Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

basically, you need to study bean-counting, which means you need to learn how to quantify! once you know how to quantify, you need to learn how to put the price! once you know how to put the price, then you need to learn how to calculate earned value!

once you know the above, then you need to learn marketing! once you learn marketing and you cannot sell, then forget all of the above!
