I'm a little hesitant to post in this thread because I don't want to jinx it.

I've been very fortunate in that anytime I've needed anything done for me, I have a great circle of friends and associates that can refer me to the right person. I cannot emphasize enough, how important it is to have that in this, or any industry. With the anonymity of the net, this industry probably moreso than most.

Plus, when there's time and/or money involved, NOTHING beats the GFY search function. While GFY is full of a lot of BS, the search function is one of the most important tools we as webmasters have at our disposal. You just need to take the time to filter through all the crap.

I also can't remember a time when I wasn't able to deliver what I promised. If "I" couldn't do it personally, I made damn sure it was still done. But, more importantly than being able to deliver, is the ability to accept responsibility when you weren't able to keep your word...no matter what the reason may have been.

You'll gain a lot more respect by owning up to something and being 3 days late, than you will by making every excuse in the book and only being 1 day late. At least in my eyes.
