From the Paper:

"Each day I would check for emails from potential clients but would not be interested in writing for them due to the subject matter or the markets involved. One day I received a telephone call from a former client that expanded her business and needed my services again. The client informed me that other companies have been expanding and needed my services. Conference calls were set up for introduction and discussions into sending proposals to various foundations. I mailed out several contracts totaling 45 and began to receive early portions of monetary retentions."
