I live in a small metropolitan area with only about 110,000 people. And it seems even smaller than that. I\'ve been doing business in this community for over 20 years. I\'ve worked in non-profits, sales, publishing, printing, construction and now Internet publishing. Very little of my business is now local. But I DO run into people often from previous business relationships. Like me, many of these people are in different businesses--often different careers altogether. <... more...
