Doing what I do, you meet a lot of high power people. But none compares to my friend (I now call him a friend rather than a client) Steve. I will not disclose his last name. Anyway, Steve invited me out last night to a bar to celebrate his birthday. Where I met some of his other friends, all high powered people. It would seem that success attracts success. I have said this before, but it is always nice to see it come into fruition.
Moral: make new friends, and be sure to conduct yourself in a manner which does not destroy your social image.
