President’s letter
Do overs. That’s a big thing in our household. Do overs in a game of miniature golf are employed to keep the frustration level down and the fun level up. Do overs in the kitchen are employed to perfect a recipe. As coaches, we use do overs with our clients all the time. We renegotiate our coaching agreements. We redo our websites and our marketing plans. The ACO has come a long way in two years and this latest do over is setting the stage for even greater growth and achievement. Members read more here.
