10 bold moves for a more creative you – Day #3

Today is day 3 of the “10 bold moves to stir up your creativity”.

Bold Move #3:

Do you have someone you look up to? Someone who has the career you admire, or that you want to know more about but are too scared to ask to meet? Go for it – call, email, dm, however you can – but take the chance. After all, they are just a person, one who was probably in your shoes not too long ago. It’s well known that Steve Jobs was a college dropout before he became the CEO and founder of Apple…

Recently I took the chance and contacted Chris Brogan, someone who I admire. He and I were going to be in Vegas for CES at the same time and I was hoping to attend a presentation of his but didn’t think I could get in. He did one better, he offered to meet me for coffee and talk with me. Not only did he take an hour out of his day to talk to me, but he invited me to Wordcamp to see his presentation that afternoon. Spending time talking with Chris not only made me realize what a normal guy he is, it also gave me a whole new perspective on blogging, social media and myself.

Who do you admire and want to meet? You’ll never get the chance until you say something…
