You have to realize that when someone doesn't call back, it probably has nothing to do with you and is conceivably the result of a numerologist warning him not to speak with Scorpions while Mercury is in Orange County. Ask the receptionists you speak to what the climate is like in their respective offices, so if someone doesn't return you call, at least you'll know why. It usually has nothing to do with you. I can't tell you how many times I've Fed Ex-ed tapes to Fiji or France and then waited six months for a response. But that slow reply has nothing to do with my value as a songwriter or my work.
Successful people are always busy.
Right now, if they aren't busy with you, they're preoccupied with other priorities. One day, that priority will be you. Until then, force yourself to try to see the other side of it. While dedication is imperative if you want to be successful, it's important to have ways of distracting yourself from the inevitable rejections, so you don't get swallowed up in helplessness. Always have an alternative plan, always - another person to see, six more people to call.
