“We’re all kind of the same mess underneath… The more that we can all share what’s really going on underneath and how many times it took before we had a successful course launch … or how many NOs we got along the way… It’s more realistic for people, and those are the messages that people need to hear because the world needs entrepreneurs, more people bringing their gifts to the world. And I think the way marketing is running right now, I think it just makes people want to give up.” ~ Katie Proctor
