The work

Does good work need a big budget?

Mary Baum - Monday, June 07, 2010

Don't get me wrong: I'd rather get paid for my work.

But when my father needed new business cards to take to a trade show back in the spring, I certainly wasn't going to charge top dollar. Or even one dollar. 

Still, these cards needed to work hard at the show. A lot of people Dad knew wouldn't be there, and he was going to be introducing himself - at 83 - to a new group of cabinet companies, in the hope that they would agree to have him represent them in the Midwest.

In the end, he got a lot of comments, and a couple of people in company booths agreed to talk to him only after seeing his card.

Your thoughts?

I love the card...but I think I'm IN love with Buddy's smile! I'd take him up on a $2 coffee!
