Dealing with Anxiety as an Entrepreneur

If you've been considering starting an online course and you've been wondering how to do it - this episode won't tell you how. But it will tell you what other educators aren't saying. I go into detail about various things that you should be taking into consideration as you make an informed decision.  One thing I want to share with you right away - starting a course is NOT a way to get into passive revenue. So, if passive income is what your goal is, do NOT start an online course. Tune in and listen to the honest and ugly side of being a course creator, and the real insights about what it takes on the back-end. It's much, much more than just selling it.
