[clue-talk] meeting topics

[David Rudder]

Hey, I've got another good idea for a talk.  Y'all probably know that I 
started my own software company and have been selling an emergency 
response tool.  I'm not the salesman that I should be, so I've been 
augmenting my income by doing contracting programming.   A lot of the 
details of the business are the same with contract network admin work.  
Would anyone care to have me talk about topics like:
*) Forms and Filings
*) Finding client
*) Who's full of crap and who should you pay attention to?
*) Marketing yourself?

I have a lot of insight that most business mentors don't.  Like, the 
fact that most business mentors are full of crap :)
