This one’s pretty simple:
- Email someone new every day for 28 days straight
- Ask these people for something
I’m trying this because I seem to know of a lot of people, especially online, but they don’t know me. Specifically, I’ve never asked them for anything. Asking initiates a connection. And if they respond, we’ve connected.
So I’d like to practice that: the art of the ask.
I’ll ask for information, advice, interviews, free stuff, special deals, or anything else I can think of. I might even ask to meet with some of them. The point, though, overall is to ask.
Twenty-eight emails over 28 days. I don’t know who the 28 people will be or what I’ll ask specifically, but I’ll make that up as I go.
Starting now.
