Today's #WoVOChat on the topic of predatory coaches/demo mills overflowed with great information. All of the attendees contributed some invaluable suggestions that bubbled over into a worthy discussion on many aspects of our business. Know some people who are just getting started and want some...
Got a few minutes to drop in and contribute to the conversation??? Past #WoVOChats have been increasingly lively and fun. See Monday's Blog for a list of the questions we'll tackle. Of course, the conversation usually goes far and wide beyond the posted Questions and Answers, but that's what...
