Heres to the travellers on the open road

Heres to the dreamers in the bars.

LET THE DAY BEGIN, THE CALL

This is a story about wishing.

RUMER GODDEN, THE STORY OF HOLLY AND IVY

T his book is for the scrappy. The hustlers. The doers. Or the wannabe scrappy, hustling doers. This is for the people who just moved to a new city. Its also for the people who want to start a new friendship, want to embark on a new career, or just want a fresh start. Reach Out is for the people who are wishing for a better, bigger life.

To get all this and more, you are going to start Reaching Out.

Reaching Out means pushing your network to be larger by strengthening ties that already exist, even if those ties seem very loose right now. Reaching Out is not just spamming a famous person to write you back; instead, its thinking strategically about the people you have already met, the people you could make a deeper connection with, and the people your current connections could introduce you to, to help further your goals.
