A recent CNN/Money article caught my eye this morning as it posed the question “Should you charge for lunch dates?” In addition to making me crave P. F. Chang’s (as it is the site of many of my lunch dates), it also made me think about the increasing level of complexity to business luncheon etiquette.

The other day I met the most amazing man. He is a doctor by training, but an outstanding business man by talent. He has built himself a multi-million dollar organization from the ground up. Always fascinated by self-starters and ingenuity I asked him how he did it. He said he had a vision in the 70’s of what he wanted to accomplish. He was told several times that it was impossible to realize his dream, because no one was doing it, and quite frankly, it couldn’t be done. Today he is a millionaire many times over, and he encourages others to believe in their dreams.
