Lesson 7: Don’t expect other people to do it all for you

If people offer to put you in touch with rich veins of work, thank them, but act as though it isn’t happening. Never rely on other people to do your work for you. And always assume that those helpful people will forget to carry out their promises, just in case they do forget.
But never resent people for forgetting little things like this. Remember that everyone is just as busy as you are.
