L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 9 months agoI just wanted to say a big thank you to Brandon for starting this conversation….it made me feel a lot less nutty to go through this process with a crowd of others in the same boat.

L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 9 months agoTwo points Brandon makes that I would like to reiterate, because they are really important if at first you don’t succeed….

L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 14 years, 9 months agoCongratulations Brandon! It was obviously a real slog, but you kept after it! This is a good lesson for everyone, if you don’t give up and keep working at it, you will pass.

I imagine Ready Set Practice by Bruce Sharky or Guidelines for Professional Practice by Lane Marshall would address this.
