This was kind of a cute thing I saw today. I was working on a production where these little kids were captivated about what we were doing. As a result they stood on the sidelines and watched as we did our work. As we were leaving I noticed that the kids were slowly walking with us. I then saw the smallest kid began to push another kid towards us in a way where it seemed like that particular person was shy and wanted to ask a question. I quickly picked up on that and told the people I was with that they probably had questions. Sure enough the person did have a question and asked where the work can be seen.
It’s so funny as even for most types of businesses I feel a lot of your success comes down to making the right connections with people. Many times that means not being afraid to go up to people regardless if you may be rejected or not. Because like in this case that simple fear could have meant that opportunity would have just passed him by. Kind of odd how the older you get the worst you get in just being able to go up to people and ask huh?
In many ways I guess it’s good to still have that adventurous mindset of a kid where anything is possible. I don’t think as an adult you can always have your buddies behind you and pushing you to go talk to the people who can help you with your business growth as an example without it looking too weird.
