I am trying to catch up with my entrepreneur connections these days. Those are the ones who are dealing with layoffs, investments, clients, etc. I try my best to listen and learn from them. A couple of days ago, I reached out to one of my untouched (it means we never talked or briefly chatted on Linkedin) connection on Linkedin. I sent a message and asked how she is doing and how’s business etc.
Later on, we scheduled a zoom call, I asked her “How can I help you?”. She was shocked at the beginning. She even said, “Aykut, I don’t have an app, Why are you chatting me:)?” While she was explaining to me her situation she already found most of the answers.
Most of the time, we need somebody just for a talk. It doesn’t matter who is that person. All we need a voice without judge or try to sell us their ideas or products.
Random people work. In some cases, you might even end up finding some mutual benefits from those talks.
Note
If you are a founder and want to chat, please reach out to me on my Linkedin
