I'm ashamed to say this, but I spend most Sunday evenings with a drink thinking about the upcoming week. I sit on my front porch and 1 becomes 2, and so on, until Monday comes later than it should.

What do you fear so much about the week?

Its not fear. I look at my calendar and make a mental too do list, mentally practice for prospect or bad news meetings, marketing ideas, and so on. I'm thinking about this stuff and not counting the curls until I've gone farther than intended. The funny thing is that Sunday night is really the only night I do this.

My only fear is letting my family, clients, or friends down.

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement?

Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

TIA
