My Business Card Story
One thing I've learned in my years in business is that you never know when a great opportunity will be right in front of you. And, you'd better be prepared.
While leaving an event one evening I found myself sharing the elevator with the event speaker... a woman who owned a successful PR firm. Having just heard her talk, and being impressed by it, I introduced myself and complimented her. She smiled and asked me about my business. My response was simply, "I get people excited" and handed her my card.
She took the card and looked at it, and looked at it, and then looked at it some more. And, with a laugh, she finally looked up and said, "This is the first time someone has made a claim about what they do and then immediately proved it. Great card." Three months later that woman got me a project worth $93k.
