Ask never fear to ask
Ask don’t be afraid to ask for help or advice, you will be surprised what you may get. At the end of the day, you lose nothing.
Listen what happened to me the other day. I was searching for a movie at the local video club when the owner asked me something. Before we go any further, you have to be aware of what the Owner knows about me, he knows my name and he knows I am Spanish, thats it.
So the guy asks me “Adan do you know any shipowners in Spain?” what are the chances right? That I know these people, quite small…
I asked him why he was asking, he responded that he was helping a friend to sell anti-piracy systems to shipowners. He was already doing business in Germany and of course in Greece. He saw me come into his shop and he thought…”he is spanish, maybe he knows spanish shipowners..”
The best part of this story is that I do know the shipowners, I used to work in the shipping sector in Spain for some time and have all the contacts.
I was shocked by this coincidence and congratulated him on his luck. This story just shows that although chances maybe small, we do not lose anything just for asking.
You just may get lucky!
