Feedback from a participant:
'I found Tao's course an invaluable reference in planning our land based enterprise. The videos are concise and distill a lot of lived experience into manageable and sensible areas produced professionally, enjoyable and informative. I was able to frame some of my existing plans and ideas against Tao's experience and own site. I came away with a clearer understanding of what to plan and work at next and indeed clarification that I wasn't a million miles away. Many thanks for a great hand rail in this new start for us..'
