One, in particular, was a big reminder of how life works. I enrolled for a mini-course a buddy of mine was offering. The topic (which will go unmentioned) was something I had very little interest in.
However, the unspoken rule in this particular friendship was (and is) that we support each other’s efforts. Period. When my buddy asked me to share what my business is about, another student in the class shouted “oh, I’ve gotta talk with you!” That led to a multi-month lovely retainer agreement with a well-recognized company. I’ve got a whole new perspective on attending classes, especially given by people who ask audience members to give a brief bit about their business!
