You want a college senior’s help.
Or you want to reach out to a founder to seek their input on your business idea.
Maybe you want to reach out to someone experienced for just guidance. 

And quite often we think we do not have anything to offer in return.
But that’s not the truth.
You do have something to offer.
The only difference is, it isn’t in return.
It is in advance.

What you can offer them, is clarity on how they can help you.
You may have to research them online. See what piques their interest. Think about what you could do to have their attention.

And then, pitch them with your offering and the ask.

If you want to be helped, the best way is to start by helping them understand how.
