My Response:
This topic has more to do with the business side of the profession, that
is, being aware of trends that may have an effect on the viability of my
company. After all, if I’m not aware and not able to keep up with what’s
happening around me, and I go under, I’m no longer able to help those needing
my services.
his response:
No disrespect to you.
I have a feeling that the
large owners control
their workers, or influence
the market through control
over them. I don’t think that this hurts
me or my physically challenged.
You as an independent are
in a good position not to
let this happen because of
your freedom of choice in all
aspects. Let us talk!!!
