Cordia Harrington probably went to sleep last night exhausted. The Nashville, Tenn.-based small-business owner, who runs the Nashville Bun Company, hosted President Bush yesterday at her business—and she only found out about it last Friday.
"We spent hours walking through the bakery and plotting how the visit would flow," Harrington told BusinessWeek. "We usually think we're pretty good at drop-in company, but this is definitely short notice."
Still, for business owners like Harrington who get the chance to play host to the president, the ensuing fame and surge of interest in their businesses probably makes it all worthwhile.
Harrington has been famous to us for a while now, ever since she appeared on the cover of our December/January 2004 issue talking about how she defines success.
