It’s 3:35pm ET on Wednesday, May 18th and I’ve completed my financial advisor speaking presentation on The One Page Business Plan and here are the financial advisor speaking testimonials that I received.

I’m pleased that I have had ample One Page Business Plan speaking practice sessions to get the timing down … results exceeded my expectations with standing room only ( the picture is off the audience 5 minutes before show time ), I believe the IFB is happy, the audience is happy and I’m happy and looking forward to heading home on an early WestJet flight on Thursday, May 19th.
