I don know a single person in the media and entertainment realms. Where do I begin to make contacts?
This one is a lot easier than you might imagine. Simply spend a lot of time out of your house and in whatever environment you would like to cover. Andy’s own example in terms of developing media and entertainment industry contacts was to simply go to concerts, parties and functions night after night and introduce himself to as many people as possible. Get out there, talk about yourself, pass out business cards and follow up with those that you so desire. But remember, in all cases use an extreme level of tact, be polite and never use anyone as a stepping stone to get to the next level. What goes around comes around and the way you treat other people usually comes back to you.
