Dear Joe This is my 4th day of the academy and I have to tell you that I am full of information that I never thought I can obtain, especially in one place. Mike Ergas was great, he tells it like it is, man this guy is in shape, I wish I can look like him one day. The lecture gave me so much to think about, business is important and clients come first like you said. I know you were taping the lecture. Can I have a copy of Mike Ergas lecture, it is great to have for business purpose. See you next week. Alex M.

Joe, I have been wanting to tell you that I never dreamed to be sitting down with the PROS and exchanging words, especially about a subject that I like, for once in my life, being at the academy, I felt so good, not only did I learn so much more than I have ever learned from other certifications, but I had a lot of fun learning. Especially when it got to the practical application, you guys know what you are doing. No one taught this before like you do. I do have other certifications under my belt and they are going to end up in the garbage, what a waist of money and time, I cannot wait to see you again next Saturday, I am so excited. Please tell Mike Sable that we love his lecture. I know this is for six weeks but I wish I can come to the academy every week, it is so great. Joanna Beckwith
