It's fulfilling to show others what you know, and teaching makes us better at what *we* do. It's also a great marketing tool.<BR/><BR/>As for creating competition, if Mario Andretti teaches a race car driving class, does that mean his students will suddenly beat him? Highly unlikely. You don't have to give away your trade secrets just to share you joy for soapmaking with others.<BR/><BR/>And you're right, it creates more appreciation for the products you make - people who are educated about the process can now see the level of care and craftmanship in your products. <BR/><BR/>Great post!<BR/><BR/>Jamila White<BR/>"The E-Commerce Diva"<BR/>*as seen in Entrepreneur magazine*<BR/>http://www.ecommercediva.comecommercedivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12845864310709186098noreply@blogger.com
