		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Vince: &lt;/strong&gt; answers to your questions...

&lt;em&gt;Re: Time&lt;/em&gt; - Total video time will conservatively be ~17 hours (1000 minutes, 10m * ~100 videos).  I originally estimated on the low side, so you&#039;ll be seeing 8-9 videos per week, with some variation depending on what part of the course we&#039;re in.  I&#039;m still finalizing my schedule, but you can expect at least this much. Average expected duration of the mentorship calls will be 1 hour, but could go up to 2 if the conversation is lively. Note: I&#039;m not sure if &quot;net delivery&quot; is the best metric though - the minutes themselves are less important than the value of the information contained in those minutes.  Regardless of duration, I guarantee you&#039;ll find this course much more valuable than the investment.

&lt;em&gt;Re: time zone&lt;/em&gt; - Calls will be held Wednesdays at 3:00pm MST (GMT-7) and Saturdays at 10:00am MST.  They&#039;ll be recorded so you can listen to them if you can&#039;t make it, and you don&#039;t have to participate in both calls unless you want to.  (You can use &lt;a href=&quot;http://permatime.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Permatime&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to do a quick timezone conversion if you like.)

&lt;em&gt;Re: international calls&lt;/em&gt; - I&#039;m using a service that provides a free international Skype call-in number you can use without cost if you have a Skype account.  I also have local and toll-free numbers available for France and UK if needed, but recommend Skype - the quality of the connection will be better.

&lt;em&gt;Re: advanced question submission&lt;/em&gt; - Yes, I&#039;ll be answering e-mails sent in via the website as well.

&lt;em&gt;Re: call agenda idea&lt;/em&gt; - I&#039;m expecting the agenda to be free-flowing, since it&#039;s designed to be less of a presentation and more of a discussion, which can include conversations among the participants as well.  I expect that this format will result in a better quality of conversation, which will benefit everyone involved.

Looking forward to working with you!</description>

		<description>Hi Josh,

I´m very interested in your course, but I´d like to get some clarifications in order to register.

1) What is the net delivery (i.e without study hours)?. My figures don´t fit: 
* Around 100 videos. (see conflict in next bullet )
* 5-7 videos (10 mins) per week (x12) &gt;&gt; max 84 videos, 70 mins/week,  
* 2 mentorship calls per week &gt;&gt; avg duration? 1hr?
&gt;&gt; Net delivery per week : 1 hr video + 2hrs mentorship??

2) At what time are you planning to schedule the mentorship calls? (I´m living in CET zone). 

3) Call in technology is unclear. I would like to have something concrete. 

4) Is it possible to submit questions in advance for this mentorship calls?

5) Is it possible to get access to a kind of agenda prior to the mentorship calls??
This agenda should include the list of questions to be addressed.

Thanks in advance for your clarifications.

For international participants how would we dialin ? The phone costs could get higher than the cost of the course.

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Roger&lt;/strong&gt; - everyone will have ample opportunity to ask questions; The mentorship calls are in a Q&amp;A format - you bring your questions, and I&#039;ll do my best to share my knowledge, experience, and perspective to help you out as much as possible.  I&#039;ve developed several ways to ensure everyone gets the attention they need, so no worries about being left out.  Calls can always go a bit longer if there are more questions, and I can add mentorship sessions if it&#039;s consistently busy.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Simon&lt;/strong&gt; - we&#039;ll cover business and market evaluation at the beginning of the course, which will help you generate ideas about options to explore. We&#039;ll also discuss market research, which will help you decide which ideas to pursue.  I think you&#039;ll find it quite useful.</description>

		<description>Thanks for your reply Kelsey and Josh. 

I am sold on your course except for one critical personal problem. I don&#039;t have an idea. I know the kind of businesses i DONT want to start but i can&#039;t think of something that i know i want to spend a lot of time on. 

Will this course be relevant for people in my situation and if so how will this integrate with the people who do have an idea?

Thanks

		<description>How many participants do you expect per call? I am concerned that within an hour, some of the questions can&#039;t get through. Would you describe a little more of how the group section will be conducted?</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Kelsey / Simon&lt;/strong&gt; - that&#039;s right. All members will have access to the course materials permanently; access to the calls and recordings after the 12 week primary course is done is contingent upon ongoing membership.</description>
