Overcome the confidence-crushing concerns that hold you back

Overthinking. If you’re like me, that’s what you do when have a great idea for a new course, but you’re anxious about putting it out there for the world to see. Suddenly you’re filled with questions. What if you don’t know enough about the subject you want to teach? What if you get lost in a sea of others all talking about the same thing? What if what you make doesn’t live up to your own (ridiculously) high standards? Just who do you think you are, anyway? Creators in every niche can find these and other questions on endless repeat in our minds. If we’re not careful, they’ll kill our confidence and shatter our dreams.
