Whenever I go to a seminar,
I usually contact the guest speaker
and ask
if she wants to have
lunch or dinner or coffee or whatever.

Often she’ll be busy.
The savvy organizers
will fill her free time
before and after the event.

Sometimes she won’t be.
I’ll ask her how many people
she wishes to have lunch with
and I’ll invite a mix
of folks at her level,
(because successful folks
like to mix with successful folks)
and potential fans.

The rare but golden time,
she’ll have plans
but she’ll invite me along.

I risk absolutely nothing
by asking
and have everything to gain.
