Always carry business cards

This is a rule I’ve known for a while.  I just haven’t been following it.

You never know when you are going to be in a situation where someone wants your business card. 

This is not the case where you are just trying to give your business card out to anyone who is breathing and near you.

This is an actual case where someone comes up to you and says “Hey, I know you.  Do you have a business card?”

Previously, I would just look at the person and say “No, I sorry. I don’t.”

Now, I’m going to start carrying business cards in my wallet with me everywhere.  Because you never know where your next client will come from.  Or your next job opportunity.
