Sometimes opportunities emerge as we take the time to listen to an unlikely prospect.

Yes indeed. I've worked with more than one Donald Duck.

My favorite was the 'lost trailer' call.

Everything screamed, "Annette, you don't do trailers!"

A certain money loser turned into a enduring business relationship that has proven profitable for both sides of the equation.

Let me be clear, I've also invested time, energy and money on situations that failed in spectacular ways.

Moral: you need to follow the trail until the destination is revealed.

I can't think of anything in particular.
