What people write to Attorney Phillips...
I got your DVD and updated my contracts accordingly. So much information - I had to watch several times to make sure I get it all. But the actual work of updating my contracts then was very, very easy. You are right, trainers really don't know. All the seminars, conferences, books and videos geared towards trainers do not mention that. Scary to think how much I didn't know before your DVD.
