How To Easily Get Referrals In Seven Steps… the Cornerstone Method of Growth For Your Tutoring [or Any] Business

When was the last time someone sent a referral your way?

If you can’t tell me today, yesterday, or this week, then you are leaving money on the table and failing at a-low-cost opportunity to easily grow your business.

Finally, An APP That Gets Me: My Love Affair With Trello

In chasing the latest and greatest, I was constantly learning something instead of implementing what I learned.

And that was a hard lesson to learn (for me).

It took me a while. And some aging. Like a fine wine, we get better as we age… as long as we’re cared for properly!

Why I Say Please & Thank You...To Alexa & Siri

So, we are in a new era. An era where artificial intelligence is just beginning to make a daily impact on our lives.

Our children have grown up knowing this was possible while my generation watched movies like Terminator and thought it possible but weeellllll…

Diving in.

Fact: Kids aren’t taught productivity.
