Last night I visited the Face to Face group hosted by Hannah Krueger (180 Headhunters) to show the attendees how to write their 30-second elevator speeches/commercials. It was a lot of fun and the results were awesome. The formula works! It’s easy. It’s fun. This morning I dropped into another networking group by invitation of

This morning I emailed the copy to the Tacoma tax attorney I’m serving to have him review it. The copy-editing/enhancement/proofreading task took just a tad over three and a half hours.
