Public relations is a skill that applies not only to the media; it also applies to social situations, especially networking events where your image is everything.
I recently attended a local Chamber of Commerce networking event, and like every other entrepreneur, I went there to mix, mingle, find leads, make sales, and create new money.

Since I too was once a blissfully ignorant and, at times, cringe-worthy muso, I'm not going to sit here and get self-righteous about it.
