An unorthodox use of a business card
Have you ever found yourself in this situation:
- you are out on the river boulder hopping at Edwards Crossing on a beautiful August morning
- the leather of your well-worn sandal is ripped from use, which was fine for the first 30 minutes of walking and jumping
- at approximately 35 minutes a blister begins to form under the torn leather at the edge of the ball of your foot
- at 47 minutes said blister makes its presence known to you
- at 55 minutes you realize the ripped leather is your worst enemy for the day
- and you don’t have anything in your backpack besides consumables, keys, and your wallet
- after stopping to consume the consumables, the blister spot feels even worse once you start walking again
- your hiking partner suggests a business card slid under your foot might help
- being the good marketer of your business that you are, you just happen to have your own business card in your wallet
- the result for desired blister relief might look something like this picture:
- relief is fantastic and you think hiking partner positively brilliant
- until the card begins to slip back towards your heel
- you think maybe this is a sign from the universe that maybe you should have stayed in town to make use of business cards in a more orthodox manner, like distribute them to potential clients
- then decide nah, a lovely day at the river is just plain good for the soul, blistered foot withstanding.
- extend heartfelt gratitude to the universe because you have feet, a river, boulders, consumables, hiking partner, and a glorious morning to enjoy them all at the same time.
