While every group had eager listeners and some nappers, it occurred to me that the groups that were the most focused were the ones that had the most to gain…or more importantly…nothing to lose. Those in the middle tended to be “neutral” to financial concerns. I continue to enjoy speaking to the Advance classes as I continue to benefit more from them than the intended…”
Thanks, Jim!
