Calling all entrepreneurs, do-gooders, world-changers, creative people! Here's some great advice for you from Kyle Zimmer, the president and co-founder of First Book (speaking to a crowd of young entrepreneurs at a conference in Barcelona):
“Whenever you hit a point at which you feel you have no idea what you’re doing (and if you don’t reach that point quickly, you’re not moving fast enough), make a list with the ten most acclaimed experts able to answer your questions. And then call them one by one even if you have never met them or your list includes Bill Gates. It doesn't matter. Tell them your story and ask them for help. Some won’t call you back. In fact, I can pride myself with not having been called back by some of the most accomplished people in the world. But you’d be surprised how many will.”
