43. Compliment a stranger on something they are wearing that might be handmade
“Those are lovely earrings. Are they handmade?”
“What a fun handbag? Did you buy that from an artist?”

44. Send a handwritten note to someone you used to do business with
It could be a former customer, a supplier, even an old employee. Don’t try to conjure up new business with them – just write a short, friendly note that will remind them of your previous connection. Ask how they are. Tell them you hope they stay in touch.
