What is the first Step in the process?
For those of you at the first meeting... we can get to know each other! Talk about goals, dreams, time expectations set the foundations of mutual expectations?No commitments yet, just a chance to see if we can work comfortably with each other, if we can build a relationship, based on trust and reciprocal respect? otherwise is not worth it!
Anything else you would like to add?

Yes!

I do advice everyone to look for answers and plan ahead! You should learn to ask questions! Use the time and resources available wisely, plan ahead and strategize, look for mentors, get as much professional help you can afford, and don't expect somebody else to take care of your problems!
