Sometimes the small ideas are some of the best ones.

If you have a number of suppliers and colleagues whose work you know and trust, ask them each for a dozen business cards. Keep these in a folder with you and next time you come across someone who needs a particular product or service, you’ll have a source at your fingertips. Why not add your name to the back of each so they remember where the information came from? You’ll be helping out 2 people at the same time.
