Coyote

Written by: Keith Ferrazzi

Article Overview: Met a young man by the name of Coyote who works at the hotel in St. John's. He told us all the cool places to visit downtown. Coyote is interesting to me because he announced to me that he has no ambition, no desire to achieve anything other than climb rocks for the rest of his life. So he goes around from state park to state park and gets odds and ends jobs to give him just the means to work the rocks in the area.

Coyote

Met a young man by the name of Coyote who works at the hotel in St. John's. He told us all the cool places to visit downtown. Coyote is interesting to me because he announced to me that he has no ambition, no desire to achieve anything other than climb rocks for the rest of his life. So he goes around from state park to state park and gets odds and ends jobs to give him just the means to work the rocks in the area.

But even in Coyote's case, building relationships is crucial to his success and happiness. think of how much more climbing and fun he can have throughout life if he builds great personal relationships with people who can give him flexible, short-term work, and people who can give him access to the best climbing spots, etc.

Whether your goal is to be CEO or a perpetual free-as-a-bird thrill-seeker, your journey will be much easier and more enjoyable if you proactively build the right relationships.
