I think I getting better in listen. I opened to new ideas and realized that maybe if it seemed like my plan would work, others might be right too. You might be right too, but maybe the other programs are simpler, or better, or something else. You can still feel that your plan is better, but participate. Who knows, maybe they will switch to your program in the middle 🙂
I have the same goal as you and I think you have been good at your goal.
