10. The value of education with Yvonne van Dalen

Why is it a good idea to actually pay for education? And how can you increase your income by investing in education?

These days, many people will think about why they should pay for education if there are so many free online courses. The truth is that you can waste A LOT of time googling until the end of the time, just circling around the same instead of actually having a process and a line of learning.

In this episode, we have a special guest Yvonne van Dalen, a Business Beast and Marketing Strategist and Founder of the Creatives’ Coach Academy, where she helps struggling creatives entrepreneurs and photographers worldwide turn their passion into a profitable business.

Her signature method has enabled her to make 6-figures income while working only 10 hours a week, raising two kids, and having survived depression.

What we talk about in this episode:

Investing in yourself is the best investment you will ever make
Building a business based on who you are
How to stop trying to do everything at once
Art is so underestimated

Two knows more than one, and you don’t have to go it alone. Better yet, by investing in education, you can speed up your business growth and results tremendously and save tons of time, anxiety, and frustration. Investing in your own education is not a selfish act. It is in fact, the opposite: by becoming better in what you do and more focused on what you offer, your clients are better heard, served, and will become your superfans!
