Today, you need to be more proactive about getting what you want: go right to the source, right to the person or people who can help you get where you need to go, meet that person you want to meet, or invest in that resource you need so badly. Making more aggressive moves might be hard at first, but once you get the hang of it, you will find that it creates some impressive results. People are receptive to hearing what you have to say, and they will respect your forthrightness.
