About me:
After 20 years in the tech industry as an entrepreneur, consultant and executive, I got tired of working my ass off following other people's dreams only to end up disappointed, so I decided to follow my own dream of becoming a writer.
Now I'm the Entrepreneurs Guide for About.com, one of the top ten websites in the world and a subsidiary of the New York Times. I write a monthly column for FastCompany.com. And my first book, The Virtual Handshake: Opening Doors and Closing Deals .. was just recently published and I'm working now on spreading the word about it.
So, I'm following my dreams, working at home, making my own hours, and having flexible time to spend with my family.
I'm not here looking for romance, just to connect with other people who are interested in learning more about how to build business relationships ...
|
Who I'd like to meet:
People interested in building business relationships in .. communities and blogs; Entrepreneurs and small business owners
