#108: How Can I Be The Expert If I'm Just Starting Out?

How can I be an expert if I am brand new at all of this and no one is paying attention—yet? This is a valid, legitimate, understandable concern. My best advice: Get over that doubt as quickly as possible and get moving. Here’s why: We all started somewhere. All the experts you follow and admire today started at the bottom. When I started my business 6 years ago, I was so afraid of so many different things. A big lesson I learned along the way is that you are the expert of your content, your voice and your audience. Don’t think less than that at any moment. In this episode I walk you through the Five Reminders that You Can Be The Expert Inside your Online Course. These reminders are drawn from what I have learned over the last six years. I share my secrets to success because I want you to break through those fears immediately. Before I get into it, I want to tell you about this week’s freebie.
