We have fixed and discretionary purchase decisions.

Write down the purchases you made in each of these categories. What were your 3 largest discretionary non-capital expenditures in the last 12 months in your business devoted to improving your ability to perform or that of your senior management team (course, mastermind, retreat, etc.)?
