| Guest post from Peter Romary: Harry S. Truman once said, “My definition of a leader . . . is a man who can persuade people to do what they don’t want to do, or do what they’re too lazy to do, and like it.” If we can be generous enough to overlook the sexist element […] | 
| I recently hosted a workshop for business owners where I kept hearing the same question: “How can I get press?” Before I could even respond, the excuses started piling up: “I’m just getting started.”“I don’t have the kind of network you have.”“I don’t have a publicist or PR experience.” Guess what?

| The people in my family, I mean myself and brothers and sisters, are basically working people.
