Sometimes the best role models for business and networking don&#8217;t come from the business world at all. One such role model for me is my friend&#8217;s mom, who was a master of &#8220;the greeting.&#8221; She greets everyone she meets with the biggest smile and with such excitement, you&#8217;d think you were the [...]]]></description>

You often hear about entrepreneurs getting lucky - getting on Oprah or selling their business for $50 million to a big conglomerate. When you hear these stories of seeming overnight success, it makes you think, &#8220;Wow, they are sooo lucky.&#8221; But what sometimes appears to be luck is actually the result of a [...]]]></description>
