How about sharing completely??
I have heard the talk of there is plenty of work out there for all of us before, many times. Usually at PCSO meetings or AAO meetings.
Thing is, these same folks at the same time will, and have, interupted conversations with doctors at meetings, right at my display booth. "HI BOB!!!" or some such thing, shakeing hands being loud while tugging the doctor away. Doctors are very P R related for the most part, the meetings are quite open, they try to be friendly.
Just that, when I here, "Theres plenty of work out there for all of us" it puts me on my guard. The example of behavior above ("Hi BOB") is a small sample of the tactics I have experienced. Those experiences didn't sour me to the meetings and exhibiting, they fueled my competitive nature.
Now, here at this site, I enjoy complete sharing of what I have learned and developed.
Mike.
