I know that people are out there trying to run a business. I get that. I have been running businesses myself for over 15 years. Sometimes it's tough to get the clients you need.

The other members of the board recognized this quality and even mentioned in a meeting, "When someone does a great job when they are doing volunteer work, then just imagine how good they are when they are getting paid!" I got quite a few projects through referrals from that board of directors. By working with them even on a volunteer basis, they got to know me and what I had to offer. They don't hesitate to refer me to someone in need of my services.
