The complete CPM course of studies for PMP. After thirty years of managing projects it was great to find out the theory! I really enjoyed this course and it convinced me to concentrate on my Sales, Marketing and Systems Design interests! I like project management but not as a full-time vocation.

If you want to improve your business, plan to sell it!

If you have ever "staged" your home for sale, you know what we mean. You paint, tidy, repair, mow, plant, get rid of clutter. You get around to doing those fix-up projects you have been putting off.

By the time you have finished, you begin to think: "Wow, this is actually a really nice place! Perhaps I should stay." Whether you sell or don't sell, cleaning out the attic (physically and metaphorically) is often long overdue.
