WHY CPS IS DIFFERENT
QUOTE OF THE MOMENT
This Mark Cuban quote is our philosphy on how we do college planning. Don't do it like anyone else, because if you do you will end up with moutains of debt or end up going broke.
"Always ask how you would design a solution if no current solution existed. 99.99 percent of the things we do in business are being done the way they have always been done. No one has re-imagined how things should be done. That is what successful people do. Every situation they are in they take their knowledge of the business or situation they are visiting, whether its buying a deck of playing cards, eating at a restaurant or trying to solve a problem and think about how to re invent it. They don't ask people what they would want. They envision a complete reapplication. Then they decide what to do with what they just recreated."
-Mark Cuban
