The moral of this tale is NOT to pitch everyone, it's to love all the people. The people will (sometimes) love you back!

I remember sitting with a new client, a driver, just shooting the shit. He was a lovely man and we got on well.

His brother happened to be a massive plumbing distributor and came to me when his current accountant screwed up. I helped him out, and he's still my client.

Activity is everything. Make mistakes faster than your competitor while they are sitting around telling their friends about their big plans. You've already weathered the storm while they are taking the time to choose the perfect umbrella.

Good morning, here's my fortune cookie business message of the day.

The win is never where you think it’s going to be.

You may be about to bring on a big client and it falls through. Don't be discouraged. That could pave the way for a mammoth new client in the future.
