In order to get mail, I could rely on rural delivery, which service is fine, of course. The downside is, if I needed to pick something up from the post office, a package or what-not, I would be required to drive 15 miles, which would be a pain.

The JF Guest Author Spot Drew Stevens PhD I work with many business owners and selling professionals. When I ask them what they do they immediately rush into their title. Each states, “I am the President of a Bank”, “I am a Consultant”, “and I am a Professional Speaker”. If I were a client and heard this I immediately state, “So What”?
