144: £20,000 a Month in Courses, Audience ONLY in the UK, and KNOWING You Can Do It (Featuring Stephanie Taylor)

2 hours 2 minutes

It’s time to get back into interviewing successful course creators and hearing what makes them tick. Today’s guest Stephanie Taylor is new to the show and relatively new to the online course world, but she already has a fantastic story and some important lessons to share. And as one of my former coaching students, it’s super-fun to get Stephanie’s perspective on things since we first started working to take her course to the next level.

"You have everything you need within you to be successful. You just have to believe it."

- Stephanie Taylor
