> 3. Never eat alone--try to take someone out to lunch or coffee every day. Simply say, "I'd like to learn more about what you're doing, and tell you about what I'm doing, can I buy you lunch or coffee?" Years ago a marketing guy told me "2 lunches a week". I was indiscriminate in my selection of lunch partners -- anything remotely possibly business related counted. The year I took his advice I increased my income by $50,000. The extra business didn't, for the most part, come from my lunch partners. It came out of left field. The Universe works in mysterious ways. Take @scotporad's advice -- take people to lunch.
