opportunity to do literally anything - invited to lunch, drinks the following night, a party, put a proposal together, partner on something, work for them, whatever it is, say yes. It doesn’t matter if you have other plans, aren’t qualified, or can’t fulfill the “yes”. Just say yes now, and figure it out later. You will have some time in between this conversation and having to deliver on whatever you said “yes” to, so figure it out then. Chances are, you’ll find a way to pull it off. And that’s always better than never giving yourself the chance to try in the first place.
