Part Two- The Four Sources In last week’s article I discussed the importance of working towards becoming an expert, being specific about what you are looking for, and the importance of developing a reputation for helping people even if it doesn’t directly benefit you. This all equals one thing… RAVING FANS! Not only does it […]
Part One I went to a networking meeting in Richmond yesterday and had a great time. I walked in the door and immediately connected with a few people. Learning where a few folks originally grew up, a little about their story and finally a little bit about what they do. The meeting started off pretty […]

As you […]

Being rushed sucks! About 3 weeks ago, I had back-to-back meetings all day long and probably put a total of 225 miles on my car. The day started perfectly planned with breaks and the appropriate travel time built in. As with some perfectly laid plans, and despite my best intentions, eventually the whole day blew […]
I met my wife while we were both ski instructors at Wintergreen Resort in Virginia. We were young, single and living the dream.
