Questions, Topics & Notes:
- What happened at the CIA Summit?
- What was the biggest realization?
- How do I get rich?
- well I just want to live comfortably
- I can’t seem to break the 50k mark in salary :/
- ~ Tim, Delray Beach, FL
- I have been so busy working as an independent business owner, I have not done my taxes; any suggestions?
- “will it blend? – that is the question“
Will it blend, was brought up because of an interesting article in the Salt Lake Tribune, and a post that landed in Jonathan’s RSS Reader. It’s a simple marketing campaign that is very effective.
Next Q&A will be on April 24th, and Greg will present the basics of copyright and then take questions. Listen to the Q&A4 titled “Video Copyright Producer” where we all have some similar background.
Submit questions when you think of them, then show up at 5:05EST and you can be reminded of your question and ask it live.
