Quotes & Tips from Novice to Expert
Choose quality learning sources
The scam artist is another person you should avoid at all costs. The truth is some industries are filled with “gurus” who promise to teach you everything they know for the low, low, low price of 12 installments of $97 per month.
Vision

What I don’t recommend is convincing yourself that it’s necessary to master a skill in the next month. This will only lead to frustration and burnout when you don’t see instant results.
