It’s a law of nature: the further you rise, the more people will make demands on your time. Some of those requests are self-interested: the informational interview, the job advice, the request for a connection, a recommendation letter, or angel funding. Others may be quite beneficial to you: the offer of a paid speaking engagement, or a prestigious media interview opportunity, or an invitation to an exclusive conference. The easy answer is to ignore all of these requests, deleting them as they come in — or even more extreme, declare some form of email bankruptcy. But, of course, that risks alienating some of your biggest advocates.
