I have been thinking about trying to get in contact with the people that I admire (in a business sense).
For a while now I have been reading interviews with people that run businesses or are doing the things that I want to accomplish, and at the end of the interview I find myself thinking "crap, I wished they had asked xxx", or "I wonder if they ever..." It makes me wish that I could just dial them up and ask myself. Obviously this isn't quite possible, but I think e-mail may give a better shot.
The problem is that these people are obviously busy, and I am sure get slammed with questions from people wanting something for nothing all day long. I am sure this makes them put up a shield, or even worse: outsource the replies they give to someone else.
I am talking about people that I would work for in a heartbeat if they offered me a job, not celebrities or pro athletes.
Has anyone done something like this, or have I just fallen off my rocker? What kind of things can I do to separate myself from the hundreds of other questions?
