The power of friends
After having lunch with Abhilash today, it occurs to me just how import friends are. I’m not talking about “networking” – where you pretend to be friends with someone because you think they’ll be valuable to you at some point (and stop all contact when they realize you won’t be – a’la Matt Cutts and all of his blog “friends”) – but real friends who are:
- Â Interested in what is going on with you
- Â Look out for your best interests
- Â Ask nothing in return – and get much more
These are the people that you can turn to for advice and help when you are running a business, and their experience and respect are absolutely invaluable. And – sadly for many people – you can only get them by being the same to them.
OK. Onward.

Actually, I was pretending. It was all about trying to grease you up before hitting you with the anniversary favor. 🙂
J/K. Great to see you too. Looking forward to seeing you more often now that I’ve got much more to learn from ye olde radio flyers!
