anyone can throw cash around and brand - sure it reaches alot of people but how many actually do biz because of it?
meeting people pays off long term, in my opinion, because the potential for long term biz is better due to knowing who youre doing biz with and the relationship being built over time.
to me, taking the time to meet people and build business relationships as well as a friendships is where its at.
and you can apply this to the board. its people corresponding on a personal and laid back level as well as business.
and casualness makes it even more condusive for biz. . costa rica, phoenix, cancun, jamaica even hollywood ect are the top gatherings and are the most laid back for the obvious reasons.
i mean who wants to wear a suit and be indoors when you can be free ballin - or in some cases a speedo - poolside or at the beach?
