Everyone Wants to Feel Seen
I recently sent a custom video pitch to an author I admire. I had read her book twice in the past year.
I pitched her free work (a gift of a belief clearing session).
She said yes!
A key was that I started the video sharing how much inspiration I had gleaned from her book. I believe this helped her feel seen.
Everyone is human. Everyone wants to feel seen. Will you give that gift to someone, too, a send a video pitch? It just may be the path to your dream job.
