\n\t\t\t\t\u201cHerbalists need to be very clear about how they view their world and what role they want in their world. Not looking at the world on what role it\u2019s going to give you. Because all it\u2019s going to give you is either the right to make money or the right to owe money, and herbalism shouldn\u2019t be about money.\u201d\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
