In marketing your book, product, or service, you can't be afraid to approach famous people or busy people or even untouchables. It's better to go out of your comfort zone and out of your way to reach out to people. It's even okay to be strange.

We're all strangers until we are friends.

Why not take the chance today and make some new friends? Reach out to a stranger and make that person a friend.

Then reach out to another stranger and make that person a friend as well.

In my experience, we can never have too many friends. I have friends all over the world: in Australia, in India, in Italy, in Switzerland, in Ecuador, in South Africa, in England, in Norway, in Russia, in Ghana. And so many thousands of friends here in the United States and Canada.

Those friends are my storehouse of wealth, my storehouse of happiness, my storehouse of meaning.

Reach out today. Make at least one new friend today!

Never be afraid to stand up and advocate for yourself. This is your life. You dictate which story is told. — Admiral Horace Kilbride, character in NCIS: Los Angeles TV show

There are no strangers here; Only friends you haven't yet met. — William Butler Yeats, poet
