Here's an informative piece of wisdom from the story of Carl Berg...

Berg took the hotel job with the goal of meeting someone that would give him a job in investment banking. "My theory worked fine," Berg says and explained that he eventually approached a regular who turned out to be the largest home builder in the country. The man offered Berg a job in the local office.

What I find amazing here was that Berg took a job purely in order to meet the people he wanted to meet - that would help him become a big money-making success. It's a piece of wisdom befitting a wizard...

Many people become successes just this way... They plan to meet a certain person, or a certain type of person, who can help them get to where they want to get - then "strategize" so that this meeting is more likely to happen.

Why not you, too?
