Luck Favors the Prepared

Summary

• When seeking help or collaboration, demonstrate the effort you've already put in to make your request more compelling.
• If you want a high-profile individual like Lewis on your show, do extensive research and come up with unique questions to ask.
• Offer something valuable in return, such as providing high-quality video clips that the guest can use for their own promotion.
• Even if you don't have a large audience, utilizing resources like a well-lit church basement can enhance the production value and make your offer more attractive.
• Persistence is key; while not everyone will say yes, continuing to make well-prepared offers increases the chance of getting a positive response.

How To Take Action

I would suggest showing you've done your homework before asking for help or collaboration. For example, if you're trying to get a big-name guest on your show, don't just ask. First, spend time researching and prepare some unique questions for them. Show them you know their work with specifics.

To offer more value, even if you're just starting out, you can focus on production quality. If you don't have much money, use what you've got, like a church basement for a nice setting, and make sure it's well-lit. Consider getting friends to help with filming for better video quality.

Here's a key point: offer something in return that can help the other person. It doesn't have to cost much. For a guest appearance, you could provide high-quality video clips they can use in their promotion.

Most important: be persistent. Not everyone will say yes right away, but if you keep making well-thought-out offers, chances are you'll get a positive response eventually. Keep reaching out, improving your pitches each time, and learning from any feedback you receive. Keep it up, no matter how many nos you get. Somebody will eventually say yes, and that's a win!
