I passed LARE Sec D! I utilized Ray Freeman’s webinar as a tool for studying. It was extremely valuable for me to have access to that in order for me to be successful. Thank you!

I started this process over a decade ago, set it aside (not the best decision I have made) while working in the public sector, and want to finish it now. The reports I am hearing about CLARB are not very encouraging. Thank you for your response and may you have a very fruitful career!

Cathryn,

Which section did you just pass? I took section D two weeks ago and am curious how quickly you got your results. I used his webinar and found it to be very helpful. I really would have been very overwhelmed had I not utilized it.

Thanks!

Mildly interested, what location outside of Chicago? I’d rather do an intensive webinar to avoid the travel costs.

Casey,

I just attempted it again and was able to open the “Learn More” section under LARE Section D Study Guide. It worked this time.

Thanks for your help.

The links on your webpage didn’t open so I wasn’t able to review the sample pages.

Actually, Andrew, that is exactly the thought I had regarding it. Thank you for confirming it for me!

[Susan G. Anderson]

Thank you for the thoughtful responses. I realize I need to value my time. This was the first proposal where I invested this amount of time on a potenial work of this scope. As I continue on this learning curve, I realize I need to get input as I proceed. I do consider it a networking and marketing opportunity with this firm. And I have been happy to do it as I have had the time but I realize there are opportunity-costs to take into consideration in the future. I need to ration my “free-time.”

 

Thanks again!

My personal experience is one of trial and error. Working more on the plant side of the profession, I have experimented with plants and fought long battles over aggressive natives taking over! I have had neighbors spraying toxic chemicals over the fence to “assist me” and the same neighbor, after soliciting my opinion about his selection of trees, remove all his canopy trees and hedges. So, it evolves and I have decided that experimenting is the best thing you can do. Our profession is one that works around a palette of materials which changes with age, so nothing stays the same for long. It always helps to be flexible and know you have the option to change it all, frequently. And sometimes with unexpected help!

I would like to add to this post that I want to cultivate this type of project work, and I do enjoy the firm I have worked with on these proposals. Independent contracting is a risk like any other business endeavor and I understand that. I am looking for input on what standard practice is on this type of work.

I have family members in other professions who questioned how I was recovering costs for my time on this as it was standard in their industries for potential consultants to be paid.

Thanks again for any input you have.
