00:00 - 00:35 "I think really what I love parents to understand is think about marketing in a business. If you open a business and you just start marketing, marketing, marketing, but you don't have a business plan, you're either going to run out of money or ideas. And that's with a student, when you start them in middle school and you help them figure out their gifts, their talents, their core values, and you start to look at your financials as a family, that gives you a runway of how are we going to build our plan. And that's what it's all about. It's all about the plan.” — Shellee Howard
