I would like to personally recommend anyone who feels they need more knowledge,
information or a critical, honest eye, take Norm's course(s).

Norm, through this forum, his Budgeting forum and his website, www.reelgrok.com
has and continues to provide a hugely positive service to our community.

Yes, I am a fan, if you want to call it that. He and I speak from time to time.
He has proven both knowledgeable, polite and always helpful. So if you can, get
to L.A. and take the course. If not, check into his webinars, also equally
helpful and informative.

Thanks,
David Fisher
