It happens.
You consult with a client and you both think you have discovered virtual business nirvana.
From my perspective this would be someone who needs my skills and abilities and who understands how to work virtually. Someone who will not only share their vision with me but will be open to mine.
Then you get to work. [...]
This article on Fast Company raises so many important issues:
What are your whys?
