I do my best (with limited time) to network/promote contact with my IP law practice. I find that many Brits are offended by it. (Many of whome have safe jobs working in national/local government in Wales. Perhaps not surprising to learn then that Wales has too many people risk-averse working in public sector jobs, who in turn look down on the private sector.

I don't much like Donald Trump - but he had a recent book out, which makes good reading (up to a point) on making it in the private sector world: "Think Big and Kick Ass."
