I do not provide webinars. I occasionally teach some CFA classes, but I'm more involved with setting up, organizing and monitoring systems for small businesses. That is an excellent suggestion, however, and something I will definitely contemplate for the future. It's amazing how much knowledge I've acquired in the past two years, since becoming independent.
