I want to blog about some of the speakers I heard at this year's bookfair.
First of all I have to say that I had a "10+" on my nametag this year! That means I've been going for 10+ years. WhooHoo! It's my favorite time of year. Better than Christmas for me.
As I was going through my notes I decided to type them up here. Remember, these are notes so they may sound incomplete but they make sense to me. ;)
The first one is by Jim Hodges. His talk was about being self-employed (SE). Since my son and I are working on starting our own puppet show business this class was right up my alley. I had an advantage over some in the class because I knew what I wanted to do, I have experience and previous knowledge of my business idea.
Okay, on with the notes.
