Top 3 Value Bombs
1. If you want to build strong relationships with people, especially with higher profile people, you should not ask for a favor for at least a year; otherwise, they may view it as you just using them.
2. Optimize for interesting - that will help you keep moving.
3. Often many people are giving up too soon; be strategically patient, place your bet and be aware that the results may not come for a while; be willing to persevere while waiting.
