I'd like to share an inspiring email I received from Zameer, whom I recently met....
It was a great pleasure meeting you tonight. Your book has helped a number of my friends, mentees, and myself. My grandfather came to this county with very little. He was a successful business person in Uganda when Idi Amin came into power and ran him out of the country with nothing but his shirt. My grandfather was a true networker. The reason he was able to escape the camps of Uganda and find asylum here in America was because he always took a sincere interest in people and gave many people a hand up. When he was at the most dire point of his life, these relationships helped him find a new life in a new country for him and his family. Whenever I would spend time with him on the town, it seemed to me that everyone knew him!!! As a young child I saw this and learned to emulate his sincere care for people.
This early start from my grandfather and having grown up in a tougher neighborhood without any role models that had gone to college, I realized that I had to take the initiative to reach out to individuals that would help and guide me along the way. That being said, it wasn't till after your speech at the 2005 World Business Forum and reading your book, Never Eat Alone that I realized how to truly be an effective relationship builder. Your insights have helped a young person achieve a level of success that I never thought I could achieve. I'm certain you hear it from many readers, but I wanted to say thank you.
