However, they are also very busy and their time is valuable. The key factor for them to invest their time in someone else is to see that their time is being used effectively. They want to see that the person they are helping is taking action and making progress towards their goals. If the person they are helping is not taking action or wasting their time, they will eventually stop taking their calls. Therefore, it is important for the person seeking help to be someone who is worth investing in and to provide value to the person they are seeking help from. This can be done by taking action on the advice given, making connections for the person, or finding other ways to add value to their life or career. <br/><br/>The episode emphasizes that investing in personal development and taking action on advice given by successful people is crucial for achieving success. Successful people want to help, but they need to see that their time is being used effectively and that they are making a difference. To be worth investing in, one must provide some sort of value to the other person, such as doing the things they tell you to do or making connections for them. The more successful someone is, the more willing they are to help others get there. However, busy people's time is valuable, and one cannot waste it. The only reason successful people will continue to invest their time in someone is if they see that they are making a difference and taking action on the advice given. Therefore, it is essential to take action on the advice given by successful people to achieve success.
