Case in point. I have been interviewing various service providers to learn about their businesses, themselves and what they may bring to my clients. Last week, I called a woman with a professional organizing / decluttering business. She shared her business model and enthusiasm for her work with me for some time and I asked specific questions based on clients I have in mind. It was a useful hour of learning for me.
Having noted that her name was also my maiden name, at the end of the call, I asked if we could determine if there is any connection between her family and mine. Imagine how surprised I was when we quickly discovered she is married to the son of my cousin! Not just related, but closely related.
By that point, her husband had joined our discussion and we threw family memories back and forth.
The outcome of this amazing coincidence is that I have a new (to me) service to recommend to clients and we will be having a family reunion in the spring for me to reconnect with long lost family.
