have the "Workshops for Cities" program that consists
of 15 half-day workshops. These have been developed to respond
to the specific needs expressed by personnel from more than
60 cities. We've tested and refined these workshops, and are
now offering (in protected territories) the materials, training
and ongoing support needed to run a successful home-based
training business in this unique niche market. A one time
investment of $49,900 is required. There are no other fees,
royalties, or dues. We furnish the training and on-going support
