I’m certainly not perfect, but I believe we should always be learning, no matter how old and experienced we become. I’ve already begun working on...
I understand where you are coming from, but will agree to disagree on this point. Yes there is a need for more trainers, but I refuse to support...
Thank you for all of the advice and thoughts that everyone contributed. I’ve begun working on some ideas, and am putting together a shopping list...
