  • It’s like finding a dentist, doctor, or accountant—interview a few of them, talk to people!
  • To find out about the best conferences for YOU, listen to people (podcasts, videos, etc.) in the space you’re interested in

3 Key Points:

1. 5 to 2 hours of FOCUSED instruction each day is the foundational cornerstone to successful homeschooling.
2. If you’re not working about something you’re passionate about, you’re working a half capacity.
3. Success is a derivative of connectivity—meet people, interact with them—cultivate relationships and you’ll be just fine.
