Although the type of job Mia wanted was low-paying, it would've been extremely difficult to find a restaurant willing to take her on with no experience. Yet, shortly after she began her search, she became an apprentice (学徒) at Le Bec Fin, which was considered one of the best restaurants in the country.
How did this happen? Mia shared her goals with everyone she met. It turned out that her grandfather's neighbor had a cousin who cooked for the White House. A conversation with her grandfather led to a conversation with his neighbor, which led to a conversation with his cousin. Finally, the White House chef knew someone at a restaurant in Philadelphia, and that led to Mia's apprenticeship.
There is one essential way to get people to help you achieve your goals. Whether your goal is huge or small, most people want to help you. What you have to do is share your goals. If you're not comfortable asking for help, you can mention what you're trying to do and wait for people to
raise their hands. They will.
And tell everyone. Keep in mind that most of your friends know the same people you know. So it's important to share your goals with strangers you meet. This approach has been helpful to me numerous times.
When you're having conversations, and someone asks what's going on, let them know what you're trying to accomplish. Most people will want to help you, and you never know who can help you achieve your goals.
