Yes

The Professional Networker, Inc.
Where did you get your idea for your business or the business you'd like to start?
It actually came to me in a dream. I was so depressed working for my now x-husband, working for someone else after having my own business was terrible. The idea of an online calendar with all the business, networking, fund-raising and career development events came in the form of a dream I had during a nap.

What was (is) the biggest hurdle in getting your business off the ground?
