There&#8217;s a reason why Jim Rohn was known as &#8220;America&#8217;s foremost business philosopher&#8221;.
The following video presentation featuring Jim explaining his Four Questions is evidence of the value of the &#8220;fundamentals&#8221; he taught for over 40 years.
These are perhaps the four most important questions you&#8217;ll ever ask yourself. I suggest you take the time to listen, [...]]]></description>

Seems like a harmless question.
Simple to answer, at least at first&#8230;
But then, when you really start to think about it &#8211; you realize it&#8217;s a lot more complicated than you first thought.
There&#8217;s your students; I mean, you certainly care about them.

Setting A Marketing Budget When You&#8217;re Just Starting Out&#8230;
Early on (when I taught part-time), I spent all my profit on advertising. ALL of it.
