  Bailey Burtron Iiaonna Green    First let me say I love teaching.  It is my God-given gift, calling and passion.  Before I retired from the Navy I was tested by a company that does retirement accounts for military personnel.   What was the result?   I am great at teaching and sharing information, but I can't push a client to close the deal.  So where is this going?      My philosophy of teaching is that people don't care what you know until they know that you care.  Thus I spend a lot of time building relationships and investing in my students.  As I have written before, building relationships with my students involves three things:                                                 -Valuing them                         -Valuing their time                         -Valuing what they value. A student graduating is me seeing the return on my investment of time and building the relationship.  So where is this going?      I will bury my second and third students t
