We’re back, and we’re still talking about mindset! It was great to debunk common mindset myths for online course creators last week, and I really felt we needed to continue our conversation
"If you’re afraid to ask for reviews, you need to reevaluate your course and the quality you are providing."
- Jacques Hopkins
It’s always a good time to refocus, challenge limiting beliefs, and adjust your mindset. I really enjoyed my conversation with David, and I think you will too!
