Even if you have the smallest niche business and don't think that you need anyone else or need to sell services of any kind, there is always something to be learned or accomplished through casual conversations with other successful people in all apects of the biz from billing to blogs to pay sites to designers and programmers or whoever else you meet. That's how I look at it.
