Have something to show.
If you don’t have anything to show. Hold your tongue.
It’s fairly simple that when you meet with anyone in your interested industry that you need something to give them or something to show them. (Best if you have both.)
However, time and time again I meet with aspiring writers, entrepreneurs and PR folk only to hear about their business plans, goals and ideas.
People care more when they see or touch something.
Not so much when all they do is hear it.
Stay Positive & Show + Give = Trust
