Things I've Found That Are Awesome #44

YES it's finally warm out, but in very New England style, it went from chilly to offensively hot and sticky. Oh well, it still helps put those dark days of February and January more in the rearview.

How to Get More Professional Referals- On the more business side of things this week, it's not a really mystery that you need a good network of professionals to make your training top notch. Pat Rigsby's post from last month is a really good guide on how to make it happen, and he knows a thing or two about making it happen.
