Consulting can be a lonely gig. In fact, it's often characterized as "feast or famine." As a result, successful consultants develop a broad support network. Any time your friends help you with advice, ideas, a shoulder to cry on—or simply by listening to you—be sure to thank them.

Jerry,
Thanks for breakfast. You got me talking (a lot) this morning, and that's a true gift—being listened to. I was aware I did most of the talking, and actually it felt good. Very few people give me such kind attention.
Your website looks great and is a tribute to your professionalism.
Let's stay in close touch,
:Bill
P.S.—Your photo looks quite flattering.
